1 THE
BEST METHOD OF FRYING FOOD.
Some Valuable Suggestfbns and How to
Get Satisfactory Results. No Need
of Having Dyspepsia.
Most physiciuns, especially In the |
northern United States, say that fried j
food is responsible for most of the dys- i
pepsia. especially in the south, where
frying: is most prevalent.
This is no doubt true, in a broad and
average way, but it is not necessary
that it.should be true. Too much grease
of any kind, and in any way, is certainly
bad for the digestion; but the
conclusion must not be too hastily
reached that fried food is necessarily
greasy. Grease for cooking should be
looked upon merely as as a medium for
communicating a high degree of heat. ||
It in nnf ncunllv nAoelKlo * ? +Vtlrtrra 1
? - ? uouaaj |?vooiujc IV v.wu nn??oo
in water to a higher temperature than ,
212 degrees, and hence In many cases
it is necessary to cook meats, .etc., a
long while at this temperature to get
them done. But it is easily possible to
cook things equally well done in grease
In a much, shorter time, on account of
the higher temperature that may bo
reached?sometimes* 300 to 400 degrees.
The true way to cook in grease is to
get it very hot before introducing the
meat or other article. When it is j
dropped in the higher degree of heat
immediately chars the outer surface
and closes the pores, so that the grease
cannot get inside, it is Important to
keep the heat up, and not to put the
articles into the grease so fast as to
lower the temperature. When done,
they should be immediately removed
and laid on a cloth to absorb the adhering
grease. Many cooks take a
frying pan off the lire with the eggs
or meat in It, all cook?0, an?* leave it j
so until served. This is the next best
way to let the grease soak through to
the centre. The very best wayrfo soak
the grease in, and the very best way
to promote dyspepsia* is to put the articles
in the frying pan to cook when
the grease is not hot enough.
Frying is generally a most wasteful"
manner of cooking, for the reason thttf
so much of the grease is thrown away"
after the article Is cooked. This is generally
unnecesspry.Olf the frying haB'
been prdperly done, the grease has not
taken up much from the article cooked.
The grease may be poured from the
frying pan into u vessel of hot water,
when most of the foreign matter will
settle and the pure grease wiir float,
after somewhat washing Itself 11* the
water. It may then be used again and
again with the best results.
There is naturally a smell from Any
frying grease, tin hXirope, where many
kinds of grease aaid oils are used fur
frying, people become accustomed tV>
the different smells, and do not mind
them. In this country all are accustomed
to the smell of frying hog lard.
When it was* flrst proposed to cook |
wnn canon ou me new smell was odJectionable,
especially the smell .of
badly refined oil, and thus there gitew
a prejudice against its uae. Another
cause for bad' results with the oil wi*s
the fact that often times the cooi^
would not wailt for the oil to get hot ,
enough before putting it in the articles. 1
When using layd, the cook would naturally
wait for 4t to melt, and it would
get hot without provoking impatience.
But the oil looks ready when It is first
put In the frying pan, and there Is a
temptation to use It too soon. There
has been much steady w*>rk done by
those who make cooking compounds
from cotton oil, with a view to reducing
or disguising the smell. The result has
been most gratifying. There are several
concerns making a specialty of
oil refined for use In cooking, without
further manipulation. The Wesson Process
company of Savannah, Ga., has
beep very successful in this line and
will be glad to mall cook books.
There are also a number of highly
satisfactory cooking greases made
from cotton oil and beef fat, such as
"Palmatena" nnd "Snow Drift," both
of which products are extensively
manufactured by the Southern Cotton
Oil Company of the Carolinas and
Georgia at their works lp Savannah.
They are both high class and reliable
products In which the pure cotton seed
oil Is used and they resemble lard in
appearance and result's, but are more
satisfactory and healthy, and which are
superior to hog lard from every point of
view. That they are much more
healthful there can be no doubt.'
MAY CALL AN EXTRA

Rumored That Such Is President's
Intention.

NOVEMBER THE MONTH SKtli
Rumors of More or Less Definite >Na>
ture Are Rife that Extra Session
May Be Called to Ratify Reciprooal
Treaty with Cuba.
Washington, Aug. 12.?Advices received
hero indicate that President
Itoosevolt will call the senate in extraordinary
session early in Novexa- i
ber. ISver since it beoasoe evident
that nothing would be accomplished as'
to reciprocity with Cube at the recent
session of congress, rumors ol
a more or less definite nature have
been in clreulatlon th^t t&e preab
dent will call an extra ^session, either
of the entire congress to enact Cuban
reciprocity legislation-or of the penaVY
to ratify, if possible, a reoliirod' al
treaty with Cuba.
Durinx the nn?t i* '

stated that it was tb'j purpose o?7 President
Roosevelt \*0 call a special ses

It can be aK^ted by authority that ho
has no sp^h intention. ..His tl'lne and
that o? 'many membors of b/?tb poll 11cal

S^tembcr and October. It Js un-i
'uerstood to be the lieliff frl tlih ,prt?sldent
that the session off the senate
held for the purpose of ratlftylryg a
reciprocity treaty with Cufc would' he
much more likely to he ffiUftful of results
if held after tho November elections
than if held before. It Is assured
that the question of the rela*
tlons of the United fitat<w with Cuba
will enter largely into the approaching
campaign and it. is slfcted that the
president feels the democrats will he
less likely to offer seriouR opposition
to a reciprocity treaty after the election
than they would lie before that
