FOOD VALUE OF MILK
CONTAINS MATERIALS WHICH
CHILDREN NEED FOR GROWTH.
One Quart Of Cows Milk Supplies
Practically as much Protein and
Energy as Three-Quarters
of Pound of Beef.

1t is commonplace saying that
milk, or, to be more specific, cows
milk, is a perfect food This may be
taken to mean that it contains, first,
materials which children need for
growth; second, material which young
and old alike need for the repair OF
their bodily machinery: and, third.
materials which both need for fuel,
l. O., to provide with heat and
with the energy necessary for
work 1t should not be understood.
however, to mean that it has these in
gradients in such proportions that it
can serve satisfactorily as an exclusive
food for grown person or even for
child. Though it is the best substf-
tute for mothers milk. it must be
modified more or less before it can
be used even for infant feeding with
good results.
1t is likewise a commonplace saying
that milk is a cheap as we'll as nu-
tritious food Just at present, with
prices Of all kinds of foods rapidly
changing, it is not so easy as it once
was to make the comparisons that
are necessary to show which particu-
lar foods are really cheap, but while
the prices Of food materials vary, the
composition Of most Of them remains
unchanged, and it is always possible
to compare their nutritive values.
quart of milk supplies practically az
much of both protein and energy as
three-quarters of q pound of beef OF
average composition or eight average
eggs, and can generally be bought for
less money. In case milk is eight
cents quart, beef 20 cents q pound,
and eggs "a cents dozen, ten cents
spent for milk will buy a little more
protein and much more energy than
ten cents spent for beef or ten cents
spent for eggs. Thus, while other ami
NAL foods than milk (meat, eggs and
cheese) are desirable to give variety
to the diet it may be assumed that
milk may be used as an economical
substitute for any one of them
OF the vegetable foods, many (four,
for example) are found to be much
cheaper than milk, when both price
and nutritive value are taken into con-
s1deration, and, as matter of fact,
they always form the greater part Of
the bulk of human food; but Of the
animal foods which are usually COM
bined with the vegetable foods, milk
Is one Of the cheapest.
In spite of the fact that milk is REQ
ognized as a nutritious and a cheap
food, there seems to be a general
tendency to think of it not as a pos
sible substitute for other more expen-
sive foods, but rather as an addition
to the bill of fare. To illustrate, milk
is frequently used as a beverage with
out the reduction of the amount OF
meat or other proteid foods served.
From the point of view of the need OF
the body, this may be considered ex-
travagant and the serving of a glass
of milk or of a bowlful of soup or OF
such desserts as custards and baked
milk, or the use of generous quantities
of milk or white sauce on vegetables.
offers an opportunity to cut down the
allowance of meats and eggs.-Caro-

STARTLING GROWTH
Of DAIRY PRODUCTS
AGGREGATE VALUE FOB PAST
YEAR WAS S7o, 100000 SAYS
STATE COMMISSIONER.
WISCONSIN is UNSURPASSED
Commissioners j. Q. Emerys Report
Lays Stress Upon Showing at the
National Dairy Show, Where Bad
ger Products Won Big Awards.

Madison.-In the biennial report
OF the work of the Wisconsin dairy
and food department commission,
Commissioner J. O. Emery shows the
amazing statistics that the dairy bus
mess of the state, in the form of milk
and its products, amounts to the stu
pendous sum of $79,000,5 500 annu-
ally.
There are 1928 cheese factories,
1,005 creameries, Lightweight skim
ming stations and nineteen condens-
cries in the state. The number of
cows contributing to these cheese
factories, creameries and cOndens-
cries is 1,256,315. The total num-
Der of COWS in Wisconsin for the year
1909, as given in the year book of
the United States department of agri-
culture, is 1906, 900
Showing the evolution of the dairy
business in Wisconsin from it's be-
ginning, Mr.. Emery draws a contrast
with the conditions as they existed
when the COW, the strawstock, the
farmers wife, the dasher churn and
the country grocery store, brought
an income to the farmer and his wife
of 5 to 10 cents per pound for the
product, taken in brown sugar at %
cents pound and other things in
proportion. The COWS fresnened in
March or April, ran at large, and
were dried off in November or De-
cember There was no winter dairy
ing
Contrast present conditions in
Wisconsin with those of the begin
ming Of the industry exclaims the
commissioner. Where there were at
that time no cheese factories, no
creameries, no Swimming sta
lions, no condenseries, there
are now known to be in Wis
consin 1888 cheese factories, zoos
creameries, lightweight Swimming
stations and nineteen condenseries.
The manufacture of butter has been
transferred from the farm to the
modern Wisconsin creamery. The
manufacture of cheese has been
transferred from the pioneer farm
to the modern Wisconsin cheese fac
tory. The oIdtime native, scrub, no
purpose COW, poor and plastered on
both TANKS and hips with filth, is
being superseded by clean, we'll kept,
high grade or pure bred, special-pur-
pose COWS Of the dairy breeds-not
only profitable to the owner, but
beautiful and highly attractive to
every beholder."
Mr.. Emery calls attention to the
showing made by Wisconsin at the
Fourth National Dairy show in Chi
cagO, when makers from the Badger
state won first prize and gold medal
for butter made from gathered
cream, first and second prizes and
gold and silver medals for market
milk: first prize and gold medal for
market cream; first prize in the
creamery patrons contest, and many
honorable mentions, and he declares
the conviction that Wisconsin dairy
products are unsurpassed by any
state in the union.
Much of the report discusses the
enforcing of the pure food laws For
the biennial period, June, 1908, to
June, 1910, there vert 400 convic-
tions. with penalties varying from
S25 to SIS and COSTS

Get Rid Of the Scum.

She was city bride who had
never before taken a hand in
housekeeping and knew but lit
tie about things in the kitchen. A
few mornings ago she got after
the milkman.
What's the matter with your
milk she said with great vehe-
mence.
l don't know, he replied. What
do you find wrong with it.
Well she said every morning it
is covered with a nasty yellow
scum.
And what do you do with the
scum?
Why skim it off Of course,
and throw it in the garbage can.

Wonderful Hats.

On one occasion Lincoln was
presented with two fine hats,
each by different hatmaker,
neither knowing that the other
had made such a contribution. In
the course of events they called
upon the president, and it so
happened that both called at the
same time. When. both found
themselves in the presence of the
executive they asked how he
liked the hats they had sent him
and taking advantage of the op-
portuniy of securing a statement
of superiority of one or the other
make, the president was asked
to state his preference. To many
men such a question would be
very embarrassing, butte Lincoln
not at all. He took the hats, one
in each hand, and then replied
gravely, but with a mischievous
twinkle in his keen eyes: Gen
tleman, your hats do surpass
zach other!"

Many a mother has learned of a
way of avoiding sickness in her fam
lily, especially among the children, by
the use of free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to
send free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
it is mild and never gripes. 1t is all
that a child's remedy should be,
though it is a good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. 1t is not dynamic like
salts, pills and powerful cathartics.
which should not be given to chill
'dren under any circumstances.
