City 'Man's Cônvincing Argumen-ts had soelUIs Faeor. y have been reading wîth consider- able 'pleasure your articles,, Mr. Edîtor, on milk as a diet, and having had eineexperience la the use of milk myseif I am goinig to inflict' sorne experience upon you as fol- lows: 1 arn a salary mian, living ia a city of over tweaty thousand. The- first 33 years of if e were speat on a farm, so if my opinions and manners still smack of the green grass, cows, and chickens, it is because the two years and a haîf whicis I have spent ia town have not been sufficlent to entîrely oblitemate what was years in developiag. It can also be readily seen that te a person la sucis a posi- tion, thse high cost of living is a very real problein iindeed. Siace com-ing to lîve la town, 1 have taken conisidemaple interest and not a little, amusemeut la listenfing to my fellow-townsmen discussing farmn problems, particulary thse prices cf farmn produce. Not beîng of a par- ticularly argumeatative tura cf mmnd, I have usually been content to listen rather than debate these ques- tions. This, however, has net pre- vented me from mirakiisg a f ew obser- vations on my own account. If there is one article cf farm pro- duce, the price-of which, cornes la for more than it's share cf complaint, it is milk., This, 1 believe, has res-uit- ed la the fact that many familles are stinting themselves on this necessary f ood. One of the observations which 1 have made is the 'slow development cf child Hf e, and thse number cf puny and apparently undemfed children, even la good homes, where there was ne scarcity cf general food, and ne lack cf the wherewithal te, purchase sanie. Let mie illustrate: Between my boite and my place of business, I pass thse home of theise'. They have two children and have been quite concermned regarding their slow de- velepemeat. 1 cannot give exact de- tala as I do net specialize la other people's business. I do well kniow, however, that one of these children had long passed the age at whAic-h children usually comimence to talk but stili shewed ne inclination to do so. Another child gcaused consider- able worryoa account cf the non- appearance ef its teeth. Fiaally, a doctor was called. He, said the eilîdren were suffering from a lack of minerl matter la their systems and advised the parents to take the marrew eut cf benes and cook it for thern te eat. 1 have ne reason te dîsagree with eitier the diagnosis or thse treatrnt but 1 go past the "L'a" home foulr times a day whea la townanad have fnèver yet seen more than a, plat hottle'cf milk on- their doorstep.
