The war now being wagsd through
out pennsylvania by the National
Dairymen's Protective Association
against tho manufacture and sale OF
oloomargArlne, hrs developed another
phase of the evils incident to the
manufacture al consumption OF the
product.
II Is commended by tho advocates OF
pure butter that oleomargaTlne is not
only Injurious to the dairy interests
OF the State. but that IL 10 a serious
monaco to health-that tho various
poisonous acids used In clarifying the
animal fats which enter into its COM
position are never wholly eradlcated
from the compound and that SUM-
cient remains to sow the seeds OF dis.
ease In the human system.
In his report DIR. Clark says: 'Betoro
entering upon the argument we wish
to state that we have investigated the
claims OF the oleo' makers that the
weight of the testimony OF tho medl
cal profession was in favor OF its being
healthy. This, no doubt. was true
few years ago, but we have made 1t
point of inquiry for several yeurs past
and find that this opinion was based,
not as n general thing upon investlga-
ton, but upon the sanction given the
Professor o. I. Chandler and R.Ogden
Doremus.
The opinion was also based upon
Megu's product. which must be admit.
ted to be less deleterlous to health
than most If not all others Then,
too, these spurious articles were sold
30 surreptltlously until those whose
personal interests were incidentally
Affected, stirred up the Legislature to
investigate that but little or no atten-
ton was given to the su biect and con.
sequent!y but little waB known about
It, also that the physiology like the
chemistry. OF fats, until recently has
been studied as whole, and conse-
quontly but little was known OF their
individual properties"
