In the districts at Home where school children are supplied with a free ration of milk daily, the problem has been to find some cheap yet hygienic way of distributing it. Recently a party of medcial men, health and school officers inspected a new station where the milk is " packed" in cartons. "We were shown." reported one of the party, " stacks of pure cellulose paper, which, fed flat into a machine, emerged at the other end folded into convenient shapes, impregnated at a high temperature with refined paraffin wax, filled with milk, securely sealed ready for despatch. The whole process was magical in its perfection and swiftness (25 cartons being formed, filled and sealed per minute). These cartons, holding a third of a pint (school supply allowance), weighed filled seven ounces, as compared with 17J ounces for a filled glass container of equal capacity." *
