No Difficulty Reach
ing Agreement

MARION, Observation-Disclosures
Harding believes he is not going to
encounter as many difficulties as he
anticipated in reaching "a common
ground of understanding" on the in
ternational policy Of the new Repub-
lican administration.
He made this point plain in a talk
with newspaper correspondents. De-
spite the widely divergent views to
now America can best "play her part"
in efforts toward world peace which
Senator Harding is bound to receive
from the distinguished list Of confer
ees that will appear in Marion, he be-
lieves a safe middle course can be
found through which the ship of state
can be steered with minimum of
danger.
The president-elect is of the opin-
ion that multiplicity of ideas pre-
sented by his conferees will in no
way serve to confuse the issue but on
the contrary will enable him to
choose from the best in each plan
offered.
1t Is apparent that Senator Hard
Ing expected shortly to reach a de-
termination on international cues
lions and that he will be prepared to
bring the Marion conferences to a
close. about the middle of January
when ne expects to leave on a south
ern trip that will consume the time
remaining until his inauguration.
The burning question Of cabinet
appointments Senator Harding de-
clined to discuss, except to repeat
that he had made no offers az vet"
All efforts to obtain any real indica-
ton OF the makeup of the new cab
met SO far have been baffled by the
compaete silence Of the PRESIDENT
elect, which not even the most adj
roit questioning can penetrate.
senator Harding sent a telegram
OF coincidence to Senator-elect Frank
B. Willis on the death Of the latter'g
rather at Delaware, Ohio.
1t Is considered probable that the
president-elect will confer with his
successor regarding the offer Of Gov
ernor James M. Cox to appoint Mr..
Willis immediately to his seat in the
senate thereby relieving the presi-
lent-elect OF senatorial duties.

While Mr.. Denman refused to 20
into detail as to what he discovered
in permission from the president it
is understood that they affected the
disposition of the German ships in

Added significance is given to Mr..
Denman's testimony regarding the
secret treaties by the fact that as late
as August 1919, President Wilson
said heIwas not aware Of the ex-
istence Of the secret Shantung trea-
ty until after he arrived In Paris for
the peace conference.
Mr.. Balfour insisted, however, that
he informed the president of this
treaty when he came to America in
1917.

replied Mr.. Denman. 1.-THE accumula-

the matter just mentioned, led to
his action.
IAN appeal was made to the coun-
Gil Of national defense and possibly
to the president, protesting against

TIMES WILL BE
BETTER NOW.

1t is generally believed that the
worst of the financial stringency ID
over. Up to the time of the election
there was little pancky feeling
among the people, based on what
might happen II the Democratic can
didate should be elected in the face
OF all the bad conditions that had
come about under a Democratic ad-
ministration repeated and all this
coupled with q reconstruction under
q destructive policy.
The landslide in favor Of the Re-
publican candidate and the Republi-
can constructive policy, banished that
panicky feeling. People went on with
a restored confidence in their ability
to do what they wanted to do and
there was q determination among
the business people Of the country
that they would liquidate all their
debts possible and take new start
with the beginning of the new year
and the beginning of the new admin
istration, state and national.
Just now large amount of money
is tied up in the payment Of taxes
and no authority exists for expend-
ing 1t until the second week in Jan
uary In most of the states. At that
time q disbursement OF public money
begins and 1t goes to all classes of
people who have business with the
government, national, state and coun-
ty, as we'll as municipal and school
districts.
Vast numbers Of contracts that
were signed Immediately following
the election returns will begin to
see operating activities soon after
the first of the year and will increase
in volume up to the opening OF
spring.
The business situation in America
is illustrated by the situation in
vast auditorium filled with people
when the cry fire. is raised. Every
body springs to their feet and wishes
for an exit. A few people lose their
heads and start to rush and jam
their way thru the crowds. Those
with level heads seize them and tell
them to behave themselves, laugh
ingly informing them that it is not

out at once. Steadily the great
streams Of people flow thru the exit
and those on the outside pass the
word back that all is we'll il they
will hold steady and not trample
one another. There is fire in the
roof of the building, but it is burn
ing slowly and plenty of fire fighters
to bring 1t under control
Those in the building receive the
message and know that the worst
that can. happen to them is get a
splash OF water thru the skylight
and that will not hurt them be-
cause they need splash of cold wat
er to keep them cooled down.
In the business world, the worst is
over and all there is to do is to
keep steady and pay all the debts
they can for the worst that will
happen to them will be little splash
of water from the skylight, that is,
an insistent demand from their cred
itors that they must pay all they
can and they intended to do that any
how. Every dollar paid upon ones
debts are like the splash Of water
from the skylight. 1t is the evidence ,
Of remedy being applied and it also
,ools down the fever we are suffer-
ng from. 3

