persOn for whose use a new Farmers
Bulletin, No. 1907, Milk and Its Uses
in the Home, has recently been issued
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture. Milk is Indispensable in
the diet of children, because its solids
are in such form that they can be
easily utilized by the body, and be-
cause it is one of the best sources of
the lime needed to build bone and
teeth, and of vitamine A, substance
essential to health and normal growth.
For adults also milk is an important
supplementary food. 1t should be
given scrupulous care in the home.
Milk and Its Uses.
Milk is an important food, because 1t
contains proteins for tissue forming fat
and sugar for body fuel, and minerals
particularly phosphorus and lime, Tor
building and repairing bones and other
tissues. Milk is much richer in lime
than most other common foods. A cup
full of milk, says the bulletin, contains
at least seven times as much lime az
two medium sized potatoes, and nearly
twenty times as much lime as two
slices of white bread or four ounces
Of average beef. This Is one OF thf
reasons why it is such an eXcellen
food for children for bone and tootl
building.
Vitamines are recently discovered

WAY TO WASH HANDKERCHIEF
To Prevent silk From Turning Yellow
No Boiling Should Be Done
DRY In the Sun.

To prevent silk handkerchiefs from
turning yellow when washed, no soap
should be rubbed on the silk, no soda
should be mixed with the water, and
the handkerchiefs should on no &C.
count be boiled. A hot, thick soapy
lather made with finely shredded soap
should be used for cleaning the band
kerchiefs, which should be thoroughly
freed from all soap by rinsing in
plenty Of cold water and when most
of the water has been pressed out
they should be dried, if possible, IN
the sun.

straight lines have been chosen, un'

Vitamine B is thought to prevent poly
neuritis and beriberi. Milk is excep-
tionally valuable for providing vita
mine A, and supplies vitamlne b in
abundance. Perfectly fresh, raw milk
often supplies vitamine G, but its
scurvy-preventing power may be lost
when it is heated or aged.
Each child should have full quart
of milk a day, if possible.
Reasons for Pasteurization.
While certified raw milk is usually
the cleanest milk obtainable, 1t usually
costs a little more than ordinary milk.
Good pasteurized milk is satisfactory
for children, if the juice Of oranges,
canned or raw tomatoes, or certain
other vegetables and fruits is given
to provide vitamine c. Directions # for
home pasteurization are given IN the
bulletin, together with an explanation
of how bacteria get into milk, the
harm they cause, and the effect OF
careless handling upon them.
A great many kinds Of bacteria nave
been found in milk. Some OF them
cause tire formation of tactic acid,
which gives sour milk its characterls'
tic flavor, while others cause milk to
putrefy if allowed to stand long
enough. The bacteria that causes Sc
rious diseases may also get into milk,
and are sometimes spread in this way
resulting in epidemics. Especial pre-
cautions as to cleanliness on the part
of those who produce and handle milk
are strongly urged.

The greatest single source OF loss
