HIGH PRIcE FOR BUrTER.-Butter at fif-
ty cents pound takes rank among the mos,
expensive luxuries. There is no good reason
why such price should be charged for it,
other than the fact that heartless combi-
nation has been formei by dealers in the ar
ticle Men guilty of such an offense would
stop at no crime promising to put money in
their pockets. Many families have stopped
using it altogether, and others con6ne them
selves rigidly to one half the quantity for
