EDIBLE PETROLEUM.
S&iad Oil Batter and Coolting Oil Are B«i»sr Worked Upon at the Present Time. Cottonseed oil, corn oil and linseed oil, there is good reason to believe. will probably have a rival at a not distant day in edible petroleum oil. •Recently the editor of th« National Provisioner was asked this question: "\yhat is the difference in edible oils?" The question suggests the rcusons for present experiments. "As .'i matter of fact," declares our oonirin"porary, "petroleum has been successfully desulphurized and deminei'alized. Certain other solids and ingr" dients have been extracted fro7ii it. and the production of a fairly £d >•"! edible oil has already been produc.i The cost of this evolution, binvuvr; 1 . has as yet been so great as to r- % \ move the product from tho flt-l'l <>, r competition and utility. Petro'.er.r.) stock has, it ie claimed in a wellinformed quarter, already taken Us place as a soap grease. Why not? l! has arways been a good hand and sore wash, and it is healthful. It may cause a sense of nausea to think of petroleum salad oil, petroleum butter and petroleum cooking oil, bui such things are being worked upon right now. Their names will b^ changed for commerce. Science is vivisecting them."
