which ln' ucq austained the tribes. Thia
Just to note that dairying Is the old

Much Information might be offered
, In regard to the use of milk among the
' -ancients, but that la not the pur pone of

, Froportlona of component parts of
i average annual consumption per person
was about 80 gallon. In the face of
these figures, the purpose of thia ar
ttcla Is to consider tha question of milk
" .aa food, from tha point of view of tha
consumer; to shew why It la a valuable
' part of his diet, and under what oondl
. tiona most valuable. Tha Importance
. of such a consideration la ahown by the
, fact that dairy products furnish II per
cent of the total food of tha average

. There are only three things In all the
1 iJWU to eat. - If you should alt down
-- to the meat aumptuoua banquet you
cotfld only be aerved with different
(v forms of fat. proteid and carbohydrates.
:., ; Milk .contslna all theae conatltuents In
. ..; mora nearly the proper proportions to
, . ' , serve ss a complete food than any other
single food material. In this ace of
' domeetlo science, every housewife
knows the composition of milk. But its
ct composition remained long -un-
known, and until tha beginning of the
' . seventeenth century, fat eurd and whey
: .,'.wre the only constituents recognised.
In the early part of tha eighteenth eon
j tury the micreacopioal charaeterlsttea
. .wore discovered, and In I7IT was re
l corded the flret quantitative analyals,
-. A mods by Geoffry, who determined quite
accurately the casein, milk augar and
, ' ft mineral matter. ,
- - The chief bulk of milk la water. Thia,
t Jhowever, is no reflection upon your
milkman. When milk leavea (he cow,
It contains SI per cent water, and fat
' proteid and carbohydrates In about
oqual proportlon-hetwten three per
cent and four per cent. The per eent
of mineral matter, ash, la very email.
Milk contains no waste matter aa do
most fooda and doea contain the three
nutrients neoeesary for the sustenance
ef the human body. Moreover, since
the value of food dependa net only upon
the percentage of nutrients which It
eontalna, but also upon the extent to
which these nutrients are digestible, we
must consider milk from this point.
And we find that milk la one of the
moat dtgnstible of foods.
Aa food for Adults.
While milk la a perfect food for the
young, It cannot be so considered for
adults, for theae reaeona;
tat. The proportion of water la ao
large that great quantities would hsve
to be consumed daily to obtain the ne
cessary nutrlUoji.
Jnd. Proteins are preaent in rather
large quantities aa compared with the
fat and carbohydrates.
3rd. It la a recognised fact that the
digestive functions require that tha
food itself, beajdea tha water taken
with it, shall have a certain bulk,
For the complete nutrition of a
healthy man doing a .moderate, amount
of muacular work about eight plats of
milk would be required dally. That
mesne a tumblerful ef milk must be
swallowed every hour of the workinc
day, Thia necessitates the burdening
of the body with a considerable surpluaj
of water. Milk, then, a by no meana
a food to be uaed to the exclusion of
other articles of food but It is fitted to
upplment tbe deficiencies of other
food.
Milk Is the cheapest aourea of animal
proteid, and proteid la the ingredient
which, more than any other. Is apt to
be deficient In a mixed diet, Sixteen
centa worth ef milk yielda i much pro
teid as 10 cents worth of beef. But
milk baa the advantage over beef of
eontalninc a oonaiderable amount of
carbohydrate in addition to Ita proteid
and fat. with the result that a. Quart of
good milk Is equal In nutritive value to
a pound of beefateak. The food whloh
cornea naareat milk In the amount of
nutriment It eontalna, is oyatera, which
are somewhat richer in their percentage
of proteid. There la no doubt, that while
milk la perhapa not suited to act aa the
sole food of the adult it la one of th
beat and cheapest article of diet we
possess.
With regard to the value ef milk
Jroduots aa articles of diet aa far aa
heir hasting power " butter and
cheese stand at the head ef all foods.
Butter ha twice as much heating
power, weight for weight, aa any other
food except pork and cream oheeae;
while skim milk eheeae exeeeda all the
common fooda in the amount of fleah
forming conatltuents It contains.
In uaing milk aa a food, what we are
deeply and particularly interested In is
to furnish good, pure milk for our
babiea. Portland at the present time
haa a wonderfully good milk aupply,
and this Is dua to our energetic and
capable city milk department, and also
an earneat desire on the part of several
of our progressive dairymen, who have
worked with Intelligence and a large

The effect of food milk en the health
of our babies Is already being shown by
the decreasing amount of sickness and
death among them, particularly 'during
tha warm months. But I cannot leave,
this subject without making a plea for
every mother to nurse her child, if It
Is possible to ao so, Because, even
though we have a pure, milk supply and

The heat substitute for a child's nat
ural food, its mother's milk. Is pure
row's milk, so modified that It will be
suited to the Individual , requirements
of each child, Because each ehtld Is a
law unto itself, and no one formula will
answer the needs of all children even of
the same ace.
Throughout the civilised world every
year three and a half million children
die during their first year, One out of
every four dlea before reaching Me aeo
end birthday. Seven children out of
every hundred on the tareaet die In their
first year. Kifty children out of every
hundred on the bottle die in their first

handling of pure milk In the home.
Therefore, tho end and aim of this pure
