Ii of LeSIticGs contains a bewidering LIST
of animals, fowl aud rsh that were declared
unclean. but the restrictions that appear iu
the Bible were OF little moment compared
with the many that were added afterward
by the raDbls or wise men, 60 that now The
orthodox Jewess stands In continual fear Of
ransgressing some OF the regulations Of
the household as they are LAID down by
Rabbi Joseph aud his kind
The ban against the hog was pronounced
in the sentence that forbade tho eating Of
any animal that did not divide its hoof, and
also chew its cud. This, OF course, ruled
against the fat of the hog also, and never
has lard been used by any jew who ~ al
respected the tenets of his faith. In fact,
many Jews who have departed from the
ways of their fathers and who have thrown
aside the traditions Of their religion would
not use lard under any circunst tances, and II
is undoubtedly true that while originally the
flesh aud fat of the hog were considered 40
worse than those ot any other Of the forbid
den animals, they became many centuries
ago The most SINFUL OF all IA the eyes of
Israeiites, and 10 more severe persecution
WAS ever attempted by their enemies than
when they forced the obnoxious food down
their abhorrens thruats. The New In gland
wife who has made her toothsomo dough
nuts and fiaky piecrust with the and OF lard
will 10 doubt wonder how any cook could
ever get atong without il; but the Jewish
cook had 20 stand even greater privatio rs.
Ia making dOughnuts and pie-crust she
could use butter, provided, however, that
these dainties were not eaten with any
other dishes that contained meat or Its
products The rabbis have Interpreted the
Mosalc laws 10 mean that flesh and muk
must not be eaten at the same time, and the
orthodox Jew will not eat them WITHIN an
hour Of each other. AS butter is the prod
uct Of milk, ple-crust containing butter
could not, of course, be served at any meal
in which meat was also part. In fry
ing meats their regulation prevented the
cook from using butter or lard, and left her
the choice between vegetable oils ana beef
fat
Even in regard 70 these there were some
restrictions. An beef fat is not kosher, or
clean. All chalet, that is tallow, is not
kosher Chalet includes the fat around the
intestines and Kidneys. Mixer, the fat be-
tween the intesGnes. is kosher, and this is
what the strict Jewish cook has used mainly
rs long as there is any record. In European
countries, where the Jews still live together
for the most part in certain quarters of the
cities. towns aud villages, no other grease
is used than the beef fat and goose grease.
Polish Jews are especially addicted to the
use of goose grease, which is very fine and
much more expensive than lard. German
Jews use beef fat more.
In either case the cook tries out all the
fat she uses herself, and Is thus doubiy
sure tnat it is kosher. In fact, unless the
assurance can be given that it has been
tried out in kosher vessels, and that It has
not come in contact with foreign substances,
it would be Just as unclean as the hog itself.
OF course the trying outof the fat means a
great deal of extra labor, and, what with
keeping two sets of dishes one for milk and
one for meat, which were never allowed 20
touch each other, and observing all the 9th
er regulations, the jewish housewife has
nearly twsce as much work as any other. In
this country and some OF the southern coun-
tres Of Europe olrvc OIL was used instead OF
fat, but not every body cares TO have meals
prepared IA OIL, and the use OF II was con-
fined within narrow limits.
The words of the editor OF the Hebrew
.ournal VIII bring JOY to the hearts Of all
ewIsh cooks. They mean that one Of their
most vexatiOus trials in the past can now
be obviated
The New York Sun reporter who inspect
Ell this new lard found 1T very appetiz-
ing in appearance. IT resembles ordinary
lard 1t has slight odor Of the OIL, out 1t
IS not at ali Objectionable. II Is sand 10 Toe
MADE Of cOtton-seed oil and pure beef fat.
II sells at the same price - the best lard,
out the manufacturers claim that IT Is
cheaper, inasmuch as It requires lesser
quantity 10 accomplish the same purpose.
II IS necessary, ia using II, TO put At ln a
cold pan with the meat or other food, and
let them get hot together. If it were put
in a hot pan the oil and fat in the lard
would separate. Although this lard IS
made for the use OF the community at
large, and Is not controlled By Hebrews,
the manufacturers have taken especial
pains 10 disseminate their literature on the
sublect among the Jews of the country.
Their pamphlets are all headed with the
word Kosher" IN Hebrew characters.
Editor Davis. Of the Hebrew Journal, said

extensively used by the Jews IN tbs ciiy
