MILK IS PERFECT
FOR HUMAN FOOD
Department of Agriculture Urges
More Liberal Use of Product
to Save Meat.
IT EXCELS ALL OTHER FOODS
There Are Always Sick Children In All
Localities Where Milk Is Scarce
Excellent for Body Build
ing Protein.
Milk 1b tho nearest approach to n
perfect human food, nnd it 1b by far
tho best food for children. Children
must havo milk in order to dovclop
properly, nnd njl persons of whatovcr
ago need It in order to keep in prop
cr condltln.
The ndvico, of tho United States de
partment of agriculture is : , "Snvo .on
other things if you can, but hot on
milk, your child's best food."
Children who do not got milk, but
nro given tea nnd coffee instead, nro
for tho most "part sickly. There nro
always many sick children in cities
nnd in countries where milk is scarce.
When prices go up and mothers begin
to cconomlzo on milk, moro children
becomo sick. That is one of tho
things that, under nny and every con
dltion, the government regards it ns
essential to guard against. Food
must bo saved to feed tho army nnd
money must be saved to flnanco tho
wnr, but the nation's children who In
a little whllo will bo tho nation's men
and women must bo given their oppor
tunity for health and strength. Incl
'dentally, tho liberal uso of milk docs
savo meat and other transportable;
foods.
Needed for Bones and Teeth.
Children, in larger mcasuro than
grown persons, rcquiro lime. It is
needed, particularly, for their bones
nnd teeth, and in smaller quantities
for their blood and other parts of
their bodies. Milk Is tho chief food
for lime. A cup of milk contains ap
proximately four times as much llmo
na nn egg. It 1b tho cheapest food for
llmo.
Milk is also an excellent food for
body-bullding protein. In that respect
It is like eggs nnd meat. Milk pro
teln is especially good for children,
but It is good for and should be usctjj
by everybody.
Milk, In addition, is an excellent
fuel food. Children, who aro much
moro active than adults, need moro
fuel to burn In their bodies to help
them run and play and work. Tho
fat and the milk sugur burn up ns
fuel. A qunrt of milk gives tho s.amo
nraount of fuol ns a pound of lean
meat. A quart of milk gives the same
amount of fuel as eight eggs. Milk,
even nt ndvanced cost, Is tho cheap
est fuel food. Tako your pencil and
make a little comparison in cents,
Skim Milk Also Good.
Whole milk, of course, is tho best
food. But Bklm milk Is good food,
too. It hns the lime, the sugar and the
protein of tho whole milk. It is do
fielent In fat nnd htiB not much of tho
growth substances us lias whole milk.
Use whole milk but do not throw
uway tho skim milk.
Kvory child, big or little, should
have plenty of milk, Tho big boys nnd
girls need it only slightly less than do
tho babies, and grown parsons need
it only slightly less thun tho big boys
and girls.
Bo liberal with the milk ration. Do
not think of milk merely ns a refresh
lug drink. Think of it as n good,
nourishing food tho best food. Tho
children need other foods, of course
vegetables, fruits, cereals. But, most
of nil, they need milk.
Be sure that tho milk is cleun and
fresh when it is delivered to you, and
that you keep it cold and clean and
covered until It is used.

MARKETING BUTTER AND
CHEESE BY PARCEL POST)
Creameries, dairies and individual
farms, in various instances 'vyhlclj
have been authenticated by tho bureau,
of markets of tho United States do
pnrtraent of agriculture, havo doveli
oped a successful system of parce
post marketing for butter and cheese,
Tho conclusion reached by specialists,
of tho department as a result of n
number of experimental shipments la;
that well-raadq butter, thoroughly
chilled beforo shipping, may bo marV
koted successfully by pnrcel pos(
when packed In a suitable contained
and where extremely high temporal
tures-nro not encountered. Shipments
during extremely hot weather frei
qucntly nro unsatisfactory. '
Tho bureau of markets received 454
shipments of butter, coming distances
of from 187 to C30 miles, during varl
ous months of tho year. Of these
shipments 440, or 00.0 per cent, wero
received in satisfactory condition. Tho
bureau reshipped this butter to vnrt.
ous stato experiment stations nnd tho
shipments arrived in good condition
whero tho temperaturo and dlstnnco
wero not too great. In general, ship
ments from Washington wero success
ful when forwarded as far north as
Malno nnd as far west as Michigan
and Indiana. Shipments into tho
South wero successful shorter dis
tances. Farmers' Bulletin 030, "Marketing
Butter nnd Cheese by Parcel Post,"
Issued by the United Stntes depart
ment of agriculture, gives detailed ad
vice on methods which havo been
found advantageous. Tho bulletin
urges that every care and precaution
be exercised in making tho butter nnd
preparing it for shipment. Tho ship
ping container should properly pro
tect tho butter, and packages should
be posted as nenr to mall tlrao ns
possible in order to obtain delivery In
tho quickest practicable time.
Tho postal regulations provldo that
when butter Is so packed or wrapped
as to provent dnraugo to other mall
it will be accepted for delivery either
at tho ofllco of mailing or on nny
rural route starting therefrom. But
ter will also bo necopted for mailing
to nil olllces to which, in the ordinary
course of mall, It can bo sent with
out spoiling when suitably wrapped or
inclosed or when packed in crates,
boxes, or other suitable containers.
It is well to stamp or write on pack
ages of butter: "BUTTER Keep
away from heating apparatus."
