Preface.
The committee appointed by Trinity Parish Guild, for
the purpose of compiling this cook book, present it to the
public with the earnest wish that it may be of practical
use in many households. The recipes have been gathered
from different sources, and it is believed that they are all
reliable and practical. It is not claimed that this book is
an exhaustive compilation of recipes for cooking; but it
contains many suggestions which will be acceptable as a
supplement to other cook books; and it will add to the
knowledge already possessed by many who are experienced
cooks.
We are pleased in this place to thank those who have
taken space in this book for advertisements, for their
prompt responses to letters and liberal orders. We take
great pleasure in calling attention to the materials and
goods mentioned in this volume. Their use will add to the
success and value of the Fredonia Cook Book.

RECIPES.
In many of the following recipes, COTTOIvENE is used
for shortening and frying. COTTOLENE is made of 80
per cent, tripple refined Cottonseed Oil and 20 per cent.
of choice beef suet, assuring users the purest possible
shortening and frying fat, palatable and digestible. It can
be used for many purposes in the place of butter and when
it is impossible to use lard.
For the benefit of the uninitiated, we give the following
directions for using this delectable product :
In using COTTOLENE for shortening, all rules for lard
or butter hold good, except in quantity — one-third less of
COTTOEENE being required. This must be strictly
observed, or the food will be too rich.
In frying, use the same amount of COTTOEENE as you
would of lard, but care must be exercised in heating.
Always put it on in a cold vessel— COTTOEENE heats
without sputtering or smoking and quicker than lard, with
the same heat. Never allow it to smoke, as it is then
burning, COTTOLENE should be tested according to the
nature of the food to be fried, viz. : for croquettes, fish-balls,
oysters, etc., drop a small piece of bread in the hot fat. If
it browns quickly on coming to the top, the fat is hot
enough. Doughnuts, potatoes, fritters, etc., require slightly
lower temperature, as they must be cooked through wliile
browning. Test the fat for these bj' dropping in a piece of
dough. If it rises to the top and browns in one minute, the
fat is hot enough.

MAN
t^
intelligent, strong and healthy.
rs there anything more whole-
some, more beautiful, more
completely pleasing than a
womanly woman ? Such a
woman is even tempered,
Health really tells the whole story.
Health means strong nerves and strong body, and they go far toward
bringing good looks and amiability.
A woman worn and wearied by the dragging weaknesses peculiar to
her sex, cannot be expected to find zest in any duty or amusement. I,ife
is all one dead monotonous gloom to her. On her face is written the
story of weakness and pain. The wholesomeness of health is lacking.
The cheeks lack fullness, the eyes lack sparkle, the hair lacks luster.
Doctors have learned to locate nine-tenths of womanly sickness in
the organs that ought above all others to be strong and healthy.
Sensitive women shudder at the thought of consulting a physician
on such matters. A natural feeling of modesty makes them dread
the examination, and subsequent stereotyped treatment by "local appli-
cations ' ' on which most doctors insist.
Much more often than not, this is unnecessary. It should not be
submitted to except as a last resort.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has cured thousands of severe cases
of " female weakness." It works in a natural, sensible way. It begins
by subduing the inflammation that is always present. Then it strength-
ens and invigorates the whole body, particularly the organs distinctly
feminine. It promotes regularity, cures inflammation and ulceration,
and stops the debilitating drain caused by them.

Baron von Liebig-, one of the best known writers on dietetics, says :—
"It [Cocoa] is a perfect food, as wholesome as delicious, a beneficent re-
storer of exhausted power; but its quality must be good, and it must be
carefully prepared. It is highly nourishing and easily digested, and i3
fitted to repair wasted strength, preserve health, and prolonjc life. It
agrees with dry temperaments and convalescents; with mothers who
nurse their children ; with those whose occupations oblige them to
undergo severe mental strains ; with public speakers and with all those
who give to work a portion of the time needed for sleep. It soothcH both
stomach and brain, and for this reason, as well as for others, it is the best
friend of those engaged in literary pursuits."
