SS, SEO om an © z VOLUME NO. 20,000 “MEAT OR MILK?” RODUCERS and distributers of milk in the State of New York continue to force upon the public this sinister alternative: Either buy milk at present high prices or prepare to see mileh cows killed for beef. | Think what this means. It is not « question of silk petticoats or Malacca walking sticks. It is not even a question of potatoes, cabbages, corn or other ommon article of food which can be replaced by something else. Milk forms an important item in the daily diet of people of all ages. It nourishes the sick when nothing else will serve. But for babies and growing children—that is to say, for all normal! human beings at the most critical period of their physical development—it is indispensable. If milk is put beyond the reach of any considerable number of households in the United States, if there is a decrease in the quantity of milk parents generally can afford to let their children consume, then prepare for weakened American youth in this gen- eration, with God knows what worse to come. Will Americans for one instant admit such a possibility? Will a great, intelligent community like the City of New York | confess that neither it nor the Commonwealth of which it is a part has power or ingenuity enough to tackle the milk problem: and save that child-health which is potentially the nation’s health from an industrial situation which menaces it? ‘Then New York will have to do things and do them quickly. It will have to demand more than patient probings from milk investigation boards—of which there will be five when the new State Food Commission gets started. Push on to what's to be done. | For instance: Between the 6.6 cents a quart which the farmer, | urging the high cost of fodder and labor, says he must get for pro-| ducing milk—between this 6.6 cents and the 14 cents which the | ference of 7.4 cents per quart which | Is that the lowest cost at which a quart of milk can be brought | from farm to city consumer? The milk dealer says less would mean his ruin. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done for less—by methods he’s never thought it to his interest to employ, by co-operation it has never been his policy to seek. Take the distribution of milk as New Yorkers see it: No one believes the present toy milk wagons, carrying only 250 quarts each, cover the routes as economically as they could be covered. Nor are distributing centres in New York well placed. Let the city get down to ways and means by providing, for example, that the ample track facilities on, under and above its main thoroughfares shall be used to aid in the distribution of milk during night hours when passenger traffic almost ceases, INSIST upon efficiency and co-operation to reduce the ex- penses of handling milk. : The way to bring down milk prices is to give concrete proof that they CAN be brought down. If dealers deny it, then City and State must be ready to enforce practical demonstrations that shall convince and compel, In the economic history of the Commonwealth there has been nothing so preposterous as this warning from the milk trade that unless it is permitted to adjust all difficulties and make good all losses at the expense of consumers it must slaughter its herds for beef and leave babies to starve or sicken on strange diets. + It begins to look as if few of us could afford to have incomes. . a _ Hits From Sharp Wits Half the world does not know People who would make a notse in where the other half spends its/|ife might remember that a limited express |s leas noley than @ freighter, ‘Milwaukee N ‘4 we .

N a previqus article 1 have told of the many letters that come to me Which eet forth the causes that make or mar the happiness of the previous marriage, having selec three of the most common variety of each to set forth in these columns, The first article summed up the problem of the couple who bur- Gened each other too much with detatls of each other's work to the point where they got on each other's nerves. Their happiness was broken by everlasting grievances that each would heap on the other, ‘The second article treated of the “outside influence.” Many couples drift apart because they live up to the expectations of what somebody else will think, instead of making their own decisions and living their own lives. In thie writing I have tn couple separated because of “other party”—the third angle ia th well known marriage triangle—one of the common varietion In this case the couple were mar- ried very young. They were both ambitious and sought to climb the ladder of success together, The youns woman had been woll reared and was an excellent housekeeper. She skimped and saved to help her hueband tn Bis business growing pains. They were both very happy those days when cach was doing his part and here to the advantage of the partnership. ‘Then a couple of children enme and both were devoted to them. Businoss prospered and pretty soon this couple found themselves on “Easy Street.” Many times they had looked forward to this day, When things wore shaped up the husband urged bis wife to get all the help she needed and come out and see something of the world, But she was “comfy and cosy” tn her love- ly new home and did not want any- thing more Now, the man’s business brought bim in contact with many prominent business men. And on occasions whon he wantod her to attend dinners witn some of his friends she would say: “You go; I would rather stay at home yhoes to somebody else, which he usu- ored custom, ; with the obildren.” In thie way he formed many new acquaintances, Other woinen sat next to bim at dinner, merry wit and up-to-date manner; their knowledge of the world’s work and their ability to discuss topics of the day.
