1 Health

Remember: One quart of milk is equal in food value to any one of the following: Three-fourths pound of lean round steak. Eight eggs. Two pounds of potatoes One-third pound of white flour.

Remember: Heavy meats are not only expensive, but they impair good health. Cut down your meat diet and increase your milk consumption and you will have better health, make more money, because you will feel better and be happier.

A QUART of milk a day for every child, if possible; a pint without fail; a third of a quart for each adult. Plenty of milk will help give all your children, big and little, the chance for health they ought to have. Buy MORE MILK and your family will be BETTER fed. Milk helps your children to grow. Besides being a good, allround food, milk has something special in it that makes children grow. This something is found in some other foods, but not in such large amounts as in milk. - Milk helps your children to keep well. It would help keep you well, too. Look at children who do not get milk, but get tea and coffee instead. Most of them are pale and sickly. Where milk is scarce, there are always very many sick children. Give your children pure, clean milk and help them to grow up and be strong and well and win their fight against disease. Save on other things if you must, but not on milk, your child's best food. Milk gives your children lime and other salts which they need. There must be plenty of lime in their food, for a great deal of it is needed for their bones and teeth and a little for their blood and all other parts of their bodies.' Right food not drugs is what children need. One cup of milk contains six times as much lime as one egii and twelve times as much as two slices of bread. It is the cheapest food for lime and contains that essential element in a palatable form.

Milk gives your children the body - building protein, one of the materials from which their bodies are made. Milk is like eggs and meat in this. This body-building substance, the protein, of milk is not new to you, for curd is milk protein. Cottage cheese is curd separated from milk. When we drink milk or eat cheese we give" our body proteins, which are changed and become part of our muscles, blood and other parts of our bodies. The milkprotein is good for everybody and especially good for children. They need a great deal of it, because their bodies grow so fast. Milk gives your children fuel to burn in their bodies. They are so active that they need more fuel for their size than grown people do. The , fat and the milk sugar and part of the protein in the milk all burn up as fuel. Milk' is much cheaper fuel than meat. A quart gives the same amount of fuel as a whole pound of lean meat or as eight eggs. Think of the cost. Milk is far the cheaper. Still less expensive fuel is a bowl of bread and milk or cornmeal mush and milk. Skim milk is good food. It has the lime and protein and . sugar of the whole milk. Use it, but use whole milk, too. Milk should not be the only food for children, of course. They need vegetables, fruit and cereals. But even the bigger girls and boys should have milk. Don't think of milk only as a refreshing drink, but as a good, nourishing food. ' , . Be sure your milk is clean and fresh. If you live in the city buy it pasteurized or raw from a dairy that you know is clean.
