It is milk from which most of the fat cream) has been removed. Is it nourishing? Is it healthful?
IT IS BOTH!
We feed our calves on Skim Milk. You will never starve drink- ing Skim Milk. It contains all the nourishing elements - the casein, etc., which ordinary milk contains (less the fats only), and is far more easily digested than whole milk because it is not rich in fate. Skip Milk is a low-priced milk. specially suitable for making Puddings and thickening Soups. It also has many other uses.
TRY IT!
You will soon be ordering it by the gallon.
A plentiful supply always on hand. Skim Milk is loaded with the now famous VITAMINES. Regular milk drinkers seldom suffer from diseases due to lack of Vitamines.
Milk for the kiddies is a builder of bone and muscle. Be on the safe side and let them drink Skim Milk instead of water.
