"that the label should state the amount of
"dilution required to make the proportion of
"milk-fat equal to that found in uncondensed
"milk containing not less than 3.25 per cent. of
"milk-fat."
"(f) That it is desirable in the case of condensed
"whole milk to limit, and in the case of condensed
"machine-skimmed milk, to exclude, the addition

"(g) That the official standardising of the measuring
"vessels commercially used in the testing of milk

full of interest, and although largely technical,
yet the subject in the main is treated in such a
manner as to be both intelligible and instructive,
and I commend its reading to all engaged in the
prevention of food adulteration.
