Out of the Frying Pan
The charge that fried food is indi- j
gesrible and therefore harmful is true'
only when articles are improperly fried. \
■Rightly done frying is no more harm
ful than any other mode of cookery:;
Indeed it is more wholesome because
food that is full of flavor and crisp aud 1
rich pleases the eye and the palate, aud
this we all know is a big step toward
good digestion.
The trouble is that too many cooks
think thoy arc frying food when they
cook in a skillet with a tablespoon or
two of fat. This is not frying, but J
browning or sauteing. It is useful
when preparing vegetables for stews,
for the preliminary step toward a
fricasee, and other similar things, but
it is not true frying.
To fry means to immerse every part
of the food in deep fat that is hot
enough to cook from the moment the
food is put in. If the temperature is
right, the hot fat immediately forms
an impenetrable coat that browns with
the process of cooking, but through
which the hot fat cannot seep.
To fry you must provide yourself
with a wire basket and an iron kettle
in which the basket will fit and suffi
cient frying material to cover what
evpr you intend to cook.
Good country lard is hard to im
prove upon when it comes to selecting
a frying medium, but city dwellers find
that most of the lard proves to be a
compound or a mixture of various fats

Gould Gets Verdict Against Heinz
&il Aasoniated Presn.
New York, Oct. 15.—A verdict in
favor of Kdwin Gould in tiis suit
against F. Augustus Heinz for the re
covery of $1,200,000, a part of the
purchase price of stock fti the Mercan
tile National Bank with interest thore
on, was returned by a jury in the Unit
ed States District Court here yester
day. While the jury was out Justice
Page sent instructions it must bring in
a verdict for the whole amount or
nothing.
- when the label is carefully read. Some
, • compounds are very good for all pur
poses that you would use lard or eook
' ing oils for, but even the best vary in
quality. Therefore use one of the
American cooking oils—there are doz
'| ens of them that are splendid—or buy
pork lard from some honest farmer who
■ never heard of sterine, or any kindred
'; substitutes.
As the frying fat may be used agaiu
1 and again this method of cookery is not
expensive. After frying in it strain
the fat and return it to the frying ket
| tie, cover and keep it in a cool place.
', For dough mixtures test the fat with
> a crusty bit of bread. When it will
1 brown in 40 seconds the temperature is
right. But for croquettes and foods
; that have had previous cooking, and
need only to be browned on the outside
and made hot through, you must have
*j the fat much hotter. However the lard
' or oil must never be allowed to suioke.
I else a strong greasy flavor will attach
II itself to the fried food and the cooking
i ! will proceed too fast.
Put the articles to be fried in the
wire basket and lower it gently into
': the fat. If you have to turn the cro
■! quettes or crullers over use a dull
" 1 pointed fork and try not to pierce
| them.
When an unmistakable doneness
: I shows itself in the color of the food lift
I the basket out and drain the contents
l 1 on soft paper or cloth before serving.

