One of the Cheapest And Best Foods Campaigns to encourage the consumption of milk will, of course, benefit the dairy farmers of the nation but a far greater benefit will come to the public as a whole, and particularly to growing grow-ing children.

It is one of the cheapest foods and likewise one of the most necessary.
