"SPREADABILITY" OF BUTTER

LATEST SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION Some experts at the famous- National Physical Laboratory, in London, have been devoting their re. searches to an investigation of "tho spreadabilijty" \pf butter. This is how such research appealed to "Touchstone," of the Morning Post: Though they study many matters In the world-famed, "lab." at Kew, "Spreatlability 'of; butter" Strikes a note that's wholly new. And the housewives of the country Will be much intrigued to learn What determines the behaviour Of the product of the churn. Why, for instance, when confronted With the newest kind of bread, Butter always should be stillest And should quite decline to spread; Why, in torrid days, it chooses To be liquid, more or less, When the soul is most revolted By the nauseating mess. These are questions of importance Which have troubled us for years, And if Kew provide the answers We shall welcome them with cheers. But ,there.'s one more truly urgent—!kti6it in haggard times like these We may earn a little butter With our daily bread and cheese.
