new vegetable shortening. The
discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is we'll known that thous-

~ from everything of that kind.
To such people, CoTroLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range Of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is cooking marvel. 1t combines
with the food--imparts to it a
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the

careful notice Of all those who
