summer Pillows.

1t is easy TO rip the side seams OF a
delicate or gorgeous pillow covering
and carefully pull the pillow through
the opening. Shake the dust from the
elaborate cases and lay them away
where neither flies nor sun nor rust can
ind them The cost is very small of
material which in summer is grateful
TO the touch and inviting to the eye,
and it is little trouble TO sew up squares
or oblongs to fit your pillows. and sure
ly appreciation of such cushions, so
quiet in color and cool to the touch.
viii be expressed by their popularity.
The best material for this purpose is
the linen which is commonly used for
furniture covering. Remember that I'm
warm weather more comfort is to be
had from a pillow which is not too soft.
80 make your summer coverings quite
bit smaller than the down pillows.

Levi Wells. of Washington. D. c., former
dairy and food commissioner for the State
of Pennsylvania, but now special agent for
the United States Department of Agricul-
ture, is at the Denison. Mr. Wells is con-
nected with the division of the Department
of Agriculture that deals with what are
called renovated butter factories" His
work is to inspect these factories and see
that they comply with the law. In differ
ent parts of the country there are concerns
that buy what might be termed "old but
ter and work it over. Much of this butter
comes from the village stores The fac
tories make a fairly decent article of but
ter out OF this stuff and sell it in the large
cities of the East and West Heretofore
there was way in which the patron could
tell when his grocer was selling him reno
waited butter Since July l. however, new
law has been in force. Manufacturers of
this article of butter are required to label
the buckets that hold it showing just what
it is. In addition each pound of butter
turned out by these establishments must
bear the imprint Renovated Butter" IN
less the dealer who sells it to the consumer
should efface the letters this brand of but
ter will be easily distinguished. The new
law Is the JOINT WOTh Ol the DepdT VI
Agriculture and the revenue department.
There is one establishment in this city that
turns out renovated butter" Mr.. Wells
estimated that in the last year from 50,eOo,-
900 to 100000 pounds of this renovated
butter" has been put on the market. Con-
corning the manner of making this butter
the rules and regulations" of the depart
ment in regard TO it say: Butter thus
melted and clarified or refined becomes an
oil fat almost free from taste and odor.
To be again made to resemble genuine but
ter il must have restored to it the butter
characteristics Similitude of texture,
granulation and flavor. For this purpose
the processed or renovated butter is
usually granulated by cooling. and churned
or otherwise mixed with milk or skim milk,
or buttermilk, or cream, sweet or sour. Ii
may or may not have common salt or arti-
fetal coloring added. To resemble genuine
butter the article must have passed through
these or other processes, subsequent to
melting, so that 1t looks, smells and tastes
like butter, having a similar appearance,
consistency, texture and flavor"

WORKED IN A HOT ROOM.
Lowry Sims Overcome by Heat at the
Parry Plant.

Lowry Sims. a painter employed by the
Parry Manufacturing Company on South
Illinois street, was overcome yesterday
afternoon by the heat. He was set at work
in room in which no air is allowed to
penetrate. The sultry weather outside soon
began to have an effect and Sims gave way
under the pressure. He fell unconscious at
the feet of several workmen, who called
for the city ambulance. Sims was taken
to the City Hospital by DR.. Schenck and
II was thought for time he could not re-
cover. Last night, however, the officials
of the hospital said that Sims was much
better.
