.. Food , mcludes everything taken into
the system capable directly or indi
jectiy to build up the normal struc
tt.ie, repair waste, or produce energy
m any form.
A perfect diet is a mixture of food
materia Is of various kinds, in stich
quantity as is needed to keep up the
normal structure of the body or re
pair all waste, or needed to produce
energy.
The human body is_ a complex or
ganism made up of an assemblage of
units, which are called cells.
These cells require the proper fuel
or food, to develop their full perfec-!
non, or the proper proportions inci-'
dent to a healthy body and life.
It is easy to divide food materials
into two parts—those derived from the
vegetable kingdom, and those derived
from the animal kingdom, and from
these two kingdoms we secure the
fuel w-hich supplies the body with the
four great chemical elements requir
ed as necessary ingredients of all the
tissues of the body namely, oxygen,
hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen.
Nitrogen is a tissue builder, the
other three oxygen, hydrogen and
carbon, are force producers—to be
used as- fuel, develop the muscles and
(other structures, and also conserve
j food and fuel for future use in the
i body structure.
All the food materials used hv man
1 food, are placed by the chemist
j under three heads. Proteins. Carbo
' hydrates and Fats. In addition to these
l three foods we have other substances
vital to the existence of animal cells,
namely water and mineral salts.
Proteins in, food furnish nourish
ment to the muscles.
Carbohydrates, furnish the necessary
heat, and muscular activity or energy,
and furnish that part which is stored
up as a reserve fuel, which is in the
form of starch, and fat. Carbohydrates
are also the sugars. Carbohydrates j
and fats are capable of replacing one
another in the human diet to some ex- j
tent. For example, those living in a i
cold climate derive their energy from j
fatty foods, while those living in a I
warm climate from starchy foods.
Fats are very essential, and a lack
>f fat in the diet leads to constipa
tion. “The blood needs fat as ammuni
tion fer kilting germs” and - people who
aat a sufficient amount of fat never
’ear tuberculosis, that is why we feed
:od liver oil and olive oil to consutnp
. fives.
A man’s bedy is mafniiy water, in fact
it makes up nearly two-thirds of his
weight. Therefore, a perfect food
must contain a large amount of water
to replace the constant losses occurring
during the twenty-four hours. (It is
well to bear in mind that the ordinary
meal is completely digested in four to
six hours.)
Meats are generally more readily
assimilated than vegetables, but it is
probable that too much meat Is eaten
by. many, and that the protein excess
produces a large excess of irritant
waste matters, which will cause gout,
Bright’s disease, and many arterial
changes, producing a very high blood
pressure. Therefore, U is advisable
that a mixed diet is the only rational
diet for a healthy, vigorous man.
Sometimes we have to confine our
selves to a limited diet, either from
sickness or necessity, and milk is the
one article in food to which we ran
confine ourselves.
Milk, and its by-products, is one of
the greatest single food articles for
man’s food, and at the same time it
may he the most dangerous'and des
tructive carriers of disease that we
have.
Milk is the natural food of man. It
is the first food given to the young
baby—and also the young animal —the
pig, the goat, the calf, all know t.he
great value of this wonderful food,
and while it is an essential food, it
is not a perfect food. It contains near
ly all the foodstuffs in a form easily
assimilated. Starch is not present,
neither is iron, and: for this reason one
using milk constantly or living on a
striekly mffik diet may become ane
mic. Bread and milk mixed is a good
food, as bread supplies the lacking
iron.
The catbphydrates being found in

the form of lactose, or milk-sugar,
which is a sugar ditfierent from the
sugar found lu vegetables and fruits.
When milk first comes from the
cow the fat is suspended in small par
ticles throughout the water, giving the
milk its yellow tint. The fat rises to
the top in a few hours in the form of
.cream. The proteins, sugar and asth
are disolved in the water. When milk
reaches the stomach the protein sep
arates from the water in the form of
curd. This change is brought about by
a ferment called rennin. which is
present along with pepsin in the gas
triet juice of the stomach. Curd is
a’ so formed by the souring of milk
through the action of bacteria.
Milk should never be gulped down,
but taken in sips, so that only small
portions of curd are formed in the
stomach, because they are easier to
digest than large ones. It is better to
take milk with bread or some other
food, or cook it with some other food
article.
The composition of cow’s milk may
be expressed as follows:
Fat 4.00
Sugar 5.00
j Proteins 3.30
Mineral matter 0.70
! Total solids 13.00
Water 87.00
100.00
It differs from human milk in con
la imng tw’ce as much protein and
salts, the proportion of fat and sugar
being about the same. Therefore, to
make cow’s milk of approximately the
same composition as woman’s mi k, it
usual to dilute it with equal bulk
of water and to add cream and sugar.
