Because Portland and Seattle ship builders make a scramble for the milk bottles when the noon whistle blows they are becoming famous and to the fact that they drink milk is 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 quarta . dally to men in the Union Iron Works," although, the review adds, "in San Francisco, the milk-drinking habit Is still in its infancy." Here's another argument for keeping up the dairy herds. The milk bottle Is backing the beer can off the map. Time was when the men of the Iron works would have "rushed the can" as they termed Betting their beer. "The food value of a quart of mlllt Is the equivalent of three fourths of a pound of beef, two pounds of chicken or eight eggs. Compare the costB and milk wins." Dr. E. V. McCullom of j 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 j of your living expenses, uae more dairy ' Products, and then, some more."

A. baa been cleared up by the War Depart ment, which Issued the following: "Matter of prices asked by Young Men's Christian Association for its articles sold in canteens overseas al ready Investigated by war department and condition Is beingiremedied. The Young Men's Christian Association was originally asked by General PerBhing to run the canteens for the army on a cost basis. In order to do this it had to reckon in price fixing such overhead charges as transporta tion charges and marine insurance so that prices were much higher than in thfs country. "The Young Men's Christian Asso ciation made no profits, but lost thou sands of dollars. Arrangements now made will enable them to obtain sup plies from sources that will reduce overhead charges and keep prices down." .

PERSHING'S "DO WITHOUT IT" CLUB8 Organization of "do without it" clubs in America, as a means of aiding the United War Work campaign, which open November 11, was recommended by Jamea F. PerBhing, brother of Genem! Pershing, in an address delivered recently In Portland in behalf of the drive. Ho urged the American people to make some sacrifices in order to help "carry on" the great undertaking that is to furnish money for war work In the battle zone during the coming year. A great percent age of American people, he said, do not know, from any sacrifices made thus far, that a war Is in progress. Relaxation of activi ties because of peace proposals, he declared, should not be toler ated, and asked people of the country to throw their whole energy and co-operation behind this latest drive for securing funds for the seven big war working agencies consolidated in J.he campaign.
