For Frying

You will like things fried in
Snowdrift. It's very delicate flavor
makes it perfect frying fat for
doughnuts or croquettes, for eggs,
chops, chicken or anything else
that you fry. Because it doesn't
burn or smoke at the frying tenn
perature (that makes it desirable
because burnt fat is not whole
some). Snowdrift may be used
over and over. Just strain Snow
drift after you have fried in it and
save it for the next time you fry.

GOLF BALL EXPLODES
INSIDE OF BULLDOG
IN TERROR CANINE WRECKS A
ROOM, THEN SECOND BLAST
LAYS HIM OUT ON FLOOR.

CHICAGO, IlI.-This is a story
about dog. The dog is called John
and is owned by Federal Judge Ian
dis of Chicago.
1t all began when Judge Lands
gave John an old golf ball to play
with. John, who is big, white bull
terrier, cavorted about the judges
reading room at home and had a
great time with the ball.
The next day when the judge came
down to court John, of course, came
with him, but he appeared unusually
restless. When Judge Lands had
returned home and had settled him
self down to read John came in and
laid down beside his chair.
Explosion Inside of Dog.
''Popw went something all of a
sudden.
Startled, the judge looked around.
He was just in time to see John jump
about two feet in the air. Before
he could concentrate his thought. on
such phenomenon there was anoth-
er pop" and again John jumped into
the air.
1t required just two seconds time
for the judge to reach the next room.
But in that time he came to the real
ization that something extraordinary
was happening within the vital parts
of his dog John. The next minute
something began to happen in the liv-
ing room that would have made
cyclone resemble a South Sea zephyr.
John looped the loop seven times,
sprang llama-like from the mantel
piece to the piano and back again
nine times, pulled out several medi-
cal books from the library, turned
over an expensive vase, and bit his
initials in an oil painting all in the
space of few seconds.
Second Explosion Lays His Out.
Then suddenly there was another
E'pop" and when the judge ventured
to peep into the room John was
stretched out in the center of the
floor. .
"That dern dog, l said to myself,
has gone and swallowed that old golf
ball gave him the other day, and it
has busted inside of him." the Judge
explained. "Of course, the bali was
full of some kind of acid, and when it
got to work on his stomach it must
have set him on fire"

EGG KING" DEFIANT;
PUBLIC STILL HELPLESS
NEITHER LAW, BOYCOTT NOR
AUTHORITIES CAN PREVENT
HOLDING 800 CARLOADS.

1t has been pretty we'll established
That the high price of storage eggs is
due largely to a corner" on that
product established by James E.
Wetz, the EGG king" and a few
other powerful Chicago dealers.
These men are holding for still higher
figures 43,200,OOO eggs, or about 800
carloads. On the strength of their
spectators Louis PITCHER recently
sold holdings at a sufficient profit to
to make him comfortable for the rest
OF his life. J. L. Oxley, according to
report, has cleaned up S1,OOO,OOO.
Wetz still owns $50 carloads, which
he declares he will not sell before
they reach so cents a dozen. This
means 55 cents to the consumer.
The dealers all attempt to Justify
their position by arguing that their
conduct is legitimate business, and
they are certain that the law will
not be able to get hold on them.
Wetz even talks Of prosecuting for
conspiracy" Alderman Pretzel, of
Chicago, who was instrumental in a
vain attempt to break the corner"
The women of Chicago also have
attempted to force down prices by
boycott, but so far their efforts
have been of little avail.
Nc Law Violated.
The women have been supported
IN their campaign by United States
Attorney F. Cline, States Attorney
Mackay Hoyne and the Chicago
Board of Health. Yet the specula-
tors are within the law. Hinton G.
Clabaugh, head of the United States
government investigating bureau in
that city, admits that his men have
found no violation of any Federal
statute.
Most of these eggs now held for
so cents a dozen were bought in No
vember, 1915, for April delivery at
the cold storage warehouse in
Chicago and other points. The rul-
ing purchase price ranged from 49,
IL to 20 IL cents a dozen.
Call it speculation if you will"
sail Wetz the other day. PERHAPS
it is from the standpoint of the gen-
eral public. But we call it success
full merchandising. 1t requires no
mean ability to accumulate 1900
600 eggs in addition to those held by
your competitors. 1t gives one
certain distinction, doesn't it? When
we lost money in storing eggs II
never noticed that the people wasted
any sympathy on us. That is one of
the reasons why we are not wasting
any sympathy on the public. AS Il
said some time ago, l have $50 car
loads of eggs in storage in Chicago.
If l can't get so cents for them
l will ship them to London. But I
will get my price all right"
