Consumption of Dairy Products In United States Shows Big Increase DECREASE IN USE OF CEREAL FOODS 1S CORRESPONDING Dairy Industry Has Been Least Affected by Recent Busi- ness Depression HAS .ADVERTISED WIDELY Modern Methods of Preparing Milk and Dairy Products Insures Cleanliness By FREDERIC J. HASKIN Washington, D. C., Feb. 9—A change in the taste of the American people witch, in the last 30 years has caused them to turn from bread to dairy products is largely responsi- ble for the fact that the dairy indus- try has been least affected by the de- pression and presents a sharp con- trast to other groups of farmers seek- ing relief. During this period Americans have reduced their annual per capita con- suinption of grain products by the equivalent of 50 loaves of bread. Con- currently, they have increased their annual per capita consumption of dairy products by 150 pounds in terms of milk, ‘This wouid appear to indicate that consumption is the key to farm pros- | perity and eloquently recalls the or- | ganized efforts which dairymen have made to popularize their produets. The broad economic results which hhave accrued, affecting the entire structure of agriculture, would ap- Pear to suggest that it pays to ad- vertise. Three billion dollars a year or one- fourth of the total annual income of the entire farm industry, including the growers of the grain staples, the livestock producers, the fruit and vegetable men, and all other branches of the agricultural industry is realized by the dairymen of the United States. ‘This is, by way ct’ illustration, con- siderably more than twice what is realized annually by cotton planters, While agriculture generally is recognized to have suffered more sharply than any other great divi- ston of American productive effort from the depressed period, the dairy industry not only stands out conspic- uously from the farm class but makes a far better showing than most other industries. In fact it seems to have resisted, better than almost any oth- er industry, the forces of business re- coil. It is axiomatic that a man thinks more of his health, once it is threat- ened, than of any other possession he has. Everyone is familiar with the oft-taught lesson of the middle- | aged millionaire who is willing to trade his millions back if, by doing so, he may recover his vigor. And, too, every normal American parent is extremely solicitous for the health of | growing children, especially infants. Good Publicity Pays Recognizing these basic social facts, | the dairymen of the United States have widely publicized the generous vitamin content of milk and its} health-giving qualities. Moreover, they have emphasized the measures they have taken to insure the purity of their product. It must not, however, be overlooked, that the public itself pushed the dairymen into their advantageous Position and swung open for them the gateway io their present coign of business stability, Before the days of the modern dairy, the people of the cities were served by small, independent milk-} men. These men were conspicuous for their early rising and, it was claimed, careless and dirty methods of handling their product. Only the younger generation will have forgot- ten the milkman who came to the door with his large metal can and dipper. The milk was dipped out | from the can reservoir in the quan- tity the housewife bespoke. The can went in and out of both clean and upkempt kitchens indiscriminately while the dipper came into contact with home receptacles of varying de- grees of cleanliness. Physicians began to trace all man- ner of illnesses to milk. Scientists began finding innumerable germs ig themselves in the fluid. Individuals and societies com- menced investigations. They found the most appalling conditions in the barns of the milkmen. The milkmen in general had never heard of sani- tation. A cow was an animal and raturally dirty and that was all there was to it. Then, too, it was not unheard of for ambitious milkmen to enlist the aid of the barnyard pump or the water tap in adding to their vendable supplies. Publicity resulted and public health officials became interested. The re- sult was one of the most sweeping reforms in public service which has ever taken place in the history of the country. Inspection systems were set up by city governments and dair- ies which did not maintain a high Gegree of sanitation on their premises and in their equipment were refused Permits to sell. Also, dealers were re- quired to submit their product to public chemists for analysis for a aetermination of the purity and Proper eld content.

Why did the Silent Menace order Pearl to be taken to the Frozen Shin in the great ice pack on the coast of the Lost Continent?” “We'll keep our eyes peeled for the Frozen Ship,” I said. “Some- how, I've got the notion that the Waltus knows something about it. And there’s another thing, Bert! Why did the Walrus take off with Pearl, Mrs. Richards and Thornton? Did he fly on with them to the Zep, and he is on the Zeppelin now?” “He's either on the Queen of the Skies or else they dumped him at Nome or he dumped himsclf there for his own mysterious reasons. I'm dead sorry we didn't learn some- thing about this Walrus. He knows more than a thing or two about what's going on against you and Pearl, though he might not really know why.” The Walrus Decides To Stow Away! “I'm just as sorry about that as you are,” I said, thoughtfully. “I'm convinced the Walrus is a link in the Silent Menace’s chain, although this doesn’t sound exactly logical since he saved my life down in the Aleutian Islands.’ Our stabilizer had twitched queer- | ly and for a few dizzy seconds we went lopsided. “What's that?” from Bert, Narre “Darned if I know j felt a change in the bey! “It must be those dogs moving around.” i I had forgotten to mention the dogs.
