According to an ad vance sheet of the dairy commissioner's thirteenth annual report soon to be Is Bued, there is bnt one retailer of oleo margarine in Iowa.

The practices do not even amount to sacramentals. They were simply devo tions In honor of the blessed Eucharist —pious and formal expressions of the Individual's desire to communicate sac rsmentally, had the means been pres ent.
