Vegetable Fats in Nutrition.
From whatever source the individual de
rives a sufficient amount of proteid food,
whether furnished by meat, milk, egtrs
or cereals, there is still a deiieieney in the
reu.uire.1 nutriments that must be sup
plied bv fats, sugars and starch. The
proportion must, of necessity, vary wi;le
lv according to the climate, occupation
and many other circumstances. In the
arctic reeions the required ratio of fats
is much ereater. in order to maintain bod
ily temoerature and furnish resistance
to extreme cold. Consequently, the pro
portion diminishes as we gradually ap
proach the warmer climates. The starches
are not equal to administering to the
function of tissue building and repair as
are the fats.
ANTMAL FATS.
That vegetable and not animal fats are
necessary to the physical well being is
conclusive to all who study foods as the
exigency of the subject demands. Many
possess knowledge without the reason;
that is. thev do not know why they know.
They are satisfied ith half truths that
mav work us more harm than good. F-r
example, we know that the meat of the
fat animal is better than of the lean kind
and we immediately conclude, therefore,
that the very fat animal will furnish us
with the greatest percentage of nourish
ment, inasmuch as we get both fat and
nitrogenous substances. In buying the
over-fat meat we pay for a great amount
of material which is wasted in the cook
Inr and not suitable for food. The meat
that shows less fat on the surface, or in
eolid lump, but has it distributed in mi
nute subdivisions between fiber, where it
is not recognized as fat, is the most
wholesome meat.
THE PURPOSE OF AXnUL FATS.
We know that fat people and fat ani
mals an endure longer deprivation of
food .an the thin ones. This does not
prove, however, that - by eating animal
fats the human being will increase its
powers of endurance to any great extent.
The chief purpose of animal fat is. not to
benefit mankind, except indirectly, but
to conduce to the creature's comfort. The
fat is stored in its body for the same
economic purpose necessitates this pro
vision in the human system: to supply
force and endurance as wTell as to guard
against the waste of vital power.
In the minds erf many it seems "that the
only design in this accumulation of fat
in the animal is for no other purpose but
to pamper the meat eater and supply the
cook with plenty of grease with which
she may recklessly and lavishly sow the
Feeds of indigestion and future miserv.
FATS FROM THE VEGETABLE KING
DOM. The animal derives its supply of fat
from the vegetable kingdom and not second-hand,
as we d'X It seems strange
that in a civilized country the people can
prefer the unclean product of the pack
ing houses for no better reason, ofttimes,
than that the abundant supply gives it
to them at a comparatively low price.
They do not know how greatly they oblige
the packer by taking this otherwise un
profitable material off his hands, enabling
him and also the doctors to live well from
the pronis gained through the ignorance
of the buyer.
The sources of the pure vegetable fata
are just as prolific as are the animal, be
sides being specially designed by nature
for the single purpose of bodily nutrition.
wfcether applied inwardly or by outward
absorption. And no question but what
they would be even cheaper than animal
fats, if the demand was more general.
Vegetable fats have a very distinct ad
vantage over animal fats, as they are
naturally entirely free from anv bacteria
or germs of any sort which are alwavs
liable to be found lurking in fats of ani
mal origin.
NTT FATS.
These are included in the list of fats
from vegetable sources. Thev have but
very recently gained any considerable rec-
Tgnition. which is strange, considering the
mportance of nuts as oleaginous food.
The nut fats do not readilv become ran
cid, as presented in their natural form in
nut foods, properly prepared: or in the
fats when ail such substances as gym,
fiber and like elements are eliminated bv
a careful refining process. Jut and vege
table fats when sweet and fresh can not
In any way interfere with the digestion
of other foods as the animal fals will.
These facts coupled with so manv other
features in their favor make the ve'getable
fats a suitable and desirable food for
those .of delicate organism as well as the
robust. Lelicate children and enaemic
ub.iects will improve rapidiy when pal
atable and digestible fats are Introduced
Into their diet in amounts as large as they
can readily assimilate.
COOKING FATS.
