"Some nice breakfast bacon,
ma-am?" said a grocer to a house
wife of slender pocketbook the
other day.
1--WE love it," was the answer,
"but, dear me, it is too high"
Yes, it is high.
- But sometimes bacon is so high
as to be a crime. That Is when
housekeepers fry bacon and pour
the grease into the sink or into the
garbage can. A mint of golden dol
lars has been wasted in this way,
all through plain ignorance.
Bacon is no higher than any 9TH
er good food, If there is no waste.
There is no excuse for any waste
in bacon. And 1t is good food. Ba-
con is breakfast dish for con-
valescents in every hospital.
Now, here is the key to the econ
omy of bacon: the crease.
Bacon grease is the best available
medium for frying. 1t Is the most
toothsome and the purest. Contrast
the cleanliness and flavor of bacon
grease with the insipid, unattractive
taste of that pallid, CHASTITY looking
product known as lard, made from
who knows what Pure leaf lard is
rare, and even at its best the rich,
tempting SAVIOR of bacon is vastly
preferable.
Bacon, properly prepared for
those who do not engage in heavy
manual labor and therefore do not
need much of the rich, heat produc'
ing fat, should be fried to crisp
until it Is to all intents entirely
lean. Then it Is q dish fit for gods,
and for mortals who know what is
good. Then there is left the grease,
golden brown and delicious. Now
the usefulness of bacon only begins.
Hear this! From one pound OF
breakfast bacon you get one pint
of precious bacon grease.
What do with it?
That's easy.
| Fry eggs in it. You will never
again use lard. Even butter Is In
ferior' to it.

COMRADE THAN HIS IDOL.
(By United Press.)

NEW YORK, Aug 3O.-Countess
Carlo Dentice di Frasso, formerly
Miss Georgine Wilde, daughter of
Mrs. Henry Siegel Of New York,
now visiting her mother, is stout
champion of the international mar
riage.
European marriages bring more
contentment than American mar
riages.' the countess said. 'Ameri-
can girls who marry European men
are sure of the comradeship of
their husbands. American men
relegate their wives to a position
in their hearts alone, never per-
hitting them the mental intimacy
which Is the foundation of friend
ship in matrimony,
The American bride and bride
groom are madly in love and wildly
happy, but it does not last. Ameri-
cans rush into matrimony too has
tily and unthinkingly. Divorce is
too easily obtained. AS the latest
novelist declares, we have no

and no uptown all full of society
women My husband works as
hard as any American, yet he finds
time to come home to luncheon and
to see me several times during the

hut in the woods all alone except
for the company Of his cat. Every
day when he came home with the
fish he had caught in the river
during the day he would cut off
their heads and feed them to old
Tom.
For a long time Tom was salts
fled, but after a while he got to
wondering how the rest of the fish
would taste, SO one night after the
old fisherman had gone to sleep
he crawled up on the shelf and
ate one of the fish his master had
hidden up there. 1t was so good
he ate another, and then another,
and then several more, but after a
while his throat began to smart
and burn, for they were salt fish
and made him very thirsty.
He jumped down from the shelf
and ran outside and down to the
river to quench his thirst. AS he
ran along looking for a shallow
place he began to feel queer. His
legs seemed to get shorter and
shorter, and he could scarcely
breathe. At last he came to clear,
shallow place, and as he leaned
over to drink he saw his reflection
in the water What do you think ?
He had begun to turn into fish,
He was so frightened he fell splash
into the river and swan away.
How poor Tom shivered in the
cold water at first! He wished he
were back In his warm corner by
the stove. But that was what he
got for being so greedy. you see.
Ever since then boys have been
catching queer-looking fish they
call ".catfish.
