the marts of men where all sorts and con-
ditions congregate to do business and, in
cidenta.Iy, to do his fellow man or wom-
an. il possible, I have demonstrated to
my own satisfaction not once. but many
times, that the honest tradesman, most
especially the dealer In meats. viii bear
watching.
I have found the grocer more conscien-
tious than the butcher. The latter, it
seems, lays aside his conscience when he
goes to weigh meat.
If you are interested at all in finding
out how much you have paid for that
which you have not had, invest a small
amount in a reliable kitchen scale, and
have your cook weigh every article Of
consumption carefully, and at the end OF
the month you will. no doubt, find a diff
ference In the bills.
The majority of women know next to
nothing about ordering or marketing.
They are at the mercy OF the people whom
they patronize. The average woman does
all that she is capable of doing when she
orders a roast OF beef" a steak
schops.,' or Outlets" She ds blissfully
ignorant that there are several varieties
of these cuts and that they differ greatly
in price.
There are chuck, rib and loin roasts,
the latter the highest priced, and cup
posed to be the best in the beef. With
steaks the chuck is cheapest, the round
next, the loin, and then the porter house,
the most toothsonle and expensive of
steaks. 4

Many housekeepers do their marketing
through boys who come for orders. This
is a very good method when the trading
IS done with a Conscientious, fair-minded
dealer. and where the purse string is long
and loose.
But butchers will do better if aware
that the customer knows what she wants
and its market value, whether she sends
her order or comes marketing in person.
Skilful marketing reduces the prices Of
the best cuts of meat remarkably.
TIL butcher viii tell you ten cents un-
trimmed, or twelve to eighteen cents
trimmed.v It were more, economical to
buy meat untrimmed, for THE trimmings
can all be put to use and you have the
roast, stew or steak for a less price.
Besides. where there is, a large family
the buying of a large untrimmed piece
of meat ds more economical, as the fat or
suet fried and saved answers very nicely
for shortening very many dishes.
For instance, the crusts OF meat or
fruit pie the more fiaky and delicate If a
little beef fat is combined with butter, as
Is the crusfs of dumpliugs either baked
or boiled.
1t ds a good thing for the h-ousekeeper
to know that the foreshin or hook is good
for soup; that the owe part of round,
the brisket and chuck" make good stew;
that the rump, round and loin are good
for steak; the rnmp, upper part Of round,
ribs and loln are the reasts, and the neck,
brisket, thick hank and boneless flank
are the best for corning.
