MILK FOR BA
TERMILK FOR ADULTS
All authorities on dletr Bay that
milk is a perfect food. This is true
In a sense; and in another it 1b alto-
gether untrue and misleading.
The natural food of the infant is
mother’s milk. But the appalling mor-
tality of infants is due chiefly to the
use of cow’s milk, carrying the seeds
of disease from the cow, the air and
water, and planting them in a soil
ma0e favorable by improper feeding,
lack of fresh air, bathing and ex-
* ercise. Not even cereal starch kills
imore infants between the ages of one
and six than does milk In the first two
years.
Cow’s milk differs materially from
the infant’s natural food, containing
twice as much proteid and only about
half as much sugar, but the danger
lies more in the contamination of the
milk sold in the cities. Fortunately
good work is being dene in many
places to remedy this evil.
Milk is called the perfect food be-
cause it contains all the elements nec-
essary for the growth of the infant,
and in the proper proportion. But the
physical constitution and development
of the Infant differ much from those
of the adultt and the food should dif-
fer accordingly. i
The growth of the infant in the
first six years is rapid, and a lhrge
proportion of lime is necessary to
build the bony framework. Milk is
in this respect an appropriate food tot
the infant and inappropriate for the
adult. The lime of milk being little
needed for maintaining the bony
framework of the adult, is largely de-
posited in the arteries, contributing to
the distinctive disease of old age—
hardening of the arteries.
The prime cause of hardening of the
arteries, which is also a cause of
"heart failure” and of certain forms
of insanity, Is auto-intoxication, or self-,
..........resulting,.. trust
sorption of waste matter from the
lower part of the alimentary canal, of
which I shall have mor% to say in deal-
ing with “Bread,” in a. subsequent ar-
ticle.
Deficiency of iron in the blood of the
adult is serious; the percentage of
iron in cow’s milk is small, corre-
sponding to the nervous inactivity of
the infant. In this particular milk is
a very unsatisfactory adult diet,
though it sustains life indefinitely.
But the unsuitability of milk to the
adult is more evident on comparing
the infant with the adult anatomy and
physiology: In the infant, for in-
stance, the upper part of the alimen-
tary canal is almost & straight tube,
allowing the milk to pasB quickly to
the intestine, which is adapted to its
digestion. The adult stomach is a
deeply curved pouch, which in certain
abnormal conditions retains the food
for several hours longer than the
proper time for digestion. The fer-
mentation of milk alone is not always
serious, but the fermentation of meat,
cereals and fruits in the stomach,
through the agency of milk, leads to
serious results.
The proportion of iron in the blood
is very email, but very important
When it is found to be deficient, it is
very difficult to supply It. Probably
its best source
wheat which
tine patent white flours, of which we
shall speak later. ■ Grapes; the
brown part of wheat, cabbage (raw)
and lettuce readily supply iron.
It has been found that person! living
exclusively on milk lack “sand,” a
quality which the infant never needs
to display, since it is absolutely de-
pendent
In the infant the liver is relatively
much larger and more activ* than lit
the adult. In a number of cases in
which the results of an exclusive milk
diet were found to be injurious, the
liver was weak and inactive, as indi-
cated by sallow skin, jaundiced eyes
and interna] indications. In such
cases, as a rule, unfermented grape
juice, pineapples, lemons and oranges
are Indicated. Sweet milk ia always
injurious in these cases in adults.
In flesh-eating animals the stomach
and liver are much larger in propor-
tion than in the vegetable-eaters. An
apparent exception is found in the
ruminating animals, like the cow,
which gathers a large quantity of food
and stores it in the first of a series of
stomachs for future cheWng. The de-
velopment of the food tube indicates
the food adapted to the animal. Al-
though the infant digestive organs aro
better adapted to milk than the adult’s,
they are not perfectly adapted to
cow’s milk. To feed a dog or a child
of two years on “what we eat our-
selves” indicates a sympathetic but
thoughtless disposition.
Sterilized or boiled milk is open to
the same objection as roasted peanuts.
Its vitality, its real life-giving quali-
ties are largely destroyed.
It is most unfortunate that our peo-
ple are ignorant of the value of goat’s
milk, especially for infant feeding.
The goat is the healthiest of all ani-
mals and the slowest to degenerate
when domesticated. Rarely, if ever,
Is the goat known to contract tuber-
culosis or any other disease. The
milk is superior in every way to cow’s,
and the poorest can own a "poor man’s
cow,” which can be fed on the potato
peelings, cabbage leaves or anything
else that is clean.
Hardly any other food is compat-
ible with milk, except uncooked,
whipped eggs, rice or toasted bread.
Flesh meat, being a stomach food, is
particularly inharmonious with milk.
The JewiBh instructions on diet pro-
hibit eating meat and milk together,
though this may be for an ethical
reason.
The writer has recently made sev-
eral days’ tests of an exclusive milk
diet on himself and others, carefully
recording results. A change from
the ordinary mixed diet to any mon-
odiet is benefieial, and milk is not
an exception. But the benefits de-

be credited to tWmbnodiet, avoiding
the injurious effects of mixing several
incompatible foods at the same meal.
Equally satisfactory results can be
shown from many other monodiets—
even the peanut, which is the most
concentrated of all foods, containing
an excess of albumen. Great gains
have been reedrded from exclusive
diets of beans, oatmeal, wheat, etc., as
well aB milk, pursued for 60 days or
more.

