he feeding of
invalids and children, while watered milk is a swindle not only to the
pocketbook but to the body also, since the requisite nutritive value
is lacking.

~Selection and Care of Milk.~--There are a few essential facts to keep
in mind in regard to milk: (1) Be sure of the source of the milk
supply, especially in the feeding of the sick and of infants. Milk
for such cases should always be purchased from inspected dairies when
it is possible. (2) Keep the milk cold; the best milk in the world
will spoil if left in a warm place. (3) Always keep the milk bottle
well covered, thus eliminating the danger of contamination, flies,
etc.
