When you shorten or fry your
food with butter it is needless ex-

in cooking, you would be justified
in usingit, but it won't. Cottolene
is fully the equal of butter for
shortening; it is better for frying.

TURKISH ARMY ADVANCES FOR

HORRIBLE ATROCITIES
Bulgars Charged With Massacres by Greeks, But Bulgaria Denies Charges -Rumania Still Grabbing.

London, July 13.-The Balkan states appear to be again in the melting pot. There is nq sign of peace at present. Greece and Servia have declined so far to agree to an arnistice. The Turkish army is advancing by forced marches from Tchatalja and Bulair, apparently with the consent of Greece and Servia to attempt to recapture Adrianople and Thrace
 To Avenge Bulgarian Atrocities.
 Rumania is said to be proceeding to occupy much larger extent of Bu;- garian territory than she previously claimed, and Greece is burning to avenge the Bulgarian massacres. con- cerning which horrifying details con- tinually appear in the official reports issued from Athens and Saloniki Ac- cOrding to these reports ears and f1n- rings and rings were found in the pockets of Bulgarian prisoners.
 Powers Warn Turkey.
 There is still talk of Russian inter ference. and it is reported from St. Petersburg that the powers in concert have notified the Sublime Porte that they will not permit military opera tions beyond the Enos Midia lire fixed by the London conference. But the European concert is slow in moving.
 Bulgars Deny Atrocities.
 No fresh fighting is reported and it appears that the rumors regarding revolution in Sofia are without foun- dation. The Bulgarian government ac- cuses Greece of circulating false ac- counts of Bulgarian atrocities, with g.. view to preparing the ground for fu- ture territorial claims, and expresses itself as willing to submit the whole matter to an international fnvestiga- ton. An active campaign of recrinl- ination regarding which began the hostilities and of accusations and de- nials of atrocities is going on between Bulgaria on the one side ana Servia. and Greece on the other.
 suIgar- Agreement. In Bulgarian official circles in Lon- don it is announced that an agree ment has been reached with Turkey to regard the Enos Midia line as a provisional frontier, pending final de- limitation by the international com- mission.

A detachment of police accompanied the procession. and the minister of war, General Banquet. followed in an automobile.
 Brigadier General Samuel Garcier Cuellar. governor of the federal dis trict, yesterday fatly refused permis- sion for a demonstration on Sunday and ordered the police to disperse it if it formed. The students last last night appealed to the minister of the interior. Dr. Aureliano Urrutia, who told them that he sympathized with them and would overrule the govern or's order on condition that they created no disturbance.
