MILK AS STRENGTH
BUILDER ADVOCATED
Or. Mae Cardwell, Back From
Washington, Advises '0
Housewives.
Dr. Mae H. Cardwell. of Portland,
lrko recently returned to Oregon from
lary. tnd.. New York and Washington,
where ahe was engaged tn medical re
ward work for the Children'! Bureau
of the Department of Lahor, said In
an Interview: "The dairy Industries
must be encouraged. The children of
America must have milk. They can
not thrive without good clean milk.
Housewives must use more milk. IT
they demand it the dairyman will find
some solution to his problems and will
see that his rows get the feed and that
tie keeps them alive and In good
health. However, lr the women dont
order the milk, the dairyman isn't go
ing to keep his cows around Just as
!ets and ornaments. Feed ts too
scarce and labor too high for that. It's
up to the housekeepers.
"Are you sending your breadwinners
to work with all the vigor and strength
you ran muster for them In the way of
proper food T" asks Dr. Cardwell. "If
they don't get the right food they can't
think or work well. The same applies
to the school children. 8ee that they
have milk to drink; milk In puddings. !
Yhe kitchen Is (he power plant of the
family and consequently, of the nation. I
Don't waste a drop of milk or an
ounce of butter, but use plenty. The
health of the nation Is the kitchen
question. Milk Is one of the main
.actors in a diet."
Baby Expert Preachee Greater Use
Of Milk.
A milk bill and healthy children Is
cheaper than a doctor's bill and an
underfed, undernourished child. It
would be rheaper to start right. So
says Mrs. A. Bayley, of the Parents'
rilucRtioniil Bureau, Oregon Conrress
of Mothers, who has presided at the
testing of thousands of babies. She
finds the milkfed youngster of three
or four years scores much higher than
the child who has hud little milk In
BABIES MUST HAVE MILK
"You get more calories to the
penny from milk than from any
other food even at the present
price," said Dr. K. 3. I-alibe,
specialist, who returned recent
ly from Europe and who spoke
at the Stat Fair and at other
patriotic gatherings. Dr. I.abbe
told of the children he treated

and Belgian refugees were waa
and weak and almost lifeless.
A milk dlst soon brought good
results and the babes thrived.
"But," said Dr. Labbe, "they
will never entirely shake off
the marks made by the months
in which they were starved for
milk. Children must have milk
If the race Is to go on. It la
every man's and every woman's
duty to do all In his power to

must co-operate. The babies of
the world must be saved."

Milk may be used not only as an
addition to an already rich diet, but
in place of some of the slowly digested
dishes which over tax the digestive
organs and Impair the health. Milk
contains all the elements necessary
to sustain life and build up the body.
It must be remembered too, that butter
Is a food for all, for rich and poor, for
old and young. Cottage cheese la
another dairy product that Is of great
food value.

Dairy Commissioner Sees Encouraging
Signs.
J. D Mickle, State Dairy and Food
Commissioner, stated recently that the
dairy situation, in spite of high prices
of feed and scarcity of labor, is not all
gloom. Reports have come to him
from various parts of the state show
ing that the housekeepers are begin
ning to see that they must pay more
for milk than they did a few years ago.
The dairymen are beginning to take
heart, too. In some instances and are
looking to the future when the cow
of today will be worth much more
money alive than she would now,
slaughtered. And that future Isn't so
far off If the dairymen only continue
to have courage and patience.
The wise man and the one who Is
far-seeing, is keeping his herds Intact
True, he won't keep the old boarder
who would just eat the food and bring
no returns, but he Is holding his good
stock. The sensible housewife, too,
must know a man can't feed snd care
for cows, keep a first class dairy, and
provide clean bottles and well paid
dellverymen without some expense.
The Oregon Dairy Council Is doing
much to get the situation straightened
out. The exhibit at the state fair, the
splendid cooperation of the Food Ad
ministration, the pubile schools, Ore
gon Agricultural College and the Bu
reau of Health, all help the educational
work and are part of the great task of
"keeping the home flree burning,"
which task includes the preservation
of essential home industries and the
health of the nation.
A farmer may slaughter his dairy
herd in three hours but be could not
replace it in three years.
It must be very discouraging to
ask for an armistice and have the
only answer an army.
still In its Infancy." Here's another
argument for keeping up the dairy
herds. The milk bottle is hacking the
beer can off the map. Time was
when the men of the Iron works would
have "rushed the can" as they termed
getting their beer.
"The food value of a quart of milk
is the equivalent of three fourths of a
pound of beef, two pounds of chicken
or eight eggs. Compare the costs and
milk wins." Dr. K. V. McCullom of
John Hopkins University who visited
Oregon not long ago made this state
ment. He adds "Kor the sake of your
family's health, and for the reduction
of your living expenses, use more dairy
products, and then some more."
...
"The restricted use of milk would
mean a serious loss of energy, and a
serious menace to the winning of the
war" says O. A. Morgan iu Hoard's
Dairyman.
Shoes have gone up In price but
we buy them. They are a necessity.
Yet milk, the food that is neressary
to everyone, because It goes up, is too
often cut from the diet. Isn't that a
little Inconsistent?
We must have pure fresh mflk.
Count it economy to see that each
child In the family has at least a pint
of milk a day. Oct the milk habit.
Kncourage the dairymen to keep up
tils dairy. He is willing to do his share
but he can't do everything without cooperation.

"No matter what particular kind of
