PROPER USE OF FATS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCE8 THEY HAVE DIFFERENT USES. Home Rendering of Suet and Beef lard Alwaya to Be Recommended Economy Practiced by the German Housewife. Fats that are derived from the cooking of bacon, bam, chicken, beef and other meats 6hould be kept, each In ita own receptacle, to be used for different purposes. Home rendering of both suet and leaf lard has its advantages, because the product Is generally superior to what can be bought for the same price. Both suet and leaf lard require cooking in order to loosen , the fat from the tougher membrane that holds It For this purpose the mate rial la cut Into small pieces and cov ered with water and allowed to cook slowly for some time until no more water remains. A better method for suet is that used by German . housewives, who economize on butter by the use of beet fat more than do American housekeep ers. The suet is cut in small pieces and covered with water, in which it is allowed to soak for a day, the water being changed once in the time. It Is then drained, the scrap has turn ed to a light brown, and put into an Iron kettle with one-half teacup of skimmed milk to every pound of the suet It should be cooked very slow ly until the sound of boiling entirely ceases. When it has partly cooled it should be carefully poured off. This fat has no unpleasant taste or odor, and in many recipes may be substituted for part of the butter. Some cooks add a pound of leaf lard to four or five of the suet; this makes a softer fat, as lard has a lower melting point than beef fat. An old-fashioned method of clarify ing fat from the soup kettle, or from cooled meats, so that it may be used In the kitchen, is to add the cold fat to a liberal quantity of ' cold water, then heat slowly and let cook for an hour or more. When cold, the cake of fat is removed and the lower por tion, which will contain the small par ticles of meat, etc., should be scraped away and the white, clean fat saved. If the flavor or color of both are not satisfactory, the process may be re peated several times. Another meth od which is often recommended is to cook a number of slices of raw potato in the boiling fat When an Ice chest Is used, fat In small quantities may be easily kept sweet for cooking purposes. If lard is rendered at home in quantity suffi cient for a long time, it should be kept covered in tins or earthen Jars, In a cool,' dry place, Worth Knowing. How many know that to let silver stand In sour milk a half hour, then wash in good soapy water, will make it look as bright as to polish it with sliver paste? To clean knife handles or any bone article It is a good plan to use salt and lemon Juice. First rub the arti cle well with the lemon lulca Anil then with the salt This will remove the stains and grease spots. Tar mar be removed from tha hands by rubbing with the outside of fresh orange or lemon peel and dry ing Immediately. The volatile oils dissolve tar so that it can be rubbed off. Nice Fruit Cookies. .

A low stool with broad seat, mos. convenient for drying the feet, for put ting on shoes and stockings or pedi curing, is given a touch by one house keeper that makes it effective and sanitary. The cushion, Indeed, most of the framework, Is covered wltk a neatly fitted slip, with square top and aides, made of thick white Turkish toweling. Several of the covers are owned, so they can be frequently changed: usually a fresh one Is put on each morning. Too Fast "I don't believe in forcing schools for children," said Gov. Woodrow Wil son at a dinner in Trenton. "A child that knows at four as much as ordina rily It would know at eight, Is, to my mind, about as tasteful an object as Calhoun Clay's watch. "'That's a fine watch you've got there, Calhoun,' said a friend. Is it a good goerT "A good goerr said Calhoun Clay. 'Well, you bet your life It's a good goer. Why, It can do an hour in half the time I'" CARE AND USE OF CASSEROLE Excellent Servant of the Cook Must Have Proper Treatment, and This Advice Is Good. 3efore using a casserole for the first time, it is well to temper It; this is best done by covering It with cold water. Then letting the water come to the boiling point, remove from the fire, and let the casserole remain in the water until It Is ccfld. Under no circumstances let the cas serole be DUt on the atnva without water or fat In It; if this is done the aisn wm crack. Avoid sudden chances of temnera turn with the casserole; that Is, do not take it from the hot stove or oven and place It in cold water or in a wet sink; this will Drove disastrous to the dish. Casserole cooklnr renulrea nnlv moderate heat; if something is being cooked in the casserole at the same time that intense heat la rennlred for something else, take the precau tion 01 setting the casserole in a pan of water. In cooking anvthlns In a eaaaernla it is well to allow twice thn time fnr cooking that would ha rennlred warn the stew or vegetables or fruit cook- ea in me ordinary way.

