LOS ANGKLKS July 31. "Get your
own nanny!' '
Thla slogan to help keep flown th
high cost of living Is worth Berlous
consideration.
If you own your own milk goat you
(an have this product all the year
around. and( your children wjll bo
heitflhy. Goat's milk is acknowledged
to be "nearest to mother's milk" of 'ill
lacteal ilulds.
Professional physiologists and chil-
dren's specialists unite in declaring
the milk of the humble nanny is the
greatest life saver for children. Strong
medical endorsement is behind the
movement and "own your own nanny"
should appeal to every economic linus"-
holder ami mother.
A mill; goat In your buck yard wilt
save the cost of the milk man who
leaves cow's milk at your door and
will give you a product that recom-
mends Itself. It Ih so rich and health-
ful thu't even the milk dairymen real-
Ire Ita value and have put tho price or
the commodity at 10 cents a ipiart de-
livered. The intelligent animal will thrive in
your back yard on almost anything and
will give you back a rich supply of na-
ture's best product
Mrs. Nanny Goat will butt her way
Info your favor if you will give her n
chance. She will have the more ex
pensive Mrs. Cow backed right out of
the yard. You can milk her twice a
day and she fives from three to seven
quarts of rich creamy milk that never
taste? of the pomp. Children can play
with nanny goats without danger of
being "hooked" and the gentle animal
boons wins her way Into the heart of
the family.
Get your own goat and beat the
high coat of llvlag.
