THEY PREFER AMERICA.


NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-General Booth. os
the Salvation Army, has ordered Com
mander Ballington Booth to give up COM
mand of the American army and go to Lon
don. Why he has so ordered is a mystery
Commander Booth says he has no idea why
the recall is made. nor of where he will go
or what he will do. Mrs. Booth and the
babies will go with him, as will several
members of his personal staff including
Brigadier Perry. They will sail about the
middle of March, and this is all that is
known of the matter until an expected let
ter of explanation arrives in next week s
mails The order of recall was received by
Commander Booth ten days ago, but he
says it was short and formal, and told
him nothing beyond the main fact He
wrote back to ask why and wherefore, and
it is believed that he will make a protest
against leaving the organization that he
has brought TO such prosperity.
The following bulletin was posted at the
army's headquarters to-day: 1T is with
profound sorrow that Commander and Mrs
officers that they have received orders to
prepare TO relinguish their command in
about nine weeks time. They have no
knowledge whatever of their successors,
or the generals plans, nor have they been
consulted upon the question, and any in
formation therefore as to who succeeds
them is entirely surmise, and 80 far as
they are concerned, is mere rumor from
the other side of the ocean. The change
Of command is not of their seeking nor of
their doing in any way, nor are they re-

The danger point in the presidential pos

some months that the country's finances
would become so entangled as to require
not only a natural adaptability for the

Allison for the Republican nomination for
President it was dispelled to-day by the ac-
ton of the Iowa congressional delegation
With the sanction OF Senator Allison him
self. tho delegation held conference, at
tended by every member in the city, and
discussed plans for advancing the Senator's
presidential interests. A committee OF three
Gen. D. r. Henderson, chairman Senator
Gear and Representative Hepburn-was
lected to represent the Allison interests in
Washington. Mr.. Hepburn, speaking of the
movement, said: The delegation is en-
tirely and absolutely unanimous in its sup
port of Senator Allison, and so is his State"
The State Republican committee of Iowa is
actively interested in the Allison movement
as this congressional committee will co.
operate with the other body. His friends
believe that his strength can be demon
strated to the country by an active and or
ganized movement in his interest.

Butter Badness.
Butterime Goodness.

=, The old fogy idea to which some people
still cl1ng-that Butter is better than Butterine
was long ago exploded
Butter isn't better than Butterine-it isn't
as good--it isn't as good in any way-t isn't
halt as good in many ways.
Butter is made from milk, and any doctor
will tell you that the cow is the most tubercu-
lous OF animals, and that cows milk and butter
are the causes of consumption.
There are clean butter makers. There
are dirty, slovenly butter makers There
are farmers houses the very air of which would
sti1e you.
The butter you eat may be made in clean
farm house by neat butter maker 1t NAV
be made in filthy farm house by slovenly
butter maker.
Butter gets rancid sometimes in day,
sometimes in two days and sometimes in
week. By the time it reaches the consumer
It IS pretty sure to be more or less rancid
-, Brtterine is made from oils pressed from
the sweet fat of beeves At the very out
set it is one of the purest of food products. 1t
doesn't spoil 1t doesn't turn rancid. 1t will
keep absolutely pure and sweet for eight
months in any climate The process of man
ufacture IS one of absolute cleanliness. Unlike
butter, it is made in great creamcries, open
fto.n inspection, that make all adver-
