The sain of oleomargarine containing

an opinion of Food Commissioner Har

He takes the ground that there can be
no mixture pf butter with any other
substance of vegetable or animal oil.
The most of the substance sold In Ne
braska as hutlerlne Is a mixture of some
olher substance with some butter and Is.
therefore, adulterated butter. There can
be no combination 0f tfie two under the
gufse of one or the other.

As with men, so aiso with coal, cleanliness and "efficiency
usually go together. A coal so clean to touch that it will
not soil a lady's hand must be a hard coal. And this same
quality that makes it clean to the touch makes it efficient in use.
A hard coal bums thoroughly. There is less waste in smoke
and ash than with ordinary coal. There is more economy.
For these reasons you should use
