Capability to do those two things is what determines whether any par- | ticular substance is a food and how valuable a food. | The article on “Food Values” (which appeared in The Literary Digest, March 2, 1918) discussed this matter at greatest length. But the case was summarized there by the statement that the value of foods depends upon their power to accomplish three things: (1) The satisfying of the appetite, HE operator is human; she makes mis- takes, though not frequently.

WHAT MILK CONTAINS. | First of all, milk furnishes an extensive supply of the most valuable pro- | teins. Protein, you will recall, is the body-building material, indispensable also for body-repairing. It may be called structural. And that very fact in- dicates its importance to children. Nor is there any other food as good as milk for supplying protein to children. In spite of the fact that it is about seven-cighths water, a quart of milk contains an ounce of balanced protein— that is, an amount equal to what is found either in four eggs, from six to eight ounces of medium fat meat, four ounces of whole-milk cheese, six i of dried navy-beans, or a twelve-ounce loaf of white or whole-wheat read. : Along with protein, milk also gives the body energy or fuel to burn. In addition to the plentiful supply of fat in its cream, milk contains carbohy- drates in the shape of sugar. Thus, whole-milk is made up about as follows: ElEEUELELIELELIELRUELIELIE l=2n2n=2n2n2n2ni2n2n2niani2n:an SELES UEURLU SUES ElElUELlUELUEl (pir=igie=igir=lyi=iyi=ipie=ipielyie=lpimipi=ip i= p= p= El =] a ron Gl Bos FINE LINE TOILET ARTICLES Se SR § AND SUNDRIES This analysis varies somewhet with the breed of cows. |B _ The remaining fraction of 1 per cent. of the milk contains mineral salts B which are of great importance for the structure of the bones and for regulat- ing bodily processes. Milk contains little iron, but with that one exception it furnishes in the most perfect form all the salts, such as lime, which the body must have. : _ And, finally, milk provides those all-valuable substances termed vita- mines, so necessary to promote growth and sustain life. The completeness of milk, the many-sidedness of its nutritious qualities, makes it an admirable substitute for other kinds of food. THE IDEAL FOOD FOR CHILDREN. __ From such close examination of the materials which go to make up milk, it is easy to see why it is so valuable a food for growing children—in fact, the most valuable. It is not merely because of its structural proteins and ’ mineral salts, its fuel fat and sugar, and its stimulating vitamines, but be- cause of the balanced relations between these, and because of its easy diges- . EE RT ETE tibility, that milk is so essential to health and growth .in childhood and youth. That is why every household in which there are children should be a household in which there is milk in abundance. Of course we refer to Potato: Bugs THE MATTER OF COST.
