Pure Food.
Butterine is a much abused product.
As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet,
wholesome, and infinitely preferable to
ordinary country butter. A special
correspondent of this paper recently
visited the factory owned and operated
by the Armour Packing- Co., of Kansas
City, manufacturers of the widely
advertised Silver Churn Butterine. A
five story building- is perfectly fitted
for the scientific preparation of this
food product. Everything is spotlessly
clean; all appliances are the latest and
most improved, and every precaution is
taken to secure the production of an
absolutely pure and wholesome food.
All processes are under the direction of
a foreign chemist who has made the
skilful combination of pure sweet fats
the study of his life. He pays as much
attention to details as does the most
fastidious housekeeper to her cooking.
The result is that Silver Churn Butter-
ine is ever fresh, fragrant and delicious
—a dainty delicacy for the table.
Scientific experts endorse the new
food:
Prof. Charles Chandler, of New Yo**k
City, says: "The product is palatable
and wholesome and I regard it as a
most valuable article of food."
Prof. J. S. W. Arnold, Medical De-
partment, University of New York,
says: "A blessing for the poor, an'l in
every way a perfectly pure, wholesome
and palatable article of food."
comes to time. Whitsel at No. 2 keeps his end well up. Oh,

Ourselves.
The Texas Miner is an up-to-date paper, and tells the news
111 few words, so that its readers need not wade through a bushel
of chaff to gather a kernel of grain.
We want, and mean to have, the largest circulation of any
weekly in the state, and we don't want any subscribers except
reading, thinking men and women. We would rather have one
bright, intelligent reader than a thousand of those who never
think, and never reflect. We would appreciate from our read-
ers sharp, short, crisp letters—in short, flashes of thought.
men of brains know a brainy paper when yhey see
it.

mail, complimenting the paper and ordering it sent to their ad-
dress and to their friends:
