DIR. David says:

I'm advising all my patients these
days to keep Misrol on hand and use
it regularly. The first thing in the
morning before you go out. And
again at night when you come home.
Don't be afraid TO use it freely. It
will do no harm. And then stop
worrying. You've done all you can
to safeguard yourself.
Put Mistol up your nose. There's a
special dropper that comes in every
package that makes it very easy TO
use. Just tilt your head back and
drop it in your nose until you feel it
in your throat. You'll notice the
pleasant, cleansing effect at once.
Mistol clears your head and makes
breathing easy. 1t has a healing,
soothing effect on the membranes
and relieves any irritation or inAam-
nation. 1t helps dry up a running
nose. Use it, too, as gargle. Mistol
is good for sore throat or hacking
cough. And above all, protects the
nose and throat against germs,
Don't wait till you begin to sneeze
or your throat aches. Take my advice
and get bottle of Mistol today.
Every druggist knows it..
The combination treatment of Nujol
and Mistol is a double safeguard
against influenza. Start this wise
two-foldprecaution nov. Don delay.
Nujol and Mistol are both made by
the same famous laboratories, of the
finest quality materials and with the
greatest skill possible. Both prepara-
tions are harmless. At all druggists.
Aren't they worth tryinge

The future, of course, is another
story. But there is every indication
that this misunderstood boy who was
starving himself because of his pride
and going insane in the process has
been saved from life either of lunacy
or crime.'
There may be a great future for an
individual who combines such an active
imagination with such an egoistic
drive and such an indomitabIe courage.
From the ranks of such are recruited
the rulers of the world. The lad had
chosen a good idol with which to iden-
tify himself. Of just such stuff was
the great Napoleon.

Precautions against colds and 'tflu"
Do these two things:
|. Protect nose and throat
2. Keep system in good condition

There's need get pancky because the papers are
full of news of influenza epidemic There's in
solating yourself because lot of other people are sick
with it. If you take two simple precautions every
day-and then don't worry-the chances are you will
throw off any cold u germs you exposed to, and
keep well.
We're not recommending that you dose yourself
with lot of medicines, either. Just observe two
health rules which can be easily followed

Right Methods of Using
Fats in General Cooking
Various Classihcations Are Considered With Re-
quirenlents as to Diet and
Special Recipes.
Special Recipes.

| ture and the time Of cooking. The
flavor varies somewhat with the kind OF
fat used, although the differences are
much les sthan one might expect. Fol
instance, even chicken fat gives little
taste to doughnuts and none at all to
French fried potatoes Sprinkled with
salt. While strongly favored fats need
not always be discarded, those with
little flavor are safest for general use.
In deep-fat frying, uncooked foods
such as doughnutS, require lower tenn
perature than foods which have beer
already cooked, such as croquettes made
of white sauce and cooked meat. The
meat need only be warmed through and
Drowned, while the doughnuts must cook
thoroughly before becoming too brown
Large pieces of uncooked foods require
q lower temperature than do small
pieces. Cold, wet, unlocked foods, such
as fish or French fried potatoes, need a
higher temperature than other unlocked
foods, especially If prepared in large
amounts, as they lower the temperature
of the fat.
Greasiness in deep-fat frying is some
what dependent upon the kind of fat
used, but much more dependent upon
the food to be cooked and the tempera-
ture used. Rich doughS and batters be-
than those containing less shortening,
and foods cooked at too low tempera-
ture absorb large amount of fat be-
cause the protecting coating is formed
less quickly than at higher tempera-
ture. ard because the material remains
in the lat for longer time Doughnuts
made without shortening absorb much
less fat than those in which shorten
ing Is used.
To Make Potato Chips.
Potato chips are easy to make If you
have cutter to do the slicing, although
hand-cut chips are possible If you use
a sharp slicing knife and cut the slices
very thin. Place them in cold water and
let stand for an hour before frying
them. Then drain as dry as possible be-
tween the folds Of clean towels. Place a
layer Of them in frying basket and
lower the basket into a kettle of fat
heated to 400 degrees F. Lower the
basket carefully, lifting up and down as
needed until the excessive bubbling
stops. In spite of the drying, the pota-
toes will still contain enough water to
cause bubbling of the fat, and care
must be exercised to prevent the fat
from going over the top. With reason
able precautions, however. this never
happens. Stir the chips while they are
cooking and let them brown delicately,
which will take about minute and a
half. Do not try to fry too many at one
time, because the water in the potatoes
will tend to lower the heat of the fat
so that good results will not follow.
Drain in the basket and then on alb
Sorbent paper. Sprinkle with salt at
once and continue until all the chips
required have been fried.
