GENUINE butter is thing Of the past. Very
little Of 1t is to be found on sale in the large
cities, and even wealthy people sometimes find
it impossible to get the real article. The
method OF making butter from swine is very
simple. Leaf lard is run through hasher and
then rendered at temperature OF 14O. Next
it is deodorized and cooled in ice water for
from thirty-six hours TO four or five days. AZ
terward 1t is drained off, melted, churnod and
mixed with cream butter. The percentage Of
butter used il from twenty to fifty, ordinarily
about forty. Oils are used to produce the de-
sired color. 1t is settled fact that the live
COW cannot compete with the dead hog in the
matter Of making butter. Very few retailers
admit that they arc selling a substitute. They
take the cover from tub Of oleomargerine. lay
it on the counter bottom side up and set the
tub in it, That conceals the ooomargerine
brand on the cover. Then til conceal the
brand on the tub by putting II "bc,t creamery
butter" placard over it and they retail the stuff
for butter.

The New Jersey law making it penal Of
fence to sell cigars, cigarettes and chewing
tobacco to boys appears to work well. The
magnitude of the tobacco evil among boys is
not sufficiently well understood. The use Of
nicotine in excess is very injurious to adults,
but it tsinfnitcly worse for youths. 1t stunts
them physically and mentally, and blunts their
moral perceptions. Any law prohibiting the
sale Of tobacco to children is sdiificult to enforce
because the small shopkecpers are the worst
offenders. The most effective scheme ever
suggested was law empowering every adult
10 cane on sight any boy caught smoking.

the consumption per adult for drinking purpo-
ses il probably much less than half what 1t was
two generations ago. The cause Of this do
crease is probably due in not unequal shares to
the influence OF the temperance organization
and the progress OF beer drinking. The fact
is that the bulk Of the liquor drinking in this
country is done by foreigners. Intemperance
is gradually ceasing to be an American vice.
