WHAT is EvAPoRATED MILK7

Did you ever stop to figure out ths
exact meaning of "Evaporated Milk.
The word "eyaporated" may give yol
the idea that in the process of evapo
ration the milk has lost some of its
valuable qualities. Ii hasn't. 1t has
lost only water. Sixty per cent of tn,
water is evaporated from the milk
after it comes fresh from the COW
The first slep in processing the mill
Is the evaporation, when a portion o.
the water content is removed. The
second step is the homogenization
which insures the cream being dis
tributed evenly throu- bout the milk
The third is the canning. The fourtl
is sterilization, which takes place in
the can when the milk is subjected t,
sufficient heat to destroy the bacteria
Thus evap0rated milk remains as pure
and fresh in the container as when il
foamed into the pail in the farmers
barn.
Evaporated milk Is now general,
recognized as the freshest milk avail
able to those not living on farms anr
producing their own milk For fresh
ness in milk means purity.
Transportation of milk from the
dairy country to the city is well syste
matized and rapid and yet owing IL
the immense quantities of milk thar
must be rushed in daily, much of il
must be obtained at considerable dis
tances and large per cent is neces
sarily some days old when ii is de
livered by the milkman.
Evaporated milk, on the other hand
is last nights nd this mornings milk
From the dairy barn, always undei
rigid inspection, it is hurried by farm
ers to factories located in the heart OF
the dairy country and delivered whel
it is fresh. Evaporated milk is canned
just at Its Freshest moment" wher
1t is in its finest state Ii is never
allowed to get old The whole prov.
ess from COW to can requires only 8
few hours. 1t may be interesting &c
know that the process of steriliziDg
takes place after the milk has beer
sealed in Its containers. Once in lis
sterilized containers, there is no DOS
sibility Of deterioration.
The sterilizing of evaporated mills
insures its purity--it makes d safe
milk for the children. Evaporatad
milk is boiled milk, and this makes II
more digestible.
1t may be used for any milk need
with safety and economy
For ordinary cream needs, use il
just as it comes from the can. When
a rich milk is desired, add an equal
part of water. For cooking and bak-
ing, two parts water and one part milk
win usually suffice.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
By F. "A. WALK E r
THE SUBTLE SPIDER

HIDDEN in some dark corner, or
IL perhaps right before your eyes
the spider spins his silken web in
which to entangle and destroy his I'M
wary victim.
Whether you believe it or not, you
are watched every hour of your earth
ly existence by some sort Of vicious.
spider planning to entrap you
If you are less watchfu than he,
If you do not take account of your
words and actions and make a men,
tai note of the trifling web-like things
which are happening all about you,
the spider will eventually outwit you.
And when once you become en-
meshed in his invisible web a great
sense of fear will descend upon you
with the weight and swiftness Of
raging deluge, Of whose existence you
did not before believe to be possible.
Falling into the spiders web is one
of the deplorable misfortunes of the
human kind. Everybody in life, from
the rosy-cheeked schoolgirl to her
mature parents, is liable to become en-
tangled for the spider is no respecter
OF youth or age.

eye, a musical voice, a beaming coun-
tenance, an uncomfortable greed for

prove to be the flowing thread of the
terrible web flung out by passing
breeze to entrap you
"Now," says the spider, as he spins
another thread to make your captivity
more certain, now | am in position to
continue our discussion"
Up to this moment you have sue
ceeded in eluding him.
And in your fancied security as
likely as not you have tainted and
derided him, so now he is bent on
knocking you, quite ready to resume
the discussion
But the manhood in you is going to
outwit him.
You are going to wean from him
his subtle power, by warning the
world from your housetop to beware
of his silken web which has through
the ages strangled out love and hope,
washed out eyes with tears and poi
soned hearts until they have festered
and died.

 But when 1t is noted that the shoe heel is an invention of man, and that Nature has furnished our feet with fiat heels, the chiropodists' argument loses weight.
 A person may become so accus- toned to high heels that a change to low heels will cause some dis comfort. This is the explanation for the complaints from women last year about the arches in their feet when they attempted to wear the low-heel shoes that were in vogue.
