THE OLEOMARGARINE FRAUD.

One Of the arguments used by the
southern papers who have been led to
hin that it would be good for the Oil
interests in the South to let the oleo
people color their product in imitation
or butter, is that oil is more
Wholesome than animal products. But
they overlook the fact that more ami
NAL product enters into the making Of
oIeo than c~ottOnseed oil. Why talIow
from any part Of an animal should be
more wholesome than the milk Of
cows. is hard to understand.
Then they call it class legislation to
protect the datryman from fraud.
Every n has a right to defend hts
trademark, and the yellow color is
the trademark Of the dairyman. and
no one should be allowed to initiate it
with a cheaper article. IN this whole
contest there is the one fact to be kept
in mind. That is, that the only pos
slble reason for coloring oleomargarine
is to make it look more like butter.
and to max people think hat it is
real butter The present law has not
hurt the sale Of c~ottonseed oil a par
dcle, while its abolition would ruin an
industry now far more important to

I have seer many of these men dur
ing my travels in India They never
wash and pride themselves In their
uncleanliness. Their methods OF tor
ture are legion. I have seen some VINO
have sat or stood until their oodies
have stifened, and they could hardly
move * they WOULD Some hold thelr
arms erect Until the nails grow into
the flesh. There are fakirs at Ben
ares who never sit down and others
who lie on beds Of spikes or nails or
upon masses of broken stones.
Some try to acquire merit by re-
fusirg to sleep and others by eahng
all sorts OF vile foods. Such men carry
about human sku1ls as drinking cups.
Among these religious frauds are
those Who cIaim they can remain
buried underground for a time With
out dying. Others are able to Walk
through fire. n at every holy TAR

is out in the open, and the fifth fire is
on his head.
You have all heard of the Jugger-
maui car. That is a fraud that was
carried on at one pace In India. Among
other ~tor1nents are the thrusting OF
pieces Of iron through the flesh, and
especially through the tongue, and an
other is the swinging to and fro of
steel hooks fastened into the muscles
OF the arms and breasts. Such things
are not common here. But they may
be seen now and then: and the people
believe that those who practice them
acquire merit, and thereby attain a
higher position in the transHnigrations
to come.

Squire Barley declares that the
cotton and corn on these lands this
year are unusually fine, and that the
crops. If anything. are better than
those produced last year.
Thirty years ago. these lands were
owned by very poor men, n were
scarcely productive enough to warrant
planting them in anything, while to-
day. they are owned by thrifty we'll

Board Of Regents 10 Expected TO Name
Man for Place at Next Meeting,
June 20.
ANN ARBOR. Mich, June 9.-(Spe-
cial. lit Is stated that II is almost
certainty that at the next meeting OF
the board OF regents OF the university
on June 26 there will be named a
president for term OF years.
Under present conditions Acting
President Hutchins cannot give the
ONCE the attention II deserves be-
cause he Is still dean Of the law de-
partment and the regents realize that
he is greatly handicapped In his work
In both Offices.
II is understood that the regents
are practically agreed upon the man
who will act as president OF the insti'
tuition for q term OF years, probably
Ave, and unless something happens TO
make this step inadvisable before the
next meeting, II will be taken.
People who have kept In close
touch with the situation since Presi.
dent Angel resigned are Of the opin-
ion that Acting President Hutchins
will be the man selected for the place.
although, OF course, the regents will
not make any announcement as TO
who is being considered for the place.

sters. He said that he proposed to
spend considerable money this year
for material. Every man that even
promises to have chance to make
good In fast company will be pur-
chased. In fact. the purchasing OF
players has already begun.
A tentative option on Pitcher Mover

secured recently. This pitcher gives
promise OF being wonder. He has
not lost game this year. and I'm the

This Is Meyers first year In baseball
but he has shown SO much ability that
nearly every major league club has
had its scouts look-him- over and
numerous offers have been made fol-
him. But II happens that the owner
is a personal friend OF McAleer and
he refuses to sell his player until Nc
Aleer had chance to secure him.
1t is not unlikely that Meyer will
join the Nationals before the season is
much further advanced.

Prof. A B. Stevens, OF Ann Arbor,
Issued strong plea for the adoption
and general use OF the metric system
OF measurement among druggists, In.
stead OF the troy weight system now
In most general use. His topic was
AN International system OF weights
and measures"
lie pointed out that the decimal al
vision OF the metric system. which Is
the real international system Is far
more accurate than the confused sys-
TEN OF ounces and pints: that IL ~
easier 10 work with. when once ma +
tered. and guarantees q perfect stand.
ard. with exactly correct percentages
OF various drugs.
He pointed out that the government,
uses the metric system exclusively In
the marine service. and even I'm the
United States mint. and In the foreign
division OF the postal service.
He declared that absolute accuracy
In making and filling prescriptions,
between the physician and the pha!-
macist. could he reached only by the
use Of the metric system by both.
The paper created a long discussion,
with most of those present. heartily
fayoring the system. which all de-
clared more scientific and more accu-.
ate than the ounce and pint system.
but several pharmacists took the posi-
ton that they could hardly adopt the
metric system. while they were re.
ceiylng their goods measured in the
old way. and were dispensing then
labeled ounces and drains. while acL.
ually filling them as grammes and
litres.
Prof Stevens. however. replied 10
the objection with the statement that
In few years, the metric system OF
weights and measures would be the
standard In the United States, In
every trade and profession. including
architecture, structural work. mer-
chandising. and pharmacy.
You NAV hinder it's arrival. but
you can't stop IT," said the speaker.
1T Is bound to come, for the United
States has the worst system of weigh X
and measures I'm the world. For in.
stance. we have three distinct kinds ~
ounces. the fluid ounce. the troy
oupnce, and the avordupois ounce. II
causes endless figuring TO mix solids
and liquids in so many parts per 100,
and there is ALWAYS fractional differ
ence at the end.
