Pure Fc0d.

Pure rcod.
 Butterine is much abused product. As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of C an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made tine skiliful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life. A Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: 1.-The product is palatable and wholesome and l regard it as . most valuable article of food" 7 Prof. J. 8. ". Arnold, Medical De- partment, University of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"

 shal of Mardi Gras. OTHER IMPORTANT EOiCTS Rules and lnjunetions Governing the Pageantry and All Loyal Subjects Who May
 Participate.

Preparations for Birmingham's great mardi gras proceeds bravely and auspi- ciously. The State Herald obediently yields space to royal edicts concerning the event:
 Alng Vulcan Appoints His Grand Marshal To My Loyal Subjects in My Realm of rmingham-Greeting: l, Vulcan l, King of Carnival, being about to pay my first visit to my good city of Birmingham hereby appoint my tired and faithful subject Gen E. I McCfossin, to be my grand marshal to take charge of the grand parade, at the head of which shall make my entry into the city He shall provide himself with a sufficient number of able assistants and shall make such rules governing the said parade as he in his wisdom may deem best All loyal citizens are hereby commanded to obey and respect the au- thority which I have delegated to him.
 VULCAN I,
 King of Carnival.
 Grand Marshal's Proclamation No. l. To Merchants and Others Intending to Take Part in the Great Mardi Gras Parade: With due appreciation of the high honor conferred upon me by his majesty, King Vulcan. and desirous to discharge the duties of my office to the best of my ability, l herewith make known the fol- lowing rules to govern the great parade on February IS:
 l. The parade will be in charge of and controlled by the grand marshal and his assistants.
 2. The formation of the parade will be as follows
 King and attendants.
 City authorities and guests.
 Purely allegorical and society floats. Merchants floats and wagons.
 Music, military, police, fire department, societies, cyclists and mounted bodies will be at the head and distributed be- tween the different sections.
 }. The places in the parade will be de- termned by lot. For this purpose a pub lie drawing vii Qake place February 1, and parties desiring to participate must notify the secretary prior to that date, stating general character of display so that same can be classified
 4. Place of assembly and lines of march will be published as soon as pos sible.
 Y To make the. parade the greatest possi- ble success employers are earnestly re- quested to give leave of absence to those ? who wish to take part in the parade, es- pecially those belonging to the military companies and social organizations Merchants should avoid putting out purely advertising wagons. suitable allegorical or humorous presentation can be gotten up at no greater expense than a gaudy advertising display and will be much more appropriate for the occasion and better appreciated by the public.

by Jefferson, and MAS In favor Of assist

Injected 10 the name. Republican was
sugEf sied but 1t was not generally
adopted. and soon afterward the name of
democrat WAS adopted.
Tho republican party of today really
had iis origin in 1911. In that year the
liberty party was organized II WAS OPP

was that question which made tho repub-
