MISS MARTHA ROSS TEMPLE, Nationally Juiown Cooking School Lecturer, Will Describe I the Foot Builder Arch Shoes at the Mercury Cooking School. For demonstration in the Cooking School, Miss Temple chooses three products. FIRM FOUNDATIONS i Butter, constant testing and retest ing gives it the perfection for which it is fa mous. Approved by the American Medical Association, it has won over 500 prizes. 1 Zr' We would like to inform you briefly on some of our products which will be demonstrated: BACON: When sliced bacon is heated too quickly it becomes rancid.

All bacon should be prepared on a low fire. Weiland's best bacon is 'Dry" cured, which means it contains less moisture and in the end is just as economical as the "Cheapest" bacon. SCRAPPLE: Our formula calls for less than 1 50 pounds of meal in each kettle of 800 pounds. You can see that there must be meat in it! FRANKFURTERS: Yes, the hot dog and how it is kicked around. Even though there are food inspection laws it would surprise you how the quality can be cheapened to make a low price.

Our quality is always the same: fresh beef and fresh pork, pure spices, and nothing more. PORK SAUSAGE: Buy the one pound boxes, (our "Valley Forge" brand) and you are assured of finest quality. Small, thin, links in tender (sheep) casings, that fry in about six minutes. Only the nicest pork cuts used and seasoned mildly. It is economical because it does not fry away.

LARD: There is no substitute for a real fine lard. Our open kettle rendered lard is recognized as one of the finest "pastry" lards on the market. Our lard is open kettle rendered. Open kettle rendered means just this: The fat is placed in a kettle without a lid and cooked until the fat is melted and the moisture is all driven off. If lard is not marked "open kettle rendered" then we can assure you it is "closed or steam rendered." In this case the moisture does not escape as freely and the lard is not recognized to be of the same equal quality.
