Philadelphia, Dec'ernlier 1 CANNED MILK AS FOOD To the Hititor of Kveninq Leilgei : Sir I read with considerable Interest tho statement on tnnned milk attributed to Dr William U Griggs In an article ap pearing on the woman's page of j-our p'i per on Krldas lust Cnless Doctor Urlggs Is very much misquoted, his statements are partis If not cntlrelj wrong, ns he Is unfair to sour readers, the consumers and producers of some types of canned milk. Clnbslfylng nil canned milk with bonbons, lobsters and Ugnrcttes as food for babies shows either utter foolishness or a thor ough lack of knowledge on his part. Doctor Wslio asserts that sterll l7etl, unswceteneil, evaporated milk (also packed in cans), when modified, serves ns equal of perfectly fresh milk der conditions which would be nlmoat Im possible in their own homes, retaining tho full food value of tho milk fats, and all other Ingredients. This tlnss of canned milk contains no sweetening, except the until nil milk sugar. It Is processed from pure, fresh cow's milk, and subject to tests before prep irlng that are equally If not moro rigid that the test applied to fresh milk entering Philadelphia under tho present laws The milk Is evnporatcd in vacuum nt n low temperature, and Im mcdlatcls put In clenn cans nnd sealed Steam heat Is applied In the sterllzing Links, with tho cans and contents con stnntls In motion, destroying all bacteria nnd spores. The process insures a perfect sterile milk without the destruction of nny of tho food value Doctor Griggs will lind by nn.tlizlng evaporated milk that tho food value of the butter fats and tho other ingredients are letnlned H I IiOniNSON.
