IF from the point of view of human nutrition in war–time the gravest problem is that of providing sufficient calories, the next in importance is undoubtedly that of maintaining at the highest possible level the daily inflow into the national larder of milk—with its unquestioned value in balancing and reinforcing, either for the young or the adult, a diet which may be short of calcium, vitamin A, riboflavin, animal protein, and fat.
