SAVING THE FATS FOR FOOD
This Farm Method of Saving Fats From Rinds, Bones, and Scraps Can Be
Used on a Small Scale on Any Kitchen Stove.
GREAT VALUE OF
SUET IN COOKING
Most Housewives Know That It
Is Excellent Shortening.
IT HAS SOME MEAT TISSUE
Poßteues Same Food Value ae Lard,
and if Properly Tried Out, It le
Satlefactory Substitute for
Frying Purposes.
Special pains should always be
taken to save and use suet because of
Its great value In cookery. Most
housewives know that rendered suet
Is a very good shortening and very
commonly they also have special
dishes In which the chopped suet is
used Instead of a rendered fat. In
addition to the fat It contains, chopped
suet has some meat tissue. Rendered
suet possesses the same food value as
lard or other similar shortening, and
If properly tried out it is a satisfactory
substitute for frying purposes, for
shortening, and for making savory
fats. Anyone who regards suet as
useful only in making soap Is wrong
for It Is a valuable food. Its use for
soap making should be considered only
when the fat has become too rancid
for use or when It has been burned
when used for frying.
Trying Out Suet.
Those who do not know how to ren
der and use suet sometimes object to
It on the ground of Its hardness and
special flavor. Fresh suet, however,
can be so rendered as to make a soft
useful fat practically free from any
distinctive flavor or odor. The follow
ing is a simple method for trying out
suet:
Remove the skin and lean parts
from beef fat and cut It Into small
pieces. Put It Into a saucepan and
cover It with cold water. Place it on
the stove uncovered, as It Is believed
that steam carries away strong flavors.
When the water is nearly all evapo
rated set the kettle back and let the
fat try out. When the fat has ceased
bubbling and the scraps of skin are
shriveled, allow the scraps to settle
at the bottom of the kettle, strain the
fat through a cloth, and set It away
to cool.
This fat is so valuable In cooking
that housewives will do well to save
all suet which Is trimmed from beef
and try It out.
Suet and Leaf Lard.
For those who want a mixture of
suet and leaf lard, which Is a softer
fat than rendered suet and has a dif
ferent flavor, the following recipe will
be useful:
Take two parts of suet and one of
leaf lard, finely ground, and mix to
gether. Render this with whole milk
In the proportion of one-half pint to
two pounds of the mixed suet and lard.
(Render means to melt down or to
clarify by melting.) This may be con
veniently done If the suet and lard
mixture be finely divided by passing It
through a meat grinder and then
heated In a double boiler, when the
fat will be quickly released from the
tissues, and when strained and al
lowed to cool will form a cake on the
surface of the liquid which may be
easily removed.
This fat has a good odor, color gad
texture, and Is softer than the suet
alone. It Is particularly useful for
frying and for shortening foods which
are spiced or have distinctive flavors,
and may be also used with satisfac
tory results In shortening such things
as baking-powder biscuits. It is also
useful for cooking vegetables either
alone or with the addition of a little
butter.
The unpopularity of fried food In
many families is due largely to the
fact that the fat has been burned in
cooking. Fat when heated to too high
a temperature splits up and may form
substances which have an irritating
effect on the throat and may cause
digestive disturbances. Fat in itself
is a very valuable food, and if It is not
scorched should prove a healthful
rather than an objectionable article
of diet.
Destroy Home Pests.
Clean up the cabbage patch! Don’t
raise a crop of insect pests on the
stalks. That is what is likely to hap
pen if stalks of cabbage or cauli
flower, collards, brussels sprouts, and
such vegetables are left in the garden
after they have fulfilled their food
mission. Entomologists of the United
States department of agriculture
advise that where such remnants of
the garden can be promptly fed to
hogs or cattle a double purpose will
be served —Insect pests will be kept
down and a food provided for meat
making animals.
The plants just named are affected
by the same class of insects of which
there are several distinct kinds —cab-
bage worms, the cabbage looper, harle
quin cabbage bug, cabbage aphis, and
other plant lice and cutworms —any
one of which, if it occurs in sufficiently
large numbers, is capable of destroy
ing an entire crop. After the cabbage
has been cut the stalks are likely to
bear numerous shoots which harbor
the insects in autumn and even dur
ing early winter. Cabbage heads
which have not properly matured
either because of insect ravages or
for other reasons also may provide a
place of refuge for bugs. All such
crop remnants which cannot be used
for feed, and weeds or other rubbish,
should be destroyed now by burning.
If the gardener is familiar with the
use of arsenlcals some stalks may be
left growing to serve as traps for in
sects, the specialists say. The pests
which gather on such traps can be
readily destroyed by dusting the
plants with dry parts green or arsen
ate of lead diluted with About 20 parts
of finely sifted lime or road dust.
Foods Rich In Iron.
Compared with most other foods,
milk contains much lime, but very lit
tle iron. Spinach and other green veg
etables, and egg yolks are rich in
iron. This is one reason ahy com
binations of egg yolks or vegetables
with milk are good, particularly for
feeding Children, for they have special
need for lime and iron.
Plan Meals Carefully.
Dp pot be ashamed to plan meals
closely. enough, of course,
but practice thrift and plriiT econom
ical dishes, and use the M left-overs n
for making palatable dishes —there
are many- such.

