Chief Chemist v. s. Department OF
Agriculture,

In regard TO the oils and fats as
used In foods there is a very great
difference In regard 10 price. Lard Is
one OF the most common fats used In
cooking, while butter Is one OF the
most common fats used for table pur-
poses.
Butter, because OF its palatabllity,
brings much higher price than lard,
but i'm regard to its nutritive proper
ties there is very little difference. As
regards the amount OF food a pound
OF lard contains almost nothing but
pure fat. while pound or butter Will
have from II 10 Is per cent OF water.
A pound of lard, therefore, when con-
sumed will produce from IL to Is per
cent more heat energy than a pound
OF butter.
Edible oils haze practically the
same food values as lard and a higher
food value than butter because they
contain no water. Among the edible
oils which are chiefly OF vegetable
character, cotton seed, peanut and
sesame oils are cheaper than that
made from olives AT the same time
the food value OF the oils Is practical
~ the same There is distinct econ
omy therefore In using the cheaper
oils instead of the higher-priced.
Here is another instance where a
higher price is paid for oil because
Of it's great palatability.

fatty and oily diet would be Sc

tain seeds and nuts. which are com.
posed very largely OF oils. Many OF
the nuts contain from 40 10 80 per

there would be very little difference
between fat secured from fat meat
and that derived from nuts, In nutri-
tive or economic value.
The greatest differences i'm price
are found among the foods containing
protein as one OF their principal con-
stituents. Protein is the ideal tissue
builder. lnasmuch as heterogeneous
elements are found in practically all
tissues OF the body and with the ex-
ception OF the pure fats, protein is
an indispensable food. or the foods
rich In protein, lean meat and whites
OF eggs are best exponents. Both OF
these articles are high priced.
Milk also contains. in its ~ per

able food material. The principal

Dear Sir--I have as many as

Company. which have Offices OH

Of Commerce building. am
credibly informed that the wife
OF the proprietor of the Ameri-
can Loan Company owns the Re-

event these two concerns seem TO
be the two pockets OF the same
garment for receiving blood
money.
These are the two concerns
which haze received nearly 81 600
on an original loan OF 500, and
who claim that there Is still due
on such loan over $40. this money

ings OF poor woman who dur
ing the last eight years. while in
the hands OF these sharks, has
supported six little children and a
husband. who because of sick
ness, has been unable TO work
most of the time. Their method
is unique, the scheme being
somewhat as follows:
This woman originally borrowed
800 from one of these two com
panies. After paying perhaps
$3.50 on II, and still owing in the
neighborhood OF 500, she was re-
Guested TO borrow another hun
dred from the other company ana
pay up the first company. This
was carried out adj inflnitum un-
til the above results have been
attained.
Out of the large number OF
complaints made at this office re-
garding these two concerns, |
cannot find a single one where
they have charged the legal rate
OF interest, all having been usuri-

these two concerns seem TO be

long a time that our interest denies that they had only an imaginary existence in the brain of Charles Dickens, the wizard of Gadshill.
 I have spoken of our knowing the Dickens people. I should have the ac- quaintanceship to apply to the more con- spicuous of his folk; for it were impos- sible to remember all his people What a vast multitude there is! Did the reader ever think how many people Dickens in- troduced into his stories? I do not mean servants, cabmen, policemen and the like. but people who play important parts. Look for moment: Our Mutual Friend, 60; Little Dorrit, 70; Bleak House, so, David Copperfield, 75; Dombey x Son. 65; Martin Chuzzlewit. 5S; Old Curiosity Shop, 80: Nicholas Nickleby. 10; PiclIwlck Papers, over 100. It is amazing. But the principal characters we all remember, and can never forget.
 There are no books in the republic of letters so universally read as those of Charles Dickens. Some years ago MT. Maurice Thompson said, "Dickens must pass out of the list of permanent fame, He is already gone, he is so sloven and ignorant" MT Thompson spoke without information. Dickens is already gone, is he? The former librarian of the con gressional library at Washington. in an swer to this question replied: q have your letter and in reply I have to assure you that so far as the popularity of Dick ems being on the wane Is concerned, the experience of this library attests to the contrary. His books are read here in greater proportion than Scott, Bulwer, Thackeray or any other novelist"

All things both great and small', then the prayers of the wizard were not halted on their way to the heart of God. Near the house there was a little grave It was the grave of a canary bird. To this grave many visitors were conducted and heard the wizard relate touching little incidents in the life of the yellow singer whose last bar had been sung.
 He loved his dogs. and his friends were often moved with tenderness of emotion at his care bestowed upon nearly blind old dog. All the poor and aged people of the neighborhood knew the wizard, and many of them were grateful recipi- ents of his liberal benefactions. His great heart was full of love.
 He used his magic wand, the wizard. It had a, far reaching power; and to countless prosy places in England te gave some touch of romantic interest which for all time will distinguish them He peoped many town and village. and neighborhoods of large cities, with his wand. Some tell us that these people of his were only imaginary beings; but we who have known his men, women and children cannot believe that they belong to some world of fancy.
 Many of his folk have become our warm personal friends, even as they were the warm personal friends of our fathers and mothers. Their fortunes and misfortunes we have followed with an intensity of in- terest that has brought us the deepest pleasure or the profoundest grief We have known them so closely and for so
