manufactures to me- 1 don't know of any

natural products they are intended to SIM
ulate. How can the difference be dis
tinguished? Not at all by the sense of
taste or smell The melting test is the
best. Pure fresh butter when melted

rancid butter butter. Melted butterine or
| oleomargarine, on the other hand, is al

yellow and it has an Undesirable char

1.-THE manufacturers and employers of the

to prevent them being confronted suddenly

Marshall of Providence at La Normandie
