ST. Louis Housewife Has Been Seek

and a Half Without
Success

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 14-Buttermilk.
churned with a hickory dasher, in an
old-fashioned cedar churn, by a farm
ers boy who would rather be fishing
or hunting rabbits, is wanted by Mrs.
Frank b. Northrop of 4004 Lindell
boulevard. Such buttermilk, she says.
is rarer than precious Jewels and
worth its weight in gold.
For eighteen months Mrs. Northrop
has been making a search throughout
the United States for genuine butter
milk. She wants buttermill1 just as
the farmers wives used to make it,
with the rich, delicious globules of
golden butter floating on the top of it
to give it flavor.
Despairing of finding perfect butter
milk through her individual efforts,
Mrs. Northrop has appealed to the
public through the want columns. Her
requirements are specifically set forth
in this three-liner:
ButtermiIk Wtd.-Pure buttermilk;

"Fhere is plenty of. so-called butter
milk on the market" said Mrs. North
rop, "but the genuine article is hard
to find. have been troubled with in
testinal indigestion for long time, and
pure buttermilk is the only thing 1 can
find to give me relief. I have Travelled
all over the country searching for pure
buttermilk.
Drink Fit for King
1.-THE farmers wife kept her cream in
cedar churn-and it was real cream,
with no adulterations-and then she
churned it with a hickory dasher. The
butter would gather at the top, and
she would remove the bulk of it, leav-

buttermilk was fit for king to drink,
and that is the kind of buttermilk
have been trying to get.
"Such buttermilk is cure for all
ills. 1t is especially good for stomach
and intestinal troubles, and knocks
headaches quick as lightning. 1t makes
fat people thin and thin people fat.
1t is a sort of regulator of the human
physique. 1t builds up strong, solid
flesh and muscle, and gives tone to the
body from head to foot.
For meat eaters, especially butter
milk is essential. 1t is the best of all
foods and medicines.
1.-The buttermilk sold by the daires
Is an abomination. They have sep
arating and churning processes that
take all the nutriment from the milk
impoverishing it and rendering it prac-
tfcally valueless as food and medicine.

pure buttermilk from a South ST.
Louis family that kept COW and a

Dairymen Think They Have It
"But they have a sick child, and
now have to give it the surplus but
termilk. I have tried churning butter
milk myself, but have not been sue
cessful. 1 tell you, the farmers wives
in the old days were the best butter
milk makers in the world. I would
give anything if I could churn every
day just such rich, delicious butter
milk as I have seen come from the
farmers homes. l have spent a great
deal of money trying to get it, but 1
have had poor success.
my telephone has been ringing al
most constantly since I inserted the
want advertisement in the Post-Dis-
patch One dairy had the nerve to call
up. A lot of other people have called
who thought they had buttermilk to
sell. I hope to make arrangements
with a North st. Louis man, who
seems to know buttermillx when he
sees it.

clans have insisted that I drink moth

ever 1 could get it 1 have improved
