Compare TfOco zrifh the
Best Creamery Butter
~ .
VJlVGS

The test of Troco is on the
table, in comparison with the
best creamery butter. This is
where it wins butter lovers.
For cooking it has no equal,
either in results or from the
standpoint of economy. Troco
goes farther than butter.
Old laws, made before Troco
was invented, compel US to label
it as an oleomargarine. This IS
extremely misleading.
Troco is quality product
used in homes where only the
best is tolerated. Here favor,
quality and the assurance Of fas-
tidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity Of Troco.

Our Exclusive Process Gives
Tr0C0 Its Real Butter Flavor
Solves the Butter
Problem

Troco Is not merely a butter
substitute; it is the successor to
butter. It tastes exactly like the
finest creamery butter and is as
digestible as butter, with the
same high nutritve value.
Troco solves the butter prob
lem for those who hitherto have
used nothing but the best cream
cry butter. These critical users
say that rarely is butter so
sweet and delicate in flavor.
But don't just ask for nut
butter" or nut margarine" and
expect to enjoy this de luxe
favor.
Ask for Troco and get the real
butter favor.

Character and Obedience.

Character is grounded on obedience.
All the human derelicts stranded on
the rocks of life came to wreck be-
cause of continued disobedience to the
chart of right living. Wrecked lives
are directly chargeable to the parents,
who did not compel obedience during
the formative period of childhood. In
sistence on a course of action lays the
foundation for obedience during in
fancy, but as soon as the child de-
velops reasoning power something
more than mere insistence is needed to
develop obedience.
Parental commands are laws which
rule the domain of childhood and, Ike
the laws of a nation, they are obeyed
in the degree that they r believed to
be reasonable and just. The child is a
rational human being, however much
we may ignore his capacity for reason,
and our commands must be founded on
reason if we are to expect reasonable
compliance with them.-Mother's Mag
aZine.

FIERCE WAR OVER ELEPHANT
People of Siam and Pegu contended
for Generation to Secure Pos
session of the Animal.

Believing that Buddha lived again
in the body of a white elephant, a de-
v~astating war was fought In the six
teenth century between Siam and Pegu
for possession Of the unhandsome an
imal. For a generation the struggle
continued, and in it five kings came to
the throne, only to die together with
thousands of their subjects. A white
elephant is exceedingly rare, but is sim
ply an albino and by no means snow
colored. In 1888 Barnum, not from a re-
ligious motive, brought one from 81
am at q cost of 100000.
Frequent mention is made of ele
plants in the history of ancient wars
The Roman armies fled at their first ap
pearance in their early conflicts witt
the Carthaginians, but by the use OF
torches soon learned to break up g
charge of the huge beasts. Alexan'
der encountered them in his conquest
Of Asia.
The elephant looks stupid and his
brain is small for his size, only as
large as a mans, but 1t is highly de-
veloped. and few animals are more in
telligent. They are used as beasts of
burden In India, where they are regard
ed with superstitious awe by their
drivers.

MUCH EXTRAvAGANCE IN PENS
But oliver Wendell Holmes is said to
Have Written Twelve Million
Words With One.

For two years." one Of
those eccentric persons who make a
business of collecting strange and star
Ting facts, "Thackeray did all HIS writ
ing with n pen, which also served
him for writing two novels. Oliver
Wendell Holmes used a gold pen for
more than thirty years, during which
he wrote 100000 words"
That. we may consider, is genuine
pen conservation, and it may be typical
of a general economy that was far
more prevalent in the days of Thack-
cray and Holmes than II is today. OBJ
serves a writer in the Providence
Journal. Pens in the last quarter GEN.
fury have come to be rather lightly es-
teemed by most persons who find a
continual use for them. One throws
away an old pen and puts a new n
in the penholder with little thought of
the potential waste. A gold pen, of
course, is exceptionally durable, as a
rule, but the one that performed serv-
ice for Doctor Holmes for more than
thirty years must have been a marvel.
Anyway, 1t was obviously a far better
one than the one that served Thack-
cray for only two years. His was prob
ably an old-time quill pen, but even
then a quill pen that would last
through the writing of two novels as
extensive as those produced by Thack-
cray must be regarded with profound
respect.
This economy In the use of writing
utensils seems awe-inspiring today. In
the past ten years we personally have
knocked out two typewriters and have
started on our third and in that time
have probably turned out less than
half the number of words that Doctor
Holmes produced with his little old
gold pen. And when you come to think
of the comparative values of the words
the reflection becomes positively hu-
initiating.

Blind to Joy.

Life is always worth living, If one
have responsive sensibilities. But we
of the highly educated classes ESQ
called) have most of us got far, far
away from nature. We are trained to
seek the choice, the rare, the exquisite
exclusively. and to overlook the COM
mon. We are stuffed with abstract
conceptions and glib with verbalities
and verbosities; and in the culture OF
these higher functions the peculiar
sources of joy connected with our
simpler functions often dry up, and we
grow stone blind and insensible to
life's more elementary and general
goods and joys.-William James.

To Prevent MiIdew.

The careful ~housekeeper is often
greatly troubled and perplexed by rust
and mildew formations caused by
damp closets. This state of affairs
can be easily remedied if an earthen-
ware bowl Or a deep plate full of
quickllme be placed 10 the closet. The
lime absorbs the moisture, sweetening
and disinfecting the damp corners.
Rodents and insects that are likely TO
congregate in such places greatly dis
nke the odor Of the lime. When the
lime becomes slaked 1t should be
thrown away and a fresh supply sub
stituted.-Popular Science Monthly.
