USE OF OLIVE OIL.
Reasons Why 1t Should Have More
Prominence In Cooking.

Americans are not, generally speak
ing. liberal enough in the use of olive
oil 1t should occupy a more prominent
place in cooking.
Any olive oil left in the pan after
frying can be filtered through cheese
cloth and kept in cool place for
future use. Olive oil can be used re-
peatedy. 1t should be hot before the
article to be fried is placed in the pan,
Olive oil is capable Of having the
temperature raised to over COO degrees
before it burns. Butter burns at a
little oyer 200, suet at about 800 and
lard at 235. 1t will be seen that butter
is a poor frying medium. as food must
be kept at too low temperature or
it scorches, while with oil the high
degree quickly coats the outside of the
article with Il crust that prevents the
oil from penetrating.
Rub the preserving kettle with olive
oil to prevent fruit from burning.
Use olive oil in recipes when posst-
bic where butter is called for. 1t is
especially delicious in soft gingerbread,
salad dressing and baked beans.-New

all the money he can take from me-"
Then he told US of detective who
trapped pickpocket. He watched
him operate in crowd until he had
stuffed a number of watches and

made the arrest.
The sleuth was even less surprised
than the thief himself when nothing
