The retrenchment wave which has struck the city government will result in the dropping on January 1 of 10 or more laborers in addition to the 10 clerks who are to lose out in the city water bureau. Announcement was made yesterday that, on account of the holding down of appropriations by the Council, one street repair gang will have to be dropped, at least until Spring. The gang is employed by the public -works department under Com missioner Dieck. The dropping ot the 10 laborers and the 10 clerks on Janu ary 1 will make a total cut in forces since December 1 of abovt 50 employes. Ippi .You can fry onions, potatoes, fish, etc., all in the same Crisco, merely by straining out food particles .after each frying. An Interesting Experiment Use Crisco ovey and over for frying all manner of foods. Merely strain the food particles from the hot Crisco after each frying. Crisco does not transmit flavors or odors. The test of frying fish, potatoes, etc., clearly illustrates Crisco' s great economy. The use of Crisco does away with the bother of keeping different fats for the prepara tion of different foods. SCO For Fityinq-Foi Shortening ror Kaxe waxing You will notice that your fried foods lack that "lardy" taste ; that the true flavor which hitherto has been hidden now delights your sense of taste; that Crisco foods arc more digestible. .Crisco is a. food fat, not merely a frying medium. Crisco in place of butter gives richness at less expense, as it costs about one-half as much as butter. It actually is a richer shortening, 100 per cent pure fat; butter only is about four-fifths shortening. Salt is put in butter to keep it sweet; Crisco remains pure and fresh indefinitely without salt. I mi ua Appropriations allowed by the City Council for street repair and mainte nance during 191i are said to be too small to permit the keeping of the full number of repair gangs on during the entire year. It has been decided there fore to lay off one gang of 10 men un til Spring. The men np to this time have been engaged In the rebuilding of macadam streets.
