A Drummer Among Legislators.

A drummer by the name of John
Dutton, who was stopping at hotel
in Montpelier. VT, when the legislature
was in session. found his hotel, the Pa
vilion, was the headquarters Of most
OF the representatives.
When supper was announced the
legislators rushed in and took their
places and began to call upon each
other to pass the food saying: will
the man from Bradford please pass the
rolls? ?" or will the gentleman from
Essex pass the pie?' or Would the
man from Portland please pass the
butter?"
This did not suit the drummer, who
had been unable to get anything, and
during brief interval of quiet he
turned to the colored waiter and re-
marked: win the gentleman from
Ethiopia please pass the bread?'-

costumes required by girl of the up

wear the costly and elaborate dresses
which their rank demands at the We'd

On the whole it may be asserted
that a frugal princess may spend as

State Pure Food Law Will Add
Immensely to Value Of Iowa
Dairy Product
MEANS BETTER PRICES
e. M. Wentworth Claims 1t Will Mean
Moro Than Million Dollars in Way
Of Better Prices for Iowa Butter -
Butter Sure to Score Higher in the
Law is Enforced.

Des Moines, July 16.-According to f.
NJ. Wentworth, agent in Iowa for the
Pennsylvania railroad and who next to
Dairy and Food Commissioner II. r.
Wright is the best posted man in the
state of Iowa on butter production the
new law making 1t a punishable offense
to sell or buy impure milk or cream
TO be manufactured into human food,
will give the farmers of Iowa annually
$16O000O more for their product.
Mr.. Wentworth is much interested
in the new law because Pennsylvania
handles more Iowa butter than any
other railroad. He said that the new
law prohibiting the use of impure milk
or cream in the manufacture of butter
will raise the standard of butter three
butter that has heretofore ranked as
second class on the New York market,
first class. The butter that has ranked
as first class will rank here after as
Western Extra" A vast amount of
butter that nA. tallen DeloW SecoHa
class will be brought up to that CLASH
fication.
Butter that has scored IS is ranked
as second class. Butter scoring 81
is ranked as first class and butter
scoring above a3 ranks as Eastern
Extra With the use of pure cream
taken from pure milk and the prohibi-
ton of the use of any that Is impure.
by the same process of manufacture
Mr.. Wentworth claims the butter will
be so much better that it will test
higher by at least three points. This
will bring the butter of each class up
to the class above. This will insure
price two cents better on the pound
for the butter and as there Is annual
y shipped from this state to the east
about eighty million pounds of butter
the new law means an increase OF
s1.6O0,000 for the butter product Of
Iowa in addition to giving the butter
better reputation and insuring 1t
wider market. The greater part of this
increase of $1,6O0,000 will go into the
pockets of the farmers of the state who
dispose Of their milk and cream to the
creameries of the state.
