EvAPoRATED MILK FOR ARMY
Federal Food Inspectors Watch Fac.

prepared BY tho United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Federal food inspectors Of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture
are giving special attention to fac
tories where milk is condensed or
evaporated for use Of the allied
armies and for consumers ct home.
Condensed or eyaporated milk is q
most important article Of food even in
peace times. It 3 used by bakeries
and confecttonerfes, and in feeding
babies and the sick, as wen as being
used as a general substitute for fresh
milk wherever the raw milk cannot be.

tty.
In time of war, evaporated milk be-
comes necessity, because It can be
transported with ease and will keep
reasonable time under, conditions
where it is impossible to obtain OF
keep fresh milk. AS much as 80 per
cent Of the output Of many large fac
tories is being shipped overseas for
the use Of the allied armies.

condition of factories where milk is
condensed or evaporated, sterilized
and canned. Samples Of the raw milk
as received at the factories are taken
for analysis by chemists and bae-
teriologists to see that it is clean and
wholesome and that it possesses the
proper proportion of butterfat and 9TH
er ingredients. The processes of evap-
grafton. sterilization, and canning are
studied; samples Of the finished evap-
grated product are taken for examine
ton In order that it may be deter
mined whether the evapOrated milk
has been condensed to the proper con-
stituency, contains the right food ele-
ments, and is clean and wholesome.
The contents of the cans are weighed
and compared with the amount stated
on the labels. The labels on the cans
are critically studied to see that there
is no misbranding or false statements
made regarding the quantity, the quail
ity, or the strength of the evaporated
milk.
Inspectors of the various states CO.
operate with the federal food inspec-
tors in this work. The federal food
and drugs act applies only to ship.
ments of foods that enter interstate
or foreign commerce. State inspectors
haye jurisdiction over products made
and sold wholly within the state.
The joint authority of the federal
and state inspectors often enables
them, working together, to correct
abuses which either working alone
could not reach. Adulterated or mis-
branded condensed milk, when shipped
into interstate or foreign commerce,
may be seized under the federal food
and drugs act, and the manufacturer
or other responsible party may be
prosecuted under the criminal sections
Of the law. The state food inspectors
have authority, under the law of some
states, to require insanitary factories
to close until put into sanitary condi-
ton.
Evaporated or condensed milk, as
defined for the guidance of the officials
in enforcing the food and drugs act,
must be made from whole, fresh, clean
milk, and contain not less than 25.5
per cent of total solids, and not less
than 10 per cent of milk fat.

Petrograd, Saturday, Jan. 26.-By

Of the Russian delegation at the Brest-

day to the Associated Press that the
conference with the Germans on the

their position showed they expect Rus

losses, which they had suffered as the
result of laws passed by Russia, but

The Germans argued that all contri-

tories as well as all reauisitions We're
for supporting order and consequently,
should not be refunded. The German
members said the Russian plan Tor
