The baby feeding class. Note the wooden “black board,” the brick wall, the black curtain and the little oil stove at lower right. Among other things written on the board is the recipe for “protein milk.” The only words we can make out are: “1 qt. of whole milk heated to blood heat. Add 4 teaspoons essence of pepsin and stir....until curd is formed. Pour through linen cloth...1 pt of fresh buttermilk”

This could have taken place either in the mill or the store building, at the time the only brick buildings of any size in Cliffside.
