WHEN CHOOSING MEAT.
Beef Should Have the Lean Red and
Firm and the Fat White
and Firm.

For the housewife who goes to mar
ket herself instead of ordering. the latter
habit strongly to be deprecated as be-
ing both wasteful and extravagant. few
points on choosing meat will not be out
of place.
First. note that the butcher will in
variably try to sell you what he wants
to get rid of, and not what you want
to buy, and you must be very firm on
this point. or you will frequently find
yourself at a great disadvantage.
In selecting beef for roests or steaks,
see that the lean is firm and red, and
that the meat is finely grained.
The fat should be firm and white;
never accept any meat which looks
flabby or discolored or on which the fat
is yellow.
In choosing mutton, the meat should
be dark, with plenty of fat in 1t. Meat
without fat shows poorly fed stock. II
the fat is yellow and the meat seems
wet or moist do not accept 1t. AS a
general rule all meat should be firm,
never flabby.
Lamb and veal should both be light
colored, pale veal in fact cannot be too
white.
II 1t is at all red. 1t shows that the
calf Is old and has not been well-blood-
ed, and the meat will be tough and
stringy when eaten.
In selecting joints take those that are
short and thick. chunky looking. The
same rule applies to pork. Notice that
the bones are small, then you can be
sure you are getting young meat.
Liver is thing which should only be
eaten when 1t is perfectly fresh. 1t
should be firm and the blood running,
not coagulated. or 1t is stale and not fit
for food.-Philadelphi Press.

Scheme on Foot to Establish Gre at
 Sporting Resort.

Huntsville, March 5.-(Special)-A mile race track, fair grounds and a paddock suitable for winter quarters for race horses and an electric railroad to Monte Sano will probably result from the organization of the Tennessee Val ley Agricultural Fair and Racing asso- citation.

'Shaughnessy of New York, and provided this offer is accepted the Huntsville and Monte Sano Improvement company, of which Colonel OShaugh- messy Is president, will give the Hunts vile Electric Railway company a bonus to extend its lines to the fair grounds and on to the mountain.
 The land offered Is practically level and is suitable for very fast mile track. It is protected on three sides by mountains and will be an ideal location for winter training quarters.
 Following this proposition Is an offer of the charter of the Piedmont Driving club, which was granted by the Alabama legislature four years ago, allowing the club to operate race track, fair grounds sell liquor on the grounds and engage in other lines of business during the season of fairs.

Sick 

When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous sys- tenn, centering in the brain.
 This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stom- ach causes nausea, vomiting.
 This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting ill loss of memory, inflammation, epi- lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
 Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
 They stop the pain by sooth- ing, strengthening and reliev- ing the tension upon the nerves not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphines chloral, cocaine or similar drugs.
 "Sick headache Is hereditary in my family. My father suffered a great deal, and for many years have had spells that were so severe that was unable to attend to my business affairs for a day or 80 at time. During a very severe attack of headache. took Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills and they relieved me almost immediately. Since then I take them when feel the spell coming on and 1t stops 1t at once"
