THE ROAST OF VEAL
HOW 1T MAY BE DISPOSED OF
ECONOMICALLY.
Presents Fewer Problems Than the
Leg Of Mutton-Chops and Cut
letG Make Excellent Second
Day Dishes.


To the capable housewife, the easy
disposal of a roast of veal should be
less serious problem than the eco
lomical disposition of leg of NUT
on. Even when there are but two
mouths to feed, the matter is not one
that should tax her ingenuity to any
great extent. All that is required is
Judgment in the selection of the re-
cipes that are to give the appearance
Of variety to her daily menu, and
when 1t is veal that is the founda-
ton upon which she has to build the
,hoice of tasty and attractive dishes
S by no means narrow one.
The first point to which she must
give her attention is the selection
Of the veal itself, and this is a mat
ter about which she cannot be too
careful, as the immature, or so-called
bob" veal is frequently the cause
If many internal disorders. In spite
Of the vigilance of the boards of
health, a great deal of this unwhole-
some meat escapes detection and
is sold as good veal by INSCRIPTIONS
marketmen. AS such meats may be
detected without much trouble, how
ever, there is no reason why an ordi-
narily intelligent buyer need be i'm
posed upon. Wholesome veal has
pinkish tint, is firm to the touch, and
has hard bones. Bob" veal is of
a blush hue, and seems flabby and
sticky when pressed by the finger.
AS veal is a meat that does not
spoil easily after it has once been
cooked, the economical way to pur-
chase a roast is for the housewife to
order two or three times as much
as she can possibly eat at a single
meal. Bought in such quantity the
price will be lower, and there is no
reason why any of the meat should
be wasted. If it is the loin that has
been selected, let II be weighed, and
then request the butcher to cut off as
many chops as may be required for
a second meal. If it is the les that
you prefer, have him cut off enough
slices of the meat to assure you a
few outlets. In this way the meat
for the second meal may be procured
at a much smaller cost than would
have been possible had the chops or
outlets been ordered separately.
Roast your veal, therefore, and en-
Joy it just as much as you would if
the problem of its disposal did not
confront you. Then, when you have
eaten enough, put the remains of the
roast into the ice-boX, and at the next
meal serve the chops or outlets. If
you like, you may smother them a

ButsermIlk as a Tonic.

Ordinary sour buttermilk is a bet
ter tonic, is a better food than ever
was bottled or boxed up by the chem
list or doctor. Buttermilk is a
hearty food. Two glasses a day is
enough for any one This should be
drunk with meals or else should not
be taken within two hours of meal.
Time should be given for it to di-
gest thoroughly before anything else
is taken into the stomach. 1t takes
buttermilk considerably over an hour
to digest. and TO drink another glass
before the first one is digested is to
stir up difficulties with the digestive
organs. Really the best way to drink
buttermilk is with the meals, though
it may be drunk between meals as a
sort Of easily digested lunch.

PUSHED THE BEAR ASIDE.
surveyor Tells of Experience He Does
Not Care to Repeat.

To walk right up to a monster bear
and try to shove it out of the way and
then escape without so much as
scratch is an experience of a lifetime.
Harry | Engelbright found it so a few
days ago in Diamond canyon, above
respondent of the Sacramento Bee.
The young man, son of Congressman
Engelbright, has just returned from
the upper country, where he has been
doing some surveying, and relates his
thrilling experience. 1t was coming
on dusk, at the close of the days work.
In the brush-lined trail he saw pro-
truding what he thought were the
hind quarters Of some stray bovine.
He walked up and gave the brute
shove. 1t came to its launches with
a snort that made his hair rise and
caused him to beat a hasty retreat.
The big brute looked around and then
shuffled off into the woods. 1t was
either asleep or else so busy eating
ants from an old log that it failed to
hear the young surveyor, whose foot
steps were deadened by the thick car
pet of pine needles. Later 1t was
learned that the same bear, a monster
cinnamon, had killed a dog earlier in
the day. The dog ventured too close
and with one blow Of its paw the big
beast sent it hurting yards away,
dead as a doornail.

chopped, and can be mixed with finely
chopped sweet pickles and olives. All

and mixed with mayonnaise. Ham
mixed with chopped hard-boiled eggs
and catsup is tempting for a filing.
