Ahnnt Rntter Color

One of the newspapers has received 6
letter from farmer, who says: '1t /:
rumored that the ordinary butter colors
we have been using are now unlawful.
Can you tell me if this is SO, and what
takes their place. if anything is allowed?'
This is the reply: We believe that the
national pure-food law. which went into
effect the first of the year, forbids the use
of coaltar colors. However, vegetable
coloring will be permitted until further in
vestigations>..re made. We look for some
trouble among our farmers on account of
this provision. The trade prefers some
color to butter, and the law may be bro
ken in some instances to meet that de-
mand; for it is urged in some quarters
that there is not enough vegetable color
ing raw material in existence to supply
the demand. By all means, it need hardly
be said, it is better to abide by the pro-
vision even if the butter sales fall off for
time. The coloring matter does not i'm
prove the butter, but may be the means
of adulterating 1t.

Howard Haines and Maurice Horn are
preparing themselves for position with
the Camden and Trenton Railway Co.
The entertainment which was to have
been given In the church ON the evening
of the anniversary of Washington's birth.
has been indefinitely postponed on &C.
count of the death of Mrs. Asa Carly.
BY the death of Mrs. Asa Carly, which
occurred Friday last, gloom Is cast over
the village and sadness reigns in the
hearts of those who loved her. She was
stricken with paralysis the first Sunday of
this year and was patient sufferer until
death came to her relief. Words are in
adequate to express our feelings for this
"Great Mother In Israel" whom every
one loved and revered. Her life has been
one of sacrifice and devotion and she holds
a record that is unparalleled for admins
tering to the wants of the living, comfort
ing the dying, and performing the last acts
for the dead. Who, from the Oldest to
the youngest, cannot recall some loving
service and act of kindness performed by
"aunt Sarah 2" Who could bind up
wounds and relieve suffering with sooth
ing, sympathetic touch. but "aunt Sarahi"
But, alasi the hand that soothed and was
her only defence against death, Is still; the
voice is silent and the face and form that
we loved is hid from our view; but the
mind will visualize that beloved form and
''aunt Sarah" will live in our hearts for
ever. This great and noble woman was
| born eighty years ago. of strong and
sturdy ancestors, being the sixth child of
family of twelve. When fifteen years
of age she was converted to the Baptist
faith, making her a member of that de-
nomination sixty years Her patient
suffering was only typical of her every
day life. and the saying, eff you would
have friends, be friend, has been veri.
i fed during her sickness, when willing
hands and loving hearts were numero us
in their offerings. She lived long, USE
full life full of child-like Christian faith,
and we who mourn her loss can do no bet
ter than to emulate her spotless character,
purity of living, and the always ready and
willing spirit to be of service to some one.
While her friends were partially prepared
for the great change, her death Is only
mitigated by her intense sufferings. She
is survived by her husband, no children
having been born to them, whose un
ceasing devotion is worthy of comment
and who has the sympathy of the entire
community in this cutting asunder Of
hearts that have been united for fifty
: eight years.
