JEALOUS BUTTER MEN.
They Are the Only Ones OPP
posed to Honest Butterine.
Butterins Hurts Their Business,
But They Cannot Suppress
It--Butterine Has Many
Friends.

Butterine has gained fcothold so solid
that nothing can shakcit. 1t is now being
made SO fine That 1t is absolutely impossi-
BILE TO distinguish 1t from the best butter.
except by chemical analysis. 1T is purer
than butter because 1t is cleaner. UDclcan
things are certainly impure. Some butter
is clean, hut visit to tn enty-riye cream
cries in the Elgin district " III reveal the
fact that though butter may appear clean
10 the retail purchaser, that most OF II is
made under conditions that " ould not war
rant 1t being called clean. On the other
hand butterine Is absolutely and perfectly
clean in every possible way. II Is maue
un1er the SUPERVISION or the Uniten States
government ana every particle OF material
used must be OF The very highest grade.
The butter dealers in Washington are
Jealous OF the success Of butterine. This
fact can be accounted FOR, though, by reason
OF buttcrine being useG IN place OF their
high-priccd butter. ..-I:f sobJecuon to
butterine is not honest objection. They
object TO IL Tor personal reasons.
1t Is not generally known, but 1t is a
fact that the percentage OF profit on butter
is far greater than that on butterinc, but
by reason or buuerine being SOLD only by
few, and In immense quantities, the aggrc-
gate profit Is satisfactory. All efforts
by butter dealers TO check its distribution
will certainly end like those directed against
gas, steam cars, electricity, and the other
beneficial results of modern civilization.
Prof. Arnold, OF the University of-New
York, said: II consider that each and
every ingredient of butterine is perfectly
pure; IT Ia great discovery, blessing
for the poor, ana in every way a Wholesome
and palatable article OF food"
Prof. Chandler adds: 1T is sought TO
deprive the public of butterine because
butter men and politicians find 1t to their
advantage to make them believe that 1t
Is bad. Efforts to check the progress of
butterinc will amount to nothing"
If you do not want Buttcrine on your
table, don't try 1t. Don't let ii get here;
be rs afraid OF II as of the cholera. For.
If you ever do give II fair trial, it's all
up with your stubbornness. That settles
II, for, il once tried. IL Is always used.
1t is better than butter and no man or
woman can help finding that out in very
short time.
Butter, If clean, may be good the very
first day it is tnade-the second day IL Is
not so good, and each succeeding day 1T Is
less wholesome. Another quality OF butter
inc that tends TO make it popular in these
hard times is its economy, IL Is much less
costly than butter, and as 1t never spoils
while on hand, as butter does, the saving
effected by using it, instead of butter, is
considerable.
Butter dealers had no objection to but
terinc until it became POPULAR, the immense
increase in the sale of butterine has hurt
their business in proportion.
wilkins & Company, OF this city, sold for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1895.
,21G, 40o pounds of butterinc.
All legislation against but,crine is 'class
legislation" that is. decl,iing in favor OF
the few. and the few are the butter dealers,
and that is a moral wrong. The people
want butterine, and as III is an honest,
pure food product. let themhave it.
