"a safe and clean place in which to live"
as the literature says 1t expects to have
done so within five years more if the work

a tremendous loss of food value.
Various efforts were made to turn the
skim milk to some use, and finally methods
of driving off the water and separating
the milk solids, the casein, albumen, milk
sugar and ash in the form Of powder or
flakes were invented.
Dry milk so prepared has been used in
many commercial ways during the last
decade by bakers, confectioners and ice
cream manufacturers. Nearly all the so
called milk chocolate products made in
the United States are made with dry milk
powder. Many of the fancy biscuits
whose names are household words contain
this product Some New York ice cream
manufacturers use it. Makers of con-
densed milk also use the dry powder, but
are obliged to mark on their cans that
the product is made from SKINNED milk.
Recently the mechanical COW was in
vented. Already two such bene6cent milk
producers have been installed in New
York under the auspices of the Depart
ment of Markets, one ut the Lenox Hill
House in SiIty-ninth street, which is
capable of producing 5000 quarts of re-
constructed milk daily, and one of smaller
capacity at Greenwich Settlement House.
. The process of making reconstructed
milk from the dry powder is briefly as
follows: For ten gallons or forty quarts
of what is known as SO milk, that is
milk containing SO per cent. Of butter
fat, there must be mixed IT'S pounds Of
milk powder, 1854 pounds Of sweet butter
and 1883 pounds of water.
The water is placed in a glass lined
mixing tank and heated to so degrees F.
by means Of jacket filed with live steam.
The powder is then added and when this
has been dissolved and the temperature
reaches ITO degrees the butter is added.
When las degrees is reached the steam is
closed down and the contents Of the vat
are left for thirty minutes.
This secures perfect pasteurization and
sterilization. Now the liquid goes through
the emulser, tiny revolving wheel which
whizzes around at the rate Of 900 rev.
oluions every minute. Passing out over
he cooler, the milk drips into cans at a
temperature Of 80 degrees, smooth and

printed matter in connection with the
health centre and the clinics.

Mechanical Cow to Benefit New York Babies

DIR. NJ. c. Schroeder, woman chemist
of the New York Department of Health,
has figured out the bacteria contained
in this emulserized product. There are
1850 germs to each cubic centimeter Of
it when it stands at Jag degrees F. After
it has come out Of the cooler it contains
1900 to the cubic eentimeter.
This isn't so bad, says Commissioner
Day, when one considers that the bacterial
count Of New York's finest certified milk
may reach 10000 to the cubic centimeter.
1t augurs well, he believes, for the health
Of the children who drink this pure milk.
Thus the mechanical COW gives to New
York babies right here at home, declares
the Commissioner, product much purer
from a meteorological standpoint than
the milk supplied by dealers. The recon-
structed milk il given to children as soon
as bought has undergone no process Of
chemical change by standing after the
milking as does fresh milk that is trans
ported from New Jersey or Pennsylvania
or Connecticut to New York. This ex-
plains also why the reconstructed milk
will not sour quickly.
New York babies are not the only per.
sons who are to enjoy this new form Of
milk. Uncle Sam has decided that it il
Just the thing for conyalescent soldiers.
The base hospital at Camp Sheridan has
a mechanical COW big enough to make all
the porridges and gruels which its sick
soldier boys can desire. The hospital
ships Mercy and Comfort are also sup
piled with the device, and the battleship
South Carolina is soon to have one. Eff
forts are now being made to send a num-
Der of these cows to supply fresh milk
to the orphans in France.
Whole milk contains S712 per cent. Of
water and 121a per cent. of solids. In
shipment dry milk occupies only one
eighth of the bulk required for liquid
milk. One single barrel of powdered milk
contains all the solid substances to be
found in from twenty to twenty-five forty
quart cans of whole milk.
This compactness In shipment is Of
great importance at the present time.
Moreover the dry powder can be shipped
without ice and there is no danger Of its
spelling under any temperature.

