ing aud satisfying that you will not feel
the need Of any other food for dinner.
At any reliable meat market for 10 cents
you can get a rich little piece Of beef 10
stew, then add vegetables cut in dice,
carrot, celery, beet, turnips, potatoes,
(onions, il you like, a handful OF barley,
plenty Of salt and pepper; stew all the
afternoon.
Observation-Disclosures: BY saving
out a small piece Of the beef from yester.
days stew, before the vegetables are
added, you have meat for hash for
breakfast, which is far better than corned
beef. and if you would prepare it in real
Delmonico style serve tho hash on hot
buttered toast, with a poached egg on
the center OF each slice Of toast. Lunch:
Crackers and sardines, buns, and tea.
Dinner: A small sirloin Of beefsteak

equal parts, rubbing smooth with a
spoon, adding salt, q pinch Of sugar, and
a beaten egg, and only enough flour to
keep from sticking to the griddle. They
are deliciously tender. Lunch: I saved
