Practical Information on the Vslps

The prime steer used for beef purposes
weighs about 900 pounds. OF this amount
there are in the carcass two sets of first
quality ribs, consisting Of seven ribs In
each set and weighing about 40 pounds
per set There are also two loins weigh
ing about 40 pounds each. There is on an
average 175 pounds of choice beef in each
well regulated steer, but some butchers
have beeu known to sell porterhouse from
a carcass after everything was gone but
the horns. The remainder of the beaf,
after the choicest has been out away, is

as Judgment
Practical experience has shown that
the utilization OF the chucks, the best part
Of the round, the rump, flank, the plate
and brisket gives the best results and Is
conducive to better health that the higher
priced meats. Such parts need more at
tention while cooking however, yet the
from them more than repay for all extra
trouble. The average housewife may not
know It,, but nevertheless it is fact that
butchers who are daily and hourly han
ding all kinds Of cuts of beef almost in
variably choose for their own consumption
flank steak. They say 1t is more savory
and just as tender as tenderloin, which cut
the butcher seldom eats. The flank steak
is situated between the inside and outside
layers OF creamy colored fat in the flank,
and when taken from well fed stock is ex-
cellent. 1t costs at the market but half as
much as porterhOuse or sirloin.
An old butcher once told me that the
best piece of meat in the bullock for max
ing dish OF boiled beef is the close
grained top piece over the shoulder blade.
Meat adherlng to the ribs makes much
more satisfactory steak than the 80 called
sirloln, and costs but little. This piece
may be larded and served as is fllet de beuf
1t Is also quite acceptable as mignon
steak. Omaha World-Herlld.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING lHE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For The
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the Ameri-
cans, are certainly increasing aud while this
may he largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, it is more
often the result of weak stomachs, of poor
digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable but not
one case in hundred of heart trouble is or
ganic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs are
controlled by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is affected
by the form of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half digested
food There is feeling of oppression and
heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of
the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart trou-
BILE is to improve the digestion and to insure
the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements in a pleasant,
convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular persistent
use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at meal
time will cure any form of stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets sold by
druggists at so cents. Little book on stom.

IT is quite true that there is such a
taing as too much government, and
paternalism may be utilized to an in
furious extent. The best safeguard Of
the Republic is the intelligent and
self-respecting citizen, who obeys the
law and sets a good example to his
neighbor 1t is a lamentable fact,
however, that there seems to be a
fearful lack of the sense of parental
responsibility in many parts of the
country. The enactment of compul-
sorry education laws has been a sad
necessity, and this step has been sup
plemented by legal regulations for
the control of that part of the rising
generation which is perilously ne
elected. In many towns and cities the
streets are constantly overrun, even
after nightfall, by great numbers of
boys and girls, who thus acquire bad
habits, and many of whom are led
into vicions ways by evil-minded as
sociates, themselves corrupted by
contamination with the lowest ele-
ments OF society.

What Prosperity Means.

Figures tell the story of American
prosperity impressively, and few OF
these we give in concrete form foi
ready assimilation. During 1893 our
cotton crop was the largest on record,
and the wheat crop was the largest
excepting that of 1891. Our produc-
tion of coal, copper iron ore and gold
was the largest ever reported in the
United States in single year, and OF
silver the largest except that of the
year 1892. We bought less goods and
material from foreign countries last
year than we have bought in any
year in twenty years excepting 1885.
Our imports last year we're 800, 0O0,-
900 less than during the preceding
year. Here are a few other facts of
interest boiled down
The sales of stocks on the New
York Stock Exchange for 1898 were
the heaviest on record, excepting
those of 1881 and 1882. The sales of
bonds during 1898 were the heaviest
recorded on the Exchange
The aggregate bank clesrings of
1898 were the highest on record.
The railroad earnings of the
country in 1898 were larger than eveI
before reported in single year.
Fily volume OF our trade and indus
tries was the largest on record.
The average liabilities from failure
in the country were smaller than il
any other year during the pas
quarter of century.
The imports of gold surpassed al
records, and aggregated about $40,
600, 600.
The exports of cotton were Owe
1900, 600 bales, as against the highes
previous report of about 1000, OOC
bales.
The exports of breadstuffs were
nearly $500, 900, 600 in value, the larg
est ever reported
The output of pig iron in the
United States for the year was never
equaled, and aggregated nearly 12,
900, 600 tons.
The merchandise exports showed
an excess in value over imports o
S821 ,OO0, 900, an unprecedented total

Clearing House reached the recorC

OFFICER RETIRED, THEN PROMOTED
Physically UNIT For Service, Butwent
Through the Cuban Campnign.


Washington, Feb. 24-The records of
the war department show an interesting
story in connection with the nomination
made by the president OF an officer on the
retired list of the army, Robert DOwdy,
to be a captain in active service. At the
outbreak of the Spanish war Dowdy
was a lieutenant in the Seventeenth in
fantry. As the troops were lying at
Tampa waiting to embark he took his
examination for promotion as "A captain,
but was found to be physically unfit.
The recommendation of the board that
he be retired was forwarded to Wash
ington.
Meantime the Seventeenth went to
Cuba and Dowdy went along. He was in
the thick of the fighting everywhere,
suffered every exposure and hardship and
went through the whole campaign with
out losing day from illness. Just as the
troops returned in victory to the United
States the papers came back from Wash
ington retiring Dowdy from service.
Upon looking into the case the president
was satisfied that this was particular
hardship and that the man who was
strong enough to render such service as
Dowdy had was good to retain in ac-
tive service, hence the nomination.
