Deep Fat Frying

The American nation is often ac
cused, perhaps justly, OF using fried
foods more frequently than is strictly
heaIthful. The average housewife
does not distinguish at all between
"sauted" foods and fried" foods.
There, are two distinct differences
however. One, the technical meaning
of the words, is of lesser importance;
the other, which concerns digestibil-
ity, is of more worth. Strictly speak
ing, "sauted" food is one which is
cooked in small amount of fat in a
skillet; fried food is one cooked in
deep fat. The "sauted" food, contrary
to general opinion, is the less diges-
tble. The>reason for the greater di-
gestibility OF the fried food is that
with proper frying, the food is immedi-
ately sealed on the outside by the
great heat, so that no grease can pene-
trate to the inside. With the best Of
intentions and Care, ''sauted" food
is -grease-soaked, a condition which
materially binders digestion.
In choosing a fat for deep fat fry
ing, we consider the flavor, the cost
and the healthfulness. The first two
points are easily sehled; the healthful-
ness depends upon the melting point
of the fat and upon the temperature at
which it smokes. A low melting point
means greater digestibility, hence a
very hard fat like, beef suet is less
easily digestcd The smoking point is
of great importance because when fat
smokes chemical change occurs
which produces substance having an
irritating effect upon the digestive
tract. Lard and the commercial fats
have very high smoking temperatures
The most practical tests for degree
of heat are the bread cube tests. II
small cube Of bread browns in sixty
seconds Ia slow count of sixty, the
fat is ready for all uncooked foods
such as fritters and doughnuts; if a
cube of bread browns in forty seconds,
the fat is ready for cooked foods such
as crouuettes, which merely require
heating and browning. The one ex-
CeptlOn TO the SHty-StColu teol 10 Po-
tato chips or French fried potatoes,
which require the forty-second test or
even a shorter count, due to the cold
water on them which lowers the tenn
perature Immediately. A deep kettle
is always preferable to shallow one
because there is less chemical change
in the fat. A frying basket of coarse
wire is convenience which may be
purchased at any hardware store. The
food should be drained on crushed
brown paper after it is cooked. Fat
may be used many times if it is prop
erly cared for, that is clarified and
strained after each using. To clarity
fry few slices of raw potatoes in the
fat at the end; then strain through
double cheese cloth. \
For croqpettes, fish, oysters, meat,
ETC., a fat-proof coating of flour, or
better, of egg and bread or cracker
crumbs is used. Any housewife can
accumulate bread crumbs by saving
every scrap of bread till dry, then

The principal excitement in the
cost OF living campaign continues to
be the potato.
Today the once humble spud touch
ed the utterly unprecedented price OF
S. bushel wholesale.
The market is full Of other kinds OF
vegetables, however, and if you can
just forget about the potatoes for a
while you will get along very well.
For example, how would you like
some rhubarb pie2 Haven't had any
for a long time, eh2 1t has made its
appearance on the Omaha market.
True, the stalks are a bit puny, but
they have the regular color and the
price is by no. means prohibitive, a
goodly bunch being sold for the small
price of 10 cents, one dime. This
rhubarb is raised right here around
Omaha, but in hot houses away from
the wintry blasts.
Caulifower is plentiful and good
So are turnips, carrots, rutabagas
spinach and other vegetables.

Letters from the People.

So far as We know, none of the
men who have opposed this resolu-
ton belong to the Catholic church.
The question has arisen in our mind
why are they so bitterly opposed to
their old comrades and so ready to
denounce what their comrades feel
to be their duty, and SO ready to
divide our camp and our organipa-
ton at this time when at the best
none Of us have very many more
years to live. Some very powerful
influence must have been working
on those few members of our Camp
who have so bitterly opposed these
resolutions. This more clearly EN-
phasiZes to our mind the need fof
publicity Of such incidents as this,
to show how the Catholic church is
trying to proselyte our people and
poison their minds against their
own kith and kin, and particularly
against their old comrades Of 61.
Any publicity that you see fit to give
this matter will be appreciated by
us as we feel that since Hugh Rowe's
catholic paper would never dare
publish this open letter, and the
Jeffersonian is the only one source
W WHICH w q nave W give SAp1 C0S1ON
to these facts.
With best wishes for you and the
continuance of your paper and the
fight that you are making against
the "dagos political machine" we
are, Sincerely yours,

MASS MEETING AT LINCOLNTON.
GEORGIA.
GEORGIA..

Whereas, this mass meeting of citi-
zens Of Lincoln County, assembled at
Lincolnton, Ca, for the purpose of
discussing certain matters of National
Importance affecting the individual
rights of the citizen as guaranteed
by the Federal and State Constitu-
lions, view with dlsiaYor the Con-
scr1ption Act recently passed by the
Congress of the United States, which
law we regard as thoroughly I'M
democratic in principle, wholly con-
trary to American precedent and
ideals, and violative Of both the
spirit and letter Of the Constitution
Of cur country; and,
Whereas, we enter our earnest
protest against the financial program
Of the National administration which
would fasten a. war debt, absolutely
staggering to the imagination in it's
proportions, upon the nation with
out due respect to constitutional limi-
tations. We emphatically protest
against making government loans to
any foreign country at less rate Of
interest and upon more advantageous
terms than are offered the farmers
Of our own country under the Federal
Farm Loan Act; and,
Whereas, we believe with that
great patriot and democrat, Thomas
Jefferson, that freedom of speech and
Of the press are essential to the per-
petuity of democratic institutions
and the maintenance of the liberties
of the people, and we desire to ex-
press ourselves as heartily disapprov-
ing Of any efforts by the legislative,
executive or other departments of
government which would abridge
either; and,
Whereas, we yield to none in 10y
atty and devotion to the flagg of our
country, and the freedo mand liberty
for which it stands, bought as they
were with the blood of our forefath-
ers. But we look with disapproval
upon any attempt on the part of the
National administration that would
take away the liberty of our own
people in the name of DESTROYING
autocracy abroad Therefore, be it
resolved:
First. That we call upon and de-
mand Of our Representative and
Senators in Congress to use their
influence in repeating the Conscrip-
ton Act, or, in the passage Of the
Mason ibll, known as House Resolu-
ton 5181, which, if enacted, would
SO amend the present Conservation
law as to make it impossible for
drafted soldiers to be sent for service
