This powder or Hacked milk can be
shipped to any. place In the world,
for heat or cold does not effect Its
keeping qualities, and by using a
little milk powder and adding GER
tain amount of water you have nice
fresh milk. When the cans of milk
arrive at the factory, a man removes
the covers from each can, to catch
the odor which has risen from the
milk, into the cover. Just Whit Is
all that is necessary for this expert
II there Is any suggestion Of a con-
dition that should not be present in
fresh milk the can Is set aside.
Not only is it rejected, but an in
vestigation is made to find out the
cause of the condition and steps are
taken at once to correct what Is
wrong at the farm or dairy from
which the milk came. That which is
accepted is weighed and emptied into
receiving tanks. 1t is then put into
a cylinder and forced through tiny
pin holes by great pressure, so that
it comes out in the form of mist. The
milk spray enters a room through
which are blown strong currents of
warm air. The milk mist is whirled
about the room just as you have seen
the wind blow clouds of fog, this
warm wind absorbs the moisture in
the milk, and the solid portion falls
like snow in drifts of powdered milk.
Nothing has been removed from the
milk but the water.
The stay at home days of the milk
members of the food family are
surely at an end.
AS we see from this powdered
product, they can travel as far as
their fruit and vegetable relations,
who have been journeying around
the world for long time. Such de-
velopments show the progress
science has made in recent years.
The milk products include various
kinds of cheese, butter, caned milk,
provided and flaked, Condensed
creams. trr.
Food Value
Science holds that milk is the per-
feet food, and about one sixth Of the
total food of the average family is
furnished by its products. 1t con-
tains first materials, which children
need for growth, second material
which young and old alike need for
the repair Of their bodily machinery.
And third the fat material needed
for fuel to provide them with heat
and energy necessary for work. The
most healthful nation Is the one
whose children have plenty of milk.
A knowledge Of food value and the
use Of proper food would save most
of the 100000 children who die an
nually, sacrificed by the ignorance
and neglect of their parents, and
change most of the six million under
nourished and suffering children into
strong bodied boys and girls, capable
of developing strong minds and be-
coming useful in the nation of to-
morrow. There is no problem before
the American public of such great
Importance as the one of properly
feeding and nourishing its people.
Milk and it's products are natures
best foods and all should use more
Of them. Food scientists tell us when
spending $40 for food $4.40 should
be spent for milk and it's products.
Butter, ice cream, and cheese. Noe
family of five should buy meat until
they have bought three quarts of
milk and butter milk, hot cakes are
very nourishing, they are fed to pa
tients in the Chicago hospitals, in
stead of the prepared cereals. Plenty
of milk will help you give all your
children the chance for health they
ought to have. There is no substitute
for butter, butter at rs cents pound
is cheaper than beefsteak at 35 cents
a pound. Butter and cream should be
taken freely by thin, nervous people.
AS they are tissue builders, every
child should be given one quart of
milk day or at least one pint, until
they are twelve years of age. /
Whole milk should be given as the
cream contains the fat necessary for
tissue building. Skinned milk may
be used in numerous ways, in cook
ing and the food will be made nour-
ishing. A group of school children
in Indiana, who were weighed and
those using milk went over
the top. In feeding a baby, cows
milk, sugar should be added as it
does not ferment in the stomach and
this can be gotten at any drug store.
Beware Of colored milk, to tell col
ored milk when the cream rises the
milk will remain yellow and natural
milk the cream will be yellow and
the milk blush. One pound Of but
ter contains. as much nourishment
or real food for the body as Al eggs;
4 pounds of steak, or % pounds Of
canned tomatoes.
No food can take the place Of but
ter, as 1t is more than fat, for 1t
promotes growth and health, in ad-
dition to supplying heat and energy
for the body. Our slogan should be
LESS meat and more milk and its
products" and a cup of hot milk
taken before retiring will promote
sleep, and will help break a cold.
Cheese is the staff Of life in many
nations why not in America?
While there has been good deal
Of agitation about improper food for
children, but little has been printed
the proper kind. An ex-
pert on the subject states that the
most important food for a child is
milk. 1t supplies something for max |
