How T o Keep Well

The nearest thing one can get to a
balanced ration in one food is milk.
A glassful of milk. that is. five
ounces. contains approximately 100
calories of fuel value. it contains
protein. carbohydrates. and fat. and
in addition valuable fern-tents that
aid in digestion. '
It is rich in organic salts mid vita-
mlnes. those compounds which are
so important and necessary to hu-
man health.
There are few normal digestive
systems which have any trouble
with pure milk provided the. milk is
taken into the body slowly and pro-
vided too large a quantity of milk
is not taken at one time. In severe
cases of acid stomach it may be
necessary to add vichy. bicarbonate
of soda. or limo water.
Milk is more digestible if it is
taken alone between meals.
You should remember also that
no other food requires such scrupu-
lous cleanliness at every step. Bac-
teria are as fond of milk as most
intelligent humans and a great
number of infections may be spread
through unclean milk.
You can understand the import-
ance of clean production better if
you realize that. even the taste of
milk is affected by the food of the
. cow and by lack of cleanliness.
Watch Ice Cream.
Ice cream. which is a favorite
milk product, depends of course for
its food value upon its composition.
If improperly made. ice cream may
.be of poor quality and it may be
made under unsanitary conditions.
You should know something about
the conditions under which your
favorite brand of ice cream is be-
ing manufactured. ' '
Dirty ice cream may transmit ty-
phoid and other infectious diseases
just as dirty milk may. The food
value of ice cream is generally high-
er than most people realize.

All Milk Products are Concentrated Food
An order of good ice cream at a
lunch counter .contalns practically
as many calories as a 1mm. chicken
or cheese sandwich. You should
know this fact also because a con-
ple of dishes of rich ice cream fol-
lowing a heavy dinner may prOVe a
distressing last straw on an already
overloaded stomach.
i’hyslologically also. the introduc-
tion of larg! Quantities of ice cold
materials into the. stomach has a.
marked effect in checking the ter-
mcnts from the inner coating of the
stomach. ice cream should be cat-
en slowly ln'ordor that it may not
reach the digestive organs at such a
low temperature.
Concentrated l-‘ood.
Butler. another milk product. is a
fat and is u very concentrated food.
Butter. like. all fats. should not be
onion in lumps. The. digestion of
fat should be made. easy.
There ill'i‘ few more delicious or
better foods than well-mudc fresh
butter. You should know. however,
that hot melted butter taxes the
digestion. The reason for this is
that “iii-ll bultcr is melted the wa-
ter whit-ll separates the. small glo-
bules of fut is evaporated. This
evaporation makes the attack on
melted butter by the digestive juices
much more diillcult.
Cheese deserves to be used much
more generally than it is. it is an
easily digested food. A pound of
ordinary stun: cheese contains about
as many calories as a pound of lean
round beef and about {our time as
much protein.
if you are. troubled with indiges-
tion after eating cliecsc do not con-

to the fact that you have forgotten
that choose should be over-chewed

The Last Frontier
The scientist is coming ‘to the aid
'of the farmer by doing a job for him
that was formerly done only by cer-
tain kind of bacteria The job is to
take the nitrogen out of the air and
turn it into a nitrogen compound
which can be used as a fertilizer-
Ths farmer can appreciate the.
lament of the mariner at sea who
said. “Water, water everywhere. but
not a drop to drink." .
For the earth's atmosphere is four.
fifths nitrogen and yet one of the
farmer’s chief expenses is fertilizer
containing nitrogen.
Plants cannot grow without nitro.
gen. But plants are totally unable
to use free nitrogen from the air.
They can only absorb nitrogen
which has been combined with other
elements to form salts or compounds
and mixed with the soil.
The normal nitrogen content of
the sell is the result of the activity
of certain bacteria in the soil which
have the power of absorbing the
nitrogen of the air and f'fixlng" it. as
the expression goes. in compounds
which the plants can use.
In the past when the nitrogen can.
tent of a. field ran low. the farmer
had to depend upon fertilizers con-
sisting of animal or vegetable waste
or upon nitrogen compounds mined
from a few existing nitrate field; in
the world.
But the scientist is now making
nitrates for the farmer direct from
the nitrogen of the sir.

It began when scientists discov-
ered that lightning flashes caused
some of the nitrogen of the‘air to
combine with the oxygen. the result-
ing compound being washed down
with the rails to form nitric acid.
Two American chemists. Bradley
and Lovejoy, succeeded in repeating
this process with the aid of an elec-
tric are in 1902. But so much elec-
tricit
was prohibitive.

A cheaper process was discovered
during the World War. This was
known as the cyanlmld process. In
this process. calcium cat-bids was
first manufactured by melting coke
and lime. in an electric furnace.-
Thls was then treated while at a
red heat with nitrogen. As a. result.
a compound known as calcium
cysnlmid was formed.
