How to Select and Bake Meat
Remedies for Burns.


Those who have ever been so fortunate
as to possess plated. silver vegetable dishes
or a soup tureen would never willingly
use those Of china. Not only do the silver
vessels keep their contents hot. but they
are not breakable. and dent may be
remedied at a snail cost. They are not
hard to keep clean. A plunge into clean
scaiding water and quick wiping after
ward whenever they have been used. with
an occasional rubbing with a piece OF
flannel or eham0is skins viii generally
keep them bright.
Selecting Meat and Poultry.
There is another requisite for a first
class marketer. and that Is to be able 70
distinguish between tough and tender
meats. Now, there Is nothing so deeeiv-
ing as meat, and too much care cannot be
used IN making selection. 1t is the
same with roast as with steak in max
ing selection. The meat should be
bright red and the grain OF 1t should be
fine
In buying steak it is the rule Of good
caterers to insist upon having it cut thick,
for nothing Is so unpa1asable as a thin
beefstenk- Tough poultry is another one
of the things a good housewife should
avoid, for there IS nothing that will yex a

The Proper Way to Bake Meat
The most perfectly baked meats are
cooked as follows: Heat the baking pan
on the top of the store until smoking hot:
lay the roast on it and let the cut surface
scar and slightly brown; turn, and scar
and brown the other side also. Put In a
hot oven and haste only with its own
gravy. Salt toughens the meat and has a
tendency TO extract the juices, and should
not be added until just before the meat is
done If the temperature of the oven is
just right, when tue oven door is opened
gentle simmering and spuEtering
will 90 on, if IL is too
hot the dripplngs will burn aud the
oven will be filled with smoke An
even, steady heat must be maintained TO
bake piece of meat properly. The best
ribs OF beef are the third and fourth for
roast from seven TO nine pounds, and the
third, fourth and fifth for larger roast
Never have tne bone taken out and the
meat rolled: the mest losses in sweet
ness. Let your butcher saw across the
under part OF the ribs in one or two
places, so that after the meat has been
scared on the cut sides it can stand in the
pan, with the rim of fat upward. The
soaring process haTdens the outside and
ttus retains the Jujces.-4Htertedn Agrf-

Remedies for Burns.
It is essential in case OF burn to ex-
clude the air, especially il the skin is
broken. A paste made OF SCOT. common
baking soda. or even flour. Is valuable in
case there is an abrasion of the skin. In
case the skin Is broken the white of an
egg is about as valuable as anything
likely to be at hand. Wrap up the in
jured part in soft linen cloth, such as
should always be kept in u roll in the
kitchen drawer, where 1t will be con-
yenient in case of accident. A bottle, in
which there are equal parts of lime water
and sweet oil, stirred or shaken to a
cream, ought also TO be kept in readiness
to wet the linen bandage.-HeTutd Of

Make the Tea Table Attractive
No domestic sight is pieasanter in Its
way than a tea table on cold winter
night, spread with bright clotn and set
out with dainty china and shining silver,
and with all the cheer inspiring appurten-
ances of the tea tray, with the plate of
hot bread, the savory dish OF hos meat.
and the little relishes that the housekeep-
ers know well how 70 supply. And In
summer its counterpart is seen in the
table laid in the room frightened by the
OF white and brown bread, and plate of
rusk or tea biscuit, pitchers of milk, and
a dish Of berries with cream galore revive
the fainting appetites and spirits of those
