Fried foods have been in disrepute
for so long that it is interesting to
note that certain learned scientists
are saying that tuberculosis and other
diseases of like nature may be held
in allegiance by eating sufficient fried
foods. Certainly times and thoughts
change. Even facts-about food
and health seem--seem to have
no stability. 1t has always been felt
by those who liked cried foods that IL
the general public understood frying
there would be less said against such
method of preparing food. Greasy
food is neither appetizing nor whole
some. One needs no scientist to dag
nose the heavy feeling following upon
such meal. But If good, sweet lard
and pure butter is used, and the food
is really fried-instead of slowly
boiled-and drained while very hot till
the grease in the pan is but little re-
duced, and is clean and pure looking,
the food win be paIatable and easy of
digestion. The trouble lies I'm the fat
being too cold. See that IT will quick
ly brown bit of bread before begin

Green tomatoes

If you have a prejudice against
green tomatoes suspend judgment un-
til you try them fried. They are even
better than the ripe ones and make
delicious change, besides being in
season earlier than the ripe ones.
Slice thin perfect, smooth green to-
matoes. Dip in corn meal which has
been well sailed before sitting. Fry
in half butter and half lard till brown,
keeping the frying pan covered while
frying. Serve either plain or with a
brown sauce. This is fine breakfast
dish. Have the grease hot.

WILSON TALKS OF HIGH PRICES.
Secretary OF Agriculture Claims Amer
lean Farm Products Sell Cheaper
Abroad.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Proof that
American farm products are being
sold abroad cheaper than in this
country is being gathered by Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wilson. This was
the declaration made by him today at
the high cost Of living" hearing be-
ing conducted by a substitute COM
mittee Of the House committee of the
District of Columbia. Mr.. Wilson gave
strong evidence to show that the pro-
ducer at the present time was getting
little more than formerly for his food
products, while the ultimate consum-
er was paying an excessive price.
Until comparatively recently the
American people enjoyed the cheap
est food in tn world" continued Mr..
Wilson. But nowadays not enough
people know how to farm profitably,
know how to get enough out of a
days work, know how to make an
acre respond. The lure Of the factory
has called the farmer from the
plough"
Secretary Wilson declared that
Washington was one of the most ex-
pensive cities in the land, and that
retailers In this city demanded AZ
per cent. where in cities like New
York and Philadelphia they were con-
tent with from II to 20 per GENT. Con
ditions at the Capital, however, with
reference to the cost Of living, the
Secretary said, were true to a great
extent Of other cities. He told the
committee that 1t had great oppor-
tunity to do service for the whole
people by ascertaining the cause Of
these conditions.
Chairman Moore intimated that
the whole matter Of the cost Of food
products from producer to consumer
would be gone into. Secretary Will
son was the only witness examined
today.
