HOUSEHOLD HELPS
A Kitchen Controversy.

There is a difference of opinion
about the value of shop meat for food.
The domestic science teacher generally
claims that the meat used in soup is
dry, tasteless and useless as food, and
yet one of the United States experts
in the investigation of nutrition claims
that this same mass of flbers which is
left undissolved by water can be as
easily and completely digested as
ordinary roast, and it contains nearly
all the protein of the meat. Now.
which shall one believe?
The statement of the cooking
teacher was made several years ago,
and since that time exhaustive expert
ment has proved that many old beliefs
concerning nutritive values were not
well founded. This one item of soup
meat illustrates a change of view. We
eat meat principally to secure the
protein which it furnishes, and, as the
expert says. this is almost all left even
after long boiling. The broth or soup
is composed of the juices, soluble albu-
men and favOrings, and it is true that
with them go the appetiZlnS quaItleS.
1t is also Il fact that if food does not
taste good it has little value The
hardened fiber and the inSoluble albu-
men do not appeal to the appetite, ana
in truth. are almost useless as a food
.. unless one knows how to make them
appetiZng.
If the meat is ground fine it VIII
make excellent crOquetteS, haShes ana
meat pies: the secret is in the season.
| ing Do not use strong, rank laVors'
but the mild herbs like summer saVorv
and rosemary. onion juice and smali
amounts of good catsup or taple
sauces. If these soup meats can oe
seasoned properly and ground up IL Is
probable that they can be made ap-

A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or starved
liver. It would be stupid as well as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it IS
q great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures OF "liver
trouble" by its wonderful control OF the
ORGANS of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the sccrctions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, clcanses the system from pol
sonous accumulatiOnS, and SO relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon 1t BY
the detection OF other organs.

Be Brave.

The touch Of hand the glance of an
eye,
OF a word exchanged with 4 paSSCrDy,
A glimpse of a face in crowded street,
And afterward life is incomplete;
\ picture painted with an honest zeal.
And we lose the old for the new ideal;
A chance remark, or a songs refrain,
And life is never the same again.
A friendly smile, and loves e'lbering
spark.
Leaps into fame and illuminies the dalk;
A whispered BE brave" to our fellow
men.
And they pick up the thread of hope
again,
Thus never an act or word or thought
But that may be with Importance
fraught.
For small Things build up eternity
And blaZon the ways for destiny.
