FehriA<iry, 1930 The Health Bulletin 31 cin, public health and particularly child hygiene and school hygiene," We would like to add that this book would make a very convenient reference for health officers. It is conservative, and does not pretend to say that milk is a perfect food, and therefore what they do have to say about the value of milk is much more dependable than it would otherwise be. The book would make a splendid reference reading for high schools and colleges when studying about milk. THE COST OF SICKNESS There is not an adult responsible human being livin gbut what is concerned either directly or indirectly about the question of "^Tiat it costs to be sick." Up to this time there has not ben available any exact data setting forth all the facts of the very much involved question of the cost of sickness. Realizing these things the American Medical Association acting with several large foundations has created a committee for the purpose of making an extensive study of all phases of the subject. This group of people composing the committee, and known as "The Committee On the Cost of Medical Care," represent the public, the medical profession, public health, institutions, and many other special interests. They are working on a five years program of exhaustive study. Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur is the chairman, and Dr. Harry H, Moore is director of esearch study. Dr. W. S, Rankin of the Duke Foundation is a member of the committee, representing "Institutions and Special Interests,'' The editor of the Health Bulletin is pleased to say that judging from some of the preliminary reports received from Dr, Moore that he believes the study will be of great value to the doctors, hospitals, the sick and to the general public. HOW'S THIS FOR MILK DRINKING A local paragraph in the Dayton, Ohio, Health Bulletin describes the habits of a native daughter of Dayton who is married and living in Seattle, Washington. The former Daytonian and her husband have nine children, composing a family of eleven persons. They are all milk drinkers, and the milk man leaves seventeen quarts of milk at the house each morning. This quantity of milk is somewhat in excess of the recognized normal requirements of the average person, but it is a habit that is much better to carry to excess than to fail to come up to the required standards. T'his Seattle family ought to be a healthy family. Just imagine for a moment that the per capita consumption of milk in the State of North Carolina was placed on such a basis for one year. It requires little effort to imagine what a transformation such a habit would mean to the health and prosperity of all the people in the State. In the first place, think of the hundreds and even thousands of children who are getting an insufficient quantity of milk at present, who would be so greatly benefitted, and whose health would so greatly improve following such a diet. Then imagine, if you will, what the effect would be on the dairymen and local producers of milk throughout the whole State, It would literally transform eastern North Carolina from a tobacco raising, cotton growing tenant ridden section, to a land of stock raising, home owning, healthy, satisfied population.