CHAPTER I.
I Plan a Voyage.
Y the heque3t of an elder broth
er I was left enough money to
«ee me through a small col
—_J lege in Ohio and to secure me
; four years in a medical school ill the
! east. Why I chose medicine 1 hardly
j know. Possibly lhe career of a sur-
J geon attracted the adventurous element
!in me. Perhaps, coming of a family of
I doctors. I merely followed the line of
j least resistance. It may l>e. indirectly
but inevitably, tint I might lie on the
I yacht F.ill on that terrible night of
Aug. 12. more than a year ago
Commencement left me with a diplo i
ma. a new dre*s *uii. an out of date ,
medical library. a box of surgical in
struincuts of the same date as the
books and an incipient ca.n- of typhoid
ferer.
i I was twenty-four, six feet tall ami j
I forty inches around the 'hest. Also,
il had lived clean and worked and
j played hard. 1 got over the fever final- I
j ly. pretty much all bone and appetite. |
j but—alive. Thanks to the college, my
! hospital care had cost uothing. It was
j a good thing. I had just ST iu the
j world.
j The yacht Ella lay in the river not
I far from my hospital windows. She
was not a yacht when I lirst saw her,
| nor at any time, technically, unless I
use the word in the broad sense of a
| pleasure boat. She was a two master
! and. when I saw her first, as dirt.v'and
I disreputable as are most coasting ves
sels. Her rejuvenation was the history
of ray convalescence. On the day she
stood forth in her first coat of white
paint I exchanged my dressing gown
for clothing that, however loosely it
hung, was still clothing. Her new
I sails marked my promotion to beef
steak, her brass rails and awnings my
first independent excursion tip mid
| down the corridor outside my door,
and. incidentally, my return to a collar
and tie.
| The next day. f think it was. tlie
deck furniture was put out on the Ella
' —numbers of white wicker chairs and
tables, with bright cushions to match
j the awnings. 1 bad a pair of ancient
opera glasses, as obsolete as my am-
I putating knives and. like them, a part
of my heritage. By that time I felt
a proprietary interest in the Ella and
through my glasses, carefully focused
with a pair of scissors, watched the
nrrangement of the deck furnishings
A girl was directing the men. 1
judged from the poise with which she
i carried herself that she was attractive
—and knew it. How beautiful she was
and how well she knew it I was to find
out before lone McWhirter to the
i contrary, she had nothing to do with
my decision to sign as a sailor on the
Ella.
One of the bright spots of tbat ioug
hot summer was McWhirter. We had
graduated together in .Tune, and in
October he was to enter a hospital in
' BuCfalo as a resident. But he was as
Indigent as 1. and from June to Octo
j ber is four months.
"Four months." he said to me. "Even
at two meals a day. boy. that's some
thing over '.MO. And 1 can eat four
times a day without a struggle
| Wouldn't you think one of these over
worked-for the-good-of-hnmanity dubs
would take a vacation and give me a
chance to hold down his practice?"
Nothing of the sort developing, Mc-
Whirter went into a drug store and
managed to pull through the summer
with unimpaired cheerfulness, confid
ing to me that he secured his lunch
eons free at the soda counter.
McWhirter it was who got me m.v
berth on the Ella, it must have been
about the 'JOth of July, for the Ella
sailed on the 28th. I was strong enough
j to leave the hospital, but not yet pbysi
| cally able for any prolonged exertion.
McWhirter. who was short and stout
had been alternately flirting with the
nurse as she moved in and out prepar
ing my room for the night and sizing
me up through narrowed eyes.
"No." be said, evidently following a
private line of thought, "you don't be
| long behind a counter, I.eslie. I'm
j darned if I think you belong in the
medical profession, either. The British
army'd suit you."
"The—what?"
"You know Kipling Idea —riding
| horseback, head of n column—undress
j uniform—colonel's wife making eyes at
| you—leading last hopes and all that."
j "The British artn.v with Kipling i
trimmlncrs being out of the question. I
the original issue is still before us. |
I'll have to work, Mac. and work like |
the devil, if I'm to feed myself."
There being no answer to tills. Me-
Whirter contented himself with eying
I me.
'l'm thinking," 1 said, "of going to
1 Europe. The sea is calling me, Mac."
I "So was the grave a month ago, but
It didn't get yon. Don't be an ass.
: boy. How are you going to sea?"
"Before the mast." This apparently
' conveying no moaning to McWbirter.
I supplemented "as a common sailor."
j He was indignant at tirst. offering
I me his room and a part of his small
I «alary until 1 got my strength. Then
he became dubious, and. finally, so
well did I paint my picture of long.
| idle days on the ocean, of sweet, cool
I nights under the stars, with breezes
1 that purred through the sails, rocking
the ship to slumber—finally he waxed
enthusiastic and was even for giving
up the pharmacy at once and sailing
with me.
He had been fitting out the store
room of a sailing yacht with drugs, he
informed rue. and doing it under the
persona! direction of the owner's wife.
' "I've iniule a hit with her." lie con
tided. "Since she's learned I'm a grad
uate M. D. she's letting me do the
whole thing. I've made up some lo
; tions to prevent sunburn and that sea
«ick prescription of old Larimer's, and
J she thinks I'm the whole cheese. I'll
: tuggest you as ship's doctor."
| "How many men in the crew?"
| "Eight. I think, or ten. It's a small
boat and carries a small crew."
"Then they don't want a ship's doc
| tor. If I go I'll go as a sailor." 1 said
I firmly. "And I want your word. Mac.
' not a word about me. except that I am
; honest"
"You'll have to wash decks proba
bly."
j "I am filled with a wild longing to
wash decks." I asserted, smiling at his
disturbed face. "I should probably
also have to polish brass. There's a
great deal of brass on the boat.' 1
i "How do you know that?"
When I told him he was much ex
cited. and. although it was dark and
the Ella consisted of throe lights, he
Insisted on the opera glasses and was
persuaded he saw her. Finally he put
I down the glasses and came oyer to me.
"Perhaps you are right. Ijeslie." he
| said soberly. "Yon don't waut charity
any more than they want a ship's doc
tor. Wherever you go and whatever
; you do, whether you're swabbing decks
in your bare feet or polishing brass
| railings with an old sock, you're a
I man."
j Soon after that he took his departure,
and the following day he telephoned
i to say that if the sea was still calling
me he could get a note to the captain
recommending me. I asked him to get
the note.
Good old Mac! The sea was calling
me. true enough, but only dire necessity
j was driving me to ship before the mast
—necessity and perhaps what, for
want of a better name, we cnll destiny,
for what is fate but inevitable law, in
j evitable consequence.

NEW CUMBERLAND
Accident Occurs to Engine of Baltimore
Accommodation Train
Special <?orresponrienc-e.
New Cumberland, Oct. 15.—What
might have been a very serious wreck
occurred here last evening when the
driving axle of he Baltimore accommo

left the depot anil had gone about 200
yards when the accident occurred. The
large wheel of the engine was broken
off anil the truck badly splintered.
George Yeagy was the engineer. There
were three passenger coaches and a bag
gage car. The train is due here at
