DAIRY PRODUCTS.

| Frances 4. Freeman. Professor Of Home
Economics, y. Of MI
The dairy products constitute one OF the
most important groups OF food known.
Milk and its products, chiefly butter and
cheese, constitute about one-sixth Of the
total food Of the average family. Cheese
10 believed to be the oldest Of the dairy
| products ana the first form in which milk
was prepared for future use. Although Il
has been = staple article OF food with
many races for years, there il . wide-
spread belief, which IL entirely erroneous,
that II 10 Of value only in small amounts
~ an accessory to the diet.
Perhaps no food from the animal king
dom 10 eaten more commonly In ali
countries or served in greater variety Of
ways than eggs.
The average composition OF milk 10 20
per cent. protein, per cent. fat. per
cent. milk sugar and per cent. mineral
salts. The actual nutri,ivc value depends
to quite large extent upon the peculiar
types OF these constituents present. The
isctose or milk sugar 10 in solution and Is
less liable TO ferment than cane sugar.
The fat 10 already cmuisifcd, hence IL
more rcadily available than fats OF other
foods, with the exception OF eggs.
The protein Is in the best form for
storage and contains those compounds
most necessary for growth and main
tenancc. The most important mineral
salts in the diet are calcium phosphorus
and iron. These occur in milk in . form
most easily utilized by the body. Calcium
content Of the diet depends mainly upon
milk. 1t - fairly economical food when
compared to other animal foods. APP
proximateiy one quart Of milk Is equiva-
lent In fuel value to one pound OF steak or
to eight or nine eggs. Milk should be
staple article OF food, especially for the
growing child, one quart per day not be-
ing an excessive amount.
Cheese Is . very concentrated food,
being approximately third water,
one-third fat, and one-fourth protein.
II lacks carbohydrates tsugar and starcul
hence IL should be served with foods high
In these constituents, a. rice, potato, |
bread, etc. II contains no indigestible /
material, 80 should be served In . meal /
which contains bulky foods, ss the green /
vegetables. These supply bnlk or ballast /
which is necessary for intestinal per-
istaisis.
Cheese il spoken OF As being insisezti- /
BILE, meaning case OF digestion. This is I
partly due to serving cheese al the end OF
a meal already sufficient, or 10 improper 4
preparation. 1t should be served IS an /
integral part OF the meal, replacing the /
meat which is also a high protein food. |
In preparing IL, digestion Is furthered II /

are observed. 1t may be served inter- /
chsngea bly, with meat and fish, and should i

Dear AuHi Aadee and Sisters Of the ". b. c..
Suppose you will meet tomorrow at the
annual reunion. aud how ! wonld love TO be
with you and see the old and new faces. But
that is impossible. as / have been 8 shut-in
for more than six weeks. On July Q, as ypu
probably have heard. tripped. caught my
foot on piece OF wire, aud fen. disioeating
my ankle. and breaking two bones in my
right leg Just above the ankle. It was one
week before the Limb could be set, owing TO
its being badly swollen. Then. I was
taken in car up town. and had two X-ray
photographs taken Of the injured member.
On account Of weak heart. the physicians
could administer no ether, so had TO bear
the pain while they pulled the bones IN place.
Talk about agony. thought l had realized
pain before, out never anything like that
Then another x-ray was taken to make sure
the bones were all in place. which, 70 nay
qualification, proved satisfactory. l have
suffered great deal OF pain Al times, bnt am
real comfortable at present and my limo is
growing stronger each day. but think II will
be many weeks before eau walk again. The
ligaments are badly torn and my ankle will.

hands, ane have done q lot OF sewing, knit
ting, and many other kinds OF work, and read
a great deal besides.
ore familiar face you viii miss. that OF

hospitable home, and what royal welcome
we always received from her John and her
self. How he must miss her. and as We were

have been blessed with many letters from
relatives and friends. also an abundance Of
beautiful flowers. Had large box from a
young lady in Ciaremont. ". H.. last night,
and As the woman was q stranger to me, th~
flowers were especially welcome.
Did you know our house was struck by
lightning Monday night and very badly dam
ageds You will probably see an account Of q,
in THE AMERICAN Our attic was struck; the
rafters torn away and split into kindlings;
three double windows that were stored in the
attic we're smashed; one chamber had plaster
ing torn away and pictures thrown to the
foor. room down ON the ground floor was
badly damaged. The telephone was torn
from the wall, and the lightning stripped
paper from another room, near the ceiling and
ON the wallis. My husband, who was sleeping
in one Of the rooms. received a shock which
dazed him for time. A lamp that was burn
ing was extingGished. and for time we were
left In total darkness. The air was full of
sulphurous fumes. and, all in ali, it was a
trying experience. the like Of which / hope
never to see again We consider ourselves
fortunate. however. in not having the house
catch IRE. but we were terribly frightened
OF course.
