ROASTING MEATS.
A Chef Says the Proper Process Is
Almost Unknown.

A Chef Says the Proper Process Is
Almost Unknown.
"a good part of the dyspepsia that
prevails in America said the chef or
an exclusive hotel to a Philadelphia
Record writer, lis due to the custom of
baking instead of roasting meats. We
say we roast our meats We talk glib
ly of roast beef roast chicken and
so on, but what we should say is baked
beef and baked chicken for anything
cooked In an oven is baked, not roast
ed We don't talk of roast bread, do
we? Yet we cook our meat In the oven
as our bread Is cooked.
ITO roast meat you must cook 1t on a
spit before the fire. You must turn 1t
constantly. Every little while you
must basic It 1t is in every way bet
ter than meat baked. 1t IS tenderer,
sweeter and more digestible. Also its
appearance is more appetizing, and the
appearance Of Wand has a tremen-
dous effect on It's digestibility.
Experiment, actual experiment, has
shown that the sight Of an appetizing
dish starts the gastric Juice TO flowing
instantly and that such a dish digests
much more quickly and thoroughly
than an unappetizing one. Altogether,
we ought to go back to the genuine
roasting process of our ancestors, and
our health would improve and there
would be less talk about vegetarianism.
'-Of course I and all good chefs actu-
ally roast meat. But roasting is with
the average cook in the average Ameri-
can house an unknown process"

The Genuine VS.. Commercials

The genuine is always better than a
counterfeit, but the truth of this state
ment is never more forcibly realized or
more thoroughly appreciated than when
you compare the genuine DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve with the many cou-
nterfeits and worthless substitutes that
are on the market. w. s. Ledbetter, of
Shreveport, La, says: "After using
numerous other. remedies without bene-
fit, one box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve cured me-" For blind, bleeding,
itching and protruding piles no remedy
is equal to DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve

A Satisfactory Implement In the

Leave 1t in this condition until the
grass is smothered. Next hoe the cot
ton, reducing to a stand and leaving 1t
absolutely clean.
In adjusting the parts of the scrape
for shallow cultivation 1t is usually
found necessary to have the wings fiat
tened in order to have them slip under
the surface without dragging the soil.
In handling the scrape the handles
should be pressed down and held firm
ly so that the wings will cut as deeply
as the point.
