Pure Food.

IuT6 NCONs
 Butterine IS much abused product As Q matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferab ble 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 an absolutely pure and wholesome food All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the skillful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: ''The product is palatable and wholesome and I regard it as most valuable article of food"
 Prof. J. s. W. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article of food"
