  • Milk a Powerful Stimulant The Pasteur Institute of Paris has just made the declaration that one of the most powerful stimulants known is milk. It has been in use for months now as the one stimulant for the French soldiers in the trenches, and its effect on them has amply justified the statement made by the famous institute in regard to it. Milk has been used liberally to stimulate the French soldiers before they go into battle and its effects have been such that the French Government has urged the sale of milk, in preference to other soft drinks, behind the trenches when soldiers go off duty for their spells of rest and recreation. That the qualities of stimulation should be demonstrated on the fighting men should commend the beverage to those engaged in the pursuits of peace in those parts of the world where Mars does not now rule, says the Philadelphia Press. While alcohol may fire the brain and dull the sensibilities and thus impart a false courage, milk, according to the scientists of the Pasteur Institute, performs the work of keeping up the individual without affecting the keenness of his senses nor the coolness of his judgment. This fluid hitherto has been considered synonymous with all that is mild and peaceful. Advocates of preparedness have referred to "those milk-and-water pacifists." The "milk of human kindness" has no suggestion of powerful stimulation. But science has discovered, among its many wonders, that the patient cow has put a punch in milk that necessitates the addition of no product of the still to make itself felt on the human system. It has discovered a new and a harmless "bracer "

  • In a letter to Horace Kephart on February 23, 1916, National Bakers’ Egg Company responds to Kephart’s inquiries about ingredients used in their products. The company explains the whole evaporated egg is used instead of evaporated yolk. Likewise, dried albumen (dried egg whites, usually in powder form) is not used because they cannot compete with Russian and Chinese dried albumen prices. They also inform Kephart that their factory meets sanitation standards.
