Cheap Beef For Dinner.

The popular belief that palatable re-
suits can only be evolved from choice
materials is time-honored fallacy.
Like some other ancient opinions, how
ever, it is high season that it was swept
out of the way. and that housekeepers
of moderate means understood that
dainty cookery and n limited purse are
not incompatible. Instead of burden
ing their incomes and the butchers
conscience by paying exorbita n {
amounts for so-called .'choice cuts. !"
why do they not boldly face the situa-
ton and pay lower prices for pieces of
meat which. while sold under less high
sounding titles. are frequently fac
similes of those same ''best" pieces?
In city and country alike, the standby
is beef. No matter in what shape,
roast, boiled, or steak. corned or fresh,
it probably appears on most tables at
least twice as often as any other variety
of animal food. The busy housewife,
who, with the best intentions in the
world, roasts the .'chuck rib," sold to
her tenderloin, until it is tasteless
chip, or commits the culinary sole
cism" of frying the rump steak. would
possibly sigh at the suggestion of new
modes of preparing the food, anticipat-
ing an addition to her already heavy
cares. She '.has no time for fancy
French cooking she would tell you.
Another popular fallacy is that food
cannot be made appetizing without a
tremendous outlay of time and trouble.
The few moments more of thought and
labor devoted to the leathery steak OF
tough round will produce effects far
exceeding the expenditure Only really
