The commercial foods 



The skimmed milk pozvdcr was purchased from the Merrill-Soule 

 Company of Syracuse, N. Y. The manufacturers claim for this product 

 that it is simply ordinary skimmed milk dried by a patented secret 

 process to a powder as fine as wheat flour. The grade used by this 

 Station in this experiment was the third grade product and was pur-, 

 chased f. o. b. at the factory for two cents per pound. The manufac- 

 turers inform us that through an improvement in the process this grade 

 is no longer made except in very small quantities.
