In Japan there is said to be a very
satisfactory substitute for milk, just
rs the nut margarines are a substi-
tute for butter. Cows are very scarce
in japan and the people are using
an artificial milk derived from the
soy bean. The bean is first soaked
and then boiled until the liquid
turns white, when sugar and phos-
phate of potash are added. The
boiling is resumed until the liquid
has the appearance of ordinary con-
densed milk. When water is added
soy milk is hardly to be distinguish
ed from fresh cows milk.
