MILK AS A FOOD
(By DR.. C. E. Northrup, Health
Commissioner

(By DR.. G. e. NOrthrup, Health
COMMISSIONER
MY thought as health commits
sioner is to call attention to ma
ture's most perfect food, milk.
Here in our county where dairying
is carried on SO extensively. milk
should be used by both children
and adults every day.
More attention is being given the
foods that go to make up our daily
diet than ever before. Army life is
demonstrating this fact. Our boys
In camp receive the best possible
foods. Physicians are recognizing
as they never have before, the value
of proper foods for their patients.
In milk the proper proportions OF
protein, carbohydrates, fats, miner
ais and vitamins are found, and If
we had sufficient amount of iron
added to milk, it would be the per-
feet food. Every child should have
quart of milk daily in the diet.
The daily average amount Of milk
now consumed in the United States
is about one pint per capita. One
cow will supply about enough milk
at this rate for IL people.
The protein in milk helps build
tissue, the carbohydrates supply en-
ergy, the fats provide fuel, the min
erals build bone, and the vitamins
protect against disease. Skim milk
is valuable as a food If it is neces-
sary to watch your weight, for all
the minerals, protein and vitamins
are still present, but since the fats
are removed it's value is greatly les
sened
When one considers food for
it's best nutrition and for its cheap
ness, milk is the one selected; but
rem EN- bert is not a balanced
diet and it is necessary to have a
balanced diet for health. Add to
milk a diet of meat, eggs, leafy
green and yellow vegetables, whole
grain bread, and fresh fruits and
you have an ideal balanced diet.

SOIL TESTERS COMING

Special interest to all farmers
should be an announcement that
the soils testing laboratory from
Ohio State University will be in
Morgan county on Tuesday and
Wednesday, April 1929. The soils
truck will make four stops in the
county as follows: M. & M. high
school, Tuesday, April % at 10 a.
M; Pennsville high school, April
28, at 1880 p. M; Chesterhill high
school, Wednesday, April 20, at
$50 a. M; Stockport high school,
April 20, at 1:30 p. m.
Every farmer in Morgan county
should be interested in having an
analysis made of the soil on his
farm. Only in this manner can
the intelligent recommendations be
made for lime and fertilizer appli-
cations. Farmers bring in your
samples and have them tested
while you wait.

SABOTAGE AND SABOTEURS

In recent days a great deal has
been published about sabotage AMI
saboteurs. A few of that element
have been apprehended and a small
number have been placed on trial
before a military commission. We

but we can say that the thought Of
it sickens US.
For one hundred and fifty years
we have been telling the world a.
bout the American MELTING
POT: how we receive NATIONALS
of other lands and makes them cit-
liens and Americans. Well, We are
finding out that an oath Of fealry
to a government must be made by
the heart and not by lying lips; #
it is to mean anything.
Our theory is excellent, but our
practice has not yet risen to the
high level Of the theory. And while
we dislike having to remind Amer

The awful truth is that these
Nazis have been preferred to our
own colored people; they have been
EMPLOYED while loyal black men
have had to stand by and beg f7r
work in our war factories; they
have had to stand by while these
enemies entered very door, while
they could not. even to give their
lives to save the ibertis OF all men
