Value in Skim Milk.

Skim milk is chiefly casein, and while It is a food rich in protein it was formerly fed to the pigs or thrown away. Chemical research brought out its value tn paper sizing, in making water soluble paints for interior use and for many other purposes. Another use for skim milk consists -under a patented process of emulsifying coconut oil and skim milk in water and then stabilizing them so that the product has substantially the same food qualities as milk and cream, and It lOoks and tastes like milk and cream. The sklnj milk may be shipped dried, and no cow Is needed within tec guiles.-Jrom “Chemi strydx. Overalls,” by Arthur D. Little, ’t - .

BRINGS HOME HUN SAVAGERI Contrast of Present War With Th« of the Spanlsh-American Conflict Twehty Years Ago. One ntfcht, 20 years ago, I sat In at army campin Cliba during tpe Santl ago campaign, listening : to a discussion of war weaponK That day some 2.001 men had been killed or wounded-ku* .three hours’ battle, which Involved all of Shafter's army corps at San Juan hill and at El Caney. The matter which created the most comment was the very sma II per cent of mortalities in the casualty list. The wounded would nearly all recover, and. except here and there, without perrrfanent injury. Two American staff officers were discussing it and praising the Mausei rifle, which the Spaniards were using. I remember substantially the words of one of the staff officers. He said; “It is a more merciful weapon than the Krag,Which we are using, tiecause It Is of smaller bore, makes a cleaner wound and puts the other fellow out of business just as effectively as the Krag does without fnflieting as dangerous ari injury." I remember that they both agreed that the science of modern war was to knock the other fellow out without slaughtering him. I thought of that odd American conception of that twen-ty-year-old period while' visiting yesterday a hospital where Americans were being brought in from the field. Some of the men are Indescribably mangled: some wounds lie open as though they had been made with a .deaver —others are of the crushed, ragged kind, '..1 went from this dangerously wounded ward into a neighboring tent, where 200 gassed men with bandaged eves tossed restlessly. As I thought of the desperately wounded I had just left and of those poisoned men," called upon to defend themselves against an inhuman weapon which gave them no chance to strike blow’ for blow, I realized the utter savagery to which we have reverted since that gentle day In which we sank the Spanish navy and hiade guests of the Spanish “OTmy unTilTirei hour’ arrived ’ when we might send the conquered home in chivalry and in honor. —Kansas City Times.
