DOFFING THE HAT.
American Gentlemen Do Not Salute
Each Other as Do Foreigners.

'tWalking up 18th street recently said
a Washingtonian who has Travelled ex-
tensively, "I observed Secretary Hay re-
move his hat to two gentlemen, who re-
turned the salutation in the same manner.
They were members Of the diplomatic
corps.
"As we all know, the American style of
salutation when two or more gentlemen
meet is an inclination Of the head or a
wave of the hand. The hat is doffed to
the gentier sex only. On the continent it
would be an insult for a gentleman to
pass an acquaintance without removing
the hat. II they are friends the saluta-
ton is even more formal and includes
shake of the hand and the exchange of
few complimentary remarks.
1.-The French are accounted the most
punctilous and ceremonial Of people. I
think the Belgians are even more so. Their
customs are French, however. They have
language Of their own, but the names of the
streets in Brussels are in both French and
Beige on the same sign board.
Il spent a week in the Belgium capital,
where a member of the American legation
piloted me about. I made the acquaintance
of many Belgium gentlemen, and the salu-
tation between my diplomatic friend and
those he met was something like this:
"'Ah count, am delighted to greet you
CA cordial smile. a ceremonious lifting of
the hat, hearty shake of the hand and
an inclination Of the body in a polite bow
NY dear Col reioasa the pleasure .a is Who'll
trust you are very we'll Same formula-)
my friend. Mr.. - of Washington
(Same formula on my part and that of the
countD
AFTER an interchange Of mutually COM
plimentary remarks the ceremonies at
tending the introduction were repeated
we respectively said .au revoir. and re-
placed our silk hats for the last time upon
our heads. It was novelty at first, but
when repeated 1t eighteen times an hour
L experienced a crick in the small of my
back.
MY friend explained to me that conti-
mental gentlemen of high social position
were not pressed by political and financial
affairs as are Americans in similar walks
of life, and the hurry and haste We display
is unknown to them"

B UTTER AND OLEO
SECRETARY WILSON DESCRIBES
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM.
Congress Should Pass GrOut BILL
The Sale of Butterine and
What 1t Means.

Secretary Wilson talked with a reporter
for The Evening Star this morning at the
Agricultural Department on the subject of
oleomargarine, and effectually dissipated
many erroneous impressions inspired by the
claims of the manufacturers and dealers in
the stuff that sit is as good as butter
He prefaced his remarks by strongly COM
mending the measure now being considered
in the House committee and known as the
Grout oleomargarine bill.
THE Grout bill, as 1 understand it," said
Secretary Wilson, proposes to tax imita-
tions of butter. 1 am utterly unable to find
a reason why this should not be done, and
I believe it to be the paramount duty of
Congress to pass the bill without delay"
There Is no comparison between genuine
butter and oleomargarine," Mr.. Wilson
continued, land all claims to the contrary
are easily disproven. When the millionaire
and the laborer either go to market to buy
the cheapest fats or tallow from the steer
or the sheep they have difficulty in get
ting them at the prevailing market prices.
If they desire, however to purchase the
fats of the dairy cow they are met with
different considerations.
A Distinctive Fat.
'The butter of the cow. which is COM
posed Of that fat and caseine sells on it's
flavor. All other fats are different from
this. The fat or tallow of the OK or the
sheep may be had for 4. 5 or cents a
pound. while that of the dairy COW COM
mands in its best condition at present over
80 cents pound.
Whenever the manipulation of cows
milk he continued, sis conducted under
cleanly conditions and at proper tenn
perature a favoring element enters it by
reason of microscopic fat growths which
are bacteria. These bacteria make the fine
flavor for which we pay 30 cents a pound
and more and also add to the digestibiity
and healthfuiness of the product. Other
fats do not contain these germs for the rea-
son that there Is nothing in them upon
which they may live and multiply.
Unhealthy as Well as Vicious.
Nov, when the millionaire and the la
borer either go to market" said Secretary
Wilson, "and are led into purchasing these
cheaper fats rigged and jockeyed in such a
way to initiate butter they are not only
deceived and robbed, but they are made to
introduce into their stomachs and the stom-
achs of their families substances that are
injurious to their health beyond any ques-
ton The deleterious qualities of body fat
and tallow such are largely used in the
production of imitation butter, cannot be
eliminated by deodorizng processes or such
things. Let any one take piece of bread
and butter. weighing the butter. and eat
it, and then take piece of bread and tall
low. weighing that, and eat the first one
day and the second the next, and he'll find
the difference Ouickly'

This condition continued several

err seemed to have no more action than
if I had no liver at all. No food of any
kind tasted right. and I run down from
20 pounds to 100.
