~There appears to be good deal
Of interested nonsense In the oleomar-
sarihe agitation. OleomargarIne, pro-
psrly and cleanly made, as 1t is In all
reputable establishments, is pure and
hsalthfal article Of food, and II enables
many poor families to indulge In fair
substitute for butter who cannot pay
the prices demanded for the genuine
article. 1t is unfortunate for the dairy.

to the competition, but we believe that
well made and nice butter win always

No man win buy oleomsrgarine II he
cen buy good butter. The attempt to
excite prejudice against oleomargarine
BY unfounded tales of unmentionabls
horrors In Its composition and manu-
facture do no real harm to the oleomar-
gsrine interest, because II enables the
manufacturers to advertise the facts In

II does not seem too much to ask that
the sale OF olemargarine should be so
far regulated that il conld not be sold
without the customers knowing what
he is buying. Oleomargarine may be
very much nicer than butter, but those
who want butter and suppose that they
are buying it, should not be imposed
upon with anything else, however de-
lectable it may be. If oleomargarine is
all that its friends claim for il, il is good
enough to stand on its own merits. To
sell it for what it is not, does not ell
nance the public appreciation of Its
qualities, and is distinct violation OF
business morality.-[Ex.

Is much to be said in favor of an occa.

Apples are offered for sale as freely as
cigars, and their flavor is generally
pleasing, but If one man of every three
or four were to MUNICH apples whenever
or wherever he happened to find few

would denounce the custom as nm intol-
