Famous the world over as Sir Ed
ward Grey, British foreign secretary
for eleven years prior to 1916, the
Germans accuse him Of having
brought on the World War.
Founding his foreign policy on al
l~iances, counter-alliances and bal
ances of power in the sincere belief
they would keep the peace Of the
world, he lived to see his theory
smashed to smithereens by the
belching guns of all the nations Of
the earth at war.
But instead of sulking in a corner
for the rest Of his life, and stub
bornly insisting he had been right,
he admitted his error and none
worked harder than he to found the
League of Nations, the very antithe-
sis Of all his policy had been in the
past.
BY so doing he proved himself
big. History viii place him along

Our next opportunity to make Snowdrift bet

tor) is an authority on the refining Of vegetable
oil, and invented or discovered, or Whatever is
the thing one does with method, method of
refining oil that was named after him.
The Wesson method Of refining vegetable oil
probably marked the greatest advance in the
interest Of the whole industry.
Choice oil, refined by the Wesson method to
an unequalled purity and richness, is then ready
to be made into Snowdrift.
Snowdrift is made entirely of this pure vege-
table oil-nothing else-hardened into creamy
cooking fat, byhydrogenAting, because-fankIy
the women of this country didn' twant to cook
with liquid fat but wanted their cooking fat
to be white and solid and look like the old
fashioned hog lard they were accustomed to.
When you come to think of it, all fats are oils

with Snowdrift usess. Snowdrift comes out
Ebits and evsGny.
Snowdrift is always creamy and easy to use, no
matter what the weather 1t is never too hard
nor too soft. You've probably tried cooking fat
that got hard as brick in cold weather, so you
could hardly dig it out with knife, and then so
soft and mushy in warm weather that you almost
had to spoon it. Hydrogenated fat tends to get
too hard when it is chilled and to melt suddenly
before it is very warm. The secret of Snow
drifts creaminess is to add 50 Iittls hydrogen
ated fat. No matter what the weather
Snowdrift is just the creamy consistency that
q cook finds most convenient to use.

But in the search for Improvement m English
man discovered that BY hydrogenating it was
possible to make 4 solid fat entirely of pure
vegetable oil. Some Of US are not acquainted
with hydrogen except as part Of water. The
only chemical formula some of rs know, of
hand, is HlO-rwo parts hydrogen and one
part oxygen-malcing pure water
BY adding little hydrogen TO vegetable OH
under pressure and chilling il, the oil becomes
quite hard at ordinary room temperature. And
this hardened oil, itself pure vegetable fat,
canbe used instead of tallow or suer TO solidify
more vegetable oil.
This discovery enables as to make Snowdrift
an absolutely pure vegetable fat.
small quantity Of WeSsonized oil has by
drogen added to It until it is glistening, hard,
white fat. A bit of this hardened oil is melted
and mixed with the rest of the oil.
1t is then poured into pans in which huge
rolls are slowly turning round These rolls arc
hollow and filled with brine from an ice ma
chine, SO that they are freezing cold on the out
side. AS these Icy rolls dip into the pans Of
warm oil the oil is chilled and clings to the rolls
like 50 much soft snow.
AS the rolls turn round this soft, snowy fat is
brought up out of the pan below and keen
knives scrape it off into beaten large
cylinder in which there is rapidly spinning rod
with blades like q giant egg-beater. which
whip up the fat into white creaminess.
Our method of hydrogenating is not an exclu-
sive one, like the WeSSon method of refining. All
makers of pure vegetable cooking fat hydro
genate their oil in somewhat the same way. But
even in doing somewhat the same thing there is
opportunity for us to use the experience and skill

temperature. AT 90 de-

oil, butter and hog lard
are all solid fats. At ordi-

vegetable oil is liquid and
the butter and lard still
hard. Around 100 de-

Science

Recent experiments, at the Carne-
gle Institution in Washington. with
an unusually sensitive balance scales,
show the unsupported rapidity with
which man loses weight, largely
through the lungs.
This balance was so strong that a
man could sit in the scale pan, and
so sensitive that pin would tip the
beam. Constant addition of weights
is necessary to make up for the
weight man sitting in the scale loses
through breathing. Experiments
show that a man loses weight more
rapidly clothed than when nude. and
that the amount of water perspired
through the pores Of the skin is less
than the amount lost from the lungs.
Asleep, a man loses an average of
one and one-third ounces in weight
per hour. One football player lost
fourteen pounds in a game lasting an
hour and ten minutes, a marathon
runner lost eight pounds in a three
hour race, and an oarsman five
pounds in twenty-two-minute race.
