FOOD FOR THE FAMILY

consumption was between forty and
forty-five pounds.
A very large proportion OF that
great increase in consumption is due
to the production of nutmargarines
in which vegetable oil is used as a
base rather than the animal oil,
which is called "oleo"
Margarines first were produced as
butter alternatives with the idea
that animal fats exclusively could
be used as the base, but after the
packers such as Armour and Com
pany began to manufacture oleomar-
garines, 1t was discovered that the
oils obtained from cottonseed pea
nuts and cocoanuts were quite adapt
able for use as bases. OF all the
vegetable oils, that of cocoanut, ac-
cording to research by the Chemical
Department of Armour and Company,
has proprieties which best blend
with the milk and other ingredients
which go to make up the margar-

FOR food commodities as well as i'm
proved methods Of manufacture are
responsible in a large degree for the
astonishing increases in the use OF
margarines during the last three or
four years. Statistics show that ap-
proxlmately 400 million pounds OF
margar1nes were sold during the last
year. while but $50 million pounds
had been marketed four or five years
ago. The per capita consumption in
the United States on June 80, 1920.

portion to the population of the ma
ton as it was five years or more
ago. Virtually the same situation is
obtaining in the United States as OBJ
tanned in Holland many years ago
Holland, above all the Scandinavian
countries is noted for its dairy pro
ducts, yet statistics show today that
the consumption of oleomargarine in
Holland is As pounds per capita; and
its output of dairy products is great

found in considerable quantities in
animal oleomargarine and that
makes it more adapted to uses in
families where yitamines are con
sidered essential,
In spite of the enormous growth in
the volume Of margarines that have
been sold in the last three or four
years, the demand for butter has not
decreased. In fact, it seems to be
growing stronger, but statistics show

The value, of oleo, however, has
not declined as it contains properties
which will not be found in the vege-
table oils. The use of oleo as a basis
for margarine also gives the product
a consistency which is preferred by
many customers to that produced by

TWO BIG APPOINTMENTS STILL
AWAIT GOVERNOR

Governor Richie. has two
important appointments yet to
make besides the ch-talked-of
Racing Commission. He has to
appoint a Central Purchasing
Agent, who will do the buying
for State offices and institutions,
and a State Employment Com
missioner will have charge of
the practical details of making
elective the new merit system.
To an even greater extent
than in the case of the Racing
Commission, the Governors ap-
pointments to these offices are
being watched with interest
throughout the State.
Particular in terest will center
about the Employment Com
missioner, which office was con
s5ituted as it now stands by the
legislature after clreful weigh
ingof the arguments in favor Of a
one-man board and a three-man
commission. The last Assembly
was a one man body, as evidenced
by it's action in the case of the
Police Commissionership, and the
single incumbent idea sprevailed.
The act provided for the class
ifcation of a great majority OF
State employees under conditions
similar to the Federal Civil Ser
vice. The duty of classifi cation
will fan directly on the shoulders
of,the State Employment Commits
sioner. His salary will be IS. 00C
year.
While perhaps not as vital, as
those of the Employment Com,
missioner, the duties of the State
Purchasing Agent will be i'm
portant from the viewpoint of the
economic expenditure of State
moneys.
Properly speaking: the agent
whomsoever he may be, will be
the secretary of the Central Pur
chasing Bureau established by
the Legislative act. This bureau
is to be made up Of the heads Of
all State off ces and institutions
Sitting in council these Officials
will decide just how supplies ma!
be bought more economically il
bulk by collective bargaining.
Then they will pass along theil
general directions to the agent
whose duty it will be 10 see tC
the details.
AS yet there has been littl
intimation Of to the probabl
choices Of the Governor for tn
places. The Executive ha
plenty of time to make up hi
mine, however, since the acts d.
not take effect until October l. !
may not be until a few. days be
fore that date that the Governor
will be in position to heaVe tina

Day And Night Markers 70. Maryland
Roads

Maryland will shortly take the lead
over States in the introduction of a
system of standardized and uniform
danger markers along its highways.
Plans are nearly completed for the
Installation of approximately 5000
danger signs in the State. They will
be illuminated at night sin addition t.
showing by day just exactly the kind OF
danger the automobile is approaching.
AS result of negotiations now being
conducted by the chairman of the State
Roads Commission, these signs, which
are the most modern will be INSTALL
ed and maintained without one cent OF
cost to the State. Large accessory
companies are interested in the project.

Wi11ter-Tif11e in Florida

There is no such element as cold
not even in the frozen northland, &C
cording to scientists. The term is
applied to the condition or state that
has had the heat more or less ex-
tracted from it. This brings us to
the meat in the cocoanut, as it were,
for there is not much extraction in
the State of Florida. But 70: an ele-
ment which we are assured doesn't
exist cold causes more downright
discomfort than anything you can
think Of? Well say it does-outside
of Florida! Did you ever hurry a
few blocks over an icy sidewalk, your
nose slowly hardening in the intense
cold, your gloved hands rubbing your
ears, and your breath forming dis
agreeable frost on the lape; ofy our
upturned overcoat collar? And then
step into we'll heated place where
the genial warmth makes you peel
your surplus wrapping and expand to
a pleasurable feeling tina: all is well
with the world? That's the way you
feel upon entering Florida, and you
have the added satisfaction Of know
ing that the warmth is general and
not just pocket edition boxed up
in some club, hotel or home.
Have you been used to those fool
ish ones who imagine they enjoy cole
