THE GENTLE LAMB,

HIS Expensivcness and His Short Ribs
Practically Discussed.
From the New York Evening Post
Spring lamb Is in season now: the win
ter lamb is merging into mutton, and gets
heavy as spring comes on. The spring
lamb is just in prime condition, neither too
young nor too old. too fat nor too lean
and tasting as it is not likely to at any
other time of the year. Marketgoers
count themselves lucky IL they secure
choice cut. The delicacy is dear,
though. A January lamb, nurtured ten
derly throughout the inclement weather in
order to get to the spring market early,
"a hot-house raised lamb" In market par
lance, commands So or 1925 for the hind
quarter. and 81 % or $3.50 for the fore
quarter. Ordinary country lambs, which
have not put anybody to unusual trouble
in raising them, can be bought for 81 30
and H.15 for the fore and hind quarter
The meat that adheres to the ribs is the
sweetest meat on the lamb; next comes
the saddle roast.
Lovers of spring lamb who are agreed
as to its benefits and who realize that each
lamb can have but one very choice quar-
ter. have devised clever plan by which
they can share this expensive delicacy and
likewise be Independent of the butcher

genlous arrangement permits all parties
concerned to eat high-priced spring lamb

commend the plan. but admits it's prac-
tfcality. Spring lamb heads the list of
comestfbles just now, and divides favor

When a man wakes up at night with the
idea that he is falling down, down, down
from a great height-when he imagines in
his sleep that he has lost his breath and
can't catch it again-when he tosses and
tumbles all night and can't sleep-when
his mouth tastes bad in the morning and
food is repugnant-death is his bedfellow.
These troubles may be triHes in themselves,
but they are the skirmishers and sharp
shooters that march in advance of the great
army of death dealing diseases.
When man experiences these sensations
and feels generally out of sorts, there is but
one safe thing to do. That is, resort to the
right remedy. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med.
