MILK ALL KSKKNTIAL IN THE

Iljr Kdlth Knight' Hill.
In a lan;e number of the schools
of the state of Oregon the milk sur
vey has been made.; That is, the
.children have bee asked how many
get no milk; how many get a cup
, and how many receive a pint or over
in their daily diet. To those who
know the real food value and the
essential qualities of dairy product.

"THE GYPSY
TRAIL"
the answer have been alarming. Or.
rather they would be alarming if
it were not for the tact that the parent-teachers
associations are doing
the follow-up work by having pro
prams that call attention to the fact
that milk is nature's best food.
There are no substitute for dairy
products. Remember that. Nothing
can tak its place. Kver"y growing
child absolutely needs milk and its
products and so does every adult who
would keep in -pood physical con
dition. In a wide survey there are two
answers given by the parents of chil
dren who do not pet milk in the
diet. One is "the price.-' the other,
"the child does not like milk." In
answer to the first. I would say:
Milk is not as high as most articles
of, food and not nearly su high as
others n proportion to its value in
food content, nourishment and lime
that repairs the bones and keeps
the teeth in condition. When we
think of the high price the farmer
had to pay for feed, for wages, for
milk cans, for everything that he
ues on the farm or dairy; when we
think of the expensive delivery sys
tem in the city where every bottle
even at carload rate costs nearly 9
cents, afid the smalleY bottles 6
cents; where auto trucks must be J
bought and kept in order and rnn

and when c consider that it la very!
expensive to deliver to our doors
the clean, pure milk, we cannot
wonder that it costs. Hesides. in
order to fret icood milk in the first
place a vatt amount of money must
be invented in high grade dairy cat
tle and property and equipment. And
the dairyman deserves to live, lie
certainly works hard. Many of you
have heard that a quart of milk Is
equal to eisht epK in food value.
This is true Now. pause for a mo
ment and consider what eight egss
cost. Compare the price with that
of a quart of milk and what is the
answer?
lo you remember , what we paid
for a broom a few years a so Itrnoms
have tone up far more than milk in
Comparison. So have shoes and
coats and wascs and rents and so;
has candy and ever ik many other
articles, and yet we buy these. Rut i
milk coos up a cent a quart and we
say. "Let's stop taking milk." Mv
iriends. before you lake a atep of
that kind, consider these facts:
Milk is nature's best food. It is
essential tr proper growth. It as
sures dimpling smiles and rosy
cheeks and robust health. Kvery
child should have at leapt a pint a
day. In runic Oregon schools we
find that about one-third of the
children are getting no milk. Their
parents should realize that this is
serious. There is in the butterfat
vital that is good for the eyesight.
This may sound silly but it is true.
Experiments covering a period of
many years have been made and they
have demonstrated the fact that
without this element blindness may
ensue. There's I me for bone an, I
teeth, iron for the blood, sugar of
milk, the finest sugar in the world,
and there are other ingredients all
necessary to the upkeep of the sys
tem. All are found in milk perfectly
proportioned and blended by the,
great artist band of naturo You i
cannot afford to give the child milk j
yon sar. I tell you you cannot af-l
ford NOT lo give the child milK.j
Cut down on some other things, but j
I beg of you to give the family milk.
I like the story of the little girl
who heard her teacher lecture on
the vital value of molk. The child
said: "Teacher, we don't lake any
milk. Pa and Ma havew little rram
1n thfir coltee. but we don't lake any
milk." She was a thin, sallow-looking
child. In a few days she came
back to school beaming with happi
ness. "Teacher. he said. "I told
the folks about milk and we are tak
ing two quarts now. And. teacher,
lather is awful glad you told m
that, lie drinks one quart, and us
nine children and Ma get the other
quart." Well. father knew what
was good, anyway.
I wish I could get the price of milk
down lower for all of those who ob
ject to its height, bnt If that came
down under present conditions the
dairymen couldn't afford to reed th
cows and they'd have to kfll some
of them off and after a while there
would be, a shortage, and up wonld
go prices worse than ever.
For those who say the children
don't like milk. I would say: Haven t
they heard their elders ay it. and
aren't thev imitating them? Tut a
couple of drops of vanila and a tea
spoon of sugar in the milk and let
the child drink it through a straw
an'd the novelty will fascinate him.
Or, make some cocoa. On a cold
day a cap of hot miik with a little
cocoa and sugar will be Just the
thing after "school. A cheese sand
wich will Iks good for th- boys and
girls, and let them have real butter.
Some mothers ask me If I aoprov
of so-called substitutes for butler.
I do not. They certainly are clecer
ly blended but they aren't butter and
they have not its value. Kat those
tat. alluring oil and grease blends
It you insist, bat don't give them to
the growing child. I know a woman
who gives her children many a dime
to spend on gum. candy and pickles,
but says she can't afford milk and
butter. And you should see the
blotchy skins and scrawny appear
ance of these children.
I want every mother to think
deeply on this subject See that
ouc uiilk man gives you good, rich
milk. If he doesn't, get after him.
If the dairy is dirty, report him in
the inspector, the health bureau or
the dairy and food commissioner. I
am a friend of the dairy man and j
realize that he is an important fac
tor in the standard health of the
com in u ii ii ana ur miuuiu i ,
co-operation, but if he Isn't up to!
standard himself, he needs rousing
Insist on good, fresh butter. ivnl
take any makebclieve or bad butter.
Get good cheese when you buy U.
Wonderfully fine cheese Is made In
Tillamook and In Coos and Curry
counties in this state. No need to
tell you to feed the children ice
cream. It is valuable food, as well
as a favorite desert. It you have
sour milk, make some gingerbread
or biscuits with It. Cottage cheese
makes nourishing and popular dish
also. SkiuiAmilk can be used to ad
vantage In cooking and in cocoa or
chocolate, and if bread and butler
are served with it, the essential but
terfat Is supplied. Rut as a drink
the whole milk Is. of course, the
best.
1 have been giviog milk talks in
school rooms and have asked all
who do not use milk to raise their
hand, and Invariably have found
the brighter children drink milk. It
Is alarming lo note how many young
sters are getting coffee three times
a day. They should be receiving
milk. I have no quarrel with the
coffee man. but I want the children J
lo drink nature's best food. Milk j
Is a food, remember. w nen we
take It we should sip It slowly and
then we shall get be! value. Jnsl
for curiosity, ask the teacher to no
tice how your child gets alone If you
start him oa milk now. If yon haVe
no children and have some cash you
can spare, find some poor little child
and send it a quart or milk a day.
You'll be getting big returns whea
you pay the bill and realize that you
are building humanity and are help-
ins to asMire health and stmigt
one of Cod's little one.
Some teachers' asMx iations h
set aside itMl to um in supplying
milk for under-nourished rlnldrtn.
Do you realize that one out of leu
little ones die of inal nutrition anil
that the lark of milk is the cause of
most of ih under-noiirtliincnt.

asking you lo consider this from iny
self-intereslcd motive, excel that I
want Oregon to be known far and
wide as a stale wherein the people
are healthy a'nd happy. If we eat
the rlcht lood and think good
thoughts we are pretty apt to do
?od deeds and to lrf successful.
It's give this milk question our
copsideralion. I0 you know that
$2.10.000.000 are Invested in th'a
stale In dairies, creameries, cheese
factories, cows and other things per
taining to the dairy industry, and
that Oregon is beginning to be
known as a great dairy stale. Peo
ple are awakening to the importance
of Madam Cow.
