County Home Agent
Discusses Mineral
Oil Use as a Food
The increased use of mineral oil
since the war in salad dressings
and also in such foods as salted
nuts, potato chips and doughnuts,
may have serious nutritional con-
sequences. Nutrition research at
State Agricultural Experiment
Stations has shown that mineral
oil' robs the body of at least two
of the fat-soluble vitamins neces-
sary to'-health, and also of two
important minerals, calcium and
phosphorus. \
Mineral oil has come into wider
use in food preparation recently

A Changing World
We are living in a rapidly
changing world. Our life is vastly
different from that of our fathers.
Science and invention have revo-
lutionized our methods of living.
Education has broadened our cul-
ture. But the fundamental needs
of man have not changed. Man
lives and sins and dies just as he
did ages ago. All the wisdom of
the world has no answer to the
because it has not been rationed, I anxious questions of his heart re-
as many food fats and oils have 1 garding God and eternity. All
been, and because it has been plen-1 cultural advancement has not been
tiful and relatively cheap, and ! able to eliminate or even to cur-
does not become rancid. It has
practically no taste so cannot be
detected in salad dressing. For
use in hotels and restaurants it is
put up in large-quantity contain-
ers. Mineral oil dressing is widely
sold also for “reducing” diets
tail his sinning. His elemental
need is today, as it has been, for
a Savior. Nothing else can satis-
fy. Nothing else can bring him
peace of heart. “There is salva-
tion in none other: for there is
none other name under heaven
Unfortunately, few people have given among men, whereby
understood the harmful effects
mineral oil may have. These far
outweigh its advantages. It pre-
vents the body from making full
use of some of the most important
essentials in food, so it may lead
to deficiency ills.
How mineral oil dressing can
offset the vitamin A benefits
from a green salad was demon-
strated some years ago by a nu-
trition worker who has been asso-
ciated with the Massachusetts Ex-
periment Station. Rats fed min-
eral oil with spinach had to have
10 to 12 times more greens to sup-
ply their vitamin A needs than
rats fed spinach without mineral
oil. Even When the oil and greens
were given 8 times as much spin-
ach with the oil as without it.
Another study at the Pennsyl-
vania Station showed that much
of the vitamin A value of butter
and cream is lost when mineral oil
is taken.
Recent studies at the Arizona
Station have shown that vitamin
A is not the only loss from mineral
oil, but that the body is cheated
also of vitamin D, the “sunshine
vitamin”, and of calcium and phos-
phorus. Rats taking mineral oil
needed 3 times as much cod liver
011 to supply vitamin D as rats
given no mineral oil. Puppies fed
mineral oil could not use the cal-
cium and phosphorus in their food
to build normal bones.
In a warning to physicians
against the indiscriminate use of
mineral oil, the Journal of the A-
merican Medical Association re-
cently stated: “The ingestion of
mineral oil is capable of interfer-
ing seriously with the absorption
of carotene, the precursor of vita-
min A, with vitamin A itself, and
also with vitamin D, calcium,
phosphorus and vitamin K. The
prolonged use of mineral oil may
be associated with disturbances re-
lated to deficiencies of such vita-
mins.”
Under Food and Drug Adminis-
tration regulations, mineral oil
dressings cannot be sold in inter-
state commerce as mayonnaise or
salad dressing or by any other cus-
tomary name of a food product,
but may be sold legally as a spe-
cial dietary preparation for low
calorie intake. Anyone using such
a product needs to consider wheth-
er a possible loss in weight is
worth the dangerous loss of vita-
mins and other food essentials.

On April 21, the demonstration

drenched with hexachloroethane

Fifty samples of feces were taken
and checked for liver fluke eggs
which showed 50 per cent of the
cattle had liver flukes. On May

On the A. L. Cole farm, flea hop-
per numbers justify poisoning for
them. Mr. Greer reports one cot-
ton boll weevil was found on the
Cole farm. Weather conditions
are ideal for flea hopper increases
and farmers should check their
fields regularly and examine the
terminal buds of 100 plants taken
at random in four different places
diagonally across the field and
when the count runs as high as 25
flea hoppers per 100 terminal buds,
poisoning should begin.

