PROCESS BUTTER.
An ottumwa Man Writes About Pur-
ity of That Variety.

M. H. Greeley of this city has con-
tributed to a recent number of The
Egg Reporter" journal published at
Waterloo, and sends letter concern
ing the purity of process butter which
he defends ably, citing his experience
with butter making to bear out his po-
sition. His letter follows:
To the Editor:-I wish to say few
words concerning process butter. I
have been engaged in all branches of
ALTERNATING and know that no butter
which is offered for sale today in our
grocery or other stores is any purer
or more wholesome than process but
ter. The making of good process but
ter requires clean, sweet country but
ter. There is no process factory in
existence that can take old, strong or
rancid butter and make a good quality
of process. Process butter is refined
and purified, mixed with sweet milk
and treated just as you would the fin
est separator cream. 1t passes
through a refining process similar to
that which produces the bestquality of
lard. There is nothing in process butter
except sweet milk. salt and butter col
or, and it is as far ahead of the old
ladle butter as creamery is
ahead of country butter. 1t has
brought the price of country butter up
Gas cents. Process butter is fit for
any table. l started to make butter
at Osceola, in 1877 under the old Fair
! lamb system and have followed UP the
business for twenty-five years. I
know what l have said concerning
process is true. There can be no law
against this product. OF course, pro
cess is hurting oleo and butterine, but
it is pure and wholesome, and that
cannot be said of either of the other
substitutes for creamery butter. Here
is long life to process butter!

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Mary cornweII Tires of This Mundane
Sphere.

Despondent on account of poverty.
Mary Cornwell, woman about So
years of age, attempted to commit sui
eide in this city this afternoon. She
was found about 2 o'clock by women
living in the West End of the city
and when discovered was lying on the
ground near Harrows branch, waiting
as she said for death. She refused to
talk further to the women, but when
Officer Sullivan, who was summoned,
arrived, she answered few ques-
lions, telling him her name and her
reasons for wanting to die.
Intended to Poison Herself.
The woman was taken to the county
Jail in the patrol wagon. and as she
was loaded into the vehicle she let
fall a bottle from which she admitted
she had been drinking. 1t is a quart
bottle and had originally contained al
cohol and some weed resembling tan
sy, but the liquid was almost entirely
gone The woman stated that she had
intended to poison herself with the
stuff and asked the officers to let her
alone to die.
Had No Home.
On arriving at the Jail she refused
| to talk except to Mrs Harry Cremer,
the wife of the sheriff, to whom she
said that she wanted to kill herself.
Later to a Courier reporter she said
that she had gone to Harrow's branch,
| where she was found, Ito get away
from trouble-to get away from every

and that she wanted to die. Il have

The unfortunate woman was taken

LAY down upon the bed. She did not
seem to be suffering and it is not
thought that the drink she took is pol
sonous. From present indications she
will be able to take care of herself in
a short time and will look at matters
differently. Her daughter, Mamie
