who shall complete their high school

discussion last night concerning the

was held lest year. but in view of the
fact that few of the students could
view the planting q the Creepec. and
still fewer would be able to hear the
poem on the planting. it was decided
10 have class poem N place Of the
planting. The junior class also met
last evening, and VIII Whistler, presi-
dent OF the class, appointed VIII Glass,
Earl Chalk, lies Gansert and Horace
Mason ushers for the class day exer-
Cises, and he also appointed Helen
Marshall, Margaret Myers and Hazel

the only gamer by this process OF edu-
cation, for the mothers who are better
of financially are gradually learning
what clean milk means. The educa-
tional campaign has reached the moth
er who is rich as well as the mother
who is poor, and so the world is NOV
ing slowly onward 10 the goal when
no baby will die from lack Of proper
food
And there is still great opportunity
for education, plenty of fields for har-
vest-in the big cities especially.
Parents are being told nowadays
the difference between mothers milk
and COWS milk. They are being
brought TO realize that the two milks
are very different. They are being
shown how to modify cows milk 50
that babies will not suffer from lack
Of nourishment or finally die from that
cause
INFANTS NOW FED PROPERLY.
At one time babies were fed on
COWS milk in every way but the right
way. It was modified by no proper
formula, no method that kept the child
from crying day and night. The baby
easily lost in weight day after day, and
/ the mother, grandmother or nurse had
to hold the baby in her arms constant
lily. And all this would be a terrific
/ strain on the mother, and in fact, all
the family. all because no one had
been informed on the great subject of
how TO feed babies on COWS milk.
The baby might struggle along IN

hundred different food preparations
and finally start 10 grow and develop
Or it might be one Of the 154, 375 re

died in 1910.

Mix offers a cheap, easily digested
and nutritious article Of diet. A quart
Of milk contains as much nutrition as
one quarter OF a pound of beef or six
ounces OF bread.
Il is the one perfect food for in
fants, children and invalids.
The chief bulk Of milk is water, the
amount OF which may vary even in Or
binary unadul,erated milk from 90 per
cent 10 a poor product S. per cent; in
an unusually rich milk the average is
about 81 per cent The solid matter

protein is in the formation Of body It's

protein is called casein.
Fat Of milk is commercially the most
important OF its constituents. since i

amount Of fat required by most OF tbs
states is per cent although our bes

The chief carbohydrate is Iactose o,
