COOK FRENCH FRIED ONIONS
Excellent With Pork Chops When Pre-
pared According to Recipe
Given Herewith.

French fried onions are excellent
with pork chops, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
They are made by slicing onions
across the grain, busting them lightly
with flour, then frying the rings In
deep fat like saratoga chips until
they are golden brown. Apple sauce
or stewed dried apples are also good
accompaniments for pork.

On a schedule adjusted to the minute by

And slams along regardless of her pre-

she's more romantic

MY FAVORITE STORY

A gentleman of social habits came home
one evening to be confronted by VIE DIS

said. This morning [ sent the suit you wore

Now then. what does this mean?"
Without a moments hesitation the hus-
band answered.:
my dear child he said soothingly, 1.-The
thing is simplicity itself. Evelyn is the
name of a racehorse-a friend gave me
tin on her. And '2161 were the odds on
her for first and second place. 'Fitzroy' is
the name of the jockey! Surely you've heard
of Fitzroy, the famous jockey? Now, then,
aren't you ashamed that you suspected me?"
The lady admitted that she might have
been a bit hasty in jumping at conclusions.
She dried her tears and peace descended

Edith's attitude toward me was II posi-
BILE a shade more distant than ever Wheh
we met at breakfast the next morning. ou',
as usual. she was charming to Norman, ana
thew carried on a conversation between
them that virtually excluded me-
I had chance to observe her care1ully
and it seemed that l must have dreamed
what | had never believed Edith capable
of passion 1 had thought her shallow and
scheming but she had shown me that
was wrong. If Edith cared for any one, sne
would care terribly, and then suddenly my
thoughts broke off and I nearly cried out
as an idea occurred to me.
If Edith cared for any one: hao
thought she cared for Norman; had been
sure of it, but after last night | couldn't
be sure of anything. But suppose, just sup
pose. she cared for Herbert! My thoughts
travelled back to that night the country
club porch when she had gone out OF her
way to make friends with him and he had
repulsed her, Edith and Herbert! The
idea was absurd, and yet the more thought
about it the less absurd it seemed
Now that it had occurred to me, [ could
remember other things that would substan-
tiate it. The queer expression in Edith S
eyes when they rested on Herbert, and
most of all, her fury of last night. If she
cared for him and thought he liked me,
! her emotion of last night was of course
! jealousy. She had thought that my unWil-

him was proof positive that l did
My heart that had been so bitter toward
Edith was suddenly tender. In spite of the
way she had hurt me, 1 was sorry for her
if what I suspected were true, for Her
/ berts dislike of her was deep set He had
told me more than once that he despised
her type. He saw through her little tricks
and avoided her, and knowing Herbert as

! 1t was strange that at this time I felt
no thrill of triumph because of the fact
that Herbert preferred me. Now was my
chance to get even with Edith for her
treatment of me, and if l had been differ
ent | could have Haunted his devotion in
her face and made her dOubly unhappy, but
I had no desire to do anything of the kind.
Of course, even now l could not be sure
that my suspicious were correct, but I was
almost certain. Everything pointed toward
it, and if Herbert, because of the fact that
he was so entirely different from any man
Edith had ever known, had won her heart,
then she had been merely having a light

Lessen;ng the Cost Load

WORK-A-DAY economist tells us that a
n ton of coal has to carry: 81, the mine
owner; 2, the MINER g. the helper; 4,
the powder; ), the mule; 6, the breaker; Z,
pany; 9, the railroad; TO- the coal yard; II,
The shoveleri II, the truckman; 10, the man
who quits it If; A. the Janitor before it be-
comes hot air.; and then it is seventy per
cent wasted Poor coal! poor consumer!
From this exhausting state of affairs the
only way of escape seems to lie by way of a
scientists prediction that the day will come
when coal will be burned only at the mines,
it's heat and power being conveyed thence in
the form of electric current to fireside and
factory and engine. Certainly the present sys-
TEN under which less than thirty per cent Of
than seventy per cent flies away in smoke
and ash, is altogether too inefficient for a
hard-pressed and supposedly clever world. By
some means or other we must waste less and
use more of the treasure with which nature
has endowed us, or posterity will sit bankrupt
and freezing.
Coal is only one of divers essential products
hat accumulate mountain cost on their way
to the consumer. How many potato groans
under the burden as it plods from field to
pantry How many a pound of cotton says
with detection at the repeated tolls it needs
must LAY in passing from boil to loom and on
to its ultimate wearer! Science has not yet
intimated, in so far as we are informed, that
after while it will transmute the raw stuff
of food and raiment into an essence which
can be sent, like electric current along wire,
speeding straight to the thrifty consumer. APP
parently reform in these fields must proceed
by way of more efficient distribution and
marketing.
But here assuredly there is room for the
utmost exercise of ingenuity and wisdom Be
rating the middle man" is of no avail; in
fact, If the middle man" should suddenly
vanish from our present economic scheme OF
things, many of us would find ourselves with
ueither meat, drink nor apparel. But when
such principles as those embodied in the
understood and duly applied, the farmers
profits will be much larger, the consumers
