Chicago.? Sixty per cont of the population of the eurth, or 1,032, (XXV 000 people, do not use butter aod ? considerable per sent buve never heard of It.,. This doubtless will astonish persons unfamiliar With the hlBtory of foods and accustomed to butter on the home table since Infancy. Similar popular myths prevail regarding the length of time coffee, tea, and , tobacco have been numbered among civilized lux uries. The addiction of Europeau people and their descendants ou this side of the Atlantic to those pleasant stimulants dates back only a few hun dred years. - All the conquests und great exploits of the ancient and medieval* world were achieved with out them. Butter as a spread for breird Is used only la a comparatively small u?-ea of the earth, chiefly In northern Europe and America. In other parts* of the world, olive oil, tallow drip pings and coconut oil take the place of butter Id cooking and as a table dish. In China, Japan, ludla and oth er nations of southeastern Aslu, where rice Is the staple food,- no butter In used and various fats und oils ure added to the cereul te give It flavor nnd nutritive v-Uue. Margarine has been an established article of diet In Europe und Amer ica since the reign of Napoleon III til Frunce when Hippolyte Mege-Mourles developed the method of manufactur ing It. It was at first considered a sub stitute for butter but now In several European countries butter Is a sub stitute for margarine. In Denmark, notably, one of the leading dairying countries eY Europe, It Is almost a I uuiversul custom among the farmers to export their butter to England and use margarine on their fumlly tables. No prejudice exists in Europe against margarine and the Inimical sentiment against it which developed a decade or so ago in Atuerlcu und which, from an economic view Is dif ficult to understand, is gradually dis appearing. Margarine Is a wholesome food made under thoroughly sanitary conditions and government Inspec tion. It is made only from the finest oils, vegetable or animal or both com bined, milk, and suit and, Its manu facture is a source at Immense protll to American farmers. As fur as taste goes, It is difficult for even a con noisseur to distinguish between the best quality of margarine and the best quality Of butter. As n spread- fur bread, both butter and tnargurlne are considered by dietitluns merely us delicacies or what are known tech nically as accessory foods. "Given an ordlnury, every-duy rea sonably well-balanced diet for the av erage man, or child," says Efr. Wil liam D. IUchardson, Internationally famous scientist and dietitian, "It does not make any difference from the dietary standpoint whether the indi vidual eats margarine or bitter uud the one he chooses is entirely a mat ter of taste, prefereifte, or economy He may choose to eat one or the oth er or uelther without any appreciable Influence on his growth, health, strength or physical or mental energy. His diet usually Is, and should be. so balanced and varied that he Is not dependent on the small quantity of fuf which Is spread on bread to make It palatable." "TRAINED WORKER" IS CRY OF INDUSTRIES Chicago. ? Deinund for more trained men than the nation's colleges and universities can turn out has advanced the home-study school to first place In Importance In America's adult educa tional scheme. Theae Is scarcely a branch of learn Ing or a trade that the home-ptudy student may not mnke his own, It Is shown In a recent survey by Dr. John 8. Noffslnger, secretary of the Nation al Honie-Study Council, 830 Seven teanth street, N. \V., Washington, I). C. The council I? nn association of the lending correspondence schools op erntlng under a codo of ethics designed to Insure high standards of home study education , "Every year our association directs thousands of young men and women In educntlonal courses to train them for positions for which thoy are best fitted, with the object of Increasing their earning ability," said Doctor Noffslnger. "More than 200 separnte courses of study are listed In the cur ricula of our member schools so that the problem resolves Itself Info what field Is best for the student. He may apply himself to hook Illustrating or boiler making, carpentry or cartoon ing, church history or dairying, dress making or combustion engines, poul try breeding or psychology, law or etching, geometry or banjo, mngaxlne writing or navigation. "ft Is the council's purpose to help him choose out of an almost limitless field the work which will suit his par tlcular talents best The defftand for trained la even greater than the field for study and the colleges and universities cannot supply the d* mand. Making the nation's homes In to classrooms la the only way ouv of the difficulty and one which has been proved by thlrty*fivs years of success ful training of men and women by correapondencs."

A MONEY CROP (From The Kershaw Era) A third shipment already this year of poultry from Kershaw is an item of sufficient interest to merit em phasis being given it. Though not so large as the two preceding ship ments, yet it brought to the fortunate ones who had poultry sell some ready cash that came in a good timo botween the time of planting, gather ing and Tharketing the agricultural crops, which will serve a very good purpose. Chickens can be easily and profitably raised on the farms on farm products, which can also be easily and profitably produced, which makes the poultry a profitable nv>ney getter. Poultry has n double advantage ov er cotton, in that it is a more profit able product of the farm, and can b<\ made an all-year-round crop. It does not interfere with the cotton product ion in any manner, but is a most val uable adjunct. Of course, looking at it from the big money standpoint, you don't get as much for a fryer, broiler, or even a grown hen or rooster, ns you do for a bale of cotton, but you can get ns much an you receive for your hale of cotton from a number of broil ers, fryers and jj^-otfn hen. And in the latter you hnve a much larger pro portion of profit gained at a much less risk and with less toil for your self. It is a money crop that is worth paying attention to, in connection with your agricultural operations. And too, there are other things that can be carried along with it. DeKAMl council NO. 88, JR.
