New Use for Lemons.

DR. DUNLAP Of tho bureau OF
u chemistry, and one Of the members
OF the pure food board, has discovered
that sodium citrate. product made from
the acid Of the lemon. when mixed with
milk. prevents the coagulation Of milk
in tho stomach and facilitates its assimi-
lation. The use Of this by-product of the
lemon as protective colloid." he says,
is especially valuable in the case Of in
FAINT feeding. when there is an acid
stomach. Similar results are obtained
from the use Of gelatin. gum arabic and
albumin.
Thus has science discovered a new and
seemingly valuable use for the ordinary
lemon of commerce. the cultivation OF
which Congress is periodically trying to
-encourage-and with promising success
inasmuch as this country now produces
one-half of all the lemons consumed in
the United States.