In sauteing especially it is better to
use liquid oil, as it is always rather
difficult to melt down just the amount
necessary, and more liquid oil can be
added as needed and no waste Is in
Cured.
These oils are also great con-
venience for the htchenette dweller
who does not have a refrigerator,
as they need only darkness, not cold,
to keep them from getting rancid.
Vegetable oils also can be used over
and over again for deep fat frying
if carefully strained, thus greatly
emphasizing the original economy in
price. Foods so cooked are more d.
gestible because Of the smaller
amount Of absorption that occurs at
the higher temperatures. The fat
New-York tribune., 1920-03-21

must be of the right temperature for
deep fat cooking, which is about $780,
to 390' f. for uncooked batters and
370' for uncooked meats or fish.
1t is wise thing to have a cook
Ing thermometer for ascertaining
these facts, but it is not absolutely
necessary, as they can be deter
mined by dropping a cube Of bread
in the fat, and if it browns in half
a minute, or cooks to dark brown
in minute, the temperature Is right.
Try to use an iron kettle, instead of
tin one, and the results will be
much better, as the fat will all be of
the same temperature. The burning
point of corn oil is ESQ., F. and of
cottonseed oil 540' F., while butter

k<THERE is one glory Of the
stars and another of the

stars and another Of the
moon," and the dietitian
and chemist tell us that the vege-
table and the animal fats each have
their own special uses and their own
place in the kitchen and on the
table.
These products have had a long
road to travel, with stiff wind Of
prejudice blowing against them, but
they have arrived. Maids still leave
sometimes when oleo is served in
stead Of butter, but experts are
admitting that oftentimes they
can't tell the difference, and this
honesty may filter through to the
kitchen IN due season. Some brave
souls will admit to preferring q
mayonnaise made with corn or
cottonseed oil to olive oil, though
the first two cost much less-be-
cause the rich, oily texture and dis
tinctive flavor Of the olive oil are
purely matter of taste, the bland
er, creamier mixture of the cotton
seed and corn oils being better liked
by some. The nutrition values are
the same.
But especially for highly seasoned
mixtures, like Roquefort or Rus
sian dressing, it is needless to use
olive oil, or at least more than a
mixture of olive and cottonseed or
corn oil. The housewife can often
blend these oils to her own finan-
cial advantage and suit her family
as we'll. In the olden days when
cottonseed oil and olive oil got into
the same bottle and were sold at the
price of the. olive oil the housewife
lost. But when she buys each at
its own value and does her own mix
ing she wins
The same is true Of oleo. It Is
an economic crime to use butter at
present prices for most cooking
operations when the vegetable oils
and oleos serve the purpose even
better and at a lower price.
AS far as cleanliness and econ
omy go, the substitute buffers again
hold their own and more, for they
are made under supervision, be-
cause of the collection of the tax,
and contain less water than butter
"a good margarine should not have
much more than 10 per cent, while
butter is allowed 16 per cent?.
Butter and olive oil will ALWAYS
have their special appeal of flavor,
but the difference in food value be-
tween the buffers and the vegetable
oils lies in the absence of the growth
promoting vitamines from the vege-
table products, butter fat being the
best source Of this valuable acces-

none Of it, and the oleos have some
when made from beef fats, though
they are not in the same class with
butter in this particular.
However, grown-ups may get their
vitalixing food substance from other
sources and children are safeguarded
II they get plenty Of milk. The
high energy value and purity, clean
liness and convenience of the vege-
table oils entitle them to an honor
able place in the diet.
INTENTIONALLY, fats are the great
heat and energy producers, having
twice tho value, in this way, that the
other food ingredients possess. The
oils are 100 per cent fuels, while
the solid fats are so to 80 per cent
Clutter yields 3,400 calories to the
pound and the oils 4,OO0). There
is practically no difference in digest
ibility between the olive, corn and
cottonseed oils, or between butter
and oleo. Any indigestibility Of fats
or fried foods is due to the method
OF cooking rather than to the fats
themselves.
The points to remember are that
food should not be fat-soaked or
coated, 80 that the digestive juices
cannot act on it readily. Fat must
not be overheated, as it then breaks
down into irritating substances; on
the other hand, fats are less apt to
putrefy in the digestive tract than
are the meats and starches and have
a lubricating and slightly cathartic
value.
