stage an old-fashioled minstrel at the
Presbyterian church Friday evening
Nov. Il. at S o'clock This class OF
young men is one of the Invest in the
church, and the event is looked for

duced to remain with the class until
after this performance. They promise
an evening of laughter and guarantee
a cure for the blues or the crouch. In
fact, it is a guaranteed performance.

The sentiment expressed by various
members of the board of directors is in
favor of placing this gift in some per
manent form, as a memorial to Mr..
Freeman Ii has been suggested that
il be made the foundation of a perma-
nent endowment fund, which will be
placed in trust, the income being used
for the benefit of the work. In this
case, il is hoped that others might be
led to follow Mr.. Freenan's example,
thus providing in time for a large and
useful fund.
Whatever disposition may be made
Of re bequest, it will be the one which
is CHOSEN as representing Mr.. Free
mans interest in the work 10 which he
gave his life, and as perpetuating the
helpful influence of his work, to which
testimony is borne by many in Rock

Every housekeeper wants TO know
how to tell the exact temperature OF
fat for deep frying. She also wants
to know the foods which are best
fried in this manner and how it can
be done so as TO have the food come
from it dry, crisp and perfectly di-
gestible.
This is much to learn all at once,
but with a determination never to be
satisfied with anything less than
exactly right" and being willing to
find out what is wrong each time fry
ing is done and work toward its cor
rection. there is no reason why there
should be this uncertainty about fry
ing in deep fat.
In these days of careful study Of
healthful and all cooking which in
cludes fat in it has to stand careful
scrutiny from the housewife before
she is persuaded to buy it. There
was a time when she took whatever
the grocer said was good. Today she
asks why" vegetable fat is better
than animal fat, which she has used
for years, and again she must be
thoroughly convinced that it is eco
nomical. So we would say fat for
deep fat frying must be first health
full, second economical. Then use It
properly and with reliable recipes and
food should be good to look at and
healthful for eat.
This is a very reliable test: Heat
the fat until a small piece OF bread

as doughnuts and fritters; forty sec
