Condensed or evaporated milk is simply cow's milk re^- 

 duced to about one^half original volume by driving off enough 

 of the water to reduce it from 88 per cent in natural milk to 72 

 per cent in the commercial evaporated milk. This, increases 

 the solid food matter from about 12 to 26 per cent. When not 

 sweetened for preservation, it is a fairly good food for infants 

 and young children if they like it. Sweetened condensed milk, 

 however, is too rich in the fattening qualities to make a safe 

 food for continued use for infants. 



Powdered milk is, simply cow's milk with practically all 

 the water taken out. Ordinary milk is about 88 per cent water, 

 while powdered milk contains 2 to 3 per cent — a wholly neglig- 

 ible amount. A system is now in use by which milk containing 

 all of the natural cream can be powdered and remain sweet and 

 wholesome for a long time, long enough, in fact, to be shipped 

 half way round the world and used with perfect satisfaction. 



Extensive feeding tests covering the past 15 years in Eng- 

 land and in Continental Europe demonstrate that powdered 

 milk is even superior to natural liquid milk in the feeding of
