flavor and odor are imparted to it by churning it with milk, skimmed 

 milk, cream or buttermilk, or possibly by mixing a small amount of 

 butter with it. 



In nutritive value oleomargarine is not materially, if at all, inferior 

 to genuine butter. The comparative digestibility of butter and oleo- 

 margarine has been found by various experiments to be about the 



same. 



Under this head ten samples were examined, six of which proved to 

 be standard butter, one renovated butter and three oleomargarine. 

 The sample of renovated butter was labeled and sold as renovated but- 

 ter. No. 4795, oleomargarine, was labeled and sold as such, but No. 

 6115 was served at a cafe for butter, and No. 5318 was sold as butter. 



Eetailers often speak of renovated butter as "tub butter" or "cook- 

 ing butter," and it is often bought and used without the purchaser or 

 consumer knowing that it is the renovated article.
