A PROBATE BUREAU
PROPOSED BY RUFF
WILL ASK THE LEGISL LATURE
TO PASS A BILL.
City Would Derive a Great Income
and Estates Would Be Protected
From Embezzlement by
Executors.

During the next session of the Legis-
lature bill will be presented having as
its object the establishment in this city
and county of an Office known as Probate
Bureau. \. Ruef, attorney for the Public
Administrator. stated yesterday to Judge
Cof1ey that he would frame the bill and
see that 1t was presented for enactment
A vast amount of criticism has been oc-
casioned Of late through overcharges and
alleged overcharges on the part OF attor-
neys representing estates in probate and
Mr.. Ruef is of the opinion that the es-
tablishment Of the office would place mat
ters on more even footing. The bureau
would be established for the purpose of
handling all estates, to the exclusion OF
appointed executors or administrators
and in addition to being a great source of
profit to the city would be a protection to
heirs and prevent losses in the future such
as have resulted through the embezzle-
ment of estate funds.
Judge. Coffey said that the scheme pro-
posed would have been included in the
charter but for the opposition of a certain
local attorney. whose greed for gold ex-
ceeded his interest in the welfare OF the
people.

SELECTION OF MEAT.
Cuts of Beef That Are Known a.
Prime and Otherwise. and Their
Peculiar Values.

The prime steer used for beef pur-
poses weighs about 700 pounds DRESSED.
or this amount there are in the carcass
two sets of first quality ribs, consist
ing Of seven ribs in each set and weigh
ing about 40 pounds per set. There are
also two loins weighing about 40
pounds each. There is, on an average
l75 pounds of choice beef in each we'll
regulated steer, but some butchers
have been known to sell porterhouse
from a carcass after everything was
gone bat the horns. The remainder Of
the beef, after the choicest has been cut
away, is called the "misnomer," from
the fact that it sells at lower price.
A large percentage of the most nutri-
tious meat is found in the coarser cuts,
but nearly everyone demants part OF
the 175 pounds, which is a false idea OF
domestic economy as well as judgment.
Practical experience has shown that
the utilization of the chucks, the best
part of the round, the chump, flank, the
plate, and brisket gives the best re-
suits and is conducive of better health
than the higher-priced meats. Such
parts need more attention while cook
ing, however, yet the many tempting
dishes that may be made 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
handling all kinds Of cuts of beef al
most invariably choose for their own
consumption flank steak. They say it
is more savory and just as tender as
the tenderloin, which cut the butcher
seldom eats. The flank steak is stu
ated between the inside and outside
layers of the creamy-colored fat in the
flank, and when taken from well-fed
stock is excellent. 1t costs at the mar
ket but half as much as porterhouse or
sirloin.
An old butcher once told me that the
best piece of meat in the bullock for
making dish of boiled beef is the
close-grained top piece over the shoul-
der blade.
Meat adhering to the ribs makes
much more satisfactory steak than the
so-called sirloin and costs but little.
This piece may be larded and served as
is filet de boucf. 1t is also quite accept
able as Mignon steak. = Chicago Inter
