Salt for Butter,

It used to be thought that any salt
was good enough for butter so long
as it would dissolve in reasonable
time. 1t was only little by little that
men found out differently Not till
people began to get particular about
the flavor in their butter did the spe-
cial butter salt appear on the market.
The old salt had been the cause Of
much butter being rejected. One gro
Ger kept his salt near pile of dried
fish. AS the salt was in bags and the
fish in piles the very decided smell
from the fish permeated the salt.
Every farmer that used that salt and
sold his butter had complaints about
the fishy smell in his butter. At last
some bright fellow traced the fish
smell to the pile of dried fish alongside
of the pile of salt bags. Another COM
munity had trouble with it's butter
smelling like kerosene and traced the
trouble to the salt, which was in an
open bin alongside of several kerosene
barrels. Now the handlers of salt for
dairy purposes are on the lookout for
just such combinations in the gro
ceries and warn their patrons that the
salt must be kept sealed from outside
smell. We doubt not that much of the
complaint with farm butter comes in
directly from the salt, which has been
stored in all kinds of places in the
farm house and has taken in some of
the numerous smells that belong to
farm vegetables.

STRONGHEART.

Bubbling over with youthful Ameri-
canism is ''Strongheart,' the new COM
edy drama by William C. De Mile, in
which Henry B. Harris will reintroduce
Robert Edeson to local theater-goers
on January Is at the Hyperion theater.
Mr.. Edeson typifies wildly character
new to the stage, that of the educated
Indian. Strongheart is the son of a
chief and has been educated by his
tribe. who appreciate the advantages
of the white mans civilization. At
Columbia university, where he is first
presented by the author, he has become
a hero in the eyes of his classmates
because of his prowess on the gridiron.
Football figures largely in the develop
ment of the plot and in the providing
of comedy. The second act of Strong
heart is laid in the training quarters
of Columbia's eleven, and the author
pictures aptly the incidents between the
first and second halves of the contest.
The engagement here is for one night
only. Seats on sale Monday.
