During the World war margarine was extensively used in place of but ter in England. The margarine of those days was not vitaminized and had 8 pretty bad taste.
 They're using margarine again in England, and now the margarine is vitaminized and has a taste that few can distinguish from the best butter.
 For some time certain brands of margarine in this country have been vitaminized, but generally with Vit- amin A only. Vitamin A is all very well, but 1t is not nearly so ilnpo-- tant in nutrition, not nearly so likely to be deficient in the diet, as is vitanin D.
 When they speak of vitarninizing oleomargarine (margarine for shorr) in England they refer to the addi- tion of yitamin D. Vitamin D is especially essential for children be- cause of its part in forming teeth and bones. The only other sources of any significant amount of vita min D in the diet in England are egg yolk and cod liver oil. The gov- ernment in England now proposes to increase the amount of vitamin D added to oleomargarine (which na- tuarally contains none) to provide a little more in each ounce than a child would get in the yolk of an egg. Cod liver oil has been distri5- uted to many English children free of cost.
 Prof. J. c. Drummond, noted nu- triton authority and scientific ad- wiser to the Ministry off Food, re- minds us that our knowledge of vi- tamins Is still imperfect and that there may be factors in our natural foods besides those which are re- placed by adding synthetic vitamins. So far as we know, however, oleo- margarine to which proper amounts of vitamin D and vitamin A are added, is practically equivalent to butter in nutritional value.
 When butter was high and oleo- margarine low in price many cor respondents inquired about the practice of substituting margarine for butter in the diet. For adults 1t is comparatively immaterial which is used, but for children oleo- margarine should be used instead of butter only if children receive a sufficient amount of milk daily (not less than quart per- child) and perhaps have an egg or two a week.

 Sweating
 Your answer on the relation of sweating to health is sadly wrong. I am a registered nurse, trained in ...........S .Sanitarium, and I know hydrotherapy. Any individual who has had sweating treatments and massage would never, never say he has received no benefit from same.
 ~. T., R. M
 Answer-That's different. I merely pointed out the physiological fact that no poison" of consequence is removed from the body by sweating. I do not doubt that various forms of heat and massage are beneficial in treatment.
