BOGUS BUTTER.
The Astonishing Extent of the OIeO-
margarine Trade.
Chicago Tribune

NnlcaSO Tribune
The Scientific American OF April "A
contains an deliberately illustrated arti-
Gle on the manufacture of oleomarga-
rlne butter IN one of the largest factories
OF New York. 1t also contains a Two
page illustrated advertisement of the
same concern. The manufacture of oleo-
margarine butter has now become an
established institution in this country.
II Is claimed that single establishment
IN New York receives daily 100000
pounds OF beef fat, and from this pro-
duces from 10000 to $4,000 pounds
of butter daily, This is equal to a pro
ductiOn of 15,OO0,0 600 pounds, of 1000
of butter annually. If this be multi
piled by the number of equally large
establishments in the country the mag
nltude Of the production, and of course
OF the sales, may be understood. The
advertisement sets forth in great detail
the certificates of the chemists, and of
the teachers of chemistry in half the
colleges OF the country, testifying to the
dletetic purity of oleomargarine as made
by this particular establishment. 1t
is asserted that this article of olemar-
garine is made directly and exclusively
from beef fat, taken and used immedi-
diately after the killing of the beef. and
in that process of butter production
nothing deleterious as food is intro.
duced.
This may be true, but there are two
objections TO oleomargarine butter: N
That while pure, sound beef fat may be
used, other fat, not sound or pure, and
IN fact all forms and qualities of grease,
may be, by the use of chemicals, deodor
lied, disiniected, and converted into
something called butter, and sold as
such. (2) That oleomargarine butter is
not the thing which mankind knows as
butter. In many parts of the world fish
blubber, and lard, and tallow are arti
Giles of food and take the place of butter,
but they are called by their right names
and not as butter.
Now, the manufacture of oleomar-
garine is entirely unobjectionabIe, and
Its sale is harmless so far as the thing
sold is harmless as a food. 1t NAV be
superior to butter, and in time supersede
1t, but 1t cannot honestly be STYLED or sold
as butter. The objection TO it's manu-
facture, or sale, and use, so long as it is
not dangerous to health begins and ends
in its sale as butter" which it is not fit
be made and sold as oleomargarine there
can be no possible objection to it; the
purchaser knows what he buys and need
not buy it if he does not like TO do so.
The fraud is in selling it under the
representation that it Is butter and for
that fraud there can be no defense.

METROPOLITAN CIGAR sMoKISG

The amount spent IN smoking by some
of our eitizens is surprising. New
York pays more for cigars than for
bread, and this is easily seen when indi-
yiduai cigar bills run up To $500 per

unable 10 save anything out of $4,000
year, and gave among the reasons
that il cost him SO per week for
cigars. If all his expenses were
at such a rate there could be
little chance for accumulation.
There are many smokers Tho average
100 cigars a week. These are the men
who build up such fortunes as the Gil
