Your Chairs and 1ine

source of merriment for the funny page but it
is anything but joke to the man who pays and
the baby who depends on it for body fuel and
building materials. About 90 per cent of the
nutriments Of milk are digested and used by
the body, whereas most other foods present
large proportions of waste and indigestible in
gradients.
There has been much arguing concerning the
standards for milk because different breeds OF
COWS give milk varying quite widely IN fat
content. and what is representative in one case
might be a watered product in another. The
protein (mostly casen) runs about 3.3 per
cent and the milk sugar about per cent, with
OF per cent of mineral ingredients but the fat
may vary from per cent or even less IN the
Holstein to per cent or more with the Jersey.
An average of per cent is usually quoted, but
this is probably low.
While milk offers all Of the four necessary
food ingredients in about the proper proper
tions, the peculiarly available form in which
they are offered is the main point, and while
OF per cent of ash or minerals may seem neg
ligible, it appears that this amount is essential
to the building of teeth and bones and the nor
nal functioning of the body.
WHY MOTHERS MILK is UNEQUALLED.
incidentally, it's bao enough for the child to
have even cows milk instead of mothers milk

With this important mineral content we have
about per cent of fat for energy and warmth,
and 3.5 per cent of casein and albumen, pro
teins in their most available and desirable form
for building tissue; carbohydrates to about
per cent in the form of milk sugar-less sweet
than sucrose and less apt to ferment in the
stomach just because it is more slowly split up
during digestion--and the whole well balanced
compound offered in such form that it can be
tolerated in large quantities and continuously.
As Harry Lauder would say, aye Gamma beat

10 build the body, with the minimum of waste. Is
it not worth while to guard its production
iealousy all along the line? A woman can per
form no more valuable service TO her commu-
nifty than to keep a careful eye on milk produc-
ton and demand that it be painstakingly per-
feet. But she must do her part by caring for
the milk in the home and paying the extra
price of production

The question of "vitamnes" arises, aad the

a lack Of vitamines when pasteurized milk is

We know that good engines are destroyed

proposition, the raw milk of necessity partakes
more closely of the vitality and uncontested
superiority of the mothers milk. The pas

two evils-and far preferable it is when the
milk supply cannot be controlled.
For sterilized milk cheated to boiling, 2l2

Moreover, actual boiling is not necessary to

VALUE OF MILK AS FOOD.
Mix is a convincing protest against the con
centrated food fetch. There is 81 per cent
water in this perfect food-and sad to relate,
there are scores of court cases piled up against
those who add more water thereto or take the
butterfat therefrom and sell the attenuated
products as whole milk" Not that skim milk
is to be despised. 1t is an admirable food and
a very cheap source Of tissue building mate
rial when sold as it should be, under It's own
name and at half the price of whole milk.
The protein costs about one-fourth as much IN
this form as when eaten in the form of beef.
1t must always be remembered that only small
amounts Of concentrated food can be tolerated,
and again they are less perfectly assimilated.

An Interrupted Game of Cards.

An interrupted Game or CARDS.
While the oncoming horde of Ger
mans had been pushing their way
through Belgium, smashing forts.
burning villages, terrorizing the peace
loving inhabitants OF that little coun-
try, the French and English had done
what they could to prepare for the
impending shock Of the Teuton attack.
The worst of it was, the Germans
We're ready, and the allies were not.
The British expeditlonary force num-
bered but a handful of men, compared
to the hosts from across the Rhine.
But that thin red line of 'eroes"-
only they were uniformed in khaki
now-set about its superhuman task
with bulldog determination. They had
swept out as far as they dared to
meet the invader. And then they in
trenched themselves; and there they
waited.
That was the worst part Of it all
the waiting. Heart-rending reports OF
happenings in many Belgian villages
came to the British, for Courvoisier
was only one Of many hamlets that
had tragedies to relate. And the Brit
