as firm as that from fresh milk. II
constipation results from the use OF
boiled milk, orange or prune juice fol
babies is a simple corrective and there is a
large group of corrective foods for adults.
1t is a matter of common observation
that little kittens are subject to fits
when fed meat, and although little chill
dren may not be seriously affected, they
may be made nervous and irritable by it,
1t is even suggested that the crossness
OF some grown-ups may be due to the
use of too much meat Certainly it is
true that children's muscles make more
rapid growth on proteins from milk than
on that from other foods. And no other
food contains so much lime all ready for
the body to use and at so low cost.
Thoughtful and unselfsh parents are
changing well formed food habits that
the children may have all the milk they
need.
Remember that a quart of milk is
equal in food value to pound of steak.
"A quart of milk day for every child"
is good rule--easy to remember. Bet
ter yet, try to provide quart of milk
a day for every member of the family.
All sorts of delicious combinations can
be made with milk, such as cream of
vegetable soups potato, squash, carrot,
spinach, onion, etc., escalloped vege
tables, meats, fish, rice, macaroni, eggs,
desserts like blanc mango with corn
starch or farina, custards, plain or with
tapioca, rice, corn meal, all sorts of
cheese dishes and countless other ways.
Only thoughtlessness or selfishness can
make the children pay the first and the
worst war tax through taking away the
milk or by reducing the usual quantity
Of this most necessary food. 1t is point.
ed out that bad results of such course
are not seen at once, but come with
ireary slowness not likely to be noticed
Little by little the child's health is un.
1ermined. But even when the break
comes, whether it seems to be due to
disease or to a severe cold,
he real cause may never be imagined
that the child has not had enough food
If the kind that a child needs.
From the point of view of the pocket |
book and from that of patriotism the |
greatest good to the future of the coun. |
Try, milk should be retained or its use
wen increased in the family diet.

A. r. Baxter of Trenton, N. j., is reg.

several days in the Barre granite dis
trict on business connected with his re-

very little unavoidable discomfort has

freshet, the superintendent and a few
of his men were abroad from shutdown

trenches for the rapidly accommodating

first depression of the mercury, and
when it became warmer yesterday, few
if any manholes were plugged and most
of the cutters were open.

MILK A CHEAP FOOD.
Although High Priced, Says Mrs. Dimock
of Vermont Extension Service.

At present high prices, many people
are regarding milk as luxury. 1t is a
necessity. In these days when even pen
MES count to win the war, the food value
of milk should be kept in mind. Mrs.
Dimock, of the extension service of the
University of Vermont, passes along and
endorses the following interesting facts
and admonitions from well known diet
specialists in New York and elsewhere.
Don't begin to save on milk. Children
must have it; adults ought to. Milk
builds bone and muscle better than any
other food.
Two substances absolutely necessary
for growth are found in milk more plen-
tifully than in any other food. One of
these growth getters" is in solution in
the liquid portion of the milk and the
other is in the fat. Butter made from
the cream contains practically half of
the growth getters. Skinned milk has
the other half of these mysterious sub
stances. Cheese retains portion of
them. Skinned milk is better than no
milk, but not nearly so much growth
will be made as when whole milk is fed.
Children who are drinking tea and cof-
fee instead of milk are being deprived of
their most important food and run
chances of growth below normal with
bones that are weakened or crooked.
Although milk is swallowed as liz
uid, in the stomach it becomes a solid
food almost at once The curd which is !
formed by the action of the stomach |
juices may not seem as solid a food as
meat, but it does the same work in the |
body and passes through the body with
out as much of the decay as meats or
other foods undergo. So to use milk |
every day to take the place of some of
the meat is wise move for either peace |
or war time, and especially to be con
sidered for meatless meals.
But some adults and even some babies
have difficulty in dgesting milk. This
occurs in the liquifying of the
rurd formed in the stomach which must /
be liquified as it is digested. To correct
this difficulty, boil the milk. Curd from
boiled milk is not nearly as large, nor
