that the top can then be browned. Turn
out on a dish, sprinkle with fine sugar,
squeeze a little lemon or orange juice over,
roll over, and serve at once, as pancakes
should be eaten as soon after frying as
possible.
Note.—Nothing can equal Block ATORA
for frying pancakes; they will not stick to
the pan, and the ATORA will add to the
delicate flavour of the batter.
e
Frying
Put some Block ATORA into a saucepan
or fish fryer, and let it boil; when it boils
it will be quite still, and there will be a dis-
tinct blue smoke rising from it; until you
see this smoke do not attempt to fry anything
that is covered with egg and breadcrumbs,
or you will not be successful. The great
heat of the fat when quite at boiling point
hardens the egg on the outside of the article
to be fried, thus forming a case, which
prevents the fat from getting inside the
article; if, on the other hand, you put fish,
meat, etc., into fat which is not boiling,
it tastes very greasy and is quite sodden,
instead of being crisp and dry.
There should always be sufficient fat to
cover whatever you are frying. It will
last for many weeks if you are careful
not to burn it.
The fat, if in constant use, should be strained
two or three times a week.

MEDICAL
EVIDENCE
Dr. W. B. Vaile, M.R.C.S., Medical Officer in
charge of. a Sanatorium, gives some striking
testimony to the value of Beef Suet in a paper
contributed to The Lancet.
“ For six years in every home where I have
had a case of pulmonary tuberculosis (con-
sumption) I have strongly advised the mother
to insist upon everyone eating fat, and to give
them liberal and frequent suet. I have no
failures to record. In no home where this has
been done have any further cases been brought
to my notice.”
Dr. Saleeby (Chairman of the National Birth
Rate Commission) writes in similar strain :
“The young human being requires a con-
tinous supply of this substance (the Vitamin A
in Beef Suet) for normal development from its
real beginning nine months before birth until
the 18th year. . . . But further we learn that
this Fat Soluble A helps to protect the body
against infection, very notably by tubercu-
losis.” (Fat Soluble A is the A Vitamin.)
Note the remark ‘‘ nine months before birth.”
In other words, ‘‘ ATORA”’ is as essential to
the mother as to the child. It should be in-
cluded regularly in the diet, in dumplings and
puddings, and also taken directly in milk, milk
puddings, and porridge.
