Amid the argument pro and con as
to limitations on the sale Of imitation
butter, the manufacture of the prod
uct goes on to a degree that the gem
eral public has little idea of. Con-
gresham Towney is told by a man
who has been employed FOR thirteen
years in the stock yards of Chicago
that about everything that can be
deodorlzed now enters into the manu-
facture OF butterIEe. No tallow can
be had at the stock yG 'Gs these days,
for 1t all goes into butte inc or oleo-
margarine. And more than that, so
do all kinds of inferior fats. Soap
and candle manufacturers have to seek
elsewhere for their stock, and the by
products of the packing houses from
grease has decreased as the output OF
butterine has increased. So great is
the demand that there is difficulty in
procuring low-grade grease of all
kinds for manufactp ing purposes.
Withal, II is claimed hat these prod
ucts are chemically pure and whole
some, and that to limit their manu-
facture would be to decrease the sup
ply of wholesome food.-Indianapolis

it is an unparalleled confession, for he
accepted nomination at the hands of

has had rough time of it, of late. At
the outset of the trouble with the Box
ers at Pekin he was killed A little
later he led a regiment of imperial
troops to the rescue of the legationers
and fought like fend A little after
wards he was surprised by the Boxers,
was slashed over the head with sword
and then hacked to pieces. Not dis
couraged, however, he attacked Prince
Tuan's forces and gained a great vic
tory. Then his enemies surprised him,
impaled him on a spear, cut off his
head and displayed it on the end of a
long pole. Since then Ching and Gen
eral Mich have performed progedies of
valor, and continues to give a good ac-
count of himself in the dispatches
When this trouble is over Prince Ching
