rs DIFFICULT OF DETECTION.
Takes an Expert to Locate the Adul-
teration-A Boom for Down
trodden Farmer.

DR.. S. J. Crumbine, secretary Of the
state board Of health, and some Of the
pure food inspectors have unearthed
new scheme whereby the down-trod-
den farmer can double his money on
butter, Topeka (Kans.) correspond
ent of the Kansas City Times says.
A Kansas City firm is selling prep
aration that makes 1t possible to add
100 per cent of water to butter and
still make such good butter that only
experts can tell that 1t Is watered
stock. A pound Of real butter. a
pound of ordinary water and ten drops
Of this emulsion churned together
make two pounds Of butter. The
emulsion appears something like glue.
1t is sticky and rather thick, out trans
parent 1t is harmless and has no
deleterious effect except to add to the
weight Of the butter.
Four ounces Of the emulsion cost
quarter. A pound Of butter in Topeka
is worth 80 to 35 cents. A pound Of
water purchased from a distilling
plant might cost 2 mills. The house
wife who has all sorts Of trouble max
ing her allowances go a week could
invest half a dollar in the crockery
churn, put In pound Of butter, a
pound OF water and ten drops Of this
emulsion and produce 20 cents worth
of butter. Any woman with churn
and the emulsion can cut her butter
bills in two. Any one who knows
how to work churn can do this.
The farmer who cannot raise enough
cows and hogs and grain to buy a
motor car would not have much trou-
Bile doubling his income from the but
ter. With ten pounds Of well water
that did not cost cent he could pro-
duce twenty pounds of butter.
The firm that is making the emul-
sion is making the best play to the
hotels. They show the hotel manager
how the butter bills can be reduced
fully one-half by the investment Of
a dollar. What Is more, the firm Is
able to prove its contention. The
wife of one of the inspectors took
some of the emulsion purchased by
her husband, pound Of butter and
a pound of water and turned out two
pounds of butter recently. Samples
were sent to half dozen persons who
are supposed to know first class but
ter and every one Of them pronounced
the watered butter to be extra high
class.
The emulsion makes 1t possible to
whip water into the butter and also
makes 1t impossible Of detection ex-
cept by an expert.

There is no doubt that modern in
dustrial development tends irresist-
ibly to large corporate organizations
and to Affiliations which will reduce
the friction Of competition where pow
erful interests are liable to come into
conflict with destructive effect. But
the working Of such a system cannot
be safely left to the will Of those who
devise and direct its operation. 1t
must be subject to regulation. to re-
quirements and prohibitions Of law. at
once effective and enforcible. The ad-
tustment Of regulation has not kept
pace with the development, and they
must somehow be brought into har-
mony by adaptation to secure the ben
eft Of development without an abuse

SEEING DOUBLE.
NON~O~~N%~

A well-known oculist of New York
City tells story Of one of his pa
tients who proved rather more than a
match for him. The patient was a
quaint old fellow from one of the rural
counties of the State, fifty years of age
or more, who strolled leisurely into
the doctors Office, and after taking an
optical inventory of the place, includ-
ing the doctor himself, remarked that
he was afraid that his eyes were git
ting a leetle out O. kilter," and he
guessed the doctor had better take
peek at them"
He was seated and, as a prelimin-
airy, was invited to look through q
prism at a photograph.
why, now," said he, after squint-
ing a while, "this Is curious. l see
two photographs. What makes me see
like that?"
The doctor. who is something of a
humorist and inclined to be jocose
with certain of his patients. replied
that this phenomenon was certainly
very interesting and that while pos
sibly 1t indicated some slight abnomal-
ity, 1t yet had its compensating advan-
tages.
with double vision you have a
great advantage over me, for exam
ple," he continued, smiling, "for you
will be able to see twice as many beau.
tiful things in the world as I can You
will have twice as many friends Your
family will be doubled. You will have
twice as much real estate and two
pocketbooks instead of one, and when
you hitch up your horse to drive out,
you will have a span.".
The old fellow did not say much in
reply, but seemed to be pondering It;
and meantime the doctor completed
his examination. and having made the
appropriate prescription, 1t came time
to receive his fee, which in this case
was ten dollars.
Very slowly the old man, still pom
dering, drew forth a roll of bills, and
carefully selecting five, looked hard
at 1t for some moments. then profrer-
ing 1t, said quietly. Here's your ten
dollars, doctor"

FIRST SCHOOL-DAY IN ALSACE

A glimpse of the strenuous and sus-
tanned battle against ignorance fought
by the pioneer teachers of the Old
World In the days preceding the
French Revolution is given by Rev. E.
Gilliat, in a recent book, Heroes Of

sionizer has appeared, one who dis
solves the fables in corrosive sublimats
quite as conclusiyely as does Gugliel'

and gambling king, son Of the Mrs.

virtue of his sonship heir to her
knowledge of exactly how the Chicago
fire did start. He has felt moved In
the interest of truth and Of vindicat-
ing his parent in human history to
attest the facts in the case and to ex
onerate the blameless bovine. Mrs
O'Leary, her son AYERS, believed in the
big stick II the upbringing Of her
progeny. and tolerated no antics in
her cattle If little Jim, who is now
big Jim," wasn't tucked In bed by

Nor did the disciplined bovines in the
O'Leary barn dare flick a tail in the

COWS ventured to misbehave. 1t was
green hay in the loft, over whose
antics the lady could exercise no con-
troll, that by spontaneous combustion

another fake in the interests of pro-

Barbara Fritchie never wagged her
"old gray head" above the rebel
horde" in Fredericktown. Sherman
never rode the twenty miles a-down
the Shenandoah to save the day. But
we had hopes that Mrs. O'Leary and
her cow were real figures upon the
historic stage. These hopes are now
shattered irremediably.

thought. "Pll jump out and grab
Peaches when she comes. Won't she
be surprised to see her aunty?"
No hostess was waiting for her on
the long veranda. but beyond, among
the vines, there was the flutter OF a
childs frock, the glimpse Of chubby
bare arms and fluffy golden head.
"It must be Peaches. Peaches in the
dress l made her." thought Rose.
But what is she carrying? OH" The
girl ran forward just as the lighted
Chinese lantern fell and famed against
the muslin ruffies. Her long coat was

struggling. screaming child. Another
moment, and the veranda seemed
crowded with excited people, but just
that one first little minute, and that
only, had been enough to save Peaches.
Rose lay awake that night long,
long while. Somehow all would not
come straight in her mind. She SEEM

looking anxiously at Rose.
