While those blue print warriors are drawing plans
showing how any old nation can land a half million or
more troops on our shores in a couple of weeks, they en
tirely ignore the fact that we have a navy about equal to
any except England's. They assume that we would be
doing nothing all the time and just waiting for the
foreigners who ever they were to get through. These
same fellows were nearly scared into a duck fit when the
old Oregon made the trip around the Horn, lest some
Spanish fishing smack should run across her and send
her to the bottom. Yet when the test came, the good old
ship showed she was able to have whipped the whole
Spanish navy as a breakfast job. Preparedness is all

Until Cottolene was offered, people thought and
rightly that most fried foods were greasy, indigest
ible and unhealthful. But Cottolene was quickly
found to be a frying aid which actually made foods
better tasting and better to eat
None of the good flavor of the food is allowed to
escape; the cooking process is rightly finished and
the digestibility of the food is retained along with
tempting taste.
It is this natural quality of Cottolene which also makes it so
superior for pies, pastry, biscuits, cakes and all shortened foods.
