HOUSEKEEPERS and

mothers of to-day realise that not only is milk one of the most nutritious foods available, but it is also one of the most economical, -containing, as it docs, all the essential food values in high- ly concentrated form.

clever regarding the mixing of milk dishes and milk drinks.

the

ble soups so smooth, creamy, and delicate when properly made, and when the milk is never allowed to come to the full boil, hat just kept very hot.

a light and fairy-like con- ! coction-a thing of joy--by the addition of plenty of milk, and the children revel in a good puree de pommes de terre.
