This Matter, and Says Vio1ators Will Be Prosecuted

ed or marked in conspicuous place
with the word 'oleomargerine' or but
terine' or imitation butter as. the
case may be.
Renovated butter. How marked.
No person by himself or his agents, or
servants, shall manufacture, sell, Of
fer for sale or expose for sale, butter
that is produced by taking original
packing stock or other butter, or both,
and melting the same so that the but
ter fat can be drawn off, then mixing
the said butter fat with skim milk or
milk or cream, or other milk product,
and Returning the said mixture; or
that is produced by any similar proc
ess, and is commonly known as
boiled or process butter, unless the
tub, firkin or other original package
in which the same may be put up,
be distinctly, legibly and durably
branded, stamped or marked in a con-
spicuous place with the words "reno-
waited butter" in printed letters, not

half inch in width: or be in prints,
boxes or rolls not plainly and con.
spicuously labeled on the wrapper
thereof with said words, renovated

ter inch in width"
The following section applies to
those serving meals who are using

less than five dollars nor more than
ten dollars for each and every offense

ENMARk.

The old and antiquated firearms
borne by the veterans of the wars OF
184S and 1864 have been distributed
among those venerable heroes, but the
government had too few of them to go
around. This was a grateful act on
tha part of the government and is
highly appreciated not only by the
veterans thus remembered, but also by
the Danish people in general.
Prince Erik, the third son of Prince
Valdemar and Princess Marie, who is
unlike his two elder brothers, Aage
and Axel. he will not enter the Danish
navy, but will make agriculture his
profession. This is something new for
tie royalty of Denmark, but the par
ents of the boy and King Frederick are
going 10 let him have his way. They
have not yet decided, however, where
he shall begin his agricultural studies,
for study he must, of course, and
that most thoroughly, as in Denmark
agriculture is recognized as science.
According to big Danish paper, the
number of servants in Denmark at
present is 242,0O0, of whom 145, 900 are
women and $4,000 are men. The num-
Der of children at work is quite large.
There are $1,000 under Is years of age
and $4,000 between Is and 10 years of
age. Of the army of laborers, 14SOO0
work in the country in agricultural
pursuits and $4,000 are occupied in
the cities. The average wages of the
men is 2S1 crowns per year; that Of
the women is 1870, crowns per year.
The country laborers, who support
themselves. get 492 crowns per year

MINoT SAFE ROBBED OF $500,

S~'sss SsSs ~ ~ OtubuS vI8lSS0 0y
Crooks.
Burglars entered the Office Of d. A.
Dinnie at Minot and robbed the safe
Of $500 in currency.
The combination on the safe was
turned, steel door was unlocked and
the cash box was opened. The safe
was mutilated in no manner. Every.
thing was left in perfect condition.
The burglars must have entered
through the front door of the office
and must have had key to it, for
this morning it was locked as usual.
The only other entrance to the front
office is through door leading to the
work rooms in the rear and this was
securely bolted from the inside. This
indicates that the burglar entered the
front door, rifled the safe and de.
parted through the front door, locking
1t as he went out.
The burglar must have been an
adept at safe combinations and must
have had good supply of skeleton
keys in order to get into the safe. The
safe is a large Diebold with an inner
door Of steel and steel cash boxes. Mr..
Dinnie himself locked the cash boxes
as we'll as the inner steel door, and
also turned the combination.
When Mr.. Mclaughlin. the foreman,
returned to the Office, all the doors in
the safe were opened and the cash
drawer was unlocked. The money
which had been placed in the safe
with which to pay the men in Mr.. Din.
MES employ, was gone.
