About Margarine.

To the eye there are only two kinds
of margarine, white and yellow.
Color, however, has nothing to do
fulness of this product Tho only
margarine with a naturally yellow
color is that composed mainly Of oleo
oils made from the yellow beef fats.
The whiteness of these margarines
is due to the extreme care with
which the various oils that compose
them are refined before being COM
bined in the finished product
Then why color them? perhaps you
say.
For much the same reason that a
good cook garnishes her dishes with
parsley and beet rosettes and other
dainty, attractive on-essentials. From
long habit yellow is associated to our
minds with richness and flavor. The
sight of it starts the appetite juices.
Uncolored butter woud seem insipid
to most because we are accustomed
to associate lack Of color with lack
of flavor.
The government imposes a manu-
facturers' tax of ten cents a pound
on all artificially colored margarine,
but the housewife who wants a yell
low margarine for bread spreads and
other table uses may avoid this extra
price by buying white margarine and
coloring it herself, using the capsule
of coloring matter that comes with
each print. The colorfng in this cap
su1e is similar to that used by butter
makers and absolutely harmless
Although this product, under gov
ernment regulation, must be labeled
"oleomargarine," there are a great
the proportions of animal and vege-
table fats used. AS matter of fact,
the word "oleomargarine" accurately
describes only those types that con-
tain oleo oil, which Is made by melt
ing and refining the caul or ruff1e fats
of the beef. The law establishing
this name was passed before the re-
fining of vegetable and nut oils had
advanced to stage that permitted
the use of these new ingredients. Co.
and lard are all used now in making
margarine, and some brands contain
no animal fats whatever, excepting
the milk or butter added to give
flavor. For these nut margarines
"oleomargarine" obviously Is mis-
Most housekeepers know that mar
garine will keep much longer than
butter without spelling. The reasons
are, first. the careful sterilization
and minute government supervision
that attends every stage Of the
manufacture, and, second, that mar
garine is made fresh for the market,
and reaches the consumer within a
week or two from the time 1t leaves
the factory, whereas the great bulk
Of our butter is churned during the
spring and summer when cows are
most productive, and then kept in
cold storage until the regular demand
catches up with the irregular supply.
In point Of digestibility there is
little to choose among the various
types of margarine. In this respect,
as well as in nourishment value, they
rank with good dairy butter.

To make a frock out of one of

maker-but really 1t is not anything
of the sort.
Quite characteristic of these Vionet

TREASURY STARTS
SILVER CAMPAIGN
CartwheeIs in Employees Pay
Envelope First Move to
Restore Circulation.

The Treasury embarked today on
a campaign to restore the silver dol
lar-the "cart-wheel," which was so
widely used 20 years ago-to general
circulation.
The initial step was taken when one
Of the coins was placed in the pay
envelope of each Of 5000 Treasury
employees. Similar action will be
suggested to other Government bu-
reaus.
During the past 20 years a steady
stream of silver dollars has flowed to
the Treasury as the use of paper
money supplanted them on the re-
.ceding frontiers of trade. The move
ment was furthered by the Govern
ment because of the expense and
danger of transporting the heavy
specie in making necessary settle
ments between banks.
1t has been estimated, however. that
the upkeep of paper money costs the
Government around per cent of its
total face value, while maintenance
of silver dollars costs practically
nothing. Arrangements have been
made whereby various reserve banks
will hereafter bear the expense of
shipment OF silver dollars.
There are about $509, 100000 cart
wheels available. Of which some $780,
100000 now are required by law to
be held in the Treasury against silver
certificates and silver Treasury notes
outstanding. officials said about
$30,000,000 might be considered as
available for immediate distribution

LONDON, August 16.-The French
and Germans finally have settled
their long controversy over the mill
tary evacuation of the Ruhr by an
exchange of letters today. in which
they agree to the principle that Au-
gust IS of next year be fixed as the
final date when the French and Bel,
gian troops must completely evac-
uate the Ruhr territory
They have also agreed that a par
tfal evacuation will begin on August
80 of this year, when the foreign SOL
diers will leave Dortmund and the
cities and places outside Of the Ruhr
which were not occupied in accord
ance with the terms of the treaty of
Versailles.

In the letters covering these points.
Both the French and Germans, in
their letters. insist that they have
not altered their opinions about the
legal question involved in the occu-
patton of the Ruhr.
The French insist that the occupa-
ttons were justified by the treaty Of
Versailles, while the Germans declare
that the sanctions were illegal and
voice the expectation that the evacu-
alton will be finished earlier than
next August.
Prime Minister Macdonald of Great
Britain also is preparing a letter in
which he will deny charges that he
coerced the Germans into acceptance
of the French demand that the Ruhr
occupation continue for one year
longer. 1t is also expected that he
will issue a statement expressing the
hope that the evacuation may be even
speedier than the agreement provides.
The French and Belgian prime min
listers made a joint statement declar-
ing 1t was obvious that the entire
: sanctions territory would be evacu-
ated as soon as the French troops
left the Rhur, in other words, that
the military evacuation would be abb
solutely complete next August Is.
British Are Bound.
To this Mr.. Macdonald gave his
APPROVAL, thus binding the British
along with the French and Germans,
to the absolute fulfillment of tn,
agreement on condition that the Ger
mans live up to the provisions of the
