LOOK OUT FOR BOGUS BUTTER.
A Microscopic View of the Disgusting
Impurities Which Diet of Bogus

The Results of Careful and Prolonged

of the State University.
BOGUS BUTTER.


The manufacturers of butterine clam
that it is certainly cleaner, and at least
as wholesome as dairy butter. The old
adage is that Seeing is believing" and
the dairy commissioners of Minnesota
want the people who eat butterine, the
dealers who sell it contrary to law, and
the lawyers who defend them in 80 do
ing. to see with their own eyes, aided by
the microscope, the toothsome morsal
which the law would prevent them from
enjoying. The samples analysed were
bought of storekeepers in Minneapolis,
and to the eye and taste were super
Tor article of butterine. The names of
the dealers who sold it are withheld I'M
til they shall be announced in the courts
as defendants for violating the law. In
the meantime they are neither better
nor worse than other men who sell OF
defend the sale of the abomination.
People of Minnesota's fair cities, this is
the delectable substance that graces
your dining tables in the garb of whole
some butter? How do you like it? The
analyses and drawings were made by
one of your own respected citizens, in
the name of the state and OF the univer.
sity, whose learning is employed to de.
fend the people. What lesson does il
teach? We answer: First, that the bust
ness of making and selling this imita'
| ton butter is nefarious. 1t is counter
feiting in it's most dangerous form. II
springs from cupidity, and is carried oil
by fraud. Itdisplaces one of the mos
delicious and nourishing articles of food
with a vile compound, which, if it had
not stolen the honored name of butter
would be nameless, since no word ha:
been framed to express its real sub
stance or character. The five hundred
men and ten cities of this great lane
may grow rich by fraud, three million
of farmers must be defrauded of an hon
orable business, and twenty millions 0
people of wholesome food. That thi,
object lesson may assist in arousing tn,
people to the nature of this gigantic
swindle, and to its purpose to override
law if it cannot control it, this article i
presented to the people of Minnesota
by the state dairy commission.

The activity of labor organizations is
having various effects throughout the
country, one of which is to destroy the
confidence of contractors and builders,
many of whom refuse to enter into
agreements. to do work contemplated,
owing to the uncertainty as to what the
prevailing wages shall be. This cannot
be otherwise than disastrous to all par
ties concerned.

much space, occupied for the last few
months by trivial general news, both
foreign and domestic, to elaborate ac-
counts of the more weighty issues, such
as the reorganization of the base ball

few of the great topics which spring up
with spring verdure, and must have
careful and intelligent notice.

PROF. NACHTRIEB's REPORT.

The following is an extract from the
illustrated report of Prof. Nachtreb, of
the state university, to the dairy COM
mission, of the samples of butterine CIV
en- him for microscopical examination
The examination of these samples
was by no means exhaustive, and they
would probably yield much more than
the accompanying figures indicate. The
best and cleanest looking sample had a
butter odor and taste, and would readi-
ly pass for butter. 1t had a very small
variety of living organisms, but a great
many spores which, under favorable
conditions, / have no doubt would have
terminated. 1t also contained masses
of dead mould, bits of cellulous wood,
various colored particles, shreds of hair
brist.es. etc. The other two samples
teemed with life and yielded microscop.
ic preparations or the moulds and bac.
terra that would have gladdened the
heart of the student of biology. The
microscope revealed the fact that the
greatest variety of life existed in the In.
ner portion of these samples, and that
the outer portions contained the great
est quantity of active bacteria. The ami
mails found in the butterine belong f
the type ofprotozoa. Doubtful portions
of worms were also noticed. Many o.
tbs ass @ "a ae nndsE sga eo9dHn
spores within protected capsules, and in
these conditions lie dormant till the en-.
vironment is again favorable, and it can
hardly he doubted that some of the
many spores found in these butterines
were merely I'M dormant state. The
great number and variety of organisms
found in the samples, indicate the use
of foul water and criminal filthy pro-
cess in making it. There can not be the
slightest doubt that the person who eats
SO promiscuous and so lively mixture
as the butterine examined, is running
great risk, morally as well as physically
The peace and happiness of future gem
eratiOns is greatly involved in the life OF
the present generation. By INDUCING
in our homes articles of food filled with
spores and seeds of the various classes
of the lower organisms, we are increas-
ing the dangers of parasitism. Spores
that now are harmless, may, by gradual
adoption through more or less circuit
GUS routes. become inimical to the
health and happiness of countless mil
lions"
