The man who happens to possess the
secrets of a certain process can go out
and buy stale, rancid and generally good
for nothing butter for few cents O
pound, and subjecting it to the aforesaid
process can straightaway sell it at an ad
vance Of anywhere from 200 to 400 per
cent. This assertion was made yester-
day, coupled with the statement that
the people who control the particular
process are actually now pushing it's pos
sibilities to the extent Of turning out
thousands of pounds of the "butter, :"
selling it oyer the country. and making
SO much money they have found it nec-
essary to increase their capital stock ten
times and to start second large factory
in all Ohio town. It is at this manufac-
tory that Representative Campbell's bill
to regulate the manufacture and sale Of
reworked and mixed butter is alleged to
be aimed. The bill provides a package
Of manipulated butter shall bear a
label telling it's character branded into
the box, and that breaker Of the pro
posed law, whose terms are explicit,
shall be punished with a fine Of $500 or
imprisonment for six months or both.
a For years way to work over spoiled
butter SO as to make it areally good
merchantable commodity has been the
dream of butter makers. 1t appears q
young man from New York dreamed to
some purpose
A few months ago, while stopping at
the Chicago Beach hotel, he introduced
himself to a fellow boarder, who hap
pened to be man Of much Importance
in certain commercial interest, and
brought up the subject Of butter. Said
this man: "The young New Yorker told
mo he had discovered method Of treat
ing rancid and spoiled butter so as to
make stuff which cost Q or 3 cents
a pound salable at a profit of some
times 10 cents and more. understood
the compound was actually being manu-
factured then in South Water street
basement, and was invited to go into
the enterprise. I did not, but believe
the young man formed little stock
company, with 0,000 capital. He told
me shortly afterward he was carrying
100000 pounds Of the stuff. Since I
learn that one or two others have gone
into the business. 1t seems to pay, for
one of them has leased a good sized
plant on tho West Side. Another is
building large factory in the heart Of
the dairy territory Of Ohio. The origi
nal $40, 900 capital Of the first company
has been raised to 100000. The bust
ness is not cried from the housetops.
On the contrary, there is apparently an
effort to keep it quiet while at the same
time the sale Of the so called butter is
pushed. know something about butter.
It may be that chemicals can be infused
in mass SO as to change it's appear
ance, but if there has been any fermen-
tation the effect of it will be there. This
stuff may not deceive local buyers, but
how is it after the packages reach dis
tant territory? They may get changed
around and get confused with genuine
butter, to be detected later after the re-
worked rancid stuff gets into the human
stomach"
1t required search of only half an
hour in South Water street yesterday to
find people who knew something of the
process. On the top floor of building
occupied by large commission house
near the western end of the street but
ter Of the kind mentioned is made, and
lots Of it.

the house. IT acknowledge we are in

over Of butter has been practiced 25
years, but it is true the present process
is superior one. It is true there is q
large plant in Ohio, and it has been
necessary to secure large building for
the business on the West Side. We did
not commence in a basement, and, as for
the 100, 900 pounds Of stock we were
carrying, it was simply material we
