 It is reported that the Fair Haven and Westville street car company are going to ex- tend their West Chapel street branch this summer to the new athletic grounds If this plan is carried out it will certainly be finan- cial success for the company and a great con- venience to collegians.

 GENTLEMEN I acquainted with the process dis covered by M Mege for producing the article known in commerce as oleomargarine or butterine. have witnessed the manufacture in all it's stages, carried out the large scale assert that when itis conducted according to the specifications of M Mege it cannot fail to yield product that is entirely attractive and wholesome food, and one that is for all ordinary culinary and nutritive pur- poses the full equivalent of good butter made from cream.
 Oleomargarine butter has the closest resemblance to butter made from in it's external qualities color and texture. It has the appearance under the microscope, and in chemical composition differs not in the nature but only in the proportions of its components It s therefore, fair to pronounce them essentially identical
 While oleomargarne contains less of those navoring principles which characterize the choicest butter it s perhaps for that very reason, comparatively free the tendency to change and taint which speedily renders large proportion of butter unfit for human food.
 Iregard the manufacture of oleomargarine or but terine a legitimate and benefcent industry.

 GENTLEMEN: In reply to your inquiry, would say that have been acquainted for several years with the discovery MegeMouries for producing butter inc from oleomargarine fat. In theory the process should yield product resembling butter in all sentai respects having identically the same fatty constituents The butterine prepared under the in vetors patents is, therefore, in my 6pinion quite as valuable nutritive agent butter itself. In practice the process of manufacture as have wit messed it, is conducted with and great cleanh ness. The butterine produced is pure and Of excel lent quality is perfectly wholesome, and is desira ble article of food. I reason why butterine should not be entirely satisfactory equivalent ordinary butter, whether considered from the physiological commercial standpoint. yours,
