BY MARY AQUIN.

In the white slave traffic inyestiga-
ton, conducted by Lieutenant Cover
nor O'Hara and associates, the de-
tense sought to prove that there is lit
tie or no connection between the stand
ard of morals and low wage. Men
who employed girls at salaries of
81. so and less per week, twitched their
fingers and fTowned Indignantly such
suggestion, although admitting under
cross-questioning that they didn't
know how the girls managed" to ex-
list Women, who have the protection
of several males, father, brother, hus-
band. and who do not know what it is
to sweat" for anything, circumspectly
inquired: do you think girls go wrong
because of low wages?" Tacitly ad-
hitting in the very nature of the un-
necessary question their own iniquity
of mind.
In Peoria during the investigation
held in the Jefferson hotel, a minister
objected to the publicity the witnesses
we're exposed to, as discreet question
ing brought out the facts only too
apparent in the distress of the young
woman being examined. The minister
happened to be perfectly sincere in
his horror that this particular girl
should bare her shame publicly and
it rent his tender heart to look upon
her misery. Yet that girl was but
one of thousands who take their mis-
cry onto the street, parade it before
all eyes and get but scott and idle

When asked If she would change fol-

As long as materials are SO supple

To have doughnuts. crullers, GRO
Quettes. fritters and other deep fat
fried foods not soaked with grease
is the desire of every housekeeper
who does her own cooking. If she
directs the cooking done by some
one else she should know how TO
make corrections when necessary and
know exactly what she is talking
about.
1t is more in the handling of the
fat than in the preparation of the
food to be fried. although that is
also quite important But the best
doughnut dough could be prepared.
and if the fat was too hot or too
cold, a heavy grease-soaked dough
nut or one cooked too rapidly out
side and not done inside would be
the result.
My experience with hundreds of
housekeepers weekly has been that
it is this fat which has troubled
them. The progressive thinking
| housekeeper today is substituting a
/ vegetable fat for the old-time animal
/ fat. 1t surely is more healthy where
fried foods are used. making it pos
sible for members of the family who
have weak stomachs to eat them
without any ill effects. A good test
is: Heat the vegetable faS until a
small piece of bread becomes a
golden brown in sixty seconds for
raw dough, mixtures, crullers, etc.
forty seconds for cooked mixtures
croquettes. Goldfish balls etc, ane
twenty seconds for French fried pc
tatoes.
About the same temperature will
apply for lard. although blue smoke
is watched for at first. Fat may be
clarified by frying sliced raw pc
tato, straining through cheeseclott
and using indefinitely.
HOW TO CRUMB.
Take some pieces of stale bread
dry and roll or put through the foot
chopper. Break the egg into soul
plate and beat until white and yoll
ale well blended; add two table
spoonfuls of cold water. Dip GRO
quotes or whatever is to be fried frs
in crumbs. then thoroughly cover will
egg, drain a minute and then sill
again in crumbs. This may stand al
hour and dipped again and all ma.
be done in the morning and set in
cool place until ready to be fried.
When done drain on blotting pape
, or soft towel, which absorbs al
the grease.

AT AUGUSTANA

Football is being revived at Angus
tana. Visions of intercollegiate games
will probably not come true for sew
eral years yet to come, but keen
interest is being taken in the sport
by the undergrads. Squads are seen
practicing on the campus every even
ing, and from all appearances, if
Augustana should re-enter the pigskin
arena this fall, she could put out an
eleven that would cut wide swath
among the Illinois colleges. The
freshman and sophomore classes are
specially active, each class being rep
resented by an eleven. The freshies
have issued an insolent def to the
sophs for a game, and the upper class
men have accepted the challenge.
Harry Anderson has been elected cap
tain of the sophs, while Cecil Cook is
trying to organize the infants into a
! formidable lineup. Both have squads
! that look like real football teams, and
hard-fought contest is in store. The
game will probably be pulled off on
! Thanksgiving day
! The Rooters' club at Augustana
has decided to enter a new field of
activity. At its meeting, the club de-
cided to invite DR.. Winfield Scott Hall
of Northwestern university to come
/ here and lecture on Sex Hygiene"
Dr. Hall is a noted authority on the
subject of sex hygiene, and his COM
ing will be awaited with interest. The
Rooters' club promises to secure 9TH
er speakers later, the object of the
lectures being to promote interest In
physical culture and athletics.
Had Shakespeare been present at
the Adelphic society meeting last
evening, he would have heard an in
lteresting program given in his honor.

clever programs given this year. Wal
ton Kempe essayed to clear up the
