Because Portland and Seattle ship builders make a scramble for tbe milk bottles when the noon whistle blows they are becoming famous and to ths fact that they drink milk la attributed their ability to do better work than any other shipbuilders. Now comes San Francisco showing she, too, has taken up the habit. The Pacific Dairy Review says “ one dis tributer alone supplies 1,500 quarts dally to men in the Union Iron Works,“ although, the review adds, “ in San Francisco, the milk-drinking hsbit Is still In Its Infancy.” H ere’s another argument for keeping up the dairy herds. The milk bottle Is backing the beer can o ff the map. Tim e was when the men of the Iron works would havs "rushed the can” as they termed getting their beer. • • e • "Ths food value of a quart of milk 1s the equivalent of three fourths of a pound of beef, two pounds of chicken or eight eggs. Compare the costs and milk wins.” Dr. E. V. McCullom of John Hopkins University who visited Oregon not long ago made this state ment. He adds “ For the sake of your family's health, and for the reduction of your living expenses, use mors dairy products, and then some more.” “ The restricted use of milk would mean a serious loss of energy, end a serious menace to the winning of the war” says U. A. Morgan In Hoard's Dairyman. s e e s Shoes have gone up In price but we buy them. They are a necessity. Yet milk, the food that la necessary to everyone, because It goes up.
