As the per captia consumption of milk in Georgia is below the av erage in other places, each per son in our state should be infer ested both from the economical and health-giving value of milk. Today, it is known that a quart of milk a day will furnish the da ily supply of calcium for an ex pectant or nursing mother, or for a growing child. This milk can he used as a beverage, or in cooked foods, (heese is also an important so urce of ecaleium. In addition, green leafy vegetable furnish gen erous amounts of calcium. Bat unless a person takes milk in some form, it is almost imposs ible to get a liberal supply of this mineral. The supply of ecalcium meritz special attention because diets are so often low in this mineral. The Federal Bureau of Home Ec onomies recently made a diet study of city families the counfry over and found that less than half the families surveyed were octting as much calcium as they could use to good advantage Phosphorus is also needed in huilding bones and testh. Jt ean be found in nearly all of the cal- ( cinm-rich foods and also in eggs, ‘ lean ieats, fish, and cereals.