Another point in favor of vegetable fat3
Is that they can be taken into the svs
tm unchanged by the process of heat
and are therefore more digestible and
valuable as food. Animal fats, on the
other hand, can not be eaten in an tin-

cooked state. And granting that they
are as clean and free from germs as the
vegetable fats, if they are improperly
cooked they are highly irritating to a deli
cate stomach. Heat must soften the cel
lular fiber structure which incloses the
globules of fat of meat, in order to ad
vance digestion. If just the right degree
of heat is , not applied the object is not
accomplished. Too frequently such a high
temperature is applied that the fat is
scorched and thus rendered totally unfit
to give anyone as food. Vegetable fats
do not scorch easily, as they reach the
browning point for frying before there
is any danger of burning them.
Recipes.
The recipe of any dish not given and re
quested will be published in these columns
as space will permit under a heading of
"Answers to Inquiries."
In wri-.ing be careful to mention this
paper.
Rice Butter Cakesi Add three cups of
warm milk to one cup of rice boiled ten
der and mix smooth: add four level table
spoonfuls of butter, softened but not
liquid, a level teaspoon salt, one and two
third cups of white corn meal, a large
tablespoon flour and two eggs well beaten.
Peat thoroughly and bake in shallow tins
in a quick oven for half an hour.
Duchess Potatoes Bake eight large po
tatoes and when done remove the skins
and mash the potatoes smooth; mix with
an ounce of butter a level tablespoon
salt, quarter of a teaspoon -of white pep
per and the yolks of two eggs. Place the
potato paste on molding board and roll
out about quarter of an inch thick and
cut into round or fancy shapes. Lay in
a buttered pan. Brush with beaten egg
and bake in the oven until a rich golden
color. This paste may be prepared the
night before from left-over baked pota
toes, mixing while potatoes are warm.
Beef Pie With Potato Crust Slice very
thin enough cold roast beef to half fill
your baking dish. Place the beef, any
left-over gravy, a large tablespoon of
butter, a small onion, sliced, and salt and
pepper together in a stewing pan; cover
with water and dredge with flour to thick
en the gravy. Cover and simmer gently
until gravy is reduced and rather thick.
Have mashed potatoes prepared in usual
way. Put the meat and gravy in the bak
ing dish and cover with a thick crust of
the potatoes. Brush with beaten egg and
bake in a quick oven long enough to
brown the crust. A few spoonfuls of left
over tomatoes or a spoonful of Worces
tershire sauce may be added to the stew
for variety.
Eggs a la Tripe Boll eight eggs hard;
chili in cold water; then remove shells
and separate yolks and white, keeping
yolks entire. Shred the whites. Make
a pint of Bechemel sauce. Place the yolks
of eggs in the middle of a heated dish
and the shredded whites around them.
Pour the boiling sauce over them and
sprinkle a little minced parsley over the
top. Oarnish with fried croutons or toast
point.
French Fanned Oystersj Xrain half a
pint of large oysters; lay them flat in a
shallow glazed dish: sprinkle over them
a little of the oyster liquor, but not
enough to cover them. Place the oysters
in a moderately hot oven for about five
minutes, just heating them through but
not baking them. Lay slices of toast on
a hot dish: pour the oyster liquor over
them and place the oysters on top.
Picked Salt Cod With Parsnip Sauce
Pick a cup of the fish into rather large
flakes and freshen in cold water, then
cover with milk and cook for ten minutes.
Pare and cut a small parsnip Into dice
and boil until tender, then run through
a sieve and add this to the milk and fish
with white pepper to taste and a table
spoon of butter and a little flour to
thicken. Serve on toast.
Onion Sauce for Beeksteak Slice small
white onions rather fine: cover with boil
ing salted water and cook five minutes:
then drain and cover with brown beef
stock and simmer until onions are tender.
Thicken the sauce with flour and butter
rubbed to a paste to proportion of two
level tablespoon fuls each of butter and
flour to a cup of stock. Season with pep
per and salt.
Inquiries Answered.
Mrs. P. B. D. writes: Will you be kind
enough to publish a recipe for hashed
brown potatoes such as are used In first
class restaurants: also a recipe for split
pea soup? These two things have always
baffled me.
HASHED BROWN' POTATOES.
