MEAT AND MARKETMEN.
Suggestions for Housewives Who Order by
Telephone

1T has long been my conviction" said the head
of the domestic science department Of a woman's
college to her pupils the other day, that we
should choose our meat man carefully we
choose our doctor. 1 have talked great deal
about saving money, but 1t is false economy to go
to a cheap meat man. II we have q good family
doctor. In whom have confidence. we wouldn't
abandon him for another who might charge a few
cents less for his calls. We willing to pay
more for the better physician, feeling that the
health of the family must not be rsked for a bit
Of economy.
so. too. when we find an honest, capable meat
man, should be willing TO pay him few cents
more a pound for the sake of the family health.
Be sure too, that cheaper prices mean less value.
The meat may be good. but just few inches
more of bone would make up the difference in price
''I synpathize with the marketmen often. They
know their end of the business better than We
know We singularly ignorant Of meats
the most expensive Of cur meats.
Gould anything be more aggraVating, for exam
ple than the woman who puts off ordering until
just before dinner then scurries to the telephone
and tells the meat TO send her a choice cut Of
so-and-so, and is angry because the choice cuts
ali gone?
II don't believe. by the way, In too much order
ing by telephone. Are the meat shops going TO be
quite as clean If the merketmen know their best
customers those whose trade they value. are going
to order by telephone always? Wouldn't it be-
human nature for them to be trife slack. a little
less careful about cleanliness than If they knew
their best customers were likely TO drop In any
minute?
Women can't DO much TO control conditions at
a distance. They are helpless against some OF the
aduteration of foods. Such things must be handled
by law. But every housewife can. and should. &C
casionally visit the place where she buys her meat
and If she anything unclean Or objectionable
she should speak OF 1t; report to the authori
ties IL necessary. That's not pleasant thing to
do but duties often not pleasant. A remon-
STRANGE In the right place may result in needed
legislation. remember that in one Western state
laws OF benefit to the whole state were enacted
the outcome of womans noticing bad condi-
tions in a local slaughter house.
"Vegetarlans would say that the way to prevent
all this fuss about meat would be stop eating
meat. can hardly accept that doctrine. The
human has eaten great variety of meats
for untold centuries. and is not going to stop all
at There is no doubt that wel-to-do Amer
leans eat too much meat and all this talk about
the bad conditions has been useful in producing In

Just little bit of a forecast the reporters
pleaded.
Mrs. wilkins. who is tiny woman In black.
darted to the edge of the roof and took peek at
the clouds from under her Veil.
"Oh, love my Lord more than ever to-day"
she gurgled, coming back. "I said yesterday It

placed under laws physical Intellectual social and
religious to which she is held solemnIy responsible;
with deep affections that impart energy to the dc

courage indurated sympathies and world to
