U.S. DEPT. OF U.S. FOOD AGRICULTURE ADMINISTRATION MILK The Best Food We Have GIVE YOUR CHILDREN MILK A QUART a day for every child, if possible, a pint with- out fail. Plenty of milk will help give all your children, big and little, the chance for health they ought to have. Buy more milk and less meat and your family will be better fed. MILK HELPS YOUR CHILDREN TO GROW. Besides well-known food substances it has something special which they must have to grow. Your children can get a little of this from other foods, but not enough. Give your boys and girls milk for their chance to grow. MILK HELPS YOUR CHILDREN TO KEEP WELL. Look at children who do not get milk, but get tea and coffee instead. Aren't most of them pale and sickly? There are always very many sick children in cities and in countries where milk is scarce. When milk prices go up and mothers begin to economize on milk more children become sick. Do not let your children run this risk. Give them fresh, clean milk and help them to grow up strong and well and win in their fight against disease. Save on other things if you must, but not on milk, your child's best food.
