Skimmed milk has lost nearly all of its fat, and should 

 be much less expensive than pure milk. Nevertheless, 

 it still has the proteid, sugar, and salts, and is such 

 a useful food that two quarts, which cost about six 

 cents, have a greater building value than a quart of 

 oysters costing from twenty-five to forty cents. A 

 pint of milk and a few slices of bread will furnish as 

 much building material as a lunch of beef, vegetables, 

 bread, butter, and coffee, and at a much smaller cost.
