Southard, M. D., Director of the State Department of Health states that saving on feed Without increas­ ing hazzards to health must be done wisely. No attempt should be made to economize on milk, especially for children. Every growing child should have at least a quart of milk daily, either to drink or mixed or cooked with other foods. Cottage cheese is a good substitute at times for, meat. The lact o f iron may be met by using molasses instead of sugar, by eating spinach or dandelion greens or baked beans. Beans supply most of the foed substance which are found in meat.

Cedarville citizens havo the oppor­ tunity of doing a good turn by giving lid in various ways towards the beau­ tification of a public park or plot. The time is near when we must think of the out-of-doors. We have our gar- lens and our lawns and the care •of trees, shrubbery and flowers. Import­ ant as this is we must not neglect the public places, Many an eye-sore can be converted by little effort and not much cost to a place of beauty. Cedarville owns.a well selected site where the pumping station is that can be transformed into a beautiful park by each bne contributing in a small way. If each one would give orte or more shrubs, rose bush, ptoha/ young tree, or bulbs of various kinds, the plot will soon be converted into an attractive park. This is the season of the year when most persons have their shrubbery thinned out or reset and find more of one or more kinds than can be used. By calling Ralph Wolford, chairman of the Board of Public Affffairs, he will have a man call and get what ever you have to offer. A number Of persons have of­ fered plants and! shrubs of various kinds. Many flowers of the tuber variety propogate fast. Let the vil­ lage have some Of your surplus. You will aid in creating a civic beauty spot. There is no particular choice of flowers or shrubbery. The tract is large and most anything will be ap­ preciated. There are many reasons why you should lend aid in this movement. As you know the present water softening plant is one of the latest known to science. It attracts officials from scores of towns in Ohio and neigh­ boring states. The well kept grounds with landscape work will only add to the prestage of the town. It gives the town a good send-off. Having a model softening plaht in a field is to to taken for granted when first erect­ ed bur the timo is now here when we .•an add greatly by landscuping the site. We have a number of clubs in which ladies are interested and we would like to'see them join in this work. Most all of them have civic committees and here is a chance for these committies to got. busy. When things ge$ to moving the Herald will give credit to all who contribute in anyway' towards this work.
