DENATURED SUGAR FOR CALF
Found to Form Valuable and Econom-
icaI Addition to Skim MiIk-Re-
suit Of Experiment.

1t has been found that denatured
sugar forms a valuable and economi,
cal addition to skim milk for calves.
Denatured sugar Is sugar to which
various ingredients have been added
for the purpose of rendering it unfit
for human consumption. 1t is claimed
that, contrary to general belief, ii
does not i've an injurious effect on
the digestive organs; on the contrary,
that it's solubility renders 1t more di-
g~estible, and that 1t has a high food
value. The amount fed at first is
one ounce per quart OF skim milk, and
It is claimed that 1t can be fed to
calves ten days after birth without
danger. At first not over 81 ounces
is given at a feeding, but afterwards
the amount may be raised TO ~
ounces per quart of skim milk.
OF two lots of four calves each fed
on skim milk supplemented by starch
and denatured sugar, as an expert
ment, the respective profits averaged
1924 per calf in the lot fed sugar and
1912 in the lot fed starch. The calves
we're kept an average of 95 days.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is inflammation of the

II this membrane happens to be at all

throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a

throat because 1t possesses extraor-