For this dish select the waterv or waxy
potatoes, not the mealy kind, or they will
not keep their shape. Boil four good-sized
potatoes until just tender. When done let
get cold and chop fine. Season with salt
and pepper while chopping them. Put
two level tablespoons of butter into a
smooth frying pan and place over the
fire until hot. then put in the potatoes,
having a layer about an inch thick. Press
the potatoes down in the pan as compact
ly as possible, using a very flexible knife
or kitchen spatula. Place on the range
where they will cook verv slowly for
about eight minutes. Thev should be a
rich even brown on the bottom and look
dry on the top. Do not stir them. When
done begin at one side of the pan and roll
or fold the potatoes over like an omelet
with under side up. Unless you have a
very limber knife you can not succeed
very well.
SPLIT PEA SOUP.
Wash one pint of split peas in cold wa
ter and pick out those that float. Soak
over night in plenty of water. In the
morning drain them and cover with a
quart of boiling water. Cook until tender.
Then add one pint of boiling water and
one quart of stock (if you have none on
hand you can make it from a few crack
bones and bits of meat fresh or cooked).
Press the soup through a sieve: return to
the kettle and let boil up once. Season
with salt and pepper and serve with crou
tons. MARS tO I A LLOW CAKE.
Mrs. Brown writes: Will you kindly
publish a recipe for marshmailow cake
in your column?
Beat together to a cream half a cup of
butter and one and a haif cups of sugar.
Sift two teaspoons of baking powder with
three cups of sifted flour three times.
Now add the flour and three-quarters of
a. cupful of water, alternating. Then fold
in carefully the stiffly beaten white of
four eggs. Bake in two or three layers.
There are two fillings used. One, the
original filling, is ma.de with gum-arabic
and is rather troublesome. We give the
simplest method. Boil two cups of sugar
with one cup of flour until it ropes. Just
before taking from the fire stir in half a
pound of marshmallows broken into small
pieces. When melted pour this svrup
gradually into the well-beaten whites of
two eggs and beat continuously until thick
end cold.

Effect of Larger Engines on
Housing Facilities.
Santa Fe's Topeka Roundhouse
and Appurtenances Taxed.
SOME ILLUSTRATIONS.
Compounds Barely Clear Doors
' and Pinch Turntable.
The New Shops, on .Their Way
Are Greatly Needed.
As the Santa Fe keeps building and
buying larger locomotives the biground-
house and its appurtenances are taxed
to contain them. Every stall is plenti
fully used by the large number of en
gines that are housed and overhauled
there.
Some of the engines are so huge now
that it is a veritable squeeze to get
them in the roundhouse. Some of the
big compounds cannot be put in certain
stalls, owing to the fact that they will
not clear the doors and in going through
the others It is a matter of squeezing
almost for the cab to clear by a couple
of inches on either side.
When the big flyers and 'pushers that
crowd close to a hundred tons are put
in, the roundhouse turntable shows the
effect of the expansiona few years have
made in locomotive building. The pres
ent turntable comes close to being over
taxed and the big engines must be bal
anced to a nicety to get them around.
Third Vice President Barr and General
Manager Mudge in touring the shops
yesterday with the heads of the ma
chinery department, were interested
spectators in seeinsj one of the new
Rhode Island giants put on the table
and housed yesterday afternoon. Per
haps an improved turntable will be in
stalled now. The present one is not as
easy to push as a baby carriage.
Na 990, the largest locomotive ever
built at the Topeka shops, had to be
brought around through the yard from
the erecting shop to the roundhouse,
when turned out a few days ago. It
could not be transferred direct because
of the woocen turntable that otherwise
must be crossed between the erecting
shop and the roundhouse.
It is evident that enginesever increas
ing in size make problems for the rail
roads in caring for them. If they get
much larger the facilities for handling
them must be improved, even here in
Topeka. The cramped quarters within
which shop work on locomotives is being
done is emphasized daily, and the new
shops now building will be a great re
lief. The company is providing itself
more room by the proposed additions,
upon which work is already started, and
the completion of which can not come
any too soon.
MILEAGE STILL, UNSETTLED.
Trans-missouri Officials Could Not
Agree at Kansas City.
