 Lee Chow halted the sedan just Inside thicket of vines screening the old wood road down which he had returned.

With Lillilan's revelation of the ter rlble crime with which Steve" was linked, there had come to mo an intensifcation of the fear with which I regarded the man. Before leav- ing the house l had slipped into my dress the tiny silencer piCtol which Lillian had given me in the days of our war work, When "Steve" de- scended from the car I found myself frantically clutching it but the knowledge of Lee Chows presence and power in any emergency calmed me, and I pulled myself together and stepped into the doorway.

VALUE Of FOOD

BY SAUCE
Vegetables, Fish, M eats
Improve Flavor With
Little Work.

No matter how good a dish may
be. fine sauce makes it better. The
extra flavor in foods at the better
hotels and restaurants is generally
due to the sauces, which seem so I'M
ususl. so delicate. that they add zest
and pungency to the most familiar
foods.
Canned foods are. as a rule for i'm
mediate use. but even they may be
improved by the addition of fine
sauce. Many a seemingly elaborate
dish is merely a very simple one mas
querading under a fancy name given
because of its sauce.
Canned vegetables. fish and fruits.
also lend themselves to the making OF
good sauces for other dishes; there
fore it would be we'll to keep a stock
Of specially desirable canned foods at
hand in order that the sauces may
not be lacking from the menu. These
accessories are very simple matter
when one looks into them; all that
is required is to know how to make
the three foundation sources which
form a background for nearly every
fine dressing that is served.

And when you are through with Crisco.
simply push the kettle Of Crisco to the
back of the stove where it will cool and
be ready for the next time you want it.
You can use it over and over again, for
frying all kinds of food. Crisco doesn't
absorb food havors and the moment you
put the food in the hot Crisco, a crust
forms on the outside which prevents the
Crisco soaking in and keeps the true
flavor inside
Therefore the first two or three pounds

tion offered as the school progresses. !"
recording TO Mrs. Ida B. Chitwood,
conductor Of the school. Mrs. Chit
wood bases this statement on the fact
that the women are beginning to ask
more questions about the work and are
displaying more interest in getting
each point clearly fixed in mind.
A feature of Wednesdays class was
the number of elderly women in the

recipes and methods correctly in a

with the younger housewives and is
eager 10 learn newer methods which
will make foods more palatable.

could not stress too much. the neces-
sity and in the long run. the economy,
of using only the best materials. The
products which Mrs. Chitwood uses in
her lectures are carefully selected by
her. She states that she has selected
these products because of their fresh
ness and because she can have better
success with them.
FOR SHORTENING.
Mrs. Chi.wood said: THE short
ening in cake making is used TO make
the food shorter or more tender. Nat

white vegetable fat, which having no
flavor of its own, allows the fullest
development of the Characteristic nav-

~There is also a secondary purpose
Of shortening in cake making. and this
is the introduction Of air into the

NUCOA PASSES ALL
RIGID FOOD TESTS

Miss Esther l.. Branch, director OF
nutrition department, for the Best
Foods, Inc, producers of Nucoa, re-
Gently summed up the requirements
that a food product should fulfill in a
very concise and interesting way.
Find a food product that answers
all of these requirements; says Miss
Branch. land you will have food
that merits a permanent place on your
table" Miss Branch calls her little
catechism the "Six Point Test" be-
cause she applies to food six leading
questions:
Is it clean? That is. is the produc.
ton under model conditions of abso-
lutte sanitation? Is it pure? Is it
high in easily digested nourishment?
Is it good in flavor? Appetite and
digestion must be stimulated by taste.
Is it uniform? Is it economical?
Miss Branch has had occasion in the
course of her work to make some very
interesting investigations on Nucoa.
At present she is particularly con-
cerned in making a widespread check
up. as part of the Best Foods operat-
ing policy, of the answers which Nj
Goa gives to the "Six Point Test"
This work brings her into contact
with many women and has given her
an opportunity to form an estimate of
the spread of scientific knowledge
about food that confirms the value of
all the educational work that is being
done along the line. y.
She finds, for example, that where
a very few years ago Nucoa was pur-
chased solely because of its delicious
flavor and its economy, women today
are even more interested in its purity
and uniformity and particularly in its
quality as a food for children.