social betterment has appeared elsewhere
in the city. But the fee is a dime, and
the dimeless are treated anyway.
The social experts at the helm of the
B. G. N A. consider health service their
best entree to the lives of the people of
the neighborhood. A neutral medium of
approach, they call it, and believe that
welfare programmes organized around
this medium, as theirs is, are more likely
to be effectual than others.
"This district" said one of them, SIS
small enough to be workable, thus differ
ing from districts in which experiments
have failed chiefly through trying 10 cover
too much ground. 1t is an ideal labora-
tory for the perfection of practical
standard techmc for improving such con-
ditions as we face. Big industrial EN-
ployers everywhere are keenly interested.

That is the higher philosophy of the

chemical composition of the purest whole
fresh milk; it bridges the distance between
the farm and the city, and with the DIS
covery of the process for making it from
dry milk powder there should no longer
be any reason why the children in cities
cannot have those body building sub
stances which they require if they are to
grow strong and healthy.
"The waste milk from the farms and
creaIneries should all be dried, every drop
of it, and shipped to the cities for the
needs of our growing children. This is
measure Of public health as well as
measure of conservation. Milk should not
be fed to stock when other food can be
made to serve just as well. Its food value
should all be made directly available for
human consumption"
Reconstructed milk is exactly what the
name implies. 1t is made by uniting dried
skim milk, water and butter fat in def
mite proportions so that all the elements
of fresh milk are reassembled. 1t tastes
exactly like fresh milk and its bacterial
count is much lower than that of New
York's standard certified milk.
The dried powder which is the basis Of
reconstructed milk contains all the ele-
ments of whole milk (e1cept the water)
left after the butter fat has been taken
out. Nothing has been added to it. SO
that the reconstructed product is not
milk compound or mixture nor an adulte-
ration. It is synthetic milk containing
only natures elements as chemically
determined in whole milk.
When commercial creameries were first
established the skim milk-that is the
liquid remaining after the butter fat had
been removed by the separator for butter
or cheese making-was purely a waste.
In many places it could not be given
away. Creameries were glad to have the
farmers take it away for nothing to feed
their stock. Later it was sold for few
cents q gallon.
But skim milk contains all the bone
making elements Of whole milk, every
thing in fact but the butter fat, and it is
a very valuable food. The Italians use
skim milk for making Parmesan cheese.
Pineapple cheeses are also made from
fresh skim milk. In waste therefore ~

i Used for the children of New York
Hot weather is coming, the kind Of
weather that has been wont to produce
cholera infantum and other summer ills
that send the infant mortality rate soar
ing. But there is chance that this kind
of weather will bring less danger to New
York babies this summer than heretofore.
A new means has been devised to protect
them from the bacteria that Turk in con-
terminated milk.
Commissioner of Markets Jonathan c.
Day and Miss Laura Cauble, the Deputy
Commissioner of Markets, have been plan
ming this protection for the city's children
for several months The new, very up to
date and altogether scientific foster mother
that has been called on to promote the
health of the children is a mechanical COW,
which is expected to furnish so pure a
grade of milk that its use will cause pale
cheeks to grow rosy and dull eyes to be-
come bright.
This milk should build up strong, mus
cular bodies in children that are now
enemic and undernourished, and its cost
will be so low that all children may have
enough. This at least is the hope and ex-
pectation of Commissioner Day and his
associates.
No name for this new form Of milk
has yet been determined upon by the
authorities. Some have wished to call it
ernulserized milk, others reconstructed
milk and the Department of Food and
Drugs has been asked to decide on a
name that shall clearly indicate the quail
ity and character 81 the milk.
Mrs. Mary Schwartz Rose, professor Of
nutrition in Teachers College, is one of
the leading advocates of this new milk,
which is now being sold in Manhattan
under the auspices of the Department Of
Markets and has received commentator
from the Board of Health.
