Is Guilty.

Bridgeport, April LF-Prelinnin-

Anthony Mannion OF Danbury and
Police Chief Harry c. Smith of
Darien.
The raid on the plant was made
by these agents assisted by par.en

mony denied tina: he failed to show
the doctor two drums OF a liquid
used in the distilation OF denatured
, alcohol and several boxes of char.

Steamers are easily distinguished
from pressure cookers The food IL
cooked in steam from boiling
water, but not under pressure. and
therefore at 4 temperature not
above boiling point. Therefore,
steamers do not shorten the cook

flavor and conserve the food value

type Of steamer has holes distrib-
uted around the bottom and sides
of the inner container. Another
admits the steam through holes
around the upper edge OF the inner
container, thus providing against
even a slight loss in mineral salts

condensed steam through the food
into the water. In November.
