MILK "A REAL. FOOD

Milk, being a liquid, is sometimes
classed with water, tea and coffee,
simply as beverage, by those who do
not understand its value as food. This
is great mistake. If all the water
were to be driven Of from a quart of
tea or coffee, almost nothing would
be left, and the little that remained
would have little or no value as food.
If, on the other hand, the water were
driven off from a quart Of whole milk,
there would be left about half a cup
ful of the very best food substances,
including butter fat, kind of sugar
not so sweet as granuiated sugar and
known as milk sugar." and also ma
terials which are needed to make mus
cles, bones, teeth and other parts of
