When cutting bread and butter spe-

When frying fish of any sort little

turned without being broken.
When cooking chops and steaks In

thrust a fork into them in order to
turn them II you do the juice will
run out and the steak or chop will be
hard or dry.
The dripping from roast meat, the

watches the weeds that spring up to
strangle the growth OF his profitable
crop. In early scriptural times evil
disposed persons sowed .tares among
the wheat of their neighbors. causing
much trouble and discord. A like con
dition is found to-day. Troublesome
weeds have sprung up. and now there
Is n weeding-out process going on that
ton. With sturdy. dutiful men to
carry out the work of protection. there
Is little danger of obnoxious weeds
causing ruin. Every good citizen can
assist in the work. which is part of
the task that goes with his good citi-
zenship. Encourage those who have
taken up the labor of uprooting the
common evils that exist, and prevent
as far as lies in your power the SOW
ing OF tares" in the great public gar
den-the nation. Raise your voice
against every effort of the enemies of
the common people to SOW weeds
broadcast. Do your part toward les
sening the power OF trusts and COM
bines. This you can do by prevent
ing concentration OF great capitalistic
power In large financial centers. Keep
from sending your money away from
the community where II is earned.
