Milk, The Common (Continued who supplies it. Fully two-thirds of Canada's milk supply is turned into cheese, butter or ice cream, is preserved in tins or fed to farm animals. And as we will tell in future issues there are unexpected and fascinating ways of using the parts of milk which remain after some of these products have been made. It's astonishing to most of us to realize just how many people, how much money and how many animals are involved in the many branches of this industry. At the end of 1943 in Canada, there were 3,900,000 dairy cows, which is approximately one cow for every three people! Think of the work necessary simply to grow the feed for all those cows, to harvest it, and serve it to them every day. It is true that the cows respond generously to good care and feeding. They are the most efficient machines the world knows for extracting nour- ishment from plants and transforming it into human food. When soil is good, grains and = grasses which spring from that soil are good, the cows which feed on these grains and grasses are good, and the products made from the milk are good, and the health of those who drink that milk and eat its products are good. Many workers are needed to keep this chain of "goodness" unbroken. In Canada there are 350,000 farmers and thousands of town and city workers engaged directly or indirectly in some part of the dairy industry. Nation- Food, But The Best from Page 1) ally , this industry is of immense value. First because the indispens- able foods which it produces and sec- ond because it is the means by which so many people earn their living. In 1943, 18 per cent of all the money paid to farmers for the many pro- ducts which they sell was paid to them for milk -- it amounted to near- ly two hundred and fifty million dol- lars! And one of the most interesting things you will find about the whole subject is that new discoveries are be- ing made all the time, by the men and women who work with these products. They find out more and more about their food value and even discover ways to increase it. They experi ment with methods for increasing and improving production, they check constantly on sanitary practices and other measures for safeguarding the foods. They work out recipes and directions for using the products and share their results with everyone. They delve deeper and deeper into the mystery of science and create a myriad of useful products which bear no possible resemblance to the basic milk from which they were derived. There's more milk produced in Canada than there ever was before-- but we're sharing more and more of it with the people of other countries. It is particularly important that every drop of this precious creamy- white liquid is used as efficiently as thoughtful Canadians can use it--and that not one drop is wasted.

'calories than he expends in energy, "If we could find a way to treat obesity satisfactorily it would be a fundamental advance in medical 'treatment," he said. Dr. Farquharson emphasized that 'the cause of overweight is eating more than the body needs for its daily t "Body weight depends on the intake and expenditure of energy,' he "If a person takes in more that person will put on weight. There is no exception to that. It holds in all cases." Individuals vary in the metabolic rate by which they convert food into energy. Two persons of the same age, doing work requiring equal dis- 'charge of energy, might not show the same results if placed on the same diet. One might gain weight, the other lose. It is difficult to reduce weight because the vital need in a re- _ ducing program is self-discipline, said Dr. F. Farquharson, who confessed that he himself was somewhat over- weight. "To lose one pound in weight, a patient must expend 3,500 calories more than he takes in," Dr. Farqu- harson said. "If a patient is placed on a 1,500 calories diet and expends 2,500 calories daily at a sendentary occupation he will lose two pounds a week. But he feels he should lose 10 to 15 pounds. His dividends, he feels, are out of proportion to his sacrifice. "T often tell a patient at the begin- ning that I don't think he has enough strength of character to reduce weight. I do that to stiffen his deter- mination. I know how hard it is." Where To Go For It BAKERS T. V.B. BREAD CO. : A. H. Zurbrigg 56 Huron St. Phone 2345 = BOOTS and SHOES LINCOLN SHOE STORES Ltd.

OVER FIFTY YEARS STRATFORD CHIT CHAT (Continued from Page 1) 'Doing a Good Job" In recognition of 25 years of fine service for Tucketts Limited, the firm presented Mr. E. J. West, 200 Douglas street, with a sterling tray last week. Mr. West has become a well-known figure throughout the district which his work occasions him to travel ex- tensively. Eight other presentations were made to.members of the com- pany with quarter-century records, and all were entertained royally, a trip to Niagara Falls being arranged especially for their enjoyment. Mr. West's early connections with his business were accidental, for he was trained as a telegrapher. When he took on 'the job he had been in military hospital following the last war and was told he "wouldn't last two months" with a strenuous travel- ling occupation. Considering last week's presentation, they made a slight error in judgment to say the least and we hope to see Mr. West en- joy many more years of continued success. : Mr. and Mrs. West have two sons in uniform, Edward in the army, John in the navy, a son Herbert and daugh- ter Betty at home. * * * "On Vacation" Mrs. Robert Harvey, 50 Gore Bt., west, is spending a week vacationing with friends in Detroit. Holidaying with Mrs. R. G. Ham- mond, 273 Cambria street, is her sis- ter, Miss Mary Keffer, of Toronto. Chief E.R.A. Kenneth Oliver is on leave at his parents' home, 112 Mowat street. Ken has a 42-day furlough. Amateur Paper Hanging Tools And Equipment The novice paperhanger does not ordinarily go to the expense of pur- chasing equipment such as the pro- fessional craftsman finds essential to his trade. Excellent results may be obtained by those who have gone to small expense in the matter of equip- ment by utilizing utensils and tools to be found in every home. After all, it is the care in pasting and the applica- tion of the paper to the wall that is of chief importance. Splendid results can be had with the following equip- ment: A wide putty knife or wall-scraper for removing the old paper and filling nail holes and cracks. A pair of shears or large scissors. A straight-edge and trimming knife, or wheel, is preferable for trimming off the selvedges, but a pair of shears can be used for this purpose. If "semi-trimmed" papers are chosen, no trimming tools will be required as the paper comes trimmed ready to hang. A paste or kalsomine brush and pail. A smoothing brush or whisk. A seam roller. (A clean furniture caster may be substituted in an emer- gency). A chalk line and plumb. A yardstick or ruler, Two light weight boards each 12 inches wide and about 6 or 7 feet long, placed on trestles for pasting the paper, or a kitchen table would an- swer the purpose. A step-ladder, a wide strong plank and a box or barrel to form a scaffold with step-ladder, so that the ceiling can be conveniently reached. ""She's The Best Girl In The World!?"

Now The Kinsmen Club of Stratford give you an opportunity to have a share in this great need. For lack of milk British children are under- . nourished. More milk is urgently needed. The Kinsmen throughout Canada are deter- mined to maintain the supply of milk to British children. Next week when your milkman leaves an en- velope, put in it as many dimes as you can spare. Ten cents gives six children each a glass of milk. g the Kinsmen Club Read The Mirror 'Ads'. _ of Stratford
