staunch supporter of the whole
some beverage.
In fact, buttermilk is held to stand
first among the summer drinks.
'Buttermilk is nutritious" said a
local doctor yesterday, and it is
healthful. When made in the modern
method from the entire milk, 1t con-
tains both fats and proteids, It's COM
plete food value, though to some peo-
pie it is fully as acceptable when
made from skinned milk. With a
few glasses of buttermilk, little 9TH
er food is required, matter of i'm
portance in hot weather. The Tactic
acid organisms, especially the Bulgar-
ian Immigrants, have peculiar re-
straining effect upon the growth OF
the summertime germs of the colon
type, which have their habitat in
intestinal canal. Our German cousins
discovered this fact some time ago,
and began feeding their sick babies,
those suffering from the diarrheal
diseases, with buttermilk and with
surprisingly good results.
"Buttermilk has a good effect on
the liver. The much abused organ is
habitually overworked because the
products of the bowel putrefaction
first pass through it before reaching
and poisoning the body. BY putting

During the hot weather people
can not be too careful about their
