hundred and sixty died in the last six
months Of the year. The survey indi-
Gated that surprisingly large num-
Der of infants are artifically fed,
which condition, doctors agree, had a
marked bearing on their undernour-
ished conditions. Naturally, no one
food may prove satisfactory in every
case, although the survey showed that
evaporated milk in many cases had
proved an excellent substitute for
mothers milk. This may be explained
by reason of the fact that evapOrated
milk is simply pure, concentrated cows
milk from which 60 per cent Of the
water has been removed. 1t contains
practically every element necessary
for good health and is consequently
an excellent builder of bone and It's
sue.
Although authorities on health rec
ommend evaporated milk as baby
food, like other substitutes for the
natural supply, it should not be con-
sidered as a food complete in itself.
Addition of orange or tomato Juice,
barley water or lime water is impor-
tant in providing adequate diet for
the infant.
For babies, milk Of dependable pur-
ity is essential Market milk will not
keep for any length of time and is also
liable to contamination, especially in
hot weather, while evaporated milk,
Theoretically sealed in sterilized con-
tainers, remains as fresh and pure as
on the day it was canned.
Sterility. in evaporated milk, author.
tiles agree, is one of the most impor-
tant points in it's favor. In process
ing, evaporated milk is subjected to
24O degrees heat for a half hour,
thereby removing all, possibility Of
bacterial life being present in the
milk. Heat is the only preservative
for this type of milk and the heat has
the further beneficial effect of max
ing the curds of milk more .fiOcculent
and easier to digest.

IN THE HILLS OF PARADISE

: One Balmy day in August
The sun was shining bright,
A school ma'am entered at the door
Who wished lunch so light.
1t was in the town of Carson,
Where all the folks are wise,
She said she owned the XO ranch
In the hills of Paradise.
I had heard the folks all say
The crops down there were grand.
So figured, like the gambler,
Luck was playing in my hand.
l asked at once for employment,
She took me by surprise
And employed me for her XO ranch
In the hills of Paradise.
We left the town of Carson
On our journey southwark bound,
For that's the trail we must take
If the XO ranch be found.
The horses they were foot sore,
The roads anything but nice;
At last we found the XO ranch
In the hills of Paradise.
We arose next morn at daybreak
AS all other ranchers do.
The barn, it had no side walls,
And just a stall or two.
The pigs were in the dooryard,
Thin and understood.
That's She way at the XO ranch
In the hills of Paradise.
For breakfast we had FLAP jacks"
And out again to see
The thoroughbred Herefords
And white Leghorns sixty-three.
The old gobbler he was angry,
And very large in size,
For he was raised on the XO ranch
In the hills of Paradise.
She runs bunch of horses,
Some sixty-one or two;
Some are sorrels, some are black,
And most are agey, too.
They run and snort and watch me,
With wide and staring eyes
Because I'm strange at the XO ranch
In the hills of Paradise.
I've worked here now for near six
weeks,
Building fence, and barn,
Moving hay, feeding hogs,
And hauling in the corn.
A man can work till the day is
done,
And from dusk until sunrise,
There'd still be work on the XO
ranch
In the hills of Paradise
