Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical association, asserts that when conditions now prevailing in centra! Europe become known it will be found that protein starvation is much more serious than vitamin deficiency because of the breakdown in human tissues. This, in turn, opens the way (o disease. The proteins of milk and its products are of the highest quality. Also, the bureau of agricultural economics of the U. S. department o:! agriculture states that milk and its products now furnish 40 per cent more protein for human nutrition than at the outbreak of the last Nutritional Foods Also Help To Maintain Efficiency Of Workers. By E. M. HARMON Director of Public Relations, National Dairy Council. When David prepared his armies to meet the hosts of Absalom, he provided them with cheese and butter to keep them fit. Even before that, dairy products were considered essential for the welfare of fighting forces. These are observations of War Food Administrator Marvin Jones, who states further that, Today milk and its products have gone to war once more, as they have through the ages. Never before in all that long history has milk gone to war on so many fronts and in so many different ways as now. It is dropped by parachutes in the remote jungles of the Pacific. It goes with our planes above the earth and with our submarines beneath the seas. It nourishes our soldiers on the beaches and in the deserts and in the mountains of all the continents between. With all the history of dairy products as food for fighting forces behind us, however, it is only in recent years that their real place has begun to be appreciated. For example, fresh fluid milk is in the United States army ration now for the first time since the Revolutionary war. Any comparison of the rations of Americas fighting forces in World war I with those of today shows a tremendous increase in the appreciation for dairy products. When all of the dairy products in the garrison ration in World war I are converted into terms of fluid milk equivalent they amount to a little over 11 ounces daily. The garrison ration in this war includes enough butter, cheese, ice cream, fluid milk and concentrated milks to be equal to 37 ounces of fluid milk a day, or approximately 3 times as much total dairy products as in the first World war. Bigger and Better Men. It is commonly stated that America today has the best fed fighting forces in the worlds history. These greatly increased portions of dairy products are obviously one of the important reasons. Furthermore, according to Dr. George Holm of the bureau of dairy industry of the U. S. department of agriculture, over 10 per cent of all the foods exported to our fighters are dairy products as compared with 2 per cent in World war I. Not only are these fighters of today taller, nealthier and better physical specimens, but they are being kept that way with the best foods possible. ' Dairy products serve an additional and extremely important purpose of building morale as well. When it comes to keeping up fighters spirits, ice cream, milk and milk drinks top the list. War plants and factories throughout the nation are encouraging the use of milk and its products to keep workers fit so that they may produce the maximum amount of materials and equipment necessary to win the war. Frederick Schlueter, president of the Thermoid company of Trenton, New Jersey, is typical of such individuals and companies. He says that a between meal milk service in his plant reduced accidents by 30 per cent and brought about fewer absences, better health, and reduced the mid-da- y fatigue periods to the end that both production and the workers pay increased. All across the, nation these experiences are being duplicated in thousands upon thousands of factories and war plants. All of the milk and milk products that are available are being used to speed up production so essential in defeating Hitler and Tojo and thereby maintaining the American way of living. Truly, the dairy cow and her products are fighting this war, too, both on the battle fronts and on the home fronts. The necessary appreciation for these products which are so much to the efficiency of adding America is the result of more than a quarter of a century of intensive nutrition education. At the close of the last World war the nations nutrition scientists realized leading that a short-ag- e of dairy products had contributed to serious physical deficiencies in many parts of the world. Council Is 25 Years Old. At their behest, the dairy industry organized the national diary council as its research and educational institution.

In the economy of production of these three critical food nutrients the dairy cow ranks without even a close competitor, according to the bureau of agricultural economics of the U.

RIBOFLAVIN Hotond cream and cheese have increased about 25 per cent during that time. It is further stated that this represents one of the greatest improvements made in the human diet in recent years. Milk, ice cream and cheese furnish 75 per cent of all the calcium and 46 per cent the riboflavin in the national diet. Calcium is important to the body as a builder and maintainer of bones and teeth, continues the bureau of home nutrition and home economics. It is also needed in many of the fluids which govern the bodys involuntary activities. Riboflavin promotes growth and is essential for normal nutrition at all ages. Insufficient quantities of riboflavin for any length of time may be followed by digestive disturbances and some types of eyestrain and a lowered general resistance. Europes Protein Deficiency. Adequate quantities of the highest quality proteins is another factor of real importance in the food economy of-a- ll the quality of human food produced but in the economy of it as well. In this same connection, Food Administrator Jones points out first that the total needs for milk and its products for our military, e, and civilian uses are much more urgent than for many other foods. Secondly, the dairy cow is the most efficient converter of livestock food into human food. Third, this is the time when we need that efficient utilization of livestock feeds. Truly, bossy is in the war. Her product is recognized as essential in maintaining the g of the nation s fighters. It is equally impor-ta- nt m maintaining production on the home front. It has contributed greatly toward improving the food habits, the health, and the productivity of the nation. At the same time, the cow is proving herself a most efficient converter of the already short livestock feeds into human food. lend-leas- ed WYETEHPEARSjg6) gives the dimensions of the end jabots.