Prof. Metchnlkoff, head of the Pas-
teur institute, who has made most
praiseworthy investigations into the
causes of our early decay, has con-
cluded that the failure of the average
man to live his natural term of life,
100 years, is due to the development
of pathogenic germs in the lower part
of the food tube from improperly di-
gested, superfluous food, and recom-
mends the use of buttermilk as an
antidote.
The chief causes of the offending
conditions in the colon, the large intes-
tine, leading to a constant poisoning
of the stream of life, are: Too much
food, eaten hurriedly; too much starch
and not enough fruit, and bad combi-
nations of foods, good in themselves.
Buttermilk is not a natural corrective
of these abnormal condition g although
an antidote, nor
good in -a w&-y,
the true remedy; the canse should be
removed.
It has been Bald that “wine is the
milk of age," and of unfermented wine
this is true.. The grape contains much
sugar, acid and iron, which are de-
ficient in milk. The most noted case
of prolonged life in history, that of
Cornaro, the Venetian nobleman in the
sixteenth century, was due to a uni-
form diet, consisting chiefly ot unltc-
mented wine with an egg daily. The
egg supplied the fat, sulphur and al-
bumen deficient in the ‘Tight wine,"
or grape juice. Broken down at 40 by
indulgence in eating and drinking, Cor-
naro lived to be more than 100 by sim-
ple living.
You can make the best buttermilk
any day in your own kitchen. And
there is nothing better for digestive
disorders, and especially for intestinal
troubles, or as a substitute in infuse
feeding, in certain cases.
You can get at the drug store tab-
lets containing the lactic acid bac-
terium culture that will convert sweet
milk into full cream buttermilk by
simply dropping a tablet into a quart
bottle of milk and maintaining the
proper temperature, according to the
instructions. Not only because thin
full cream buttermilk contains the fat
in emulsified form is it better than the
buttermilk you buy of the butter-
milk man, but because the lactic acid
bacterium prevents the development
of injurious bacteria in the milk. This
is important in the case of infants.
Cholera infantum, some forms of
diarrhoea and perhaps typhoid can be
avoided in this way. Here is the most
important practical application of the
germ theory yet made, a boon for in-
fant humanity, a recovery in some de-
gree of the loss due to departing from
nature in infant feeding as a result
of departing from nature in other
ways.
It has long been known that butter-
milk is a valuable food medicine-
even when soured by lightning. We
can not always command the thunder,
but science has discovered how to
make buttermilk without, a churn and
without lightning, and without sepa-
rating the buffer. Butterless butter-
milk is good, full-cream buttermilk is
better in most cases.
Cow’s milk is digested by the infant
with difficulty, often resulting in com-
plete breakdown of the digestive and
nervous system; but the adult diges-
tive system is not so well adapted to
the digestion of milk and hence flatu-
lence and absolute revulsion often re-
sult from its continued use. But
buttermilk causes no such difficulties,
because it is in a sense largely pre-
digested, the coarser curds of the
casein in cow’s milk being finely
brokqn up. - pmm •

to cow's milk as a diet for infants and
as an ideal monodiet for adults in
severe stomach and bowel troubles.
A certain amount of fat is necessary
to the best conditions for normal
nutrition, and fat is about 2% times
more valuable as a heat and energy
producer than other forms of carbon;
and of the fats, butter is the most
easily assimilated, except peanut and
olive oil. But emulsified as the fat is
In milk, it is much more easily assimi-
lated than as butter. For this reason,
and for others, the new way of making
buttermilk gives a much more nutri-
tious product and more digestible, es-
pecially for the infant.
Cow’s milk cannot be made Identical
with the Infant's natural food, but it
can be approximated to it. The chief
difficulty to be overcome is to adapt
the large curds that tend to remain in
the stomach longer than they should,
as the development of the calf’s Btom-
ach requires that its food shall have
a much heavier curd than that re-
quired by the infant in which intes-
tinal digestion is more Important. The
use of buttermilk tablets obviates this
difficulty, besides overcoming other
objections to the use of cow’s milk.
But the objection naturally arises
that soured milk is not natyggL -The
reply is t'uffTWW’s milk is not natural.
Certainly tests of buttermilk hate
proved it' Very satisfactory.

DO NOT MAKE GOOD WIVES.
College Woman Grilled by Men Who
Think Them Masculine.

Do college-bred women make good
wives or do they not? A discouraging
number of men lean to the negative,
If testimony gathered by Annette Aus-
tin is to be taken as representative.
The reasons given by the testifiers are
many and various.
"The college girl is too religious,”
says one man. “She is always push-
ing a spiritual hobby under your
nose."
"Too masculine," complains an-
other. “Not content to resemble a
boy in tastes and disposition, but
must dress like him.”
Of kindred mind is a third critic.
•*Hard, brainy, fisty," he tersely de-
scribes the-collage girl. “Resembles
a 14-year-old boy more than anything
in nature, and always will.”
A New York physician brings a
number of counts against the college
pit “Inadsptable in the marriage
relation,” he sayB. “Her intolerance
is directed especially against men.
. . . Seclusion in college breeds a
distorted idea of marriage and of the
sex relation in general, and it is to
this class ignorance that much mis-
ery in the marriage relation is trace-
able.”
Another man, an author-physician,
is even gloomier. ,
‘The tendency to withdraw into her-
self, to shun marriage and to seek a
career, which is particularly notice-
able of the college-bred woman, is a
manifestation of a deep-seated abnor-
mality, the results of a misdirected
training in a freak institution." That
Is only one of the things the anther-
physician says. In particular he is
bitter because a college girl—he be-
lieves—wouldn’t marry a man who
add: Tt’s him."—Good Housekeep-
