--latest form Of taking money away

him the imitation all done up as the
genuine article at the inflated price

Some makers Of such goods as
syrups, cooking oils, favoring ex-

are now putting attractive pict-
ures of the things the customer
wants on the label and explaining
in very fine print in one corner that
the product is not genuine. In other
words, the map of Italy emblazoned

the oil within came from the sunny

label to correct ostensibly the mis-
leading pictures or other devices.
But the Department of Agriculture

CAFFRON, until it is dissolved

:red. And saffron is not entire
ly Spanish, though when you are
purchasing it for favoring purposes
you will be wise if you specify that
nationality. Another variety is used
only to make tea for cases of measles!
1t is an ancient herb, used CEN
turies ago in the Far East and in
ancient Rome, in Europe of the
Middle Ages, and in old England.
1t used to be grown extensively in
Saffron Walden, Cambridgeshire.
and is still much used in provincial
Cornish cookery. The American
kitchen, with the exception of the
Creole cuisine, knows practically
nothing of its use; but France.
Spain, Italy and the Orient still en-
rloy it with sublime discretion, and
it is a new-old flavor worth trying.
even at its wartime price. "Ten
cents worth" of saffron will cost to-
day two and three times that sum.
but a little goes long way, and a
heaping tablespoonful will easily
favor a dozen dishes. 1t may be
had from chemists, or at the little
shops in the Italian and Turkish
quarters of the city. In the foreign
shops it comes both in bulk and in
