This preparation is quite nutritious,
and from one to three tablespoonful
may be given at time. Boil a juicy
round steak an inch thick, divide II
into inch squares, put each piece into a
lemon squeezer, and squeeze out all the
juice while hot. Add salt. when serv-
ing put the desired amount into cup or
bowl, and place it in basin of boiling
water. Stir carefully, and as soon as II
is hot serve. II left a moment too long
it will be spoiled, as it will curdle.

SCRAPED BEEF.

Scraped beef is often recommended for
invalids suffering from chronic gastritis,
typhoid convalescents, and others. 1t is
best when made from tender beefsteak,
broiled for few minutes over a bright,
clear fire. Rare roast beef or mutton
chop may also be used. Scrape with the
edge of spoon until the space scraped
has no meat on the surface but only the
white fibre; cut this off with sharp
knife, exposing another fresh surface.
The pulp may be passed through a
sieve, although this is not absolutely
necessary. Season it, and spread 1t on
thin slices of bread and butter; orit may
be made into little cakes and Drowned

dissect joints, and chop all into small
pieces. Put it on the range in cold

barbering. blacksmithing or the serv-
ing Of soft drinks and Ice cream may
survive, but such lines Of trade can
not sustain a decent town" The
cause Of this widespread loss Of busi-
ness is the aggressive and destructive
competition Of the catalogue houses
IN the big cities it has been possible
for 30 years or more to buy Of some
houses IN the cities. II one felt that
the merchants OF his town we're ex-
acting too much profit. but this EFFORT
OF the mail order houses to cut the
retailer altogether is a new thing. the
growth OF the past few years Start
ing with a few lines Of trade, this
form Of competition has come to cover
almost everything that can be sold in
a country town and it is even asserted
that a savings bank department IS TO

houses

The East End OF London is an ex-
ample Of what the city does for hu-
manity in creating poverty, misery,
disease, drunkenness and crime. JEFF
ferson was right when he said: Great
cities are great sores upon the body
polite" Is it any wonder that lovers
Of their kind are horror-stricken at
the grinding of these gigantic mills
whose grist Is the bodies and souls Of
men?
But there is another movement cop-
nected with this current setting eitv.
ward which, like it, is full Of grave
menace TO the welfare of humanity.
This is the dry rot now invading thou.

dangerous form Of competition, AMI

into these towns and you Will find
them at standstill or go.e back

or commercial travellers and you will
learn that business Is not as good as
formerly and that the prospect is for
a continued shrinkage in t-ede. An
obseryant commercial traveller said
to the writer; 4 believe the day OF
the Village and town is over. The big

know that he could have bought az
cheaply and selected much more sat
isfactorily at home. On a rural route
with which ] am familiar and over
which most Of the incoming letters
are from mail order houses and the
outgoing ones carry back money or
deFs, lives a friend Of mine who
bought a watch from the catalogue at
what he considered a rare bargain.
The watch came, to be sure, but it did
not go, that is at the right speed,
and, although money enough was
spent on 1t to bring the price up to
good figure, it was no better as
timekeeper than that famous watch
Of Capt. Cuttle's. Another friend
bought buggy at s34 and was elated
over his purchase until it came and
he saw that the top was very ordin-
ary article OF oil cloth. instead Of
leather, and he was so ashamed of it
that he sold 1t at loss to his hired
man and bought q better one in q
neighboring town. A lady and her
two daughters bought shoes from the
catalogue and when asked why they
had trouble with their feet said it was
because Of ill-ftting shoes. But such
instances of the bad effects OF buy
ing sight unseen" are daily occurring
all over the country. 1t Is only natur-
al and inevitable that such things
should happen
Let us see what will be the effect
Of this formidable diversion Of trade.
II carried to it's logical conclusion.
Nearly al the business houses Of the
smaller towns will become bankrupt.
the value of town property will de-
slime, churches and schools will re-
ceive a feeble support and the towns,
instead Of being centers Of business
and social activity, win almost cease
to exist. The country in general will
become Ike many portions of the
south where the large plantations. by
getting their supplies in the cities,
have kept the neighboring towns
