Believer In Empire Talk John Curtln Will Air Well-Defined Views at London Conference By ROSS MUNRO Canadian Vina Staff Writer LONDON, April 5 Of For Rt. Hon. John Curtln, Labor prime mlnUter of Australia, the proposed meeting of Empire prime ministers In London is exactly what he advocate to establish closer Empire consultation and collaboration. There can be no substitute for conferences of prime ministers on question of major Empire policy." he said In a recent speech. Bo he will come to London en- defined opinions on Empire re lationships In war and peace, as well as strong views on the machinery necessary for International co-operation after the war. "The method by which the ul timate best machinery for International co-operation Is to be achieved Is by an evolution simi lar to that which has been the history of co-operation In the British commonwealth of nations.' Curtln told the Australian LAbo: Dartv. 'The nucleus of the machln- rry must be the great powers j of Britain. America, Russia and i China, in association with all peace-loving nations. This nucleus must remedy the grave defects which existed in the league of nations through non-membership of powerful nations.'' Curtln is a strong advocate of regional arrangements within the framework of this world organization and points to the ri uVlr.l.t in the yyr BH on the tahlc.

It is a rich source of protein and vitamins A and B. It Is the best source of vitamin B2 and calcium. MHk is most prized for its sup-Ply of calcium. Both adults and children need calcium every day to build, and keep strong bones ana teeth. Without adequate calcium any child or adult develops serious tooth decay, bones soften, and the body suffers from 1M health 'No food can begin to approach milk as a source of calcium. Most foods contain small Quan tities of calcium but, no matter now carefully planned are the day's meals, onlv one-half the essential amount of this rnat- retary, a newspaperman and a politician. During the First Great War, Curtln fought the conscription movement vigorously and from 1017 to 1928 edited the "West Australia Worker." a labor Journal. Then he entered parliament and occupied that position for six years until he became prime minister erlal Is obtained If milk is omitted. Remember milk is more than a beverage, it Is an excellent food. The golden rule Is 4 cups per day for children, 2 cups per day for adults. Most of us are aware that milk Is an extremely Important food but we all say "you can't get milk In Prince Rupert" and we think there Is nothing that can be done about it. True, fresh milk and even canned milk are difficult to obtain but we can always buy powdered milk. And that Is our solution to the problem. There seems to be two popular objections to powdered milk. First is that of cost. One pound of dried milk equals 32 quarts of bottled milk. With the retail price of dried milk at 75c per pound, the cost is 21 l-6c per quart. This is 6c per quart higher than fresh milk but remember that money spent on milk Is money well spent. The second objection to powdered milk Is the taste. But In Prince Rupert we should try to acquire a taste for powdered milk when It Is the only milk available. It is definitely better than no milk at all. If powdered milk is disliked by your family start by giving it to them In small amounts and increase it slowly. Make a habit of using as much as possible in cooking. The breaklast cereal can be cooked In milk lnstear of water; cream soups and creamed or es-calloped vegetables, creamed chicken, fish or eggs, mashed or stuffed baked potatoes, all make use of milk. Choose desserts that call for milk like Junket, cus tards, bread and tapioca pud ding. MAKE MILK ATTRACTIVE When milk is used as a beverage flavor it -with chocolate, cocoa, peppermint, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar or honey. Make the drinking of milk more fun by using a straw or a colored glass or even changing the color by adding a few drops of pure vegetable coloring to the milk. If you are a parent drink your daily quota of milk In front of your children with obvlousj enjoyment. Remember children love to copy adults. Cheese makes a good substitute for milk. The food value of a 2 Inch cube of firm Canadian Cheddar cheese is equal to xk pint of milk. Cream cheese has a high fat content and contains less calcium and protein. Here again we are faced with the difficulty of obtaining the food we desire. However cottage cheese can be used as a milk substitute. It contains more moisture than hard cheese S3 that it takes about Hi cups of cottage cheese to equal V pint of milk. Serve cottage cheese salads and sandwiches frequently. If milk is not properly cared for It can do a great deal of harm. Disease germs grow rap-Idly when milk stands in a warm room or is not covered. It should be kept cold, clean and covered. Milk should be kept away from foods .that have an odor such as fish, onlon. cabbage. Never boll mill scaia It, which is heating over boiling water. Boiling of milk destroys its flavor and some of the food values. In Prince Rupert we are handicapped by lack of fresh milk and cheese tout we are much better off than we would be in England where milk Is rationed to 2 pints per week, or even aft any nowi: "SAL PAOB THRU BOMBAY B During the last three months, over 371:000 tons of foodstuffs have been handl ed by the troops engaged in fam ine relief work in Bengal, and transport distributing this cover ed 370,000 miles.
