THE 1914 AUTOMOBILE

At this time Of the year the 1914
model automobile is beginning TO make
its appearance, thus filling the owners
of the crude 1913 variety with shame
and Indignation.
Progress goes by leaps and bounds
in automobile making. III July. we
gaze with awe and wonder at the
latest model cars and in the follow
ing March we yell ice as they
rumble down the street. Last year
the world clutched the selfstarting
car 10 its bosom with a yell Of de.
light. This year it will undoubtedly
discover something which will make
the self.starter look as tame as a
coffee grinder What this something
will be has not yet been announced.

ing things:

one of these parts If hydrochloric acid
is added TO each Of these solutions. In the
one containing the small amount OF geia-
tin the crystals formed are much
smaller-so small. in fact, that they can
not be filtered out on a filter paper, but
pass through it-while in the portion con-
tanning no gelatin the crystals are
coarse and are easily filtered out. II is
lust this same way when ice cream IS
eaten. The gastric juices of the stomach
act the same as the hydrochloric acid.
The casein of the milk or cream present
is coagulated into a mass more or less
solid, and that is with some difficulty di-
eested. If, however, some gelatine IL
present i'm the cream. very fine particles
only are formed in the stomach, which
are easily digested.
The fourth point follows from both the
first and second, that il the ice cream
keeps longer and in a better condition the
trade is more stable and not so hazardous
Weather conditions make the sales In ICE

THE ClTYS MILK SUPPLY
Where 1t Comes From-Its
Purity Safeguarded.

Comparatively few consumers OF milk
in New York realize what is involved in
furnishing the city daily with fresh
and unadulteratcd supply. or the many
products required for the sustenance OF
the city's inhabitants not one is so per
ishable az milk. IL is estimated that
.. 800 900 quarts were required daily in 1872
in the New York market, which includes
Newark and the other communities bor-
dcring the greater city. This great vol
ume was drawn from approximately 5D.-
w COWS scattered over 1900 farms To-
Gated in six different states. IL was col
lectcd AT loo shipping stations and
crcameries II was transported TO he
city 10y eleven different railroads. eigh-
teen locomotives and 22j cars being re-
quired for each days shipment The
shortest distance over which any was
transported was fifty miles. and some Of
il came from q distance Of 42j miles The
delivery OF the milk to the consumers
required the services Of $500 wagons. and
one could purchase IL in addition at any
one OF 1900 different stores IL Is esti-
mated that about 127.ooo persons. or
enough 10 rcpopulate Albany. should that
city suddenly 10 abandoned by all OF It's
present inhabitants. and another city OF
$500" ln addition. are engaged daily IN
handling H. These statistics furnish
some idea Of the great problem which is
involved in supplying city like New
York. In order that such "A volume OF
milk may reach the city in good condi-
tion every day IN the year great faith
fulness must characterize this great
army. There may be no cessation from
their labors. Day after day the wo-k
must be done. and done according 10 the
requirements OF "A watchful corps OF

gelatin coating not only prevents them
from sticking together in the box, but
conceals the taste of the medicine OF
which they are made.
Gelatin is used as medicine in a num-
Der Of diseases. Merck prepares sterile
gelatin to be used in increasing the
coagulabillty of the blood and In treating
some diseases OF the intestines. In pro-
fuse bleeding from dental operations gel
atin has been used to stop the excessive
flow of blood.
To invalids recovering from diseases
gelatin is Of great service. Ii Is pleas
ant addition 10 the diet, and often seems
TO be the only food that is reished while
the patient is weak and the appetite poor.
MISCELLANEOUS USES.
The use of gelatin in photography was
Increased very much with the advent OF
the kodak and the popularizing OF the
: art of picture taking, so that ten pct
ures are taken now where but one was
taken before. This great increase means
a like increase in the use OF Photographic
on so-caled emulsion gelatin.
I Among other valuable and important
] uses of gelatin may be briefly mentioned:
] In the arts, in preparing moulds LOT
castings that can - made without seams
In copying drawings by engineers by
very accurate and rapid method.
| In the manufacture Of ornamental glass
largely employed for decorative purposes
In making artificial ivory, now so pop
ular for trays. brushes, clocks etc.
| In the manufacture of artificial leather
and artificial silk, in preparing straw
hats. and also in clarifying wines.
Gelatin may be made insoluble by
treatment with chemicals such as potas-
stun dichromate or formaldehyde' ana
in this form may be colored and made
into jet or other ornaments similar 10
those made with celluloid.
TO all these varied uses for gelatin
hat have been mentioned others might
be added, each requiring its own speclai
kind of gelatin. of uniform quality ana
strictest purity.

