"Frying."
Every science has a vocabulary of
its own. If your husband is a bank
er he talks in terms of interest and
investments. The lawyer, doctor,
architect or musician each has
phraseology peculiar to the work he
does.
When those of US who are home
managers take up a new subject or
work we are very quick to learn the
terms peculiar to 1t. It is part OF
common education now to know a
skein from a hank. or to distinguish
a bandage from a sponge"
About the first thing we learned
when we began doing Red Cross
work was to call objects and pro-
cesses by their proper names.
The wide-awake housewife now
realizes that there Is world of
pleasure and education in learning
all there Is to know about the things
she does every day.
We housewives have direct word.
from our government that the most
important help we can give the
world is to use foods understand
ingly.
Scientifically trained men and
formation every day, through the
press. Women who really desire to
help win this war are going to study
these helpful messages and become
efficient in managing the food de-
partment Of their homes.
Apply Daughters Training.
1t often takes the young daughter
who is studying domestic science at
sob al nNf
technical mistakes. 1t is the wise
mother who encourages her daught-
er to apply this knowledge in the
home.
Let us consider the term, frying.
The average woman calls everything
that is cooked in a skillet or in deep
fat fried" AS a matteG Of fact
about five out of every six foods she
terms fried are really sauted.
To fry food is to cook 1t submerg-
ed in deep fat. Pure leaf lard has
been generally voted the best frying
medium. 1t has a delicate delicious
flavor it imparts to foods. To have
the best results one must be sure to
read the label and buy only prod
uct that says pure leaf lard on the
label.
The high price OF raw material has
brought the price of the very best
pure leaf lard up also. The best all
tentative is a pure vegetable short
ening. This comes in the same kind
of pail and should be used and cared
for in practically the same way.
In buying high grade shortening or
any food for that matter, ii is wise
to remember the name OF the produ-
Ger who has given you satisfaction.
Inquire for hts brand Of the new
food you wish. If your favorite pro-
Queer has the new food on the mar
ket you will be assured satisfaction
with the first trial.
Expert Deep Frying.

both all shortening and free from

most American actresses of her time,
and also one Of the most charming.
is starred by Mutual in the picturiza-
ton of Hubert Henry Davies drama,
Outcast. which comes to the Strand
today and Saturday, which
was first presented in this
country by Charles Fronman
at the Lyceum theatre, New York,
after an original production at
Wyndham's theatre, London, and
broken longevity records for the
British metropolis.
Miss Murdoch. who was the last
American actress to be signed by
Mr.. Frohman before his death in the
wreck of the Lusitania, was selected
to star in Cutcast. after analysis Of
the requirements by President John
r. Freuler of the Mutual Film Corp
grafton and producing officials of the
Empire All-Star corporation which
was formed for the purpose of pre-
senting Charles Frohman's stars and
plays through the Mutual Film corp
grafton exchanges. Miss Murdock's
acting as Helene in Mr.. Frohman's'
last play, The Beautiful Adventures,
and her success last season in Please
Help Emily, were factors in her
selection.
Opposite Miss Murdoch is David

