The State Agricultural college, at
Fort Collins gives the following ex-
cellent method of preparing fats for
home use. Housekeepers who pay 25
cents a pound for their shortening,
can prepare the same thing at home
for much less.
."Beef suet may be purchased at as
low figure as 12h cents q pound at
some markets now. This as compared
with lard at 35 cents per pound, and
butter at so cents per pound, is GER
tainly good argument for its general
use. Beef suet is hard to cook with,
because it does not cream readily in
cake making. This can be overcome
without greatly increasing the cost, by
rendering it with softer fat. Here
are three softened fats that have
proved to be very satisfactory:

if liked, roll in powdered sugar. Make
several hours before using.

it as you can, then dip quickly into the

FOR THAT SWEET TOOTH

II you must have iceing on your
cake and do not wish to use r,try
the following method. It is delicious.
Boil VI cup Of strained honey until
it forms soft ball when dropped into
cold water. Have the whites of two
eggs beaten stiff, and when honey is
ready to take from stove, pour it into
the whites and fold quickly. Flavor
with one teaspoon Of lemon or any Of
the many extracts used in cake. This
will harden in short time and you
will be unable to detect the difference
in taste between sugar and honey ice-
ing. To make chocolate iceing, use
the above formula and have ready 2 or
8 squares Of melted chocolate. Stir
the chocolate into the iceing before
spreading it on cake.

EASY TO HAVE Atmosphere
Matter That Should Have, Careful
Thought When One Is Contem-
plating Building a Home.

Many factors enter into the work OF
building home that are not con-
cerned, simply. with the work OF de-
signing or the mechanical processes
that go into the building Of the house
and we soon discover and realize that
the designing and building Of house
is, after ALL but the first preliminary
step in the establishment of home.
The house is important, of course, and
if it is not just as it ought to be in
every particular, the operation will be
a complete failure.
And it is of special Importance be-
fore you build, that you know just
what you want your house to suggest
in the way Of neWness or old-fash-
loneliness or an atmosphere Of historic
association, and you should also know
how the result you wish can be Sc
cured.
Your house need not be old to pos
sess what seems to be IN atmosphere
redolent with memories of the good
old days, and if you will but choose
your architect with proper care, he
will know how to give to your new
home that atmosphere which one we'll

Locating Ore Beds.

Beds of ore are stated to have been
located ut a distance of two and a
half miles by the electrical method
patented in the United States by Pro-
fessor r. A. Fessenden. In the locality
where the existence of valuable. ores
is suspected, number Of holes sew
eral miles apart are bored, then filled
with water, and Fessenden sound Os-
cillator is immersed in one as Il trans
uniting apparatus, the receiver sub
merged in each Of the other holes be-
ing an Einthoven recording oscillO-
graph. The holes may be five miles
or more apart over the area being in
vestigated. In the study of the oscil-
lograph records, special attention is
given to the relation between sounds
received direct and those from echoes,
and it is found possible to get fair
idea Of the character of intervening
masses Of rock and of the position and
distance Of neighboring deposits of ore.

Ornamental Lamp Posts.

There is no feature OF municipal
equipment that adds more to the at
Effectiveness Of a ,city's appearance
than do ornamental street lamp posts
of artistic and appropriate design. Just
as the effectiveness Of interior decora-
tions and furnishings depend in a
largo measure upon lighting fixtures,
so the beauty of the street can be en-
HANGED or married by it's lights. In
each case q satisfactory solution OF
the lighting problem consists not only
in Simplifying sufficient illumination but
also in providing lighting equipment
that harmonizes with its surroundings
and possesses beauty Of its own.
The old-time lamp post In vogue be-
fore the days of electricity fulfilled
the second Of these conditions but not
the first ; for, although the post itself
was often work of art, its feeble Oil
or gas flame seldom was equal to the
task of Illuminating the street. On
the other hand, the modern overhead
arc lamp gives fairly satisfactory
light, but the unsightly poles, ropes.
wires and other equipment for raising
and lowering the lamp Gun scarcely be
called beautiful. Now comes the orna-
mental street lamp post, which COM
bires the beauty Of one of its prede-
cessors and the utility Of the other
