The Chinese cook is exquistey clean in the

Also, he is wonderfully efficient in the kitchen.
Once told how to do thing, he always does it

The Chinese habit Of Standardization ac

others. On the twenty-third Of the last moon,
seven days before the New Year, Moon, the
Kitchen God, leaves the earth to visit the King

of sticky sweets are made and set before his
shrine, in hopes that he will eat freely, and so
stick his mouth together that he will not be
able to tell of much but the good things that
happened in the kitchens of China. This quaint
old superstition may account for the thrift
and precise kitchen methods Of the average
Chinese cook.
Fresh, sweet, homemade lard, peanut and
sesame oils and chicken fat are the only fats
the Chinese cooks use for frying foods; and
they always use an iron pot and an iron or
