FOOD VALUE OF BUTTERMILK
Reasons Why There Has Been IN
Enormous increase In its
Consumption.

Only = few years ago the chickens
and the pigs got most Of the residum
Of a churning. They get very little
Of 1t now, for the wise men of the
hospitals have educated the public
to a knowledge Of its value. Not only
in cases of serious stomachic all
ment, but for all persons of feeble or
impaired digestion, buttermilk is
esteemed a boon. The once despised
byproduct ranks with sweet milk,
and outranks 1t both with those who
find it palatable and crave 1t, and
with those for whom 1t is incidentally
prescribed.
The taste for buttermilk is mostly
acquired, but once one gets the habit
1t grows and sticks. Back of the
developed fondness for the cold, tart,
acid beverage is the agreeable con-
s~ciousness that the drink, with the
casein principle of milk eliminated,
is a food salutary, wholesome and
easily digested, and that the moro one
imbibes OF 1t SO much the better.
Recent years have witnessed an enor-
nous increase In the consumption Of
buttermilk. Department stores serve
1t with crackers; most saloons are
compelled to keep 1t on tap, and
many report a gratifying preference
for 1t on the part Of their patrons
yer beer.
Great Is buttermilk, indeed; a nutri-
tious food, a cooling summer drink.

with manifest dissatisfaction on the
bare walls of her room, and then out
through the open window into the

his hand encourasingly. Miss Chris

again about the room, her foot tapping

reason to feel aggrieved over her re-
