was a very healthy drink and good
for those who took il, but that l
didn't like il and had lived 81 years
after gave it up in good health,
and quoted DR.. Soper, of st. Louis,
who said man is the only animal
who continues TO drink milk after
infancy and has paid for that with
a host Of diseases.
a reader, Drl L. T. Dunaway. of
Eldorade Springs, Missouri, con-
tributes this verse on the subject:
1.-THE COW drinks water by the ton
And at eighteen she is done.
The cat in gravy daily soaks
And then in twelve short years she
croaks.
The modest, sober dame dry hen
Lays eggs for 'noggs' and dies at
ten
All animals are strictly dry
They sinless live and swiftly die.
But sinful, ginful milk soaked men
Survive for three score years and
ten.
And some of US though mighty
few
Stay lively till we're ninety-two.
(Dr. Dunaway does not claim
originality for this outburst, but
neither he nor know the author.)
Doctor Discusses Milk
Mr.. Karl H. Starkweather, Of
Plymouth, Michigan, writes: at is
beyond me how there can be some
people who do not enjoy milk. On
Christmas l arrived at the age of
81. / have drunk milk in quantity
as far back as my recollection goes
and am still doing it. In my OPT
Mon it is the very finest drink that
am. l expect to keep doing it for
another 40 years. My wife, how
ever, is one of those people who
doesn't drink it. In thirty years
of married life ] never saw her
drink a glass Of milI.'
In this connection The Pet Milk
Company, OF St. t.cais, ask me to
make correction which l am glad
to DO.
an discussing milk In your
column you say-'Evaporated milk
is clean, but expensive
"Evaporated milk, far from be-
ing expensive, is much cheaper in
all cities, and indeed in most
places, than plain pasteurized
milk. There are few cities in the
country today in which plain pas
teurized milk can be bought for
less than ID to II cents a quart.
Evaporated milk is widely sold
now at 9 cents per tall can con-
tanning a total of 14ls ounces OF
double-rich evaporated milk. This
is equivalent to about Is of a
quart of bottled milk"
Young Peoples Clothes Habits
Mrs. C. D. Wheelock, Of Wash
ington, D. c., wants to know
"Now that cold weather is here
and the bare-headed vogue for
young people still exists what can
we do about it? 1t seems so fool
ish for the young boys, especially
not having the quantity of hair
the girls do, to suffer through win
try blasts just because nobody
wears a hat Especially just after
getting over a cold is it not dan
gerous =? / am concerned about
their ears chiefly"
Along the same lines a lady
from Detroit is agin bare legs.
"Can't you draft letter to go to
the principals of all high schools,
telling Of the dangers of girls 60
ing around with bare legs in win
ter weather? 1t must be bad for
their health, anyway it is ugly.
Mary Martin is the only woman
who has a right TO exhibit bare
legs in a snowdrift. l have heard
there is no temperature sensation
in the legs. Is that true? But, my
goodness, think of the chapped
skin"
Comment by Logan Clendening
1t is true that there are very
few temperature sensing nerve
ends in the skin Of the legs. You
can tell that in the bath tub when
your knees get ice cold, but you
don't realize it.
