A Tune Cuba Doesn't Like.

Judge Alum of one of Havana's cor
rectional courts fined the management
of the Albisu theater $50 few days
ago for violating the ordinance against
the playing Of the Marcia de Cadiz"
C"Cadiz March'). There is a peculiar
but reasonable prejudice in Cuba
against this Spanish march. 1t was to
that tune, in the days when Spain
ruled the island, that the Cuban pa
triots marched to their execution. So
when the independent government was
established six years ago a ban was
placed on the march, and it has been
seldom heard since then. Senor valdes,
manager Of the Albisu theater, ex-
planned that the large Spanish element
in the house demanded the playing Of
the "Cadiz March" and he complied to
avoid trouble.

DRY MILK.
How the Lacteal Fluid Is Reduced to
Powder

How the Lacteal Fluid Is Reduced to
a Powder
1t Is well recognized fact that the
curse of milk is water. This is not
said facetiously, for we now allude
only to the water which 1t contains as
it comes from the COW. This water,
however, is 81 per cent Of the bulk, so
that 1t can be seen at once that cows
milk must be considered highly di-
luted and therefore correspondingy
unnutritious food.
The fundamental idea of dry milk Is
simply to remove this 81 per cent of
water. The process by which this is
accomplished is very simple. The milk
as soon as possible after it comes from
the GOWN most cases an hour or two
is passed without preliminary treat
ment, physical or chemical, except
straining, over polished steel rollers in
a thin sheet. The rollers are heated to
a temperature of 240 degrees T.. and
the milk remains on them only about
two and one-half seconds. 1t comes
off the rollers dry poVtkh', coatain-
ing less moisture than flour, only or 6
per cent. 1t is then packed in boxes
or barrels and can be shipped far or
near, as required. Its chemical com
position has been unchanged and 1t
will now keep for an indefinite period.
or until the readdition of water |
myself have drunk milk more than
two years old.
In the first place, all germs are killed
by the temperature of 2i0 degrees to
which the milk is subjected. The milk
itself does not suffer any chemical
change as in the case of sterilization.
on account of the short space of time
it is subjected TO this heat, only two
and one-half seconds instead of twenty
or thirty minutes. Secondly. bacteria
develop only in the presence of mois-
ture. 1t has been ascertained that
there must be 15 per cent moisture for
the propagation of germs. Now, as
dry milk contains only 6 per cent
moisture, any germs which may subse-
quently get into the powder cannot de-
velop; hence the milk keeps indefinite
ly or until water is again added. We
have therefore in dry milk food
eight times as nutritious as ordinary
milk in proportion to its weight and
which is absolutely free from bacteria
and will remain so.-A. G. Robinson in
Outing Magazine.
