cents pound and the milk will cost
? cents pound. The 100 pounds of
the first will cost $500 and the second
$500, total of $1,000 for 200 pounds
of process butter, or 5 cents per pound.
This stuff is sold retail, for Is cents
pound and at profit of $4,000 or 200
per cent is realized Now, as before
sajG, this ''half butter" for it is one
half milk, may be found on sale in
every Town and city in Indiana, and
as milk is thereby sold at a butter
price, us boosters are badly swindled.
Why isn't this swindling stopped?
The answer is very simple. The leg
islature, so far has refused an appro-
priation for the enforcement of the
pure food law. Indiana's pure food
law is most excellent in every partic-
ular and has been upheld by the Su-
preme Court in every point, but it
wont enforce itself. The State Board
of Health asked the last legislature
for labratory in which to make an
alyses of food to detect and prove
authorizations in the courts, and asked
also for proper appropriation for en-
forcing the law. Nothing was done,
and the people pay s15, 900 daily for
authorizations. In the matter Of but
ter alone they pay $3.50 daily for
authorizations as appears in the follow
ing estimate.
If we assume that on average, each
of the 1850, 900 inhabitants of our
state eats daily one teaspoonful of
butter, weighing l dIachm land the
estimate is very low, then each day
there is eaten 20. 7O3 pounds or ten
tons. If we further assume that ten
percent is adulterated, and we know
positively it is over 20 per cent, then
there are sold each day 2 900 pounds
of adultcrated butter. AS one half of
this is water and is sold at Is cents a
pound, we therefore, spend $50 per
day for water in our butter. This
amounts to s44, 10000 per year. This,
however, is almost nothing when COM
pared with the sum total of loss on ac-
count of all kinds of authorizations
which exist in the state. The sum
total is not less than So, 900, 900. How
long will it be before the legislature
acts in this matter?

The Elkhart Review utters these
lofty sentiments: "There are certain
common obligations that each should
discharge more ardently, more wisely,
more persistently in the year we greet.
The laws of the social relations and of
obligation one to the other press upon
us certain duties that passing years
make more necessary of wise and con-
sentative performance. Civic duties,
citizenship and social relationship,
business ties, home obligations deepen
and broaden with each advancing
twelve month, and the individual of
today has wider range of influence,
finer adjustment to his fellOwman, a
deeper obligation to humanity than
the man of even year ago. We
sometimes forget that the whole cir
cumferenct of a mans being is en-
larged with the expanding reach of
intellect, opportunity and achieve
ment.''

1t is said the announcement that
Fred Lands is a candidate for con-

not scare Major Steele little bit.
There are now four avowed candi-
dates, Cowgirl, of Wabash, Good, of
Huntington, Lands, of Cass and
Strele of Grant. Steele usually figures
that the more candidates there are
the better his chances for nomination
He has been in Congress twenty years,

tion but it is evident that he now has
the fight of his life.

Walter Brown of Elkhart is can-

manship of the Elkhart county repub-
lican central committee. If there is
ANYTHING else that he wants he should
not hesitate to file his claim.

PROCESS BUTTER
What II Costs Annually in Indiana to
Permit Butter to Be AduIterated.

j. n. Hurry, secretary of the state
board of health, asks us to print the
following article:
In every town and city in Indiana
is to be found on sale what is known
as 'sprocess BUTTER OF course, it is
not sold under this name but is offered
for sale as ''pure country butter.
Process butter is simply old rancid
butter and spoiled oleomargarine
washed in water containing soda to
neutralize the acids which cause the
rancidity. aud then by aid of pepsin
or chemicals mixed with milk. The
following directions will enable any
one to make process butter''
Take 100 pounds of old butter and
oleomargarine. which has 'sgone off
sale" in groceries because it has spoiled
melt it carefully at as low tempera-
ture as possible and strain out the
flies, ants, hair and other dirt. Let
the strained melted stuff flow into ice
water, which is continually agitated
in order to break up the fat into gran
ules. The ice water must contain
some soda, about one ounce to every
five gallonss When the granulated
fat rises to the top, which it will do
upon standing, change the old ''soda
ice water" for fresh to wash the gran
ules. Now having gotten your fat
ready mix it with an equal weight of
milk in revolving churn. The milk
may be made to mix, or rather emul-.
sionize with the butter by simple
trick as follows: Warm the milk to
100 degrees and add enough good pep
sin or renet TO change it to a firm
sweet clabber. In this state it may be
easily mixed with butter. The .old
off-sale butter" will cost eight cents

O'BRIEN ELECTED CHAIRMAN.

