It is burned fat that is responsible for most of the objections to fried food. At the right temperature for frying many fats “break down,” smoke—that is, burn—and have a tendency to upset digestion. The wholesomeness of Snowdrift as a frying fat is dueto the facr that it can be heated hot enough to fry crisply long before it burns, so that with ordi- nary care you can fry food in Snowdrift that is as digestible as the same food cooked any other way, and still has that rich, delectable “‘fried” taste. A crispy brown crust forms so quickly that the food does not absorb too much fat and, inside this thin crust, cooks to a tempting lightness and daintiness.

Sotves the Deep Dark Mystery Is Your Wife Peevish, Even Though You Give Her| a Good Home and the Comforts of Life? Try Two Simple Remedie ¥ you cbuld listen in on the thoughts of nine husbands out of ten, after you got rid of the static stuttering and cursing, you would hear something like t) “By George. 1 don't know what's the matter with Mary! She is so peevish and cross and disgruntled, she is aboyt as comfortable to live with as a percupine. Seems to think herself ill-used, yet here I am working myself to death to keep her soft and shield her from the hardships of life. What does she want? Hasn't she got a good home? Hasn't she got good clothes? Can't she spend half of her time amusing herself if she wants to? Do T ever mistreat her? Am I not as domesticated as the house cat? My lord, but women are queer, unreasonable .creatures that no man can understand.” Now. when T think of the marvels that the has wrought—when I think of the great books and plays men have written, and the great pictyres they have paluted; when I think of the Leviathan, and the steel trust, and the Panama Canal, and the radio, and the phonograph, and the telephone I am down on my knees in awe and admiration and reverence before men. But when I think of their dealings with women I get up and put a dunce cap on their heads, mighty masculine intellect For the men who can wrest her secrets from nature can live with women for 50 years without ever really getting acquainted with them or finding out what is in their souls. The men who can orgafize a business that will hold thousands of people and millions of dollars in the hollows of their hands cannot run their own homes smoothly, and the men who can decipher the hieroglyphics on a tomb that has been buried for untold centuries never unriddle the riddle of their own wives and find out what's the matter with Mary. “ e v And sad.

For the is. nor how far ontented wife, Y the hearthstone most on and a few finding out lobes of their brain what is the matter 4 2 \ As they I will solve for them. Mary merely wants to be jollied. She ‘is hungering and thirsting for a little flattery. She wants to be praieed for what she does. She wants to be petted and fussed over, and made much of, and told that she is the greatest little wife in the world, and the best cook and manager, and that her husband dwezn". know how he would get along without her. That is all there is to it. Matrimony, with a few compliments tied to it, is heaven on earth to a woman, no matter how poor she is, nor how hard she has to work. Matrimony without a kind word is dust and ashes in a woman's teeth, no matter how much it is flavored up with money and luxury. don't, and won't, their deep, dark mystery When yvou hear a woman complaining about how many s: . has to make for her husband and children, and how hard she labors to make them comfortable, and telling how she hates housework, and loathes a gas range, you may be sure she is married to a dumb husband. He is the sort of man who eats a thousand perfect dinners without saying one word of praise of the cooking, but who calls attention to the soup being a little too salty on the thousand and first night. He is the kind of man who is as silent as the grave about all of his wife's virtues, but who grows eloquent over her faults; who mnever tells her that her frock is becoming, but always tells her of her misfits, and when she has bought an unbecoming hat. Lack of appreciation—that is one thing that is the matter with Mary, that is one reason that she gets slack and discouraged and peevish, and quits trying to please a man that she can't please, anyway. NOTHER thing that o s s A is the matter with Mary is that she as you may think enough for any woman. it, husband, just being married to thing that hasn't to do She wants a little amusement on taking care of children. with three meals a day and Take it from me, the tired bu weary than the tired housewife any more.

A handful of compliments, and taking her out somewhere at least once a week, Cheap and easy, but you will marvel at the results, for I will guarantee it to bring péace and happiness into your home, to re-establish your wife's morale and make her pleasant to live with! For a woman will cheerfully offer herself up as a erifice on the Kitchen range for the husband who praises her cooking. She will squeeze every penny for the husband who cxtolls her thrift. She will consider her husband a prince among men if he will glve a single sign that he enjovs her soclety and is proud to be seen out with her, and she will worship him if he tries to do something to make life pleasant for her, The thing that ails Mary is neglect, and every husband can cure it DOROTHY DIX.
