LIFE OF CHILD IN LIFE OFNow Is I he Time to Make Use of a Food Made Abundant by 1: Green Fields and Ripening Grain—No “Little One” •Should lie Stinted- of Its yilk Ration—Germany iSaves Her Children by Saving Her Milk for :Tlieir Use; SO MUST WE. SThe Food Administration desires to secure economv in the consumption of all kinds of meats .without the reinstating of the Meatless Day. There is now an abundance of milk products which can well be substituted in various forms for meat.If less milk is used, less milk will be produced. Farmers will be obliged to sell their dairy cattle because of the high cost of reeding them, and the failure to find a market for the product, and this country will face the same conditions from which the people of Europe are now suffering. Milk is a cheap animal food. There is at the present time a surplus of both cheese and butter. If these are not used an important outlet for surplus milk has been removed and milk production will diminish.Where possible, provision should be made to supply each child In the family with a quart of clean, wholesome milk a day. For each adult a pint is desirable when the meat consumption is low. Children should have whole milk, ad Cits may use milk and cheese in place of meat. The present prices, of butter have made many families refrain from using it. Those- who arc able to purchase it • should do so. Unless all members of the family are using whole milk, they need some butter in the diet. If the family must econo-imize, the amount of butter may be reduced, but the amount of imilk should be correspondingly increased to secure the right total of the fat of soluble growth-promoting substances. The use of butter and cheese should be encouraged since the storage of milk in these‘forms is an important method of conserving an unmarketable surplus of this food. E. A. FEDEX,. .Federal Food Administrator for Texas.
