FOOD VALUE OF BUTTERMILK
According to Bulletin of Department
Of Agriculture II Is Extremely
High.

An ordinary glass of buttermilk con-
tains about as much nutriment as two
ounces of bread, a good sized potato
or half pint of oysters, says a re-
cent bulletin of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. II thus con-
tains about the same food constituents
as skim milk, but II has an added n.y.
gienic value because the protein is
more easily digested than the protein
in skim milk, and therefore is often
prescribed by physicians for children
and invalids. especially those suffering
from intestinal trouble.
Protein, being the most costly or
food ingredients, is the one most like
ly to be lacking in inexpensive meals,
and this is the nutrient which both
skim milk and buttermilk supply in
cheap and useful form, and when TAX.
en- with bread or used in cooking they
form a very nutritious addition to
the diet. Two and one-half quarts or
skim milk or buttermilk contains
about the same amount OF protein as
one pound Of round steak, and costs
about one-quarter as much. Two
quarts of milk has greater nutrient
value than one quart of oysters. The
nutriment in the form OF oysters
would cost 80 10 80 cents, while the
skim milk or buttermilk would have
a vaiue on the farm OF from two to
four cents

Children Cry
FOR FlETCHER'S
Q a STO RIA
Without the Stork.

There are no storks IN the dense
forests of Dutch Guiana, where live
simple, harmless Indians. The poor
Indian mother goes out Of her home,
a simple shelter from rain raised on a
few sticks, and broods in the forest.
She soon comes back, not alone as
she went out, but with a little baby
boy or girl, sometimes twins. Old
Mr.. Indian smiles quietly when he
first sees the little one and from some
superstition he believes he must not
work and kill game for several weeks.
So he lies in his hammock and some
times holds the little one as the other
Indians come up and tell him how
happy he ought to be as the father Of
the fine baby. In two or three days
the little one is swung in a hammock
and carried at its mothers breast
while she works the casava fields.
Baby seldom or never cries and Is not
one tenth as much trouble as an
American baby.