Strained relations and disruption of
mileage bureaus are threatened as a re
sult of the passenger representatives of
the Transmissouri lines in Kansas City
yesterday.
When the meeting opened in the
morning on the surface all was serene.
It was not long, however, until a sensa
tional feature was sprung. Thi3 was no
less than a diplomatic accusation made
by representatives of eastern roads hold
ing for the mileage credit system, that
the roads advocating the mileage ticket
on trains were doing so in the interest
of ticket brokers or "scalpers." From
that time on turmoil was continuous.
A committee was appointed to secure,
if possible, the taking of some definite
steps, but at the end of an hour this
committee reported that no more pro
gress had been made than in the general
session, and the meeting adjourned. The
question will be opened afresh at the
meeting of the Western Passenger as
sociation in Chicago next Friday.
It was soon developed that the roads
represented in the meeting were divided
into two classes, with one road central.
The roads with membership in the
Southwestern Passenger bureau stood
"pat" in the proposition of the inter
changeable mileage credit system. The
northern lines advocated an interchange
able mileage ticket good on trains. The
Santa Fe posed as the neutral road, and
as a compromise suggested an inter
changeable mileage ticket restricted
with the provision that mileage should
be torn out and exchanged at ticket
offices for tickets.
The adoption of an Interchangeable
mileage system by Transmissouri roada
is of the greatest importance to com
mercial travelers generally between the
Missouri river and Colorado points.
While all roads now sell mileage books,
none are interchangeable. The proposi
tions under consideration are for the
extension of the interchangeable mile
age system now in use between the Mis
souri river and Chicagoand the issuance
of independent interchangeable mileage
good only in Transmissouri territory.
The advisability of issuing the mileage
is corfceded, but the gone of contention
is the manner in which it is to be done.
The southwestern roads want the in
terchangeable mileage credit system, and
refuse to stand for the Interchangeable
mileage tickets, which they claim are
susceptible of manipulation by "scalp
ers." The northern lines advocate the
Interchangeable mileage ticket, and
against the charge that such are "food"
for scalpers, declare that farmers, as
well as commercial travelers, can se
cure the benefits of the credit system.
The restricted mileage ticket, with
which ticket agents are concerned, form
a possible compromise.
MISSOURI PACIFIC WRECK.

By a misunderstanding of signals the

its upper works. The left side of the cab
was demolished. Fireman Overton owes
his life to the fact that he was in the

Cripple Creek Air Line Prospects.
Denver, Nov. 28. President Frank
Trumbull, of the Colorado & Southern
railway, will leave for New York Friday
to attend the annual meeting of the di
rectors of the road. Officers of the com
pany will be elected, and the proposed
Denver-Cripple Creek air line will be
discussed. Mr. Trumbull hopes that the
directors may decide to begin active op
erations in building road.
A Kernel of Truth.
By the acquisition of the Wabash
lines west of the Mississippi by the
Santa Fe, as reported, a great many
more Kansas people would visit St.
Louis. There are numbers of Kansas
people who never go where the Santa Fe
doesn't, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The first statement has been ex
ploded, but a grain of truth still rests
in the last observation.
Christmas Goods Bloving.
Holiday supplies are giving local
freight business a boom on account of
the approach of Christmas. Christmas
goods of every description are going
through and out of Topeka to Interior
towns. Candy and nuts are moving in
large quantities. Merchants are ex
pecting an unprecedented holiday trade,
and have arranged for generous stocks
and stores to accommodate it.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.
The Neill company will be at the
Crawford tonight in "Aristocracy." In
a certain city recently where the famous
Neill company were playing, Mr. James
Neill, the distinguished actor, was
standing watching a groundhog as it
nosed around in the window of a sa
loon. While standing there he over
heard a dispute between, two Irishmen
as to what kind of an animal it was.
One maintained it was a "popsum," the
other held that it was a coon. The
"possum" man went into the saloon to
get the question settled. "That is a
Montana rat, sir," said the man behind
the bar. The inquirer departed. As he
reached the street he said to his friend,
who was waiting: "Pat, we're both
wrong. It's a Mark Hanna rat."
