STEP IN FOOD CONSERVATION
Minnesota Physician Has Discovered
Method of Condensing ButtermIk
and Retaining Nutritive Value.

In a recent interview with DIR. VIII
liam Grclck of ST. Paul, Minn., the
fact was brought out that immense
quantities of buttermilk have been
wasted. Doctor Grrlck Is Il member
of the American Chemical society and
for years has devoted much study to
the milk problem. AS result of his
efforts Il method has been discovered
for condensing buttcrmilk into semi
solid smooth substance of the consist
ency of ice cream.
All the nutritive value of the but
tcrmilk is conserved in this product,
and it is especially suitable for use in
bread making. From eight to ten
pounds of this material when added to
Il barrel of flour produce 4 loaf of
greater food value. The milk protein
helps to make up the deficiency in our
present-day flour substitutes. The
vitamines of the buttcrfat help to de-
fine the structure of the bread. besides
producing an agreeable milk flavor;
and the sugar of milk, aside from be-
ing of great food value, when COM
bined with the deXtrin in flour makes
Il fine brown crust ut Il comparatively
low baking temperature. 1t saves
fuel and prevents unnecessary loss OF
