In return for this liberal patronage ex-

perfectly clean, the udders are washed

mixers are themselves scrupuiously
clean. The rich milk Is doubly strain
ed, the churning being conducted on
strictly modern scientific principles.
No odors are allowed to come In con-

rigldIy inspected. After such care and
precaution these energetic and consci'

the results of sugar eating When

form this digestion.
Then comes sour stomach and

absorbed without change it will be
removed by the kidneys and may re-
