When you have used a thing twenty
years you know pretty well what it is.
A baker writes front Sidney, Neb, that
for twenty year* lie has been using Cot
tolene in his bakery, and linds it the
best cooking fat he ever used. Me even
rtcommends its use to those who are
doing their own baking. This testi
monial is noteworthy because it is from
a man who makes baking his business
and who therefore is in position to
judge fromwlong practical use
TCottolene can be used for all shorten

crisp doughnuts, flaky biscuits and light,

HUMMING BIRDS
FOR A BANQUET
San Antonio Man Order*
Five Hundred. Birds Are
Fast Disappearing.
A man In Snn Antonio has just or
dered 60n humming birds from a
game dealer in Mexico, which are to
lie served as it course In a banquet,
states the Boston Post,
There has never been found in the
crop of a humming bird any food but
what when alive injured the farmer.
Every bird of beautiful plumage that
Is destroyed means one less mouthful
that the farmer can produce. This
winter a million robins have been
shot in the south for plumage and
food. This spelts-, agricultural mur
der In the north.
The birds of Massachusetts are
fast dying out. Like our forests,
I hoy mint he conserved. Foreigners
who have recently come to our shores
ere especially unscrupulous in slaugh
tering our bird life. The time must
soon come when drastic laws will be
enacted forhlddltig the wearing of
feathers. Our birds alive are fur
more valuable to us than their plum
age when dead Agriculture Is of
more account than ornament.
We aro coming to find out that
birds are our best citizens. They
pipe for our Joy und destroy our In
sect enemies. They stimulate our
fancy and eat our bugs.

movement. The exact date of the

back. He opened the doors of the up

was finally able to make his way
through the smoke, down the sairs.
The house was owned by Dr. \Y. H
