Skim Milk.
Many people have an idea that
skinned milk is only 1T for the
chickens or pigs, when even after the
average milk is skinned II still con
tains nearly ten per cent. Of solids or
nutritive ingredients.
Taken by itself. skim milk IS rather
thin, and one has to drink a large
quantity to get the necessary nourish-
ment. A pound Of round steak coli
tains 0.1S pound OF protein and has a
fuel value OF $40 calories. Five
pounds Of milk, or two and a half
quarts, will furnish nearly the same
amount Of protein, and has the same
amount Of fuel value as a pound Of
round steak
A lunch OF bread and skim milk is
very nutritious.

teids somewhat more difficult OF d.
gestion for most persons, but there
are exceptions. There are some who
cannot take fresh milk with comfort,
but with whom boiled milk agrees
