HOW TO AGREE WITH MILK

~@~F@~~1NS N"@@-N@@
 Conscious of my own antipathy for mashed potato (excvse me while I shudder) I must concede some in- dividuals cannot take milk. But only those who are actually allergic to milk belong in that category. Nine out of ten who think they do not like milk are missing boon to health and nutrition, in my opinion, Now, don't retort that I'm missing a boon to health and nutrition when ]. worry along without mashed po- tato. Nothing about mashing 'em that changes the value of potato in the diet, and I 90 for French fried potatoes if they are genuine, or German fried, or home fried, or scalloped, or roasted potato if there is pork gravy to go with 1t.
 Children who are finicky about drinking milk often become keen about 1t if some one who likes milk contrives to start a good natured competition in drinking milk, with some reward for a good record. Of course this doesn't work well unless the adult is really fond of milk and takes 1t in preference to tea or cof- fee when the child is at table.
 Mrs. H. W. c. writes that she be- came impressed by my writings on the health and nutritional value of milk. She was 'Sl years old before she could take any milk at all. Her mother had tried countless methods to persuade her to drink milk, but never with any success. At the age of 22 her aunt consoled her by b0asting of her own fine health and the aunt never could take milk either. But the aunt nevertheless died at 48.
 Now this IS how Mrs. G. learned to agree with milk. She left off all attempts for two weeks. Then she began taking teaspoon of milk daily, followed by water. After three days she increased the daily dose of milk to three tablespoons, always followed by a drink of water. After a week she increased the daily dose of milk to a wineglassful or slightly more, kept that up for two weeks. Then she took as much as half of an ordinary glassful of milk daily for two or three weeks more. By that time 1t became easy for her to take Q glassful of milk whenever she wanted 1t. Mrs. G. says she att tributes the success of this method partly to the fact that she took a suitable daily ration of vitamin B complex to supplement her diet tl1roughout the time she was build- ing up her tolerance to milk, but whether that had anything to do with 1t I don't know-at least 1t did no harm.
 Tn many instances an infant who cannot take or digest cows milk takes goats milk readily and thrives on 1t.
 Tn some instances a child who re- fuses to drink ordinary pasteurized (par-boiled) milk finds pure fresh raw milk entirely acceptable to taste. Only raw milk I can recom- mend for infant, child or invalid, is Grade A Raw from tuberculiI1. tested herd or Certified milk.
