Recipes for the Day.
Pot Roast-Choose a thick cut of
beef from the shoulder and wipe with
a damp cloth Have the kettle hot
and put in one-quarter pound of suet
and rend out the fat. Remove the
scraps, add an onion sliced and cook
a light brown Take the onion from
the kettle and put in the meat; scar
on one side and then on the other
until well scared and brown. Turn
once more and put the onions on the
meat, adding one-half cup of boiling
water at the side of the kettle. Cover
and simmer slowly one hour. Season
with salt and pepper and a bay leaf
and a. few cloves if liked, or one-half
teaspoon cinnamon and three table
pot roast. Continue to cook until
done, an hour and a half or two hours
more. The secret of a pot roast is
more in the cooking than in the meat.
being sure not to let it boil at any
time. Have sufficient liquid in the
kettle for gravy which may be thick
ened with a tablespoonful Of flour
after the meat is removed to the plat
ter. Potatoes may be cooked with the
roast.
When the meat is nearly tender
make the dumplings and drop by tea
closely for twelve minutes. They may
be made as stiff as biscuit dough, cut
IN small biscuits and steamed as
above. Dumplings are usually soft
biscuit dough with shortening left out.
Fudge Chocolate Cake-Take one
cupfuI of sugar. two tablespoons of
cocoa, one quarter of a cup of butter.
Beat up an egg, white and yolk sep
arately. Of you are in a hurry the
cake will be pretty nearly as good if
the egg is beaten all together.) Stir
into the mixture, add one-half tea
spoon salt. Dissolve one teaspoon of
soda in half cup of sour milk. Rinse
out the egg bowl with this and add.
Now put in one and one-half cups of
sifted flour and stir in one-quarter of
a cup of boiling water. Add half a
teaspoon of vanilla. Pour into a

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoons
full of Mulsified will make an abun-
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thoroly.
The lather rinses out easily and re-
moves every particle of dust, dirt, dan
druff and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, andt it leaves Il
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months. Be sure your druggist gives
you Mulsified.-Adv.

Detroit, Dec. 6.-(Copyright. 1921,
by I. n. s.)-Henry Ford says that
business could be made good and the
cost of living reduced if it were not
for the shortsighted greed of manu-
facturers and merchants who persist
in clinging as near to war prices as
possible.
"a clerk in a shoe store, after he
had waited on me today, asked me
when business was going to pick up,
said Mr.. Ford. "'How much would
you charge a man worth 100000 for
a good pair of shoes?" asked
About 3d. replied the clerk. you
sold the same pair of shoes before the
war. didn't you, for sc The clerk said
that was correct Well, I replied,
business will pick up and be good just
as soon as you put the price of those
shoes at 81
No Sense in Present Prices.
There is no sense in present
prices" continued Mr.. Ford. Il have
compelled everybody who sells mo-
terial to me to sell it at pre-war
prices or a little more. When I cut
the price of my car, a year ago, I
refused to pay more than what 1 am

what the public should do-refuse to
buy at present prices. The thing can
be done, toe.

CALL IT ADVERTISING
Topeka Bakers Say Cents Too Low
for 10 Ounce Loaf.


for 10 Ounce Loaf.
The sale of a sixteen-ounce loaf of
bread in Eastern cities for cents is
characterized by Topeka wholesale
bakers as a merchandising scheme by
interests which produce other food
stuffs as well as bread, and use the
Iow-price bread as an advertisement.
Bakers. it is asserted. cannot afford
to sell a 16-ounce loaf at that price.
No Topeka wholesale bakers are
ready to announce that they will sell
bread at that price. There is no STAN
dard sixtecn-ounce loaf on the Topeka
market at the present time. The
standard loaves weigh from seven
teen to twenty-four ounces, and are
being retailed at the present time al
10 cents.
C. L. Van Alstine. proprietor of the
Liberty Bakery, 416 East Fourth
street, is selling a 16-ounce loaf at 5
cents. Van Alstine asserts that he is
able to do this because he sells di-
rectly to the consumer, and carries
only a small overhead.