IN ICE CREAM.

Gelatin is a quite essential ingredient
In ice cream and adds much TO its popu-
larity This gelatin is not added 70
ice cream. as sometimes supposed. to
increase its bulk by initiating the product.
for this IL does not do. as proved by
experiment station tests. Nor is II added
for the purpose Of cheapening the prod
uct. for gelatin costs several times as
much as does cream and both gelatin
and cream are of animal origin and are
equally pure. But gelatin is added TO the
ice cream for its beneficial effects, which
briefly are
First-It prevents coarse granulation or
crystallization Of the watery portion OF
the ice cream.
SecOnd-It maintains the cream in a
palatable condition and prevents IT be-
coming soft when being served.
Third-It aids in the digestibility OF the
cream.
Fourth-It aids in the trade distribution
of the product.
Inasmuch as in the United States more
than $1,000. 600 worth of ice cream Is an
nually consumed. and in this ice cream
IL NAV be Of interest TO cur readers TO
know more about the points above men
toned.
First. I'm regard to granuatiOn or crys-
tallizatOn. II has already been stated
that gelatin belongs to 4 class known as
colloids, or non-crystallizable substances.
and il is further fact proven many
times. that small portion Of such sub
stances mixed with a crystallizable sub
stance will prevent the formation II
large crystals therein and often en-
tirely prevent crystals forming Ice
cream is naturally and normally com
posed Of from so 10 20 per cent OF water,
and on standing at low temperature for
a time fee crystals form in the cream.
making il unpalatable and unpleasant TO
eat, and these crystals usually continue
to increase. The addition Of small
amount OF gelatin to the cream prevents
these coarse ice crystals forming and
keeps il smooth and velvety.
Secondly experience il has been
found that the addition Of a small amount
Of gelatin TO ice cream not only prevents
coarse crystals from forming. but il also
maintains the cream in a hrmer state
when the temperature rises. preventing It
from becoming soft and mushy
The third point. that gelatin makes
the ice cream more digestible. follows
from the fact Of the action OF gelatin in
preventing the formation OF large crystals
in crystallzable substances. An expert
ment that may easily be tried. showing
the influence Of gelatin on the coagula-
tion with acids. IS by taking a solution Of
nitrate Of silver and dividing il into two

gagged by the condition Of the stock by
men skilled in that work. Ceaseless vigil
lance. coupled with experience, is the only
key to success in this industry Espe-
cially is this true in the manufacture OF

matte changes are so sudden and so great

AID TO DIGESTION.

Further. in regard to the use OF gela-
fin as food. the importance OF this
action of colloids In preventing the heavy
coaguation Of milk In the stomach has
been made use of by physicians In pre-
pairing milk for infants Cows milk con-
tains a larger amount OF caseln thah
human milk and is apt to coagulate III
the stomach of the infant in too heavy a
mass for easy digestion, but by adding a
small amount of gelatin to the milk fine
particles OF caseIn are formed In the
stomach that are easily digested. In
fact, II is not improbable that where the
infants digestion is poor with any khd
of milk. the digestion may be Improved
by the use Of little gelatin. II has also
the power of fixing acids In the process oil
digestion, and hence may he of use TO
adults who are troubled with too much
acid I'm the stomach, or so-called "acid
dyspepsia"
In Chapter V Of his book on Food and
the Principles of Dietetics" Dr. Robert
Hutchinson says:
"The digestion OF gelatin in the stom-
ach is a very easy process: indeed IN
this respect 1t is hardly surpassed by any
other food. As a source OF heat ana
energy Il is equal TO proteids or caroo-
bvdrates. While Il does not act as It's
sue builder, yet It is the most poweriuI
proteid sparer known. being able to save
from destruction half its weight OF pro-
ted. or twice as much as is spared by
an equal amount Of carbohydrate. In the
capacity as a proteid sparer gelatine IN
reality acts as food because by ITS
presence there IS less waste In the sys-
