"When subjected TO a tempera-
ture decidedly higher than is

tendency 10 become rancid, discol-
ored or decompOSed; nor does il
evolve unpleasant odors when so

other cooking oils and fats with

further it can be used repeatedly
without disadvantage.
Its flavor, odor and color are very
satisfactory, and these are retained

prove that ii is very superior

MOURNERS' DAY.
Chinese Pray for the Spirits of

Chinatown was in a state of mourning
yesterday. Services were held in all the
Joss-houses, which were attended by
crowds. The occasion was the ANNUAL observ-
ance Of day in the Chinese calendar which
corresponds somew hat with All Souls Day
in the Christian religion. 1t is an ancient
Chinese custom 10 pray annually for the
spirits OF those who have died during the
year, and in carrying out the custom Chinese
priests visit different houses and assist in
the praying.
A feature of the observance is to visit the
graves of the dead and place upon them
choice edib!es. Yesterday ever fifty hacks
were engaged by the Chinese to take out to
the cemetery loads of provisions 10 place on
the graves of departed Pagans. In the
evening special services were held in the
JOss-hOuses, the features being praying on
the part of Chinese and the Offering Of gifts.
The dead-walls of Chinatown were fairly
ablaze with Illuminated posters, announcing
the services at the different Joss-houses.
To the posters were attached pictures Of

money they need, but my donation Is to be paid
over only when it becomes the last payment on
the institution and leaves the association entirely
out OF debt.
