butter would that an article OF consumption In
daily use would be so well known that the community
could not imposed upon but the prices OF good butter
have been 80 high this Winter that persons have been
engaged IN manufacturing an article resembling butter
and have completely deceived many into the belief that
they have been buying the genuine article. 1t Is
necessary to the public health that all persons

I think that IL would be within the province Of
official to look this matter There persons who

article that will pass for butter Bakers have been de-
celyed into purchasing OF this compound and have
