Milk Quota Can Be Eaten
In MANY Delicious Forms

Milk is cheap food at any cost,
considering the food value it gives.
Grownups as we'll as children need
it; and from a pint to a quart a
day should be allowed for each
member of the family.
The fact that milk is theNsole food
of the newborn infant and that it
continues to be a main influence in
his diet throughout childhood shows
it's importance to growth. A young
child can get the material he needs
for building strong bones and teeth
only through milk.
Milk is rich in the minerals cal
cium and phosphorus. In addition,
whole milk has a high place among
foods because Of the quality of its
protein (ranking with meat, eggs and
fish, the value, abundance and
variety Of its vitamins, and the en-
ergy which its fat and sugar yield.
The daily quota of milk can be
eaten through other forms than
fresh whole milk, as in cheese, milk
soups, or creamed dishes, but SUBJ
stitution of cheese for all of the daily
milk quota is not recommended. 1t
is better for adults to use part milk
and part cheese.
The following are about equal in
the food values for which milk is
primarily important: l quart of
fluid whole milk; II ounces of evap-
GRATED milk, l quart of skim milk
plus III ounces of butter; S ounces
of American (Cheddar) cheese; AZ
ounces of dried whole milk; and 31s
ounces of dried skim milk plus III
ounces of butter.

To Clean Water-Paint Walls

Walls painted with modern water
thinned washable paints may be
washed by sponging the surface
lightly, using a soft sponge or cloth
and plenty of water. A small
amount of mild soap may be used if
necessary to loosen the dirt. If it
is the first time the wall has been
washed since being painted, it is a
good practice to add to per cent
of ordinary 40 per cent Tornado
hyde to the washing water. This will
prevent the paint film from absorb
ing water. and will tougher it's re.
sistance to abrasion. Always start
at the bottom of the wall, working
up, so that dirty water, running
down from the sponge, will not W
the dry wall below in Streaks.

Title Hands Down

Hennepin County CLIO council
nominated Sen. Henrik Shipstead
for the title of "public vacant

and the bill had been killed, council
members said, Shipstead replied to
them that ga motion to apply the
cloture rule failed to pass by vote
of al to 81 and therefore no further

sure during this session Of con-
gress."

Senator COnnally
Doesn't Like Others
Who FiIibuster!

Washington, Dec. 5.-Sen. Tom
Connally d., Tex.), to whom PM
readers recently awarded the big
gest lollipop in the world, today de-
Tended on the Senate floor his we'll
earned right to the title of Hon.
Lollipop.
He emerged as an expert on fill
busters to denounce the efforts of
Sen. Bennett C. Clark d., No.,
who had served notice he would in
troduce a thousand different mo-
lions" in a one-man filibuster
against compromise legislation to
adjust American claims against the
Mexican government.
The Hon. Lollipop, who led the
silly, undemocratic talkfest that
killed the anti-pon tax bill, was
Clark's harshest critic.
Clark had made his sixth demand
for quorum call when Connally,
whose poll-tax record was nine
quorum calls in two hours, arose in
indignation.
He protested that Clark was call
ing for too many quorum calls too
close together.
"I'm going to see to it that this
filibuster is conducted according to
the rules" he shouted.
This, as he should have known,
gave Clark something else to talk
about.
81 admit" said Clark, chat the
Senator from Texas is the greatest
filibuster in this Senate or any place
else. But we shouldn't have two
sets of rules-one when the Senator
wants to block something and an
other when he is trying to railroad
something through the Senate"
Clark held the floor until Demo-
cratic Leader Alben W. Barley
Unanswered a recess until Monday,
when the boondoggling will be re-
sumed.-PM.

function and that the plaintiff can
not collect in a damage suit grow

Counsel for the plaintiff said that
the city conducted a business in

Didn't Get to
Deliver Baskets

For the first time in many years
Lewis Ewing, well known citizen
of Minneapolis, was unable to per-
form his usual good cheer job of
giving baskets of food to some of
the needy families in the city. 1t
was all because on Saturday, No
vember 81, he became i'll and was
taken to General hospital for an
appendectomy.
But an aching appendix was no
barrier to Ewing. He solicited the
aid of friend who delivered the
baskets for him to the families and
Ewing went on to the hospital hap
py because he had made others
happy.
