MjU EAT bills are always heavy items
uW in the housewives accounts, and
it therefore pays the woman of
careful mind to study values of low
priced or economical cuts. The econ
omical cut is not necessarily the cheap
est in price, but the one from which
the greatest food value may be secured
A leg of mutton is one of the most
profitable joints for a family, and if
properly treated it does not deserve the
contempt with which it is generally re-
garded.
The idea that washing mutton is
detrimental TO it is quite erroneous; it
should not, of course, be immersed in
water and left there but for healths
sake it should be quickly and thor
oughly washed (after it has been
scraped on the outside) with cold wa
ter, in which small quantity of pow
dered boraX has been dissolved. and

tractive looking girl, as there were only
two in the family and the servant was
practically one of them. She particu-
larly emphasized the fact that the girl
was supplied with most comfortable
little bedroom, in the place of the
cubby hole usually provided for serv-
ants in fiat houses. The girl stayed in
the place one week. Why? Because
she was given that nice bedroom in or
der that she might wait upon the
womans invalid husband at night. In
fact, she was expected to combine the
duties of trained nurse and general
houSework.
DO you see that young girl in the
cerner?" She continued pointing to a
dark-haired foreigner who was fur
lively wiping her eyes. Il sent her to
place where they wanted an immi-
grant to train. They knew she was of
Jewish parentage, and the most ortho-
doX Jews at that, and the mistress
agreed to furnish her with a small set
OF cooking utensils so that she might
have the koshered food commanded by
her religious belief. AS the girl could
not speak English, / paid a boy car
fare to take her to her new place This
morning she was sent down here in the
care of messenger boy with word
that she was sickly and could not fill
the place. / found that she had not
been supplied with the promised cook
ing utensils or koshered food, and, as a
result, she had had nothing to eat but
some crackers and water for three
days. No wonder she was weak.
These are only Instances of the un-
fairness with which servants and
agents are treated. There seems to be
a. general belief among women that any
old story will do for the agent, and the
mistress will square herself with the
servant afterward, So it's no wonder
that servants and agents have grown

CUT THE WEEDS.

The following from the Colorado
Springs Gazette has very direct ap.
plicati0n to Las Vegas:
The appearance Of the residence
streets OF Colorado Springs would be
very greatly improved If each house
holder would see that the weeds be-
tween the sidewalk and gutter In
front of his property are kept cut.
As a general thing our lawns are ex-
c%eptionally well cared for, and at this
season many of them are beautified
by an abundance of flowers. But the
sidewalk weeds we have always with
us. They are conspicuously In evil
dence on every street. They grow In
rank profusion in front of some of
the finest residences, making them.
selves doubly offensive In contrast
with the neatly trimmed lawns.
That the weeds are allowed to
flourish to such an extent Is due
mostly to carelessness, and partly,
perhaps, TO an impression that 1t is
the business of the street department,
rather than of the property owner.

LAS VEGAS FAIR.

They are to hold a northern New
Mexico fair in Las Vegas in Septem.
Der. The people Of southern New
Mexico should help Las Vegas to
make that fair a success. The ties
of the northern and southern parts
of the territory should be made
stronger and more intimate. and at.
tending fairs of the kind that will be
held In Las Vegas will be conducive
to that result. In addition the New
Mexico good roads convention will be
held there, at which every county In
the territory should be we'll repre-
sented. Good roads are essential In
Luna county as well as In San Miguel
county and the discussion of the sub.

urge that as many of our citizens as
can make 1t convenient attend the
