MILK.
The British Government's Advisory Committee's Beport on Nutrition, just issued, says : " Consumption of milk in all forms per head of the population is too low. We have computed that the requirements are equivalent to an average allowance per head of the population of seven-eighths of a pint of liqjid milk daily. The present national eonsumption of liquid milk is less than one-half of this amount. If condensed ahd.dried xnilk is included the national consumption is still only 60 per cent of the amount suggested. We regard this deficienoy with speeial concern. "We have expressed the opinion in our memorandum on The nutritive value of milk' that the desirable amount of milk "for children is from one to two pints per day, for expectant or nursing mothers about two pints per day, and for other adult members of the oommnnity half a pint of milk daily. If these quantities were consumed the present consumption of liquid milk would be at least douhled,"
