PROPER USE OF FATS

Manner Of Clarifying Fat
From the Soup Kettle.

Fats that are derived from the cook.
Ing Of bacon, ham. chicken, beef and
other meats should be kept. each In
its own receptacle, to be used for DIFF.
ferent purposes.
Home rendering of both suet and
leaf lard has Its advantages, because
the product Is generally superior TO
what can be bought for the same
price
Both suet and leaf lard require
cooking In order to loosen the fat
from the tougher membrane ihat holds
It. For this purpose the material is
cut in small pieces and covered with
water and allowed TO cook slowly for
some time until no more water re-
mains and the scrap has turned to o
light brown.
A better method for suet is that
used by German housewives, who
economize on butter by the use OF
beef fat more than do American house
keepers. The suet is cut in small
pieces and covered with water, In
the water being changed once In tho
time. 1t is then drained and put into
an iron kettle with one.half tea cup
OF skim milk to every pound OF the
suet. 1t should be cooked very slow
ly.
When II has partly cooled It should
be carefully poured of. This fat has
no unpleasant taste or odor, and In
many recipes may be substituted fol-
part Of the butter. Some cooks add
a pound OF leaf lard to four or five Of
the suet; this makes softer fat, as
lard has lower melting pound than
beef fat
An old-fashionod method OF clarity.
ing fat from the soup kettle, or from
cooked meats. SO that II may be used
in the kitchen. is to add the cold fat
to a liberal quantity OF cold water
then heat slowly and let cook for an
hour or more. When cold. the cake Of
fat Is removed and the lower portion
which viii contain the small particles
OF meat, etc, should be scraped away
and the white. clean fat saved. II the
favor or color OF both are not salts
factory the process may be repeated
several times. Another method which
10 often recommended Is TO cook Q
number OF slices OF raw potato in the
boiling fat.
When an ice chest is used, fat II

Peters, who was a photographer, and
| Sam Stetson, an engraver, were kept
busily at work getting out the plates.
"They had some new trick that they
were experimenting on for a long
while, and. after lot OF failures,
they found what they were after.
Plates were made for the bills OF a
dozen or more banks, and Forbes.
who was good Judge, said that they
were the finest plates ever used to
stamp bogus money. Peters was
very retlcent about the way the plates
were made and. as II was none OF
our business, we didn't care. Taken at
the very worst, Peters was only q
halfhearted crook. He came OF q
very good family in Georgia,
when the plates were about done
went with Forbes and got three
presses, which he had sent to q va
cant store in Harlem, and removed
them ourselves to the ranch in Fiat
bush so no questions would be asked.
The only delay We met with was In
getting paper similar to that used by
the government. ] tried TO make con
nection with several big firms In
Massachusetts. but they were all dead
leary about going into the scheme, al.
though we offered them big money.

England and found a paper manu-
facturer who was willing to make the
paper. He knew what we were after
without being told and charged price
for his work that was highway rob
berry. But We had to get the goods
at any price and gladly paid him his
figures. We got the paper through
the custom house under n false in
voice, with the aid of an inspector
who was not above taking money fol
favors. and after keeping II In a stor
age warehouse for several weeks VIC
sent II to Flatbush. The paper wai
as good as the genuine paper, and Il
did not take us long to start the
printer, and fixed the colored inks fol
the different plates. Then we all tool

could not help having a thrill OF de

THE GREATEST GANG OF coUN
TERFEITERs.

lowing the Civil war were

counterfeiter The coun.
-A try was fairly flooded
with bogus bank and
treasury notes. No man, when he ro-
osived bill, could tell when he pre-
scented 1t at bank whether II would
be accepted or not, When the famous
Forbes gang began TO put their out
put on the market the bank teller him
self could not tell whether he might
not have IN his drawer another OF the
same serial number; for that was the
only means by which Forbes coun-
terfeit could be detected.
II ia not likely that another gang
similar TO the Forbes crowd ever. Will
arise in the United States. The coun'
terfeiters Of today are photographers,
who bear the same relation to the
high-class maker Of steel plates that
the coin molder does to the old-time
crook who cut his own steel dies. The
;sllk threads. the secret process paper
and the excellence and activity of the
United States secret service have also
served TO render the finer forms OF
counterfeiting lost art. Therefore
II is interesting to review the rise
and fall Of the greatest of them all
