An Interrupted Sleep.

Have you ever seen common, ordi-
nary, everyday cat trying to creep I'M
seen to the foot of a tree on lower
branch of which a young bird was sit
ting? If so, you know just about how
YowIer the Bob-cat looked as he stole
toward the queer-looking tree he had
discovered in the Green Forest. Keep
ing where the Black Shadows were
blacklist he crept forward with MS
stomach almost touching the ground.
It didn't quite touch lest it rustic the
dry leaves on the ground. but it was
Just as near to touching without quite
doing it as possible. His head was
thrown back so that he could keep his
eyes, his fierce cleaning eyes, fixed
on those dark masses in that tree
showing so plainly against the light
of Mistress Moon. His big padded feet
were put down SO carefully that not
sound did they make.
Yowler wasn't sure that those dark
masses in the tree were anything in
which he might be interested. but he
intended to find out. Long ago he
learned that it often pays to examine
things which appear strange It Is
the surest way of gaining knowledge.
But it must be done very. very care
fully. 1t must be done in a way which
will avoid the possibility of danger. So
this is why he was creeping SO eau
tiously toward that tree.
He was quite under the tree and
still he had not found out what those
black masses over his head were. He
crouched fiat and glared up trying to
make out what they were. Then one
and presently another stirred uneasily.

The Fat Kettle and
Stock Kettle as Aids in
Preventing Waste in the
Kitchen-How to Econo-
mize on Milk and Cream
Good Soups and How
They Are Made.

Save the fat. It is such a concentrated
form Of energy that it can be transported
much more easily than other foods. BE
economical with butter. lard. bacon
cream and lard substitutes. Save butter
by not serving too much to each person.
Use no butter in cooking except to enrich
left-overs that would otherwise go to
waste Cook with olive or cottonseed oil
Save lard by eating less fried foods.
Use all leftover fats in cooking. Save
all drippings. Every spoonful Is valuable
and may be used instead of butter for
sauces, meats and vegetables. One-third
of a cup of fat can be extracted from one
pound of sausage, and the trimmings
saved from six slices of ham will shorten
a big loaf of gingerbread.
There is no need for prejudice against
oleomargarine. 1t makes an excellent
substitute for butter 1t is made from
fresh suet and milk. and its manufacture
is carefully guarded. Olive oil is good to
use in place of butter or lard Three
parts of cottonseed oil mixed with one
part of olive oil makes a splendid substi-
tute for high-priced olive oil. When
using for frying purposes. pour 1t IN the
frying pan, let it get hot. then fry the
food just as you would fry in lard 1t
causes less smoke than lard. which is an
other of its advantages.
Beef drippings give a good taste to
white potatoes. and may be used in meat
pie pastry, and sweet potatoes are de-
licious cooked in pork drippings. Ham,
bacon and sausage fats are good FOR
soups, vegetables and many other COM
binations of foods: lamb fat for warming
over beans. veal fats for omelets. chicken,
duck. pork and goose fats for cookies.
and spiced cakes: chicken

grease can be used for a long time and
it will be found that much smaller
quantity of fat will be necessary.
Fat that otherwise would be wasted
be utilized in this kettle. Scraps Of fat
cut from meat before cooking, pieces left
on the serving dish at meal and suet
rendered down may all be added to the
fried fritters, croquettes. doughnuts.
crullers, potatoes. oysters and many
other things.
Savory Fats.
savory fats are fats to which has been
added strong seasoning such as sage,
onion, marjoram, savory or thyme. Ihis
is an excellent method of utilizing fat
having strong flavor like beef or NUT
ton. Leftover fat may also be used for
this purpose.
To one pound of unrendered chopped
fat add one slice OF onion about one-half
an inch thick, one teaspoonful of broken
bay leaf, one teaspoonful of salt and two
teaspoonfuls of pepper Render in
double boiler and strain through cheese
cloth.
The Stock Kettle.
The expense for meat in the home
may be reduced in several ways, and
each housekeeper can best judge which
to use in her own case Careful atten-
ton should be given to the use of meat
bone, fat and small portions commonly
trimmed off and thrown away. and the
utilization of leftover portions of cook
ed meat, well the of the less
expensive kinds. If nothing better can
be done with them, the bones and trim
nings can almost always be profitably
used in the soup kettle and the fat can
be saved for cooking, thus saving the
more expensive butter and lard. The
bits of meat not served with the main
dish or remaining after the first serv-
ing can be seasoned and recooked in
many palatable ways or can be combined
with vegetables, pie crust and other ma
terials. Thus the meat flavor may be
extended over large quantity of less
expensive food with such combinations.
Smaller quantities of meat can often
be bought than would be necessary were
the meat served alone. In the stock pot
can go all rinds and trimmings of
tongue. ham and bacon. all liquids in
which meat or vegetables have been
cooked and all strippings of vegetables.
All these should be properly trimmed and
rinsed. Simmer but do not boil much.
The delicate tiavoring of both meats and
vegetables is easily driven off in steam
If they are boiled rapidly or too long.
DO not add vegetables until the last hour
of cooking.
Put into soup kettle the bones and
trimmings of a cold roast turkey, with
a quarter of a pound of lean ham, Cover
