Milk In Powdered Form

An American college professor an
nounces that he has discovered a proc
ess for Transforming milk into pow
dered form by removing the watery
part, says the New York Commercial
He has demonstrated his case to the
satisfaction of certain large manufac-
turing interests which propose to pro-
tect the discovery by patents and un-
milk on large scale. The powder can
be economically packed In small space
and shipped In that form any distance
and kept In good condition for an in
definite length of time and can then be
transformed into fluid of richness
and favor equal to that of fresh milk.

1t was thought that the sight of

under which he lay to observe police

police rules are enforced make France
