Enent has been making the most important ex-
pertinent III pu5lIc control Of transportation
which aIEv gTer-Z-eLE has ever made with COZ
troll OF any large zEaG11s-r-. This experiment
began under trying circumstances. Not only
were the railways congested when the govern

January made Il impossible for some lines 70

Better IN February. and by the end Of March

go on freight the government did not care to
move but car shortage has increased
The RaiLway Age expresses satisfaction with
the basis established IN the railroad control bill
for compensatIng the companies for the Use Of
their properties. It says that the railroad adj
ministration has handled the passenger traffic
problem very skilIfully The administration l.
praised for skill and fairness shown in It's deal
ing with the railway labor problem Satisfae-
tory results are expected to follow the creation
of permanent Cancellation boards to settle oues-
tons relating to wages and conditions Of en-
ployment.
But while the administration has done MANY
things well, the Railway Age says it appears to
be adopting some policies of dubious character.
The attempt to standardize locomotives is char
acterized as dangerous experiment. 1t is well
enough to standardize freight cars, because thew
must go everywhere and be operated under all
conditions but 1.-The greatest efficiency in loco
motive operation cannot be obtained unless loco
motives are designed and built to be operated
under special conditions This is expert crit
cism. OF the same sort is the statement that the
director general is carrying Capitalization so
far that he is depriving many railway officials

Solpes the Butter
Problem

Troco is not merely a butter
substitute; it is the successor to
butter. 1t 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
flavor.
Ask for Troco and get the real
butter favor.

Compare 7fOcO zcifh the
Best Creamery Butter

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 oleonargariae. This is
extremely misleading.
Troco is a quality product
used In homes where only the
best IS tolerated Here flavor,
quality and the assurance of fas-
tidious manufacturing methods
insure the popularity of Troco.
