Among the patients at the New Jersey
Lunatie Asylum, at Morris Plains, is a
man who is subjected to very little re-
straint and whose insanity is only occa-
sionally manifested. Several days ago
Rev. DIR. Burehard, who became known
in the last campaign, visited the asylum
and was shown through the building by
Warden Monroe. Presently they came
to the mild-mannered lunatic alluded To-,
and DIR. Burchard recognized him az the
SON of former parishioner. Greetings
were exchanged in hearty manner,
and the Doctor asked, "Well, what
brings you here?" Rum, Ronanism
and Rebellion" was the solemn re-
sponse Of the patient, who slyiy wihked
at the warden. "Ah!" said the Doctor,
and passed on.

COUNTERFEIT BUTTER


After the rather startling showing made
before the National Butter, Cheese and
Egg association IN Chicago lately, con-
corning the character and extent OF the
artificial butter interest, additional legis-
latiOn for the protection Of the farmer
and the consumer becomes almost impcr-
alive. Ia New York city during Novem,
Der 10000 packages of counterfeit butter
were handled, while in Boston during the
same month l4,345 packages were re
celved as against 1921 year ago. The
decrease in the quantity of genuine but
ter handled in both cities has been N ex,
act proportion to the increase in the DO
gus article, and these proportions, We be
lieve. are about the same in every city in
the union.
Here, then is Il visible blow at the hut>
ter interest which consumers no less than
farmers may well inquire about. for if it
affects the pocket of the maker of genu-
inc butter. it no less seriously disturbs
the stomach Of the citizen who is deluded
into eating the discrimination. That it is
base imitation no one who
has seen the patents grant
ed to the oleomargarine companies
will hesitate to admit One patent, is
sued in 1875, specified sour milk, animal
fat, Tactic acid, peanut oil. almond oil
and olive oil. Another enum crates animal
fat, soda ash and salt A third, in 1878,
includes bicarb0nate of soda, pepsin and
colorlng matter. A fourth, in 1882,
mentions lard, buttermilk, tallow and
pepsin. Others, all issued between 1889
and 1885. have cottonseed oil, slippery

burned, scalded and mangled so badly that
