MILK CONSTITUTES ONE-SlXTH
OF ALL FOOD HUMANS USE

There are exceedingly few lmpor-
tant subjects on which Joseph A. AT
mold the versatile and courteous edi-
tor and chief Of the division OF publi-
cations OF the United States depart
ment of agriculture, can not talk both
entertainingly and instructively. In a
short pen chat containing some facts
about milk. which are not at all gen.
orally known, he suggests, for In
stance. that some Idea OF the Import
ance of milk as human food may be
gained from the fact that about one
sixth Of the total food of the average
family is furnished by it and its pro
ducts.
Continuing, he tells us that 'of the
various mammals whose milk is used
for food In different parts OF the world
NAV be mentioned the goat In the hilly
districts of Europe, the buffalo in Ida,
the Llama in South America, the
camel in desert countries. and the
mare on the steppes OF Russia and
Central Asia,
"Sheep's milk is used in some coun-
tries for making cheese and In other
ways. and the milk of reindeerS Is
commonly used as food In the arctic
regions. With us the milk of the COW
SO far surpasses all other kinds In
importance that unless otherwise spec
ified the word milk is taken to refer
TO cows milk only.
Good unadulterated milk should
contain about 81 per cent OF water and
l3 per cent solids.
MIX contains bacteria of many
kinds and in varying numbers They
cause the souring OF milk as well as
the ripening of cream and cheese, and
produce many other changes In the ap-
pearance and flavor The number pres
ent I'm freshly drawn milk varies enor-
mously with the conditions Of milking
and as they arc greatly increased with
dirty and careless handling, cleanh-
ness In all matters pertaining TO the
milking and marketing OF milk and
keeping Il in the home can not be too
strongly insisted on. Disease germs,
notably those OF typhoid. diphtheria,
scarlet fever and tuberculosis. may
also be carried in milk. 50 that tho
purity of the milk supply IS of vital
importance 10 every family In the
community.
The problem OF keeping milk sweet
is one Of checking the growth of the
bacteria: and as they are inactive at
a temperature below fifty degrees Fab
renheit, milk should be kept In cool
place Two common methods for pre-
serving milk are pasteurization and
sterilization. In the former the aim is
to apply heat In such way as to kill
most of the bacteria without producing
undesirable changes In the milk; III

Learn to Use the Telephone,

"Only about n person in every
ten knows how properly to use the
telephone" said a district manager
of n of the local companies. Eyes,
sir, I'll stand by my guns on that
assertion; and 1 think I can prove
my point. Nine out Of every ten per-
sons talk entirely too loud over the
telephone. They actually shout and
make SO much noise that they drown
out all semblance Of clearness. Then
they can't hear, and the first thing
you know there is a complaint about
poor connection and faulty service.
The correct way to talk over the tele-
phone Is to talk as you do in orai-
nary conversation, or even a trife
lower. People can't seem to realize
that the telephone will carry a whis-
per even. No, they must talk loud
enough to be heard from Tenth and
Chestnut streets to Germantown. if
