THE TARIFF BILL

A conservative estimate of the Dingiey
tariff bill, says the Albany Herald, plac-
es the revenue which the bill is expected
to raise for the government at $500, 00O,-
900. If the thing stopped right there
and the effect of the protective tariff VAS
not to levy heavy tax Oh the people in
the higher prices they will have to pay
for manufactured goods, it would not be
So bad, but while the government would
derive its $200,O0O,0OO in revenue the
people will have to pay annually some
thing like $1,30O,OOO,00O in advanced
prices. In other words, where the gov
eminent receives 81 the protected indus
tries are to receive out of the pockets of
the taxpayers $3.50. That's the way the
protective tariff works.

Your spirit is admirable; your ener-

THE PROPER WAY TO FRY FOOD.

IdE PROPER WAY TO FRY FOOD.
Have a wire frying basket that will
fit nicelyin fat bottomed iron kettle
writes Mary B. Keech. Fill the kittle
three-fourtlls full of lard and set on
back Of the stove so that it may be-
come gradually heated. Ii you must
set the kettle directly over the Goals
so 1t will heat quickly, watch it close.
ly Or 1t may boil over and take fire,
When the fat smokes in the center or
if piece OF bread dropped into it will
instantly burn, it is Just the right
temperature to scar the outside of the
food, thus preventing the grease from
penetrating, and rendering the food
light and digestible.
First, dip the frying basket in the
hot fat, be ore putting the articles to
be fried into it. In frying chops,
doughnuts. potato chips and all food
that requires long cooking, after o
few minutes, draw the kettle back on
the stove, where it will not boil so
rapidly. Doughnuts, croquettes. etc.,
should not touch each other. The
fat should be kept smoking hot, and
enough to completely cover the arti-
cles cooked in it.
Croquettes should be rolled in egg
and fine bread or cracker crumbs.
Leave them in the fat just long enough
to make them very pale brown. AS
they are made of articles that have
already been cooked, 1t is only neces-
sary to heat them through nicely.
The fat should be clarified after
each using. While it is hot, droo in
q thick slice of raw potato and leave
until cooked. Ii there are any sedi-
ments in the bottom of the fat it
should be strained. When cold, set
away in the frying kettle.

in Newark.
The remarkable feature of the case
Is the fact that, while slowly return

spoken to upon the subject of the col

point almost under one of the locomo.
yves. He reads the newspapers on.
tefs earnestly and intelligentlv into 8
conversation and seems as clear-minde6
as anyone else, except on the subiect
OF the accident.
When Morrel was taken to tho A..

caIly scalped on the left side of bis
nead, his ear was torn off with the

Mr.. Geo. A. Barnes brought us the pa >

COLD WEATHER TARLE HINTS

cold that the butter on each turns to

Tea and coffee should always be served
in hot cups to get the best results,
and where cream is used that is i'm
proved by heating also. The most ap.

is to place them in the dishpan and
