They had children whom they had to bring up for the most part on 'skim' milk, bread, margarine, and adulterated tea.
The addition of it may mean three rooms for the family instead of two; it may mean nine shillings a week instead of seven to feed five mouths; it may mean meat twice a week, or half as much more bread and margarine than before, or a saving for second-hand clothes, and perhaps threepenn'orth of pleasure.
There is, for example, a considerable trade in skins and furs, in condensed milk, butter, and margarine, and in certain minerals and chemicals. It would seem, therefore, as if there were plenty of work for the Norwegians to do, and they are willing workers.
The black cloud cleared from Saxham's forehead as he lectured on the energy-fuels, and settled the minimum of protein, fat, starch, and sugar necessary to keep the furnace of Life burning in the human body. Milk, that precious fluid, could henceforth only be given to invalids and children. Margarine and jam were severely relegated to the list of luxuries.
After putting the baby into its cradle Ruth set about preparing Easton's breakfast and packing it into his basket. This did not take very long, there being only bread and butter or, to be more correct, margarine.
Toil-worn women, most of them dressed in other women's shabby cast-off clothing weary, tired-looking mothers who fed their children for the most part on adulterated tea, tinned skimmed milk and bread and margarine, grew furious as they thought of the wicked Socialists who were trying to bring Ruin upon them.

Opposite him sat a small girl in a pink and white checked frock. But to-day, meeting her serious eye, he looked away hastily. "And we must all help someone," went on the urgent voice.
They call in at the dirty general shop, where margarine, cheese, bread, tinned meat and firewood are closely commingled in the dank air. A loaf, a pennyworth of margarine, a pennyworth of tea, a bundle of firewood, half a pound of sugar, a pint of lamp-oil exhaust their list of purchases, for the major part of their earnings is required for the rent.
Brown bread, potatoes, margarine quite a great deal could be provided for seven shillings! And what was more delicious than a well-baked potato with margarine of good quality? The carbohydrates or was it hybocardrates ah, yes! the kybohardrates would be present in really sufficient quantity! Little else was talked of all through dinner at her end of the table.
