CHICKEN FAT rs VALUABLE.
WASHINGTON, May 2I.-Do you
throw away the body fat of poultry
big layers of clean. sweet, yellow fat
around the gizzard and found else
where around the intestines of the
chicken? If you do. say specialists
Of the United States Department OF
Agriculture, you are throwing away
fat which French housewives consid-
er the finest of fats for making cakes
and especially puff paste. In certain
season in New York and other big
cities. this fat is SO highly esteemed
that it brings as much as S1.10 per
pound SO great is the demand for
this fat that many people make
business of collecting it from butchers
and others who dress poultry before
delivering it to customers. House
wives would do well to insist on hav-
ing it delivered if they buy their poul
try dressed BY using chicken fat in
cooking they can cut down the am
cunt of fat they must buy for that
purpose. To prepare it, try II out in
a double boiler. or other vessel set in
hot water. until the fat just meits
away from the tissues and can be
poured off This fat becomes rancid
easily and should be kept cool and
covered like butter and used in
very few days. Chicken fat. like
goose fat, may be used for shorten
ing in cakes such as spice cakes
where the seasoning used will mask
any flavor which the fat might have.
I: can also be used for frying the
chicken itself or other meats and for
warming vegetables. etc.

were minor ones. This would indicate
that the teachers are not so over
whelmed with dissatisfaction as the
critic would have the public believe.
Summed up and briefly stated, the
state printing plant has been able tc
produce books at more than 40 per
cent below the cost of former books.
If this ratio is maintained, and there
is no reason why it cannot be, the
million books the plant will produce
this fiscal year will mean saving of
not less than 100000. This, together
with the fact that almost like
amount of money is being spent with
Kansas workmen is not a matter to be
overlooked. Another nice thing about
state publication is that not a dime
of the business is taken away from
a single Kansas printer.

place where the American dollar is at
a discount This discount ranges from
10 to 40 per cent, according to local
