The Law and the Name

The name of the new table luxury which bids fair to replace dairy butter in many thousands of families is Ben eft Brand Sweet Nut" but the law, passed before it was invented, requires that the word "oleomargarine be placed on every package. Such Is the law. but in point of fact the new table luxury is very different from ordinar y oieomargarine. In the first place, it lives of any an % kins except @ htgR-grade & de salt. It is made entirely from appe- tizing natural foods we especially like to eat. The crisp, white meat of the cocoanut and pasteurized milk are in- viting ingredients. In the second place, you cannot distinguish it when served from the best creamery butter. It's price is daily economy-32c. a pound.
