The new Illinois law regulating the sale
of butterine in that State provides that the
product shall contain no coloring matter.
The manufacturers will fight the law on the
ground that they have as much right to
use coloring matter as the butter makers,
and though everybody knows that the entic-
ing yellow of the best country butter" is
more than likely to be artificial, no one OBJ
jects. The butterine makers will probably
win. The best way to regulate the distribu-
ton of the product is the Indiana method
of requiring it to be labeled for what it is.
If people wish to buy butterine, and many
of them do, as grocers will testify, they
should have the privilege. A lack of the
accustomed butter color would probably in
terfere with the sale, since the taste is
largely governed by the eye in such mat
ters, but the coloring matter is harmless
and there ie no good reason why dairymen
should monopolize it.
