There is much to be said in favor
of deep fat frying. Contrary TO COM
mon belief It Is not expensive, foods
SO cooked are not indigestible and the
amount OF fat absorbed Is not as great
as in pan frying
The secret Of successful cooking in
deep fat Is to have the fat at the prop
er temperature. The ideal way to do
this is to have fat thermometer.
These Thermometers are not prohlbi-
tive in price and are very satisfactory.
But II one does not care to invest
IN thermometer the old-fashioned
way of testing fat will answer, pro-
vided one Is painstaklng. When the
fat begins to smoke, drop in an inch
cube of bread from the soft part Of
the loaf. II in 10 seconds the brea1
Is golden brown the fat Is the right
temperature for frying any cooked
mixture such as croquettes. For un-
cooked mixtures the bread should
brown in 60 seconds.
All fried foods should be drained
on heavy brown paper when removed
from fat.
Menu for Tomorrow.
Breakfast-Fresh pears, creamed
dried beef, baking powder biscuits,
coffee.
Luncheon-Peach fritters, nuts and
ralsins, tea.
Dinner - Asparagus soup. pork
chops, baked white potatoes, apple
sauce, tomato Jelly, brown bread and
butter, steamed cup puddings, coffee.

o. lis hunting trip into the south
vest and Colorado, President RooSe-
yeit was accorded a series OF oVations
such as only he could inspire. He
made many speeches, few OF which
we're according to schedule. His train
was due TO pass through Temple,
Texas, without stopping, but the city
council passed an emergency ordi-
nance compelling the train to remain
there three minutes. This pleased int
president. En- route, he delivered him
sen Of many Rooseyeltian epigrams,
such as; THE honest man who Is a
coward Is Of no earthly use to him
self or anyone else"
What he does not relate in his let
kers home is that his guides in the wild
fiding after the hounds, tried in every
way to prevent the president from
fisking his neck. But even II they
rode around a dangerous spot the
president would plunge through, de-
tefnined to be in at the death.-The

Delightful Taste, Immediate
Relief, Quick Warm-U

The sensation of the year in the
drug trade is Aspironal, the two
minute cold and cough reliever, au-
thoritatively guaranteed by the labora-
tories; tested, approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by
the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock
and rye, or any other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, 80 all
you have to do to get rid Of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half dollar for bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass. With your
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like dream
within the time limit. Don't be bash
full, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it. Everybody g
doing it.
When your cold or cough is re-
lieved, take the remainder Of the bottle
home to your wife and babies, for
Aspironal is by far the safest and most
effective, the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy
for infants and children.-Adv.)

GOOD HIGHWAYS HELP TRADE
Act as a Spur to Business Besides Civ
ING Pleasure TO Motorlsts-Bene-
fit Everybody.

To some people good roads mean
simply an advantage for the motorist,
a convenience that was created and is
maintained for the motorists benefit,
enabling him to get from place to
place without racking his car to pieces
or experiencing the necessity of being
towed out of hub-deep mud.
Yet there is another side to this sub
ject of the value of good roads, writes
L. ]. Ollier In Chicago Tribune. Good
roads mean more than an opportunity
to get out on tours from the health
giving and pleasure standpoints.
Good roads are closely allied with
progress and prosperity. They pro-
mote the more widespread use OF au-
tomobiles, and statistics prove automo-
biles and prosperity always go to-
SetheF.
1t is fair to say that good roads ben
eft everybody: the city jewellers. those
who live in towns, and those who live
on farms. OF course, the fast-growing
use of motorcars-the fact that auto
mobiles are now considered practical
ly necessity for everybOdy-has been
the biggest single influence I'm awak-
ening this country to the fact that
money expended in good roads extern
sions and improvements is money well
spent.
We can all remember how only
few years ago city people paid little
attention to good roads. and how farm
ers were even opposed to the expendi-
ture of funds for the betterment of
highways. That, of course, was before
automobiles came into such wide
spread usage, in the days when motor
cars were considered an extravaganza
and were owned only by the rich.
Good roads and the automobile have
taken people out into the country.
They have banished forever the isola-
ton Of farm life. They have increased
health and prolonged life. They have
enabled people to dig in and put better

The. prospect OF being able to buy

Of good roads has spurred the ambi-

OF business. By means of good roads
an outlet to the congestion of cities
has been afforded. New towns have
