Feeding peanut oil to cows in
creases the butterfat content of
milk.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-07-12
QUART OF MILK
 A DAY FAVORED
Hot Weather Diet Should Be We'll Balanced to
 Meet Body Needs

The weather does not control the requirements of the body for food sol it's not too hot to eat, asserted Elizabeth 0. Nickersor, director, Bu- reau of Public Health Instruction in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health. With re- duced activity during hot weather less food may be eaten, Miss Nicker- son explained, but the diet should be well balanced and sufficient to meet the body needs. While there appears to be an unsuitable desire for liquids as result of the body loss of water through precipitation fluids alone cannot be depended up- on for the body machinery needs fuel and fabrication even when there is less functional activity. Milk and fruit drinks, salads and fresh vege- tables were recommended to take the place of the heartier foods.
 If quart of milk a day is con- sumed Miss Nickerson continued, 1t will go far toward keeping the in- ternal machinery functioning. Milk, although furnishing liquid. at the same time provides valuable cal- cium, phosphorus and vitams A, B and G. Adequate iron and vita- min o will not be amply supplied by milk 50 salads, green leafy vegetables and fresh fruit should be used. Eggs and cheese as well as fish and lean meats must also be worked into the diet to supply adequate protein. Foods of high calorie content such as breads, cereals and fats should be reduced especially If activity has been curtailed in hot weather.
 Now is the time to spare the cook 50 ready-to-eat cereals of the whole grain variety may replace the cooked cereal and toast made quick ly at the table with a minimum of labor may be substituted for the customary hot mullins, Miss Nickcr- son advised. If oranges or grapefruit are too scarce or expensive, chilled tomato juice, unsweetened fruit juice or an iced melon might be substi- tuted. At either the noon or night meal the occasional use of eggs and fish was suggested in place of the heartier meats. A vegetable plate of fresh vegetables and cottage cheese or salad of a mixture of raw vegetables make good combina- ton with colds cuts. Ice cream, chilled custard or fruit furnish ac- ceptable hot weather desserts.