The composition of woman’s milk
varies from day to day and from hour
to hour.
Bacteria multiply in milk to a won
dei ful extent, even with the most per
fect conditions. Fresh milk contains
some hacteria— which comes mostly
1 from the udder.
If there is a perfect system of clean
! line ss and sanitary surroundings in
1 and around the dairy and milk house,
and the milk always kept at a tem
perature below 50 degrees, bacteria
will not multiply for several days.
These bacteria are unwholesome
| and very poisonous. In some cases
they produce many intestinal diseases.
The infectious diseases generally
transmitted by contaminated milk,
cheese and ice cream, are tubereulo
sis, typhoid fever, cholera, dysentary,
diptheria, scarlet fever.
Typhoid fever, cholera and dysen
tary bacteria, contaminate the milk
through water which is used to dilute
the milk, or in washing the utensil:-
with, or through the dirty hands of
he milkers. And other diseases may
be transmitted in the same manner
with the same source of infection from
un san i t ary surround ing.
The tuberculosis germs are mostly
derived from a diseased cow. tubercu
losis cows expeOl the tuberculosis bac
illa mostly through the feces. The
milk is infected through the dust and
manure of the stables and stalls.
Therefore it is very important that
cows should be groomed and washed
so that all inorusted fecal matter be
removed from their bodies and their
stalls be kept in a perfect sanitary
condition.
Ice cream is a frozen product of
milk and sugar, and is one of the most
dangerous carriers of poisonous bac
teria, if not secured, and made, kept
and served in a perfect sanitary way.
Ice cream is considered fine of the best
foods in many stomach troubles, and
especially in convalescence after some
fevers. But if not made perfectly clean
and sanitary, and served in the very
cleanest way, prove one of the
most, dangerous carriers of bacteria
we contend with.
Butter is completely sterilized in
cooking, and generally consumed by
the eater in small quantity and the
danger of- being a diesase carrier is
lessened thereby, provided it is kept
stored in a temperature of not over
50 degrees, and is handled in a perfect
sanitary manner, and well screened
from flies.
Butter miifk can be highly infected
with disease bacteria, which may be
contained in the cream from which it
may be derived. This is one of the
most nutritious foods we have and
well assimilated by the weakest stom
ach.
Cheese may be infected as the other
products of milk are, but as cheese is
not eaten after it has been made sev
eral months, it thereby becomes prac
tically free from infectious tmeteria
before consumed. Cheese is a richer
food than meat. One (round of cheese
has nearly the same food value as two
pounds of fresh beef or three pounds
of fresh fish. It is not as a rule as di
gestable as meat.
Skim milk is the lower layer of the
milk with the fat or cream removed.
I am a groat believer of skim milk as
a human food, but I do not wish to be
understood as believing or saying that
skirt! milk shopOd be used or sold un
der any other name than skim milk.
We have in skim milk a cheap hu
man food, easily digestible and a
roodt elegant cooking adjunct in the
kitchen.
The annual output of skim milk in
the United States is about 30 billion
pounds yielding about 1,020 million
pounds of protein, 90 million pounds
of fat, and 1,530' pounds of milk sugar.
It is stated on the best authority
that in normal times in Germany 25
cents will buy
538 food units in the form of beef.
552 food units in the form of poultry,
1615 fowl units in thejorm of whole
milk,
2317 food units in the form of butter
milk.
2562 food units in the form of skim
milk.
It is considered by these excellent
people and by a .people who have prov
en themselves to be the most efficient
in science on earth, as their best
cheap food for a poor man’s family.
Asa beverage skim milk is nor to
he despised,, even by the rich.
There are only a few cases in ihe
kitchen in which skim milk cannot be
I substituted for whole milk and in
i many cases the use of skrm milk im
proves the article cooked. In the case
of cooking cake if the skim milk *s
sour so much the better, as only °“ e ‘
hafff of the levening agent called for
in the receipt will be nee<led.
We have had and are having at this
date many cases of fever in Carters
ville. Whether it is caused from the
we' l known unsanitary condition of the
own, or for the lack of sewerage, or
from the water supply, or from some
source of infection in the milk and
ice cream served to the people, I do
not at this time know, but 1 do know
tnat there is a source of infection and
“ ma >' lie from one of these causes.
Therefore, let the people demand a
more perfect system of health regula
tions, and the establishment and the
appointment of a B ard of Health
with the authority and the power to
have supervision and enforcement of
