ful screen dramas produced in many

includes such names as Evelyn Sel-

If the housewife understands the

good results.
For example, when butter Is called
for In a recipe, chicken fist, sour
cream, clarified bacon fat or some
other butter substitutes may be used,
depending upon the food to be pre-
pared.
Cream contains more water than
butter, chicken fat less; so, in using
such fats, their composition must be

co-operative shipping associations must accept a greatly reduced business
because of this direct movement by trucks or make use of trucks themselves.
A regular business of commercial trucking of live stock to market has
become the means of livelihood of a large number of men in the territory
tributary to such markets. The old way of eight or ten neighborhood teams
gathering to take a carload of some one’s hogs to town Is passing.
