MARGARINE, the science of nutrition and the dairy interests are engaged in a Mad Hatter fight these days. And only America’s war needs can dictate a truce. The government's wartime nutritional drive urges everyone to eat butter or fortified margarine daily. Our leading nutritionists and medical groups classify margarine, with vitamin A added, as the nutritional equivalent of butter. | Nevertheless, as recently as June, 1941, the magazine Dairy Record was declaring: “The dairy industry must set as its goal the | complete extermination of oleomargarine. It must never rest | until the manufacture and sale | of margarine have been outlawed | in this country.” | > 4 *
| IN MARCH of this year, the children’s bureau, department of issued a booklet called “The Road to Good Nutrition,” recognizing that parents, teachers and others have a special problem in wartime to keep up the health of children despite shortages. Dr. Lydia J. Roberts, who wrote the book in collaboration with the children’s bureau staff, says that children over one year should get three servings daily of butter or of oleomargarine with added vitamin A. But the legislators of South Dakota feel that “state rights” come before the rights of children in lower income groups. They passed a law this year requiring all consumers of margarine made outside the state to pay a license fee of $1. Sort of a poll tax on health, The war food administration has acknowledged margarine as a necessity of our war diet, That seems to be quite a different opinion than that held by Rep. A. H. Andresen of Minnesota. On April 7, he introduced an amendment to the appropriations bill for the department of commerce which would prohibit “promotional activities, inquiries or investigations in connection with oleomargarine or other pretended substitutes for dairy products.”

This is margarine in one of the latter stages of mixing vegetable
oils and skimmed milk.
The white mass on the conveyor line doesn’t
look much like butter, but scientists say that when fortified with vitamin A, it is the nut:itional equivalent of butter.
The senate, however, was not interested. Mr. Andresen had been irked by a department of commerce bulletin stating that because margarine is used more widely among families of low income, taxes on it fall most heavily on those least able to pay. Margarine, 90 per cent of which is now fortified with vitamin A, costs about half as much as butter, and four ration points less than butter. There isn’t enough butter today for our armed forces, lend-lease and home-front needs, as every slice of bread knows. Margarine is the nutritional equivalent of butter, no matter what you think of its taste. Yet attempts to remove license fees or excise taxes this year from this needed alternative to butter were either defeated or tabled in Connecticut, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Vermont and Washington. 2 2 2 PENNSYLVANIA provides various examples of restrictive legislation. The state requires a $1000 annual license fee for margarine manufacture, a $500 license for wholesalers handling it, a $100 li-
cense for retailers, a $50 license for restaurants serving margarine, and a $10 fee for boarding houses serving it. - The Pennsylvania Grocers’ association made a vigorous but futile fight for removal of the retail license, declaring that 90 per cent of the retailers couldn’t afford to pay $100 a year for the right to sell one food product. The game of “butter, butter, let’s tax margarine” started 'way back. In 1898, New Hampshire had a law requiring that all margarine be colored pink, but the supreme court declared it uncon-
stitutional. But the “pink butter” story isn't half so funny as the Towa incident: Last March, Towa State college issued a pamphlet called “Putting Dairying on a War Footing.” The editorial committee consisted of four scientists, all members of the faculty. They suggested, as a war measure, that instead of trying to shift men and feed into producing more butter, the state probably could afford to increase the production of some other fats and expand the processing of margarine, The Towa dairy industry ganged up on President Charles E. Friley of the college, demanding the recall of the pamphlet and the removal of its authors as selfconvicted incompetents. He replied that the right of institutions to publish facts is not a debatable question in this country, = o o
ATTITUDES GENERALLY toward margarine are beginning to improve. Oklahoma boldly has withdrawn all taxes on the commodity; California has removed one of the five taxes. The FDA reports that the production of margarine this year will be about 650 million tons as compared with 344 million in 1940-41, explaining that the government allocated more oils to make this expansion possible. Contrary to general belief, we are shipping large quantities of margarine to countries receiving lend-lease aid, and there are reports that the army is buying for its own use. The Fulmer bill, considered by the house agriculture committee, is further evidence. This bill, introduced by Hampton P. Fulmer of South Carolina, would repeal all special federal legislation relating to margarine manufactured and sold in the United States.

Early Signs Of Rabies In Dogs
By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer MEAT RATIONING and, to a lesser extent, the departure of many | boys and young men for the army | and the breaking up and moving of many homes is bringing fresh dan-| ger of rabies. The reason is that many dogs have been turned loose to roam the streets or countryside and forage for their own food. Rabies is caused by a germ. When | large numbers of dogs are loose in| the community, the chances of the| germ spreading from one infected | animal to all the others and to humans are greatly multiplied. If you cannot feed your dog or cannot take him with you when you move, the humane thing to do is to find him another home or take him to the city pound. o 2 ”
THE GERM OR virus of rabies is carried in the saliva of the rabid or “mad” dog. When the dog bites a human or another dog, the virus gets into the wound and travels along the nerves to the spinal cord and brain, where it does its damage to the victim. But this virus also travels back along other nerves to the bitten person's or animal's salivary glands and into the saliva which then becomes dangerous to] others. Some time before a dog with rabies is frothing at the mouth, running crazily about, snapping viciously yet aimlessly at anyone and anything in his way, he may have bitten other dogs and people and given them his frightful sickness. It is vitally important, therefore, to recognize the disease at the earliest moment, 2 s ”
THE FIRST sign of rabies in a dog is a change in his disposition. He may have a troubled, distracted! look in his eyes. He seems to lose normal desire to recognize and be friendly with other dogs or with people. Dogs which have previously been somewhat aloof may, on the other hand, become unusually friendly, | affectionate and gentle. If you own! a dog or if you have made friends! with dogs in your neighborhood or | along your way to work or school, you should know these early symp- | toms of rabies, both for your own protection and so that you can make | sure your dog pet or friend does not become responsible for giving this horrible disease to other dogs or people.

well as their usefulness, If they need to be broadened for a wider window, use the contrasting fabric to bind the outer edges and cover the hem. Broad tiebacks of ribbon or cretonne, a wide valance of wood or contrasting fabric, or ball fringe edgings, help to beautify old curtains. White curtains can, of course, be tinted; colored ones bleached and re-dyed. For good results, they should first be thoroughly washed. Although curtains seem merely to flutter gracefully at the windows, in reality they take a great deal of punishment. Grit-laden air passes through them. They are subjected to strong sunlight, rain, snow and wind. That's why curtains sometimes fall to pieces if left hanging too long.
» ” ” BEFORE WASHING, shake the curtains to remove surplus dust, then wash them in lukewarm soapsuds. One sudsing should do the trick if the lather is thick and lively and if the curtains haven't been neglected too long. Otherwise, put them through a second suds bath, rinse well, then roll for a moment in clean absorbent towels. Some aurtains can be shaped without stretchers if hung wet at the windows with rods through the bottom hem as well as at the top. When dry, they should be removed from the rods and pressed. Very fine or worn curtains should be enclosed before washing in cheesecloth bags or pillow slips.
