testants are informed that it is the

whose crandle kept alight longest.

Other testimonials are as 'follow's:
"When I was in the :sixth grade I
was not doing good work. I knew
that I was going ,to be put back. Then
I startede-to drink milk and it -helped
me out a, l'ot. I was not kept back, so
you see vihat the milk did."
"I feel much 'sthionger now. I drink
a quart and a pint eyory day."
'I ,drink milk now and like it. When
I drank rnalk before it made me kin,d
of sick. •But I know a girl that did
not like milk Luteshe took- it and it
made her big and' strong, so we start-
ed to get milk at school. I also made
up my mind to take it. I have taken
it quite a while now and like it very
much. Milk is -very good- for you and
people ought to drink more of it. I
-am sorry I _did, not force myself to
take it long before -I did."
''Belere...taking milk I was not very
strong. When I started to drink Milk
I got very strang and big."
"I think milk is, better than candy.
I am not ,going to eat so much candy
any -more." .
„"My New Year' t re -solation this year
was, 'no more candy.,' I am going to
spend- ,Semo of my mone,y for milk at

"Each year, a doctote-Coires to 'the

"I drink milk for breakfast, dinner
