All the bit- terness, all the agony, seemed to have gone from his life since he came to Tnverlochtle. Kileen's constancy, Alistair’s untimely death, had con- quered the longing for revenge.

(., ———— On account of closing all day next Monday, our stores will be open ALL DAY next Wednes- day, but the regular Wednesday half holiday will be resumed the Another Big Tomato Sale Due to the exceptionally large quantity of fresh Mississippi toma- toes being ready for market at one time and the necessity for quick sale of this perishable product, we were able to secure many carloads at a price that permits us to offer you one of the outstanding values of the season. Our last week’s sale was most successiul, but this week should far surpass it. You know the quality of this product, and the present arrivals are the same fine quality and condition. We repeat our.explanation of last week: These Mississippi fresh tomatoes arrive here in crates containing four pans each. ach pan con- tains in excess of four pounds, net weight — our clerks will weigh each pan at time of sale to insure there being not less than four pounds, net weight. Any net weight ovey four pounds goes to you, free with the purchase. Our price quoted here is truly remarkable considering that these tomatoes were grown so far away and trans- ported to Washington in fine condition and for your con- venience distributed to our 290 stores where, only a few minutes’ walk from home, every housewife in Washington can derive the benefit which our organization offers in the assembly of foods for your inspection and purchase.

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 due to the fact that it can be heated hot enough to fry crisply long before it burns, so that with ordinary care you can fry food in Snowdrift that is as digestible as the same food cooked any other way, and still has that rich, de- lectable “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. FOR MAKING CAKE, BISCUIT AND PASTRY .
