MILK PAIL PROOF
Purina-fed cows have broken more than sixty
state, national, and world records.
Yet these records don’t tell the whole story
after all. They only prove that Purina makes
more milk. They don’t prove any thing about
Purina producing a cheaper quart of milk
and that’s the thing that every dairyman
wants.
But here’s what does prove Purina pro-
, duces a cheaper quart—twenty thou-
i sand more dairymen are feeding Purina
I this year than fed it last year! When
I twenty thousand dairymen—big and
| little—change to one feed in one
year, it says a lot more than any
feed salesman can say about the
Purina quart being the cheapest!

Fortunate the country with little
political excitement. It is quite, be-
cause it is doing well.
The success of the individual is
often the good fortune of the many.
Julius Rosenwald, who began with
a public school education, courage
and the desire to help others, has
established a fund “for the benefit of
humanity,” recently adding $2,000,-
000 to other gifts, now in excess of
$20,000,000.
Mr. Rosenwald gives the money to
trustees for the public benefit, and
imposes only one condition, that “all
the money shall be spent, principal
and interest, within twenty-five years
of Mr. Rosenwald’s death.”
May that death be long postponed.
