HOW TQ CLEAN PLATE GLASS
Efficacy of Newspapers for This Pint
pose Attributed to Msterlals Ussd
in Making Ink.
To clean a looking glass take a news*,
paper, or part of one, according to
ths slse of ths glass. Fold lt small
and dip It Into a basta of dean, cold
water. When thoroughly wetted,
souses* It oat la your hand as yea
would a sponge aad thai rub it baid
all over the face of the glass, taldaa
cars that lt Is not so wet that tha
moisture will stream down the glasa
Also If say drops get beneath ths
frame and behind ths glass they wUl
remain thsre la bubblss aad cannot be
dislodged without removlngtbe board
at ths back. There ts no dangsr of
any such accidents if ths nswspapsr
Is merely moistened or dampened
through, without being so wet as to
drip.
After the glass has been well rubbed
with the damp paper let It rest a min
ute. Then go over lt with afresh news*
paper, folded small In your hand, till lt
looks clear and bright, which It will
almost Immedlstely. Finish with a
fresh piece of newspaper, thoroughly
dry.
This method, simple ss lt Is, will be
found on trial the best and most ex
peditions way of cleaning mirrors or
any plate glass, giving a clearness and
polish that cannot be soon produced by
any other process. The Inside of win
dow panes may be cleaned in this man
ner, the windows having been first
washed on the outside. Also the glass
of spectacles. The glass globe of a
lamp may thus be cleaned with news
papers.
The efficacy Is attributed to the ma
terials used in making the printing Ink,

Butter Bean Cutlets.
Ingredients—Butter beans, butter or
oil, one egg, pepper, salt, one Spanish
ionlon. Soak the beans overnight (one
pint makes six cutlets) snd boll the
'next day until tender. Be careful not
.to add the salt until they are nearly
done, as this tends to harden them^
Strain and mash In an enameled bowl,

FRYING IS MADE WHOLESOME
Excess of Fsts Can Bs Avoided If
Time Allowed for Cooking and
Temperature Are Regulated.
Fats form an Important part of diet,
because they furnish much of the en
ergy required by the body. Fried food
Is by ths nature of its preparation
rich la fats and It must aoibs allowed,
to become too rich by abaotbtag to*
much grease, for such an eccoss eC fat.
not only lowers the qaaBty of tha
food, hot gl*«s rise to digestive dls»
tuibancea. Many psopls never sat
fried food of aay sort, bsesnse they
are convinced that lt Is uawholsoons
aad will surely give them ladlgestlsa.
Sad experience has confirmed thsss la
this bellsf, bat they were unfortuaato
la their cooks. Frisd food ased not bo
unwholesome. It Is all matter of
the proper temperature of the fat aad
ths length of tliao ths foot Is allowsd
to cook.
Scientists hava dlscovsred that there
Is a certain temperature at which food
absorbs the smallest quai*lty of fat.
This Is sbout 850 degrees Fahrenheit
for lard, 860 degrees Fahrenheit for
beef drippings and about 390 degrees
Fahrenheit for vegetable flits, cotton
seed, peanut oil, etc. •xperlments
hava shown that If these temperatures
were lowered 20 degrees for animal
fats and 40 degrees for vegetable, tha
amount of fat absorbed was Increased
one-fourth.
thermometer which will register
ss high as 420 degrees Fahrenheit Is
useful for measuring the temperature
In deep frying.
In pan-frying, or what the French
sail sautelng, where the feod Is sim
ply cooked In a layer of fat,
there Is less dsnger of the food soak
ing the fat, but much more of Its burn
ing.
The housewife who knows her busi
ness does not present the butcher with
all the fat that comes off the roast
or a steak when he trim* It for the
table. This Is always weighed In with
the meat, and as she Is obliged to
pay for it at the same sate as the
meat, she Is entitled to It She should
always order the trimmings sent homo
with the meat

and several stores, messenger for the
post office for the sending of special
delivery letters, has a monopoly as a
distributer of newspapers, and at the
same time conducts sn Itinerant shoe
shining business. He Is shrewd and
witty to a degree and ts allowsd many
liberties.
