For the Meat Left Over from the Day
Before.

In buying a roast Of beef for a small
family 1t is wiser to buy two ribs than
one, as two cook to better advantage,
and what is left MAKES a delicious pot
roast for the next days dinner.
For the pot roast cut up a large
onion and fry in a tablespoon of but
ter; add one tablespoon of -four, and
when they are dark brownie sure
and do not let them burn-add one
quart Of boiling water. Keep stirring
until blended smoothly, then put in
the roast that was lie I over and half
can OF tomatoes, one Glove Of garlic
and salt and pepper to taste. Cook
about three.QuaIters of an hour, on
top Of the stove in a covered pot, when
1t will be ready to send to the table
Send to the table on platter covered
with gravy and on the top half a can
OF mushrooms that have been cooked
in some Of the gravy. Serve with
mashed potatoes. The other half of the
tomatoes can be made into soup or
stewed for the next days dinner and
served with steak and the leftover
mushrooms.

CHEESE IN PLACE OF MEAT.
Is Cheaper and Really Has a Greater
Food Value.

In view Of the high price of meat 1,
Is useful to know that a pound OF
cheese is equal in food value to two
pounds Of beef and is generally
cheaper.
The difficulty of digesting cheese is
lessened If 1t is cooked or served
broken up or grated. A small pinch OF
bicarbonate Of soda is sometimes add
ed to assist digestion.
A slight grating of cheese improves
almost any dish such as pOached eggs
roast potatoes, mashed potatoes and
cream toast.
For a tomato and cheese salad
which is quickly prepared. cut the to
matoes in thick slices, sprinkle each
slice with little freshly minced Der
muda onion and the same amount o.
grated cheese. Serve with French or
mayOnnaise dressing.

About Grading Wheat.

Governor Hoch will. in a few
days, receive a petition signed by
more than 1000 Kansas farmers
asking for change in the method
Of wheat grading in this state.
The petition is the result of the
activity of the Kansas branch of
the American Society of Equity.
although it has had the aid of
wheat growers not identified with
that movement. and that the So
ciety does not desire to Gle i'm all
the credit for this action to Sc.
cure q reform of the wheat grad.
ing system of this state The
petition soon to be sent to the gov
ervnor will recite the effort made
last July to get the Grain Inspec-
toin commission to change the
grades and the commissions refu.
sal to do so. The commission
claimed that the demand of the
grain growers would work to their
own injury if granted, but the
grain growers think thew should
be the best Judge of that. They
also ask that one member of the
commission at least be farmer
living on his farm.
If the system of grading wheat
in this state is such as to deprive
the growers Of several cents on
each bushel to which he is fairly
entitled as is charged in this Pc
tition then it should most certain.
ly be changed.

communities.
The changes now made in the

crease the membership. Then the
big state Judging school at Man.
haitian December 26 to January 4.
at which $50 boys were enrolled,
will also add to the interest and
add to the membership. In most
counties in eastern Kansas the

led or quadrupled. and about ff,
teen counties in eastern Kansas
we're not in the contest at all last
year.
Below are the COMETS classes
for 1908.