The Nashville Students will be at the
Crawford tonight for a third perform
ance. A matinee was given this after
noon. Helen Hart and her company in "The
High School Girls," will be at the Grand
Thanksgiving, matinee and night.
The specialties introduced in "Have
Tou Seen Smith?" the new musical
farce comedy soon to dispense mirth in
this city, are not only entertaining in
themselves, but they have the merit of
novelty, being new and different from
the specialties seen in farce comedies.
The farce will be at the Crawford
Thanksgiving, matinee and night.

PROMPT ACTION
Thoroughly Cures Every Form of Piles.
The Pyramid Pile vure has been a
pleasant surprise to thousands of suffer
ers, because of the instant relief it gives
and the prompt cure which follows its
regular use, and this is done without
the use of opiates, cocaine, narcotics or
poisons of any kind, as careful analysis
shows the Pyramid Pile Cure to be
wholly free from any injurious drug
whatever.
Hundreds of people who had almost
decided to undergo an operation, be
lieving nothing else would cure them
have been astonished to find that a fifty
cent box of the Pyramid was far safer,
better and more effective than an op
eration could possibly be.
The Pyramid Pile Cure allays the In
flammation and intolerable itching, re
duces the tumors, and by its astringent
properties causes the enlarged blood
vessels to contract to a healthy condi
tion. A gentleman living In Cleveland re
lates his experience by saying: "It
affords me unusual pleasure to add my
endorsement to what I consider a real
ly wonderful pile cure.
I was a sufferer from piles for years
until a brother salesman told me about
the Pyramid- Pile Cure; it has entirely
cured me and I cheerfully recommend
it."
Mrs. D. E. Reed of Albany says: "I
would not take $500 and be placed back
where I was before I used the Pyramid
Pile Cure; I suffered for years and it is
now eighteen months, since I used it and
not the slightest trace of the trouble
has returned."
Mrs. Hinkley of Indianapolis was told
by her physician that nothing but a
surgical operation.costing between seven
and eight hundred dolalrs, could cure
her as she had suffered fifteen years,
yet even in such a case the Pyramid
Pile Cure accomplished a complete cure;
she says: "I knew an operation would
be death to me and tried the Pyramid
with very little hope, so it is not to be
wondered at that I am so enthusiastic
in its praise."
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at fifty cents for complete
treatment and as it contains no opiate
or other poisonous drugs may be used
with entire safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any
form, who will give this excellent pre
paration a trial.
iNGLEiyiEHT WEATHER BEGIHS
THE LAST OF NOVEMBER.
Inclement weather begins la Nov
ember. The great objection to our
climate Is that it alternates between
the heat of the tropics and the rigors
of the Arctic
The system becomes relaxed by the
effects of the heat, and the first cold
snap of November sows the seed of
thousands of cases of chronic catarrh
which in a large per cent, of cases
will end fatally.
President VVm. Lbelaker Uses Pe
runa as a Safeguard Against
Inclement Weather.
Wm. Ubelaker, president of the Lake
View lodge of Foresters, writes from
3327 North Clark street, Chicago, 111.,
the following letter:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen For years past when I
have been exposed to wet or inclement
weather, my chest would hurt me and I
would have serious indigestion, and I
would be laid up for a day or two; caus
ing inconvenience and pain.
One of my lodge friends advised me
to try Peruna, as it had helped him, and
I found that a bottle cured me.
If I feel badly now I at once take two
or three doses, and I find it keeis me in
fine health. Peruna is worthy at every
one's confidence.
Yours respectfully,
WM. UBELAKER.
It is only just ordinary good, common
sense to provide against inclement
weather. If you have the slightest cold,
cough, sneezing, or any other indication
that you are "under the weather," a
few doses of Peruna will put you right.
Don't wait for the catarrh to fasten
itself upon you before you begin your
treatment. Peruna will cure very old
cases of chronic catarrh, but it takes
much longer than if the treatment had
been begun earlier.
Every family should be provided with
a bottle of Peruna early in November,
with which to successfully meet and
overcome the terrors of the winter that
awaits them.
One of the most common forms of
catarrh among delicate women is ca
tarrh of the pelvic organs. This leads
