HOUCE COMMITTEE DRAFTS ANTI TRUST MEASURE. ITS PROVISIONS SWEEPING Trade Relations and Prices, and Damage Suits by Individuals, All Being Considered. Washington.—A general outline of the tentative draft of anti-trust legs lation prepared by majority members af the house committee on the juaici try for action by the full committee, subject to a conference with Presi | dent Wilson, has been made known. I The proposed bill wHl be discussed . it a conference between the president ] and the committee.

Number of Bills. In every case. President Wilson's ‘ :dea of providing penalties for in i iividuals as well as for corporations. in case of violations has been been ! followed.

An attempt to define com binations and conspiracies in re I straint of trade as far as possible has ■ been made in the bills already pre pared. 1 The bill to inhibit interlocking di I rectorates is regarded by the com •nittee members as the most import ant of the three.

VALUABLE FOOD BEING WASTED Good Suet Thrown Away or Used For Soap Which Could be Rendered and Used In Cooking. Washington. D C.—Reports from some of the food specialists of the De partment of Agriculture indicate that in certain sections there is a serious waste of valuable food, due to the fact that many housewives do not appre ciate the value of suet in Cooking and do not know how to use it- As a re sult many throw good food suet into the garbage pail, or else in rare cases use it with meat trimmings for soap making. Many are unaware that suet possesses the same food value as lard, and if properly tried out is a satis factory subsume for frying purposes, for shortening, and in making savory fats. Apparently some of the cook books have misled the American housewife by stating that suet is good only for soap making. In Europe, however, \ s food is carefully kept and renderti. and in Germany, suet and lard are used interchangeably for frying and shortening. Suet is the hard fat about the kid neys and loins in beef and mutton which corresponds to the fat of hogs from which leaf lard is made Those who do not know how to render it object to the hardness of suet and to its special flavor. Fresh suet, how ever, can be so rendered as to make a soft, usable fat, practically free from any distinctive flavor ot odor. The following is the simplest method for trying out suet: ’•Remove the skin and lean parts from beef fats, and cut it into small pieces. Put it into a saucepan and cover it with cold water. Place it on the stove uncovered, so that the steam may carry off any disagreeable flavor. \Vh*n the water has nearly all evap orated, set the kettle back and let the fat slowly ’try out.’ When the fat has ceased bubbling and the scraps ot skin are shriveled, allow the scraps to settle at the bottom of the kettle, strain the fat through a cloth and set it away to cool.” This fat is so valuable in cooking that housewives will do well to save all suet from their meat and try it out. r or thoee wno want a mixture oi suet and leaf lard the following recipe will be found useful: “Take two parts of suet and one of leaf lard, finely ground, and mix to gether. Render this with whole milk in the proportion of one-half pint milk to two pounds of the mixed suet and lard. (Render means to melt down or to clarify by melting.) The suet and lard mixture may be finely divided by passing it through a meat grinder, and may then be heated in a double boiler, when the fat will be quickly relf ased from the tissues, and when al'owed to cool will form a cake on the surface of the liquid which may be easily removed." This fat has a good odor, color and texture, and is softer than the suet alone. It is useful for frying and the shortening of foods with high flavors and may be used with fair results in shortening such things as baking pow- j der biscuits. It is useful for cooking j vegetables either alone or with the j addition of a little butter. Do Not Let Fat Burn in Cooking. The upopukirity of fried food in ’ many families is due entirely to the . fact that the fat has been burned in cooking. Pat when heated to too | high a temperature splits up and may cause digestive disturbances. Pat in itself is a very valuable food .and it it is not scorched should prove a healthful rather than an objectionable, article of diet. A slightly burned taste and similar objectionable flavors can often be removed from fat by put ting into it thick slices of raw potato and beating it gradually. When the tat ceases to bubble and the potatoes are brown, the fat should be strained off through a cloth placed in a wire strainer.—U. S. Pept of Agriculture Bulletin.