Waste

Cheerfulness and efficiency are
generally recognized as two Of the
most important things in life. We
put ,cheerfulness first because it
generally leads to the latter. The
two combined spell Success.
The housewives Big Job is to give
to the world cheer-radiating, quick
minded and nimble bodied men and
women. This does not mean only
that her own children shall have
these qualities. 1t means very often
that she must overcome groucay
habits in herself, husband. or any Of
her laws" who happen to be
living with her.
All the arduous details of keeping
the house clean, the linen fresh, and
meals correct show worthy results
your family is otherwise you are
committing unreasonable waste
somewhere in your scheme of man
agement.
Food plays the most important
part in making successful human
beings. Properly combined foods.
correctly cooked, served attractively
in the right amounts. make forceful
happy beings, who are able to create
and lead.
Do you send your workers out into
the world each morning in a cheer
full mood?
A prominent writer says, Cor
porations refuse to elect crotchcty
executives, managers, or foremen.
Promotion is for the cheerful"
j. Ogden Armour is quoted as
saying he would give a million dol
l., n q
smile.
The Morning Meal.
Do you realize that the morning
meal generally strikes the keynote
Of the day for the members of your
household? Good food makes for
good digestion and good digestion
makes for good spirits.
See that you are in cheerful
frame of mind yourself each morn
ing. You radiate your feelings.
OVertones are more important than
most of us realize. That you may
strike a keynote of cheer at the
morning meal, you must not be
Hurried about the meal. Get up ten
or fifteen minutes earlier If neces-
sary but do have time enough to pre-
pare and serve your breakfast with
out nervous agitation.
The meal itself will vary accord
ing to the occupations Of the workers
in your family. For the average
city office workers either Of the fol-
lowing is satisfying.
A medium serving Of we'll cooked
rolled oats with top milk and sugar.
Toast. crisp bacon and coffee with
cream and sugar. Fresh fruit, grid
die cakes, pork sausage and coffee
offer an alternative breakfast. For
those doing manual labor increase
the portions and add potatoes. Many
office workers eat much less. Those
nearing forty need considerably less.
A cup Of coffee and a buttered muffin
is all that is required by many. This
breakfast usually needs reinforcing
with a cup of cocoa, or bouillon
about ten-thirty. ~
The places of material waste are
in the buying, care before cooking,
serving and use of
left-overs. After breakfast take care
full stock of the table before clearing.
Are all the plates "clean?" If food
is left on the plates you have serv-
ed too much. Overcome this next
time. Then plan how you can make
the most effective use of the foods
left on the serving plates. There are
many delicious casserole dishes and
salads we will tell you about in fut-
ure issues that call for bits of bacon,
or cooked rolled oats.

d. Fisher, 91S Seventh avenue south,
Fargo:
Cambridge. Mass. Oct. /.
Dear Mother:-
- You ask about our meals. We
have cake, pie and butter, the same
as any other place. For breakfast
we always have cereal, mullins, bis
cults, cream, sugar and coffee; and |
usually eat as much or more than
did at home. Just before breakfast
we get five minutes double quick
around the campus for exercise.
In regard to a furlough / won't be
able to tell what l can do until the
time comes. During war they are
not very liberal with Burroughs and
we will only get short ones at
Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then
it would cost about 800 for the
round trip home.
How did Fargo college come out
with its financial trouble? Are the
girls both going there or Is Ruth still
attending the A. c.?
We had a small fire in Perkins
hall today; and that was about the
only excitement except that took

is that If was back home l would

ment will be up to full strength by
the last of the week, and from what
the officers say we will soon be on

it sure is some sight. There are
about two hundred boys in each bar

some great old times.
There are two main drives. These
are paved and extend the whole
nine miles. There are cars from all
parts of the state driving up and
down on the pavement. And there
is no end to the crowd out here-I
guess it includes all of Des Moines.

get lonesome, for everyone is giving
you the cheer. 1t was cheer in every

This is Miss Kaiser's first tour

Miss Mary Schlanser of Company B
auxiliary, in a letter which she re-
ceived this week from Tracy w.

First infantry, North Dakota ma
tional guard. His letter follows:
Camp Greene, Oct. 4, 1917.
Dear War Mother:
This is the first letter I have
written since we hit camp. We left
Fargo Saturday, night as you know
and had a most enjoyable trip. From
Minneapolis we headed for Chicago
over the Rock Island road. Sunday
was my first time on guard and while
/ was on guard we hit and killed a
deaf and dumb woman near Faf.i-
the track and didn't get off until the
engine hit her.
Monday morning, we arrived in
Chicago, but didn't see any of my
relatives. Tuesday we went through
Kentucky and part Of Tennessee and
was on guard again. Wednesday,,
we arrived in Charlotte about 8
o'clock in the morning. At $3.50 we
unloaded and marched to camp. In
the afternoon we took a bath. There
is only one kind of water in which
to battle and that is cold. It feels
fine at that.
To-day we moved over to another
street. After we moved our tents,
we moved a big ice box that
''Toughie" found. In other words we
traded ice boxes with another COM
pany, only the members of the COM
pany didn't know it.

In carrying out our absolute waste

to give the meat flavor to various
made dishes. For utilization of all
left-overs croquettes and fritters are
splendid.
After you have had a delicious
variety of canned salmon for lunch

left. This is usually eaten between

away in. Nine times out of ten this
appetizing bit of nourishing food
finds it's way to the discard. Such
waste Is now considered nothing
short of criminal.

use every morsel of the delicacy. 1t