L. S. Cole, pastor.
Veterinarian research men at
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture announced recently that a
malady called “hardware disease,”
which is common to all types of
cattle, is easy to prevent. Merely
prevent the animals from swallow-
ing the bits of foreign matter
which sometimes gets into their
roughage and “hardware disease”
doesn’t occur.
O. W. Thompson, dairyman for
the A. & M. College Extension
Service, says
caused by the tendency of cattle
to chew and swallow sharp scraps
of metal such as nails, staples,
and pieces of bailing and fence
wire. This foreign and indigesti-
ble matter sometimes will lie in a
cow’s stomach indefinitely. Some-
times a piece pierces the walls of
the first and second stomachs, or
other parts of the digestive tract.
Occasionally this will cause peri-
tonitis and the loss of the cow. In
other cases these objects work
their way through the tissues to
the surface of the body and are
responsible for condemnation of
parts of the carcass under Federal
meat inspection.
Medicine Has little or no power
to cure the malady. According to
Thompson, the remedy lies in
keeping barns, feedlots and pas-
tures free from harmful metal ob-
jects. One important safeguard
is to gather this scrap after re-
pairing buildings, fences and other
equipment. Another is to see that
no scraps of wire - remain in hay
bales, and that ground feed is free
of bits of metal. A further pro-
tection is to make sure that no
loose nails remain in products ob-
tained from vegetable or fruit
markets.

and Herman Walters in the Bonnie

Dr. Howard’s farm which borders
for about two miles along the A-
ransas River, Dr. Howard plans
i to terrace both crop land and pas-
| ture land that needs to be terraced
on his farm to conserve soil and
j moisture; to plant hubam clover
j for soil building and winter graz-
! ing crop in his pasture, and eradi-
| cate agricultural harvester ants

beds but collect all the grass seeds
and keeps the pasture from re-
seeding.

Scouts—
(Continued from Page 1)
warded surveying, farm mechanics
and wood turning; Martin McDon-
nel was awarded public health;
Clifford Kloesel was awarded
wood work; Clifton Pfiel awarded
public health and wood turning;
James Pryor awarded first aid to
farm animals; James McDonnel
awarded wood carving; Assistant
Scoutmaster Lee Niemann award-
ed bee keeping and personal
health. These awards were made
by Vivian Bailey of Refugio.
Reregistration cards for the new
year were presented to the scouts
by Assistant Scoutmaster Charles
Seekamp, while the seouters cards
were presented by Forest English
of Refugio.
One scout in the Bonnie View
Troop has a perfect attendance
at all troop meetings and func-
tions. This scout is Clifton Pfiel,
who was awarded a scout attend-
ance pin to be worn as part of his
scouting honors. Clifton is to be
highly commended for his interest
and activity in scouting, evidence
of which is found in his attendance
record. E. J. Wranosky made the
presentation.
The Bonnie View Troop was
chartered last May with eight
members and a scoutmaster. Since
that time the troop has grown to
fifteen scouts and two assistant
scoutmasters, one of which came
from the original eight boys, of
charter members. The troop now
has four star scouts, four first
class, six second class, and four
tenderfoot scouts. The scouts as
a troop unit participated in the
Fourth War Bond campaign, sell-
ing some $3,600.00 in bonds. As
a troop project they are operating
the Bonnie View dipping vat for
the present year. Another troop
project was the rebuilding of a
community mail box support at
the Bonnie View School. The
troop has had a number of over-
night camps during the year and
one hike. Over half the troop will
leave for summer camp near Vic-
toria on June 4 for one week.
Members of the troop committee
are W. G. Keilers, Chairman E. J.
Wranosky, P. M. Michna, Erwin
Zabel, and Tom McDonnel.
Scoutmaster is Tom Martin, as-
sisted by Lee Neimann and
Charles Seekamp. Among visi-
tors from Woodsboro and Refugio
were Rev. Paul Wright, who gave
the invocation, and Willie Hoff-
man of troop 71. Several contests
were staged, among them a pie
eating contest, won by Scout Ed-
ward Strouhal. Lee Niemann was
in charge of these contests as well
as the fine singing.

method of pitching shelter tents
when rain is iminent, and provide
for adequate drainage.
Battalion Headquarters was es-
tablished in the club house, thanks
to the courtesy and hospitality of
the park superintendent, Mr. Black,
and all orders concerning the ac-
tivity of the various units emanat-}
ed from there through the medium j
of the radio transmitting station
located in the “tower”.
A complete first aid station was
established immediately upon ar-
rival at the area, and served a
number of patients during the en-
tire time.
The men in the line companies
were very clever in the selection of
their camp site, having chosen a
spot suitable for camouflage with
a minimum of effort. In fact, the
tents were so well concealed that
more than one man practically fell
into his company street before be-
coming aware that he was in the
vicinity. The men responsible for
such a clever job are to be com-
mended.
The maneuver came to an end at
4 p. m. Sunday afternoon and, all
in all, everyone felt that he had
come away a bit wiser than when
he arrived .... and a bit
wetter.
The American Legion sponsored
troop of Refugio Boy Scouts ac-
companied the Battalion and took
part in the encampment.