The democratic state committee
met at indianapolis Wednesday, jan
uary sth and elected William HI.
O'Brien of Lawrenceburg chairman.
O'Brien is a gold Democrat. The
contest narrowed down to the field
against Fleming Of Fort Wayne. 1t
is said that O'Brien will be accep.-
able to the free silver faction which is
not in reality earnestly in favor of free
coinage,-only bluffing to keep the
populists in the democratic party.
Even Dan Mcdonald is expected to
abandon silver at any time and declare
that no sensible man ever believed in
free coinage. During caucus Of the
forces arrayed against Fleming We'd

manship was offered TO j. t. Tanning,
but he declined it. 1t was also offer
ed to Committeeman Hendren, of the
Second district, and he also declined
the place. Both men declined To have
the craftsmanship for the sake of har-
moDy.
The committeeman who voted for
O 'Brien were Hendren, of the Second:
Duffin, of the third; Dixon, of the
Fourth; McNutt, Ct the Fifth: Magee,
of the Sixth: Tanning, of the Seventh;
Liyengood, of the Ninth; Sims, of the

Some years ago St. Joseph county

Some years ago st. Joseph county
lawyer was employed to prepare a
will. He did so, and it is alleged
ignorantly accepted the wife of de-
visee as a witness, which of course in
validated the will. A person to whom
$4,000 was intended to be given by the
instrument and who lost it has brought
suit against the lawyer for that
amount, on the ground that be had no
right to draw a will when he did not
know even the simple requirements Of
the statute. The case has been seLt
to Elkhart county for trial.

WILD STORIES OF GOV. SHAW
Washington People Have Lurid Ideas Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury.

Washington Correspondents say
the advent of Leslie NJ. Shaw into Of
fetal life in Washington is awaited
expectantly. All kinds of stories
have been floating around the capital
since President Roosevelt first an
nounced that he intended to make the
Iowa man a member of his cabinet.
Some Of these have been so wild and
lurid that Mr.. Shaw may do almost
anything, and his actions will be view
ed with comparative compOsure by the
Washington public, prepared, as it is,
by these reports. Mr.. Shaw wasted
no time during his recent short visit
here in denying reports. In fact, his
appearance and actions gave more or
less color to them. He stopped at
the Arlington hotel, but he forgot to
tell any one he was going there, so the
telephone messenger at the white
house had trying time locating the
new cabinet officer and conveying to
him the information that the preSi-
dent desired to see him Immediately.
On receiving this summons, Mr.. Shaw
did not put on a frock coat and silk
hat, as is customary for visits to the
white house. He did not even go
there in a cab, but started off across
Lafayette square on foot.
On his second visit TO the white
house he was accompanied bySecretary
Gage. The latter was sphinx and span,
with his long coat and glossy tile.
Mr.. Shaw had on the same clothes he
had travelled in. He did not look at
like cabinent officer or prospective
one: Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
occasionally goes to the white house
in SLOUGH hat, but he never wears
one which has the unmistakable signs
of hard and constant use, as did that
which Mr.. Shaw wore.
1t is affirmed by some of the men,
berS of the Iowa congressional delega-
ton that the new secretary of the
treasury has never worn an evening
suit and that he has told some of his
friends that he intends TO be as In
dependent in matters of drees as in
other things when he gets settled
pown in Washington. Senator Joseph
W. Bailey or Texas had similar ideas
when he first came to Washington as
a congressman. He insisted upon his
statesman coat and broad brimmed
hat, but nowanights Mr.. Bailey can
be seen with evening suit and silk hat
the same as the rest of the officials
who m.ngle in society. So the other
officials here are waiting and wonder
ing what Mr.. Shaw will do about it,
One of the stories afloat which the
new cabinet minister neglected to
deny and which will make him more
or less an object of curiosity is that
he has six toes on each foot. One in
quisitive correspondent while inter-
viewing him continually looked at Mr..
Shaw feet, which were incased in a
pair of calfskin shoes made on an ex-
tremely broad last. The Iowan ac-
commodatingly stuck his foot out
where the correspondent could get the
best possible view and smiled know
ingly, thus indicating that he knew
the story was making the rounds.
The correspondent did not have the
nerve to put the question which was
uppermOst in his mind, SO Mr.. Shaw
was spared the necessity of denying or
affirming this question which IS so
worrying cabinet circles.

The editor of tbs Independent made
another spectacle of himself over at
South Bend Thursday at the congress

motion which he had no right to
make, and which was clearly out Of
order, and properly declared as such,
by Ed. r. Monroe, chairman OF the

Yet 1t was Mr.. Balfour who u few
years later had accomplished much to.
ward the paciiication of Ireland. His
name became amusingly prominent In
Irish families. A gentleman driving
into the town Of WestpOrt, County
Mayo, was stopped by pig which ran
In front of his horse. An old peasant
shouted across the ditch to boy who
was watching the pig stupidity:
"Arrah, Mick, will We stir yerself

Struck by the name, the gentleman
asked the old man about 1t, ana found
that In gratitude to Mr.. BalfOur, who
had been the means Of getting them the
pig, the peasant had given the animal
his name.
