Butter and OleOmargarine
SOth VALUABLE FOOdS.
BY PAUL PIERCE.

No sooner does Mr.. Consumer
settle back in his chair after hear
ing the thrilling. mud-slinging testi
mony In butter versus oleomar-
garine case. than its "alI aboard"
for another controversy. The bad
ness OF butter when it's bad is and
always will be a favorite subject
with food-writers. II will always Of
fer splendid field for the food re-
formers activities. There is much
that can be made sensational In
writing on the subject OF alleged
bad butter. A recent attack on the
states, contains these spectacular
phrases: diseased cows on the
farm: diseased cream In the butter
factories; strangled pasteurisation
laws in the legislature: chemical
naturalization with soda ash. whito-
wash. and cleanser In the rotten
cream tank; trickery In working
curd into your overrun; indifference
TO the development OF mold and
slime in your tubs after they leave
your hands"
Few products could live under
such an arraignment as this, unless
haply. they could prove an alibi.
And, let me assure you. Mr.. Con
sumer, the greater part OF our sup
ply OF legitimate butter can and
does prove itself clean and whole
some. Just as vigorous az the at
tacks on certain buffers are the at
tacks OF the butter interests against
oleomargarine.
But say TO manufacturers or but
ter and 70 manufacturers OF cleo
margarine: Gentlemen. stop fight
ing each other; for the sake OF
yourselves, the trade and the con
sumner. We are sick unto death Of
your chickering's and quarrels and
unfair methods OF competition, the
determination on the part OF one
Kind OF manufacturers to throttle
the other" In no other branch OF
the food trade. in so far as know,
does this condition exist.
This Is the truth: Butter and
oleomargarine properly made are
both good wholesome foods. Each
should be protected by laws so that
ii shall not suffer from contamina-
ton. Such laws would benefit the
butter man as well as the oleomar.
