Tells Parents of the Value of Milk bow
for Children; The Cleanliness
Commandments
for
!
I
Last Monday afternoon Miss Conn- j
tryman. who is giving this county a
demonstration of public health nuts- tor
ing, addressed the parents ai the iiigh! ,,ie
school building. While the subject 4
covered was on general health, much thy
emphasis was placed on the va,ue of ; 8°
milk for the underweight child. The hut
nurse gtated that many of the children !
have been found to be from seven to
ten per cent underweight and some '
even more. .Most of these children are j
non-users of milk. Nearly all of the
rural children have plenty of milk in
their homes but few are encouraged to the
use it and even in a few instances very
unusual answers leave been given in 5.
the way milk was disposed of in the
home. The farmer has long known 6
the reason of the proper feeding of
his stock, if he hoped to produce those j 7.
of marketable value. He appreciates i
the value of milk for his calves and ) 8.
pigs, but he not always realized that I
the priceless product of his farm are I 9.
bis children and that they are the j
greatest contribution to the nation's ; 10.
Careful study of communities have J
shown that the children in the rural of
wealth.
districts have more physical defects |
and are more under nourished than
the city children, and that those of
the farms drink less milk on the
average than the children in the cities. | ln
Give the children plenty of jnilk and]
watch them grow and they will gain-..
I
in weight.
Milk supplies the building matciial
for the bones, teeth and muscles, it
keeps the heart beating regularly, it
strengthens the nerves and other parts !
of the body. It has the force that,
makes weak bodies grow luto strong
and healthy ones.
No other food contains as much of
the various growing imperials needed

milk a day because it is so easily built

. might take the place of some meat.
The food value is the same whether i
taken in cooked foods or as « bevc -

Tea and coffee have no food value
and they are harmful and they are
harmful to growing children because
they dull the appetite .«o thut tl <> nec

Milk is health insurance; health In
surance is good life insurance.
Milk is the most nutritious as well
as the most economical of all foods.
Miss Countryman encouragea the
health crusade in every school. One
of the advantages is thut it tea« hes
the children to drink milk and leave
tea and coffee alone. Other reasons

fertunately no one was injured or no

when starting the team near Ather

ed that the off horse had slipped his
bridle. The horse also made the dis
covery that there were "no strings on
him" and he stained out to take in the
town. Mr. Lester was perched on the
high seat of a grain rack see-sawing
the lines on the other horse, but the
