From the Washington Star.
This i. what DR.. Moses styles a much used
uteIsil in AlneriCar cookery; and according To
a late report of the Massachusetts State Board
OF Health the epithet would seem to be well ap-
piled According 10 that report the prevailing ~
digesiion may be attn ibued to the eating rank,
greasy, moIbiic food ut which an ostrich might
hesitate. The editor Of HlaM uHd Home says
in this conn, ctlon that two or three years ago,
in a spirit OF helpfulncss, tie asked his sub'crb
ers to send the genuine bill OF fare for one week
oil their comfortable home tables. The hundreds
of replies received disclosed the appailing tlct
that the basic idea Of The llrder SO 10 speak, uu

choice of leieure, was flied salt polk. Eight cnt
of every ten housekeepers used IT every week
Many used it every day, or every two days
Doughnuts, fried potatoes, iEied steak, irled cake,

of home comfort. Ia short, throrehuut the
length and breadth Of the land that instrument

that the "Iniernal Frying pan is doing NOR,
