Foods fried in Crisco are deciously crisp and dry
AS shortening, it has real nutritive value

When you use Crisco for frying,
youwillseethe difference atonce.
For example, French fried po-
tatoes are not soaked in grease.
They have a golden brown crust
and are mealy white inside.
Crisco heats to such a high
temperature it fries food in half
the time. Fried potatoes fry in
AZ minutes, instead of 10. Corn
fritters in from 2 to 3 minutes,
instead of 5. Doughnuts in from
l to 2 minutes, instead of 3.
Fried chicken in from IL to 20
minutes, instead of 80. Cro-
quotes in / minute.
Order package of Crisco and use
it for frying one food after another
Each is improved by this 'Fdry"
frying; made digestible instead of in

EXPLOSION IN
MINE KILLS Nine
Fifteen More WOrkmGn ImpTlS-
Cned by CaVe-ln.

Nine men were killed, ten gravely
wounded were carried up by rescuers
and fifteen more were imprisoned by a
cave-in as a result of the explosion Of
a keg of powder which ignited black
damp in O'Gara mine, No. 9, a mile
south of Harrisburg, Ill.
That more lives we're not lost was
due to the fact that the shift was
changing when the explosion occurred.
Two men were instantly killed and
sc en- others, sent to the surface, died
within an hour.
The detOnatiOn of the explosion
warned the town of the accident. The
fears of the wives and children of the
miners were confirmed when they saw
two ambulances rushed toward the
mine, followed in a few minutes by an
automobile containing physicians and
nurses.
Most of the miners employed by the
O'Gara Coal Mining company, of Chi
cago, are Americans. After the res
cuers had brought up the dead and
wounded they attempted to reach the
men caught behind the cave-in, but
were driven back by gases.
A force of men that attempted to
reach the miners caught behind the
cavern was driven back by gases.
