Mir. Ellis has had numerous women come to him and ask the reason TOT this provision. The women state to Mr. Ellis that, a they understand It, the administrat ton is asking that but ter be conserved so as to save fats, and they ask why the use of butterlne and other substitutes does not use the fat supply just as much butter. In order to get an official opinion on this matter MT. Ellis wrote MT. Hoover and in reply received the following letter written by a member of Mr HooVers department:
 T appreciate very much the Oppor- tunity that you give us to bring to the people in Windham county a message n regard to the use of fats.
 'NThe food administration mas recor- butter because with the increased de- mand by the war department for con- 1ensed milk for the use of soldiers. the country is confronted with the ply of whole milk for use $ food by the. children of the country. If we 60 not reduce the use of butter in cooking. or on the table, then the in creased amount of milk necessary to produce the supply of evaporated or condensed milk for the army will come out of the 50 per cent. of the milk which previously has been used for butter, or from the 40 per cent which has been used in the household
 "The situation is not question of saving money. but of saving children. T quite realize that this will be dif1- cult to make clear to people who have their own dairy cows. To them the use of oleomargarine or butterine would be an increased cost but I be- lieve that if you explained the situa tion and told them of the work of Dr. Mendel and Dr. Osborne of Yale, who have done such wonderful work in .Iemonstra ting the presence of the growth stimulants in butter, and of course in the whole milk from which 1t is made, they will appreciate the req son for the food administrd tion ask ing that we conserve the milk supply of the country. making it more widely availab bIe for the use of children.
 A general ruling will necessarily work hardship to individuals, but as individuals we can do our part in meeting the situation, and If we have more butter than we need for table use market. whether we need to sell the butter or not. That is not the ques- tion. The question is: Will we help to form public opinion of tke country through our own practices? I believe all women will do so.
 "Very truly yours,
 "R. L. WILBER."
