WOMEN AND PRICE OF BUTTER.
Housewives Insistence on Finest
Grades Blamed for High Cost.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-The general
custom of women OF demanding the
most select grades of butter has
caused the retailer to put prices up
to a point not justified by whole
sale prices, according to statement
by J. R. Mitchell, president of the
Chicago Butter and Egg Board.
The actual difference between the
most fancy grades and the next
grades of good butter is so slight
that the purchaser frequently pays
a 25 per cent increase in price for
not more than or per cent i'm
provement in quality" he said. "The
new tariff law has resulted In the i'm
portation of butter from foreign
countries. Because of the open win
ter, the fresh production of butter
has been unusually heavy and to-day
the fanciest grade of butter is sold
by jobbers at 27 1-2c a pound, and
it should go into consumption at not
over 32c. Then, there are large
quantities of good table butter, both
fresh and storage, not good enough
to grade as extra but fine enough
to grace any mans table, that sells
at wholesale at "a to &c cents a
pound and which should retail at
from 29 to 81 cents a pound.
IF the housewife could get out Of
her expensive habit of asking for
only the best, the retailer could sell
the next grade below extra at from
two to four cents under what he
would ask for the best, and the con-
sumer would be just as well satls-
fed"

He got up rather reluctantly, and

TO FLOAT STRANDED SHIP.
Cutter Apache Goes to Aid Of
Schooner Emily E. Burton.

For the purpose 81 aiding the two
masted bay schooner Emily e. Burton,
the revenue cutter Apache left Balti-
more Monday and will probably have the
vessel afloat today. The Burton went
ashore in the latter part Of last week
on Hack Neck. near Smiths point, on
the Virginia side Of the entrance to the
Potomac river while on her way to Bal
timore with cargo Of pine lumber.
When the vessel stranded the Apache
was unable to go to her assistance and
the cutter Onondaga was sent from Nor
folk to the aid of the Burton. The schoon-
er was found SO far 1nshore that the
Onondaga was not able to get near
enough to her to pull on her effectively,
but the Apache which is of lighter draft,
will be able to float the schooner.
The Burton is well known at this port,
where she frequently comes with lum-
Der from bay points. She is a vessel of
Ss tons register and is $50 feet long. Bal
timore Is her home port, but she was
built at Lewisville, Del, in 1871. After
getting the Burton af1oat and to a place
Of safety 1t is probable that the Apache
will come up to this city.

UNITED STATES QUARANTINE STA
TON. Mouth of Mississippi River, May
l6.-One result of the taking and occu-
patton of the port of Vera Cruz Mexico.
by the American forces has been to draw
attention to the fact that the United
States has the most complete and larg-
est quarantine station of any country in
the world. 1t is located in the Missis-
sippi river and is known as the New Or
leans quarantine station, although 1t IS,
in fact ninety-one miles below New Or
leans. days run by steamship from
that port.
Here there is plant estimated by Sur

worth about 500, 600. The sounds of
the saw ak and hammer force them
selves upon the attention in this quiet
retreat along the banks of the wide
Mississippi, as this is written, and
tented city is springing up beyond the
permanent buildings of the station for
the accommodation and detention of the
thousands of refugees who are coming
north from Mexican ports to enter or
re-enter the United States by way of

out in the Mississippi river to any ship
lying in the stream for fumfgation there:
These outfits pump 10000 cubic feet OF
4 per cent sulphur gas per hour into the
ships when they are fumigated.
Milk and Fresh Eggs.
The station has a small herd Of cattle,
so that II fresh meat could not be OBJ
tanned in an emergency the station could
supply it. There are plenty Of chickens
to supply fresh eggs. and there are milk
cows.
One Of the most interesting points about
the station is what is called the might
inspection room" This is wired so that
it may be brilliantly lighted with cleo
tricity at night, in case there are great
number of ships at the station at one
time and 1t is desired to expedite tneir
passage through quarantine. In TINS Ioon'
200 persons may be gathered at one tune,
and there are so many electric lights
that not one Of the 200 will sand In
shadow or dark during inspection.
An iron fist in a velvet glove charac-
one is polite, but there is a degree Of
hrmness about what one may or may
not do. For those who are tnsubordl-
nate there are handouts, but, as Dr..
Corrupt puts it, the showing Of them Is
generally SUFFICIENT to bring discretion
to that percentage of human beings In
every gathering who do not know how
to obey.
In addition to DR.. Corrupt. the staff
consists OF Assistant Surgeon F. NJ.
FACET Acting Assistant Surgeon Park
Howell, Acting Assistant Surgeon R
T. Perkins, Pharmacist E. NJ. Holt and
force of fifty men.
The New Orleans quarantine station
was established at its present site by the
state of Louisiana in 1888 and was then
known as the Mississippi river quaran-
tine station. In 1906 the public health
service began negotiations for Its trans
fer to the federal government and IT,
tie passed to the United States in 1910.
By reason Of the magnitude of shipping
into the port Of New Orleans and its
dangerous proximity to infectible and in
fected territory. the New Orleans sta
ton Is one Of the most important in the
world. DIR. Corrupt states that it is, as
now equipped, the greatest quarantine
station owned by any government any
where. the second greatest being also
in the United States. at Angel Island,

Smallpox Always There.

In recent months there have been no
great outbreaks of this or any other
.,uarantinable disease in these Mexican
cities, so far as reported, but in these
cities there are always sporadic cases.
In Vera Cruz when the correspondent
of The Star left that port. numbers OF
patients were being taken to the hos
pitfalls each day, suffering with smallpox.
The Mexican peon thinks no more of hav-
ing smallpox than the American at home
does of being laid up with heavy cold.
The idea of the quarantine station. OF
course, is to net" passengers coming
up from South and Central America or
cuba with any of these quarantinable
diseases, to isolate them. to cure them,
and above all, to prevent them from
communicating their disease to other pas
sengers on the ships or from taking 1t
into the United States. This work of
netting suspects goes on all the time

trail American ports, but just at this time

nous passenger lists as the Esperanto

their passengers will be disembarked into

provide additional accommodation ashore
for from 1000 to $500 persons. The
liners are not built to accommodate any
such numbers as some Of them have
brought. Such overcrowding has resulted
in many sleeping on the decks, body to
