day named a wealthy brewer from
the west, well known in Philadelphia,
in connection with the murder of
Grace Roberts, pretty artists model
and plaything of rich men. This man

A great crowd watched the cOrtege
leaving the house, hurried to the
cemetery and even followed in auto
mobiles. Police reserves had to be
stationed at the grave and the house.

We Yankees are as a rule especially
fond of fried foods and pies Of all
kinds, but while the war lasts We
should show our patriotism by eating
less of these articles, and it will be
better for our health as well.
All the fats trimmed from meats
should be saved, rendered out, and
used in pastry and other cooking, TO
help save the butter and lard. The
flavor of mutton fat may be disguised
by spices, or it may be used in dishes
containing molasses or chocolate.
Sausage ham and bacon fats should
be strained They are excellent in

quickly Potatoes fried in these are
especially brown and crisp
Vegetable oils may be substituted
