EYERY CHILD SHOULD DRINK o MILK THREE TIMES DAILY How Lime and Vitamines in Milk Pro mote Growth and Bone Develop ment In Children as Well as in Rats-Milk for Growing Children Rather Than Tea or Coffee "What a lot of milk you use!" ex claimed Mrs. Olds, watching the milk man place 4 quart bottles and a pint on her neighbor's porch step. "What on earth do you do with it all?" Mrs. Newson looked soniewhat as tonished. "Why," she replied, "we drink most of it, of course. A pint and a half a day or a glass each meal f6r each of the three children, the pint for grandmother, a glass or more each for Mr. Newsom and myself, and the rest for breakfast ccrdals, coffee, and cooking. In fact, I often have to buy an extra bottle if I want to make a pudding. Tom, especially since lie has been on the high-school athletic team, very often uses a glass or two more than I allow for him." Some Children Do Not Like Milk "Goodness, my children wouldn't drink milk if I paid them. We only %take 2 quarts a day, and hardly ever use all of that. My family's larger than yours, too," Mrs. Olds reflected. "Seven of the children at home, now that Maude is married. I often wish I could get.Florence and Ida to take milk and eggs better. They're both thin and nervous and seem to get tired out so easily. But even Billy wants his coffee for breakfast and tea for dinner." "You don't mean to ay you give 4 year-old Billy tea and coffee?" An illumination- of many points about her neighbor's family came sud denly to Mrs. Newsom. She had al ways supposed the Olds children were delicate and obviously undernourish ed, because there were so many of them to liring up on a smal Isalary. Apparently, however, there had been a very grave blunder in the diet of the whole family, one which could have been avoided even with their lim ited income, because milk is one of the cheapest sources of nourishment ob. tainable. . "I wish you might have been with me yesterday," reniarked Mrs. New som. "I heard a talk about an exhibit prepared by some milk specialists in the Dairy Division of the United States Department of Agriculture. In fact, I brought home a picture which illustrated the lecture. I think it would interest you." She stepped in side the house for a moment, and then invited her neighbor to sit down while she explained. "The exhibit wvas of some white rats, and showed the practical results of research work done by nutrition s<ientists. The lecture explained that the condition of the rats illustrated the good effect of adding milk to an inadequate diet.

Those that did not have milk added to their diet had weak bones, because they lacked minerals, es pecially lime, which is so abundant in milk and alqo milk proteins, which are unexcelled for making firm, strong muscles. They also lacked vitaniines, the important food accessories so es sential to growth and health.

"The lecturer explained that the ex hibit was not an experiment, because the facts had already been proved by experimental evidence. It was mere ly a practical illustration. "Of course," went on Mrs. Newsom, "we know perfectly well that a baby will double its weight in six months on milk alone, and really we should not be surprised that these half grown rats have done the same when they had all the milk they wished. "The lecturer showed us the stuffed pelts, which were abeolutely lifelike, and the mounted skeletons. The'milk fed rats had firm, well-formed bones, because they got plenty of lime, where as the poor little undernourished ones had such frail skeletons that sonic of them'had to be exhibited in bottles in stead of being mounted." Mrs. Olds loooked very thoughtful. "I wonder," she said finally, "whether the small amount of milk the children have had would partly account for the easily broken bones in our family ? Three of the children have had frac tured arms or legs-and Ida's back seems so weak." "It seems probable, though one can't say positively, of course, Mrs. Olds. The lecturer yesterday con firmed my belief that milk is better for child's nerves systems than tea and coffee, which, as you know, are not foods at all, and which contain elements Uiat affect the nerves. It's a problem to break a food habit after a child once forms it, I know; that is why I have always avoided starting the tea and coffee libit." "I believe," said Mrs. Olds, "that the two youngest children might lis ten to me if I could tell them the story of the rats-and perhaps show them the picture."

Every boy or girl member of a poultry club should give them the best of at tention if success is to be had. The baby chicks may be smart little fel lows from strong, vigorous parent stock, and they may have been brood ed carefully for the first two or three weeks, but unless they receive proper care and management (luring their later growing period they will (ot de velop properly, and(] ma1y of them wil be lost through disease or sickness. The chief essentials to proper growth are good cOOps or houses, cleanliness, proper feed and water, shade, and free range. Every COOp and poultry house used for growing cicks should be kept clean at all times. Sickness or disease starts usually in unclean quarters, and in such places lice and mites are lWays more plentiful. Coops and houses should be cleaned an( sprayed once a -week, and clean shavings, chaff or sand put on the floor. Examine the chicks and houses often for lice and mites, and if found they should be got rid of at on1ce by following the directions in Department Circular 16, Lice, Mites, and Cleanliness, which may be had, free, up1)onl application to the Division of Publications, United States De)partment of Agriculture. A variety of feeds, with fresh, clean water, is necessary if chicks are to grow properly. Perhaps the three most necessary for rapid growth are grain feed, green fee]l, and dry mash. Poultry specialists of the department say that in addition to the green feed an(d dry mash, which should be pro vided regularly, a grain mixture should be fed nigh t andil mo()rnjing, giv ing as large a quantity as the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