Washington, D. C. —The war depart

The record, including the address of
General Bordeaux, in part says:
“By command of General Bordeaux,
French division, the bodies of Corporal
Gresham, Private Enright and Private
Hay, company F. Sixteenth Infantry,
were interred with religious and mili

afternoon of November 4.

“An altar was improvised and elabo

“Following the church ceremony the
cortege proceeded to a field adjacent
to the village and formed on three
sides of a square, the bodies being
placed in front of the graves on the
fourth side. An American flag, pro
vided by the French, had been placed
over the caskets.
“At two o’clock General Bordeaux,
accompanied by his full staff, his In

and a representative of the French
corps commander, arrived and took
position.
“The troops presented arms and the
French field music and band played

Of their own free will, they had left
their happy and prosperous country to
come over here. They knew that the war
continued In Europe; they knew that the
forces fighting for honor, love, justice,
civilization were still checked by the long
prepared fo.rces which are serving the
powers of brutal domination, oppression,
barbarity. They knew that an efTort was
still necessary. They wished to give us
their help; and also their generous hearts
did not forget old historical memories,
while others forgot more recent ones.
They Ignored nothing of the circum
stances. Nothing had been concealed from
them—neither the length nor hardships of
this war. nor the violence of the battle,
nor the dreadfulness of the new weapons,
nor the perfidy of the foe. Nothing stop
ped them.
They had accepted to lead a hard and
strenous life; they had crossed the ocean
despite great peril; they had taken their
place on the front by our side; they have
fallen, facing the foe, In a hard and des
perate hand to hand fight. Honor to
them! Their families, their friends and

ready to sacrifice as long as It will be
necessary, until final victory for the no

Thus, the death of this humble cor

appears to us with ‘extraordinary grand

We will, therefore, ask that the mortal
remains of these young men be left here.

corps is about 3,800. Increasing the
enrollment by nearly 1,000 per cent in
a year is the task confronting the
corps.
Daily numbers of nurses are being
called for to meet immediate needs
in army hospitals in the United States
and for duty overseas. The pres
ent rate of enrollment does not meet
the demands. Hospitals at National
Guard and National army camps still
need 371 nurses to bring the quotas of
all up to the minimum considered
necessary—os each.
In order to get the enrollments up
to the needed number some of the re
quirements heretofore imposed are be
ing waived. According to estimates of
the nursing committee of the general
medical board of the council of nation
al defense, there are between 80,000
and 90,000 registered nurses in the
country and about 200,000 other gradu

but will be in a week or so. The nec