A winsome I lass, flashing a smile as sunnily sweet as a day in June, has brought about the downfall of dozens of auto speeders on the Venice road, the "speed mania" road of Los Angeles county. On the rear seat of a motorcycle, with a sturdy county motorcycle "cop" steering, the young woman, claim the autolsts, has been the pretty decoy that has led them into opening the mufflers of their engines and cutting down the road at a pace that soon landed them in trouble. Of. course, the motorists do not for a moment think that the pretty young woman on the motorcycle Is either the wife or sweetheart of one of their hereditary foes. Far from it When the motorcycle puffs saucily behind an autolst and Starts to pass, with the girl on the rear seat showing a row of pearls In a derisive smile, his pride Is touched. No man with an auto that can couch alone at a sneed of more than itwenty-flve miles an hour wants to see bis machine passed. Furthermore Jersey Lad Prayed at Night and Robbed by Day ATERSON. N. J. Kneeling every Ight to repeat the Lord's Prayer, aa It was "drummed" into him by his father, and committing burglary dur ing the day, sixteen-year-old Albert Vreeland has discovered that he has beea placed In the front rank of dual personalities. He pleaded guilty in court to seven of a wholesale list of robherlea rhnr?erl nvainaf him and . " was sont to fil1 for a term not t0 00 lefia than fl rr eyceed fiS venra "The champion bad boy of New Jer sey" is the title which young Vreeland earned, and every householder in this city who bits been the victim of the young burglar and his band, believes he came by It honestly. Apparently he robbed for the pure love of the game. D r ii Sings Her Favorite Ragtime Ditties at A. M. CHICAGO. It was 2 o'clock in the morning, yet the piano in the flat upstairs was still dispersing ragtime; "Come on along, come on along," it In sisted, "to Alexander's Rag Time Band," for "everybody's doing It now." The piano was not the only sleep-destroyer, a human voice was Its accom plice the voice of Mrs. Rsse Kllhane, 2951 South Union avenue. "Ye gods," soliloquized Mrs. Mary Lee, holding her hands to her ears, "how much longer will that music box stand it?" . "O Moving Man, don't take my baby grand," came the voice of the singer. A fervent prayer escaped from the flat below, a prayer that the moving man would get busy right away. A score of residents In the block would gladly b!ave paid the expenses of the trip when "I want to be, I want to be, I want to be down South In Dixie" floated through the open windows a few moments later. "O Mr. Dreamman, please let ma 4ram some more." was the next se on Washington street near Rural street when be was the victim of a 'holdup.' A customer in Hafner's poolroom gave him a S10 bill In paying for his games, and Hafner took a wal let containing $175, out of his pock et to get two fives. Two strangers were standing near by and the larger one grabbed the wallet At that moment Hafner's mother and one of his employes stepped In at the back door and as Hafner tried to detain the robbers the employe ran Into a back room and got Hafner's re volver. Ha eava Hafner the revolver Just as the robbers went out of the door, with Hafner In pursuit, as Haf ner leveled the pistol his mother cried "John!" Hafner says he bas beard that cry before, and he never in his life disobeyed his mother, so when she told him not to shoot he lowered the pistol and watched the robbers run away with bis 175. "I am not sorry I obeyed my moth er," said Hafner when the incident was recalled. "The loss of a few dol lars Is nothing when comnared with the life of a man. even a robber. I did not take up rifle and revolver shooting because of any. desire to shed the blood of man or beast" "Decoy" Is Fatal Lure C3 he has a sort of brainstorm caused by the tantalizing smile of the pretty young woman, and so he Is led to his undoing. So far, it Is estimated, about 100 autolsts have fallen Into the nicely baited trap. The motorcycle police men deny that they are carrying their girls or sweethearts along as "motor bait" H. Drew of the district attorney' office, who has charge of the eight motorcycle policemen who hunt speed ers for the county, said the other day that if the motorcycle policemen car ried fascinating young women on tho tandem seats of their machines, they were using the feminine decoys on their own initiative. He said that the women never appear in court . Mrs. Vreeland, the boy's mother, blames the father for a considerable part of the lad's trouble. "My hus band," che said, "who has been help less for the lost 11 years because of Illness, was entirely too strict with' the boy. He is a rigid church member, and I think that Herbert's mischief has been mostly due to his father's attitude toward him.' I also think that bad girls Influence him. "He bad won the hearts of several young girls, and gave one of them a diamond ring valued at $350. When I told him that the police knew that he had given the girl a ring of that value, he pulled his hair and said: " 'Great Scott! No wonder I got such, a salty dose from the Judge. I am going crazy when I do anything like that I thought t he ring was putty.'" After being sentenced young Vree land said to his folks: "Well, 111 be 79 when I get out, and the first thing I will do will be to kill two detec tives." lection, followed by a ragtime lullaby "Hear her," almost sobbed Mrs. Lee' "Singing 'Sleep, Baby, Sleep.' and she" won't let anybody else do It" ' She hastened out, and searching the streets and alleys flnniiv t, . llceman and had him accompany her "Come, hero mine." , and the policeman entered.
