statistical proof that young women I'M

BUTTER MAGIC.

Among the innumberable "hunches'' for adding miracu1ously to our food supply is that of New York genius who has scheme for growing two pounds of butter where one grew before. The thinR's perfectly simple. Housewives all over this far land can turn every pound of butter they buy into two pounds and save nearly half their butter bills
 You just take half pound of butter and half pint of milk, cut up the butter into small chunks, warm the milk, put them together, and stir them up with an egg bester or mayonnaise mixer until they've turned to a smooth, cream colored compound. You set the stuff in the ice box to cool. Then you have poun1 of creamery butter.
 This indeed is food magic. Any housewife who wants to fool herself into a conviction that she is getting a pound of butter for the price of half 8 pound of that commodity and half a pint of milk, plus little elbow grease, is welcome to the fiattering delusion. It may really Ego farther.' too, when spread on bread. But if what she wants is nourishment, her family might just as we'll eat the bitter by itself and drink the milk by itself, and save the work.
 Of course, the mixing doesn't add a particle of butter fat or other nutri- ment. Are there any other magical recipes for making food go farther" of the same sort?-Waterbury Repub- lican.
