No Substitute for Butter.

Fats Of all kinds are especially
| valuable for food because Of the rel
atively large amount Of energy they
| furnish the body as compared with
! that furnished by other classes of
foods. However, recent experiments
| have brought to light the fact that
| in the selection Of foods care must
be taken to supply not only the nee
| essary amount Of energy, tissue
| building material and mineral mat
ter that the body has been long
known to require, but certain access
sorry substances causing growth pro-
motion as we'll. One Of these growth
promoting substances, commonly
called "yitamines," is found in GER
tain fats-in some more abundantly
than others. Milk fat is the rich
est source OF this newly discovered
growth essential, known as fat SOL
, uble A, or as fat-soluble vitamine.
Milk tat constitutes, as chemical
analysis shows, per cent Of whole
milk or one-third Of the total solids.
A quart Of IL ilk contains about 1 n
ounces OF fat; 80 to IS per cent of
commercial butter Is milk fat In
butter substitutes the usual bases
are tallow, lard and vegetable oils.
Each OF these has use and value of
its own, and has the same energy
| value as butter fat. But the COM
| parison must stop here. Butter is
more than fat. These fats used in
| making so-called butter substitutes
| are not nearly so rich as butter in
| the fat-soluble vitamine, which has
been found so necessary for proper
growth and Development, not only Of
| children, but OF adults as we'll For
| growth promotion milk fat or but
| ter fat has no equal.
BY practical experience In feeding
| experiments, Dr.. Il. v. McCollum, OF
Johns Hopkins University, has done
much in furnishing scientific proof Of
the superiority of milk fat as a food
There Is no substitute for butter
for children because Of the vitamine
content of butter. No substitute is
"just as good" The family that uses
butter substitutes needs more milk
and cream, or both.
