Riverside Drive : Phone 180 On February 11 of this year the annual American Berkshire sale was held at Aledo, 111., to which all the ; leading breeders of Berkshires ship | their bred sows and gilts to-be sold | to the highest bidder. H. T. Roberts, owner of the Pomeroy Farms, Inc., at Barrington, 111., I trucked two pigs to the sale and was! represented by his farm manager, A. G. Schillo, a former resident of Pis- j takee Bay, and herdsman, Bill Dorf. | There were forty-one sales made,' ranging from $75 to $680, the latter sale being made by the Pomeroy Farm, and was purchased by Broadview Farm, Yutan, Neb. This bred sow was the winner as a Senior gilt at the 1938 National Swine Show and was undefeated in 1938, having been" adjudged the best gilt at nine of the leading state fairs in that many cities in the United States. I The above sale and price has es-' tablished an all high record for the year of '39, and as the important sales are all. over, there is no doubt in the opinion of the leaders in the hog business that this record will stand for some time to come, if not for a good many years. A1 Schillo has been instructed by Mr. Roberts to raise hogs and more hogs as he wishes to be the leader in Berkshires, and it is evident that Mr. Roberts is getting the job done, inasmuch as his herd won thrity-three grand championships, together with seventy-two firsts and 108 other prize premiums in his showing of 1938. I . Vitamins In Food For Beauty J Vitality resulting from the proper diet is a requisite of beauty. pvO you want to Improve your complexion, add lustre to your hair, be bright-eyed and strengthen your fingernails? One answer is, include in your diet the vitamins and minerals provided by dairy products, in the opinion of the National Dairy (Jouncil. "Vitality and vitamins seem to go together," says the Council, which emphasizes the health and beauty assets of milk, butter, cheese and ice cream. "Science has discovered that part of thtf magic of milk and its products lies in their importance as sources of calcium and phosphorus which build firm, strong bones and teeth. Calcium also serves as a beautifier by helping to make the body a smooth running, efficient machine. "Vitamins provide their own particular kind of beauty treatment. And milk and other dairy products are rich sources of vitamins so important for this purpose. "Experiments by the Federal Bureau of Home Economics indicate that people who live on a diet deficient in vitamin A are subject to night blindness. Milk supplies this vitamin in large amounts. Vitamin A is necessary to the health and vigor of all tissues of the body. . Milk and dairy products rich in vitamin A therefore contribute to the freshness and life of skin and scalp. "Also in milk are vitamins B and G. Vitamin B control^ the appetite and afreets the digestion of food!. Vitamin B, therefore, is a most important indirect influence in pfthducing a clear, healthy skin. "Vitamin G has its effect on th*-/.' preservation of the characteristics of youth through its influence on the nerves and digestion and Its resistance-building qualities. Dairy products are acknowledged jto bis one of the best of the 'protective foods'."
