REAL BUTTER AND
oLEoMARGARINE.

The great majority of people eat
butter and much prefer 1t to any of
the substitutes which have been put
upon, the market. However, a great
many people must eat a substitute on
account of the high prices which pre-
vail during certain months of the year.
Oleomargarine is the most common
substitute for butter and millions Of
pounds of this product are consumed
each year. The difference in cost of
production between oleomargarine and
butter is so great that when butter is
retailed at 40 cents per pound, oleo-
margarine may be retailed az 20 cents
per pound at as great a profit to the
dealer.
The person who chooses to purchase
the substitute should be allowed to do
so and he should be required to pay
only the price of the substitute. The
difference in price between the genu.
inc product and the substitute Is so
great that dealers are tempted to sell
The latter for the former. Only by
requiring that the consumers may diff
ferentiate between the two articles can
honest traffic in the substitute be in
sured.
This was contemplated by congress
when the present internal revenue tax
of 10 cents per pound was levied upon
"artificially coIored oleomargarine.' .
Many people think that all oleomar-
sarine is taxed 10 cents per pound.
This is not fact. Oleomargarine
which is "artifcially colored" SO thar
the consumer cannot distinguish ii
from butter is the only oleomargarine
that is taxed. When 1t is put upon

RenOVatlng
Clothes
THE NEW STYLES ARE or GREAT
ASSISTANCE.

F1E present fashions adapt them
selves beautifully to the renovatina
necessary In so many women's ward
robes at this time OF the year.
The chiffon tunic, for instance, con-
ceals multitude of sins both in nt
and wear An old satin evening gown
may be ripped apart, washed in warm
soapsuds, pressed and made to do
service under one of the many trans
parent materials now SO much thu
vogue.
A dress which has Decoane soiled
around the bottom or which has been
cleaned until 1t becomes dingy may
be completely renovated by adding a
hem OF contrasting color, the same
color also being added to the waist.
Several kinds of lace may be used on
one dress, and in this way sleeves may
be changed and neck built up into high
collars.
The fullness that is left over after
making plain skirt may be used to
make new pair Of elbow sleeves or
underarm seams In waist.
Two dresses can be combined if de-
sired to make guimpe dress with a
deep hem reaching to the knees, and
this will be particularly effective IL
one gown is of cloth and the other OF
silk.
When one has enough material for
a skirt and not enough for the waist
GIL over lace may be dyed to match

lions of the material of the skirt, or q

Two Ways of Cookinq Rice,

. To cold boiled rice add some toma-
toes, enough onion for flavoring and
butter and salt to taste. Put it in an
earthen casserole and bake in an
oven for half an hour. This may be
served as vegetable or may be used
as a substitute for meat. delicious
way of cooking rice for dessert is to
boil two tablespoonfuls of rice until
1T is tender dissolve a box of geIatine
in small cup of water and add this
to the hot rice; then, after it Is cold,
stir in one cup of whipped cream, two
tablespoons of powdered sugar, a tea
spoon of vanilla and a tablespoon of
preserved ginger. Put in a mould and
serve ice cold with whipped cream.

Everybody should plant spring
Towering bulbs and this is the time
TO do 1t. For the woman who can find
no time to raise flowers, as well for the
who tries every kind, crocuses, daffo-
dis and tulips are equally suited. In
the first place they may be stuck into
the ground in sunny place, within
sight of kitchen window preferred,
and they will grow with no further at
tention. and bloom too, for years. Of
course, the garden enthusiast will cod
die them with dead leaves and old ma
nure and thus perhaps get a little
finer flowers. These bulbs are usu-
ally planted in regular beds, but as
their foliage dies down in May or June
after blooming is over, this practice
leaves a bare spot which must be
planted with something else. This is
avoided If the bulb beds are made at
the edge Of borders of shrubbery. The
tall plants make a good back ground
for the blooming bulbs, and later the
overhanging branches protect the RI
pening bulbs. Plant all Dutch bulbs
deep, out of danger of frost
Lilies also should be planted in Sep
TENDER. The most hardy are perhaps
the tiger lily and the Madonna (Liliuni
Candidum). The latter blooms in June
and is much like an Easter lily. They
should be set in a pocket Of sand, six
inches deep.
Save box of good potting soil, get
ting 1t into the cellar for use in winter.
A good mixture is three parts garden
soil, one part sand. and one part well
rotted manure. This is about right for
geraniums. cacti and foliage plants.
Peonies are a good plant for the busy
woman, as they require little care. In
fact they resent digging about their
roots. They like a sunny situation
and rich soil They will well repay
covering OF old manure foot deep
before freezing weather. There are
many varieties Of peonies. and by
choosing early, medium and late sorts,
they bloom from May until -uly.

Don'ts for Babies Diet,

E. r. Pritchard, secretary of the

ducers.
