too many sweets had better supple

other than sweets that she can nibble

of the chief reasons why she has such
a craving for candy as she reads or

for sweet stuff, but that she must nib.

Now, there are any number or other
foods that viii serve the purpose

HOW TO
BUY TABLE MEAT

SOUTH OMAHA, Neb,, Aug. 90
Every person in the country is inter
ested in the price of meat and will,
therefore, also be interested in move
ment which the Western packers are
preparing to undertake to teach the
American public that other portions of
a beef are as nutritious and, when prop
erly cooked, as palatable as the cost
lier cuts The ultimate end will be the
lowering of prices on all grades OF
meats, especially in those cuts which
are now in chief demand.
In short, the Western packers are

and not a few choice cuts alone, from
the sale OF which the retailers say they
must obtain the cost of the entire car
cass because of their inability to sell
the cheap cuts. This campaign is to be
carried on through the retail dealers of
the country who will be coached ON the
subject so thoroughly that they will be
competent to teach their customers.
The packers say one of the chief
reasons why beef is not cheaper in
America IS that the people demand the
best cuts and leave so much of the So
called inferior grades on the hands of
the packers that they are forced to keep
the price of the best cuts up to coun-
teract the waste, but if the sales of the
cheaper grades We're increased the cost
OF all would decrease materially.
One of the packers arguments will
be taken. from the yearbook of the
United States Department of Agricui-
ture, written by George K Holmes,
chief of the bureau of statistics. Mr..
Holmes points out the mistake made by
people of limited means in selecting the
most expensive cuts when many of the
unsought portions are equally, or even
more, nutritious. One of Mr.. Holiness
comments is as follows:
Although epicureans admit and
chemists demonstrate thai the neck.
piece is toothsome and nutritious. it
bears the lowest price. In fact, it
would hardly be considered respectable
to ask the butcher for a piece of the
neck. Perhaps low order of pro
iciency in the housewives cooking IN
the past gave to the neckpieee its low
place. The story might have been diff
ferent had the cook known how to
utilize the meat in the making of at
traetiye and delicious dishes. The
point of the argument is that cheap
cuts of a good carcass are as good as
expensive pieces when judiciously
selected and properly cooked. -
American butchers complain that the
average housewife has little knowledge
of the art of cooking. She does not
know how to make tasty dish of the
cheap grades of meat She therefore
buys the best steaks, slaps them in the
frying pan and places them on the table
when she thinks they are properly
cooked. On the other side of the At
lantic the cuts are placed on more
equal footing. the demand for the diff
ferent cuts being more general. On
this side the laborer's wife is more
likely to order chops or steaks than to
ask for brisket or neck, and in con.
it pays the big packers to
send barrels and barrels of brisket and
the cheaper cuts to England, while in
many cases the American butchers
would prefer purchasing more of the
portions from which they take the so.

mattresses paused a minute to look and
laugh. Then one of them called the
manager. He shook his head The
women were well dressed and he said
nothing, but the three young women
at the table opposite knew that it
would not be very long before the
whaeking up" privilege would be
taken away from them.

down town to shop-and for no other
reason-should spoil our fun or |

of HARM
The army OF business women who
must each day lunch down town is in
ereasing and to them the subject of
quick lunch at reasonable price is
one of grave Importance for the aver
age business woman is sensible enough
to know that she must have wholesome
and nourishing food if she wishes to
retain her strength and beauty. The
modern woman who is sensible wants
something more substantial for her re-
past than the cream puff or macaroon
which might have satisfied her mother.
How to get good food and where, in
the shortest time, are questions con-
stantly discussed, for while quick lunch
counters for men are to be found in
almost every block, there are few of
these which the average woman cares
to patronize. The cost must of neces->
sity be a consideration, for even FIVE
cents is a large enough sum to be con-
sidered by the girl whose salary is of.
ten insufficient to meet her needs even
with the utmost economy.
For the last reason, therefore, not /
less than the pleasure of each others
girls generally try to get to-
gether, for when orders can be divided |
the expense is lessened for all and
pleasing variety can be enjoyed, in
stead of only the sandwich ana cup
Of coffee which is about the limit of
expense a woman alone is willing t. go
for her luncheon.
Strange as it may seem, it generally
happens that the working girl is more
liberal and sensible in the matter of
luncheon than are many of her wealthy
sisters, who win often haggle about a
.en-cent luncheon when they win spend
dollars upon accessories of dress that
Gould well be dispensed with.
There is an inexpensive little restau-
amt in the shopping district where one
nay buy sandwich and a cup of cot
Zee for ten cents. This little place is
,atronized as much by the leisure class
IS by the working. There was time
when this shop offered cup of coffee
md a tiny plate of waters for five
.ents, but they had to stop it. One
lay two young women stopped in on
heir way TO the matinee. Their beau ;
ifully tailored gowns and chic hats
.eadily obtained cosy little table at
me side of the room for them while

score or more people waited in line
1t was with an apologize air that the
waiter handed them the menu.
Lets see, said the girl with the
fluffy plumes. 81 believe you give a
plate of waters with the coffee, don 4

| Eyes, madame, replied the waiter
all attention.
F"Well, I'll tell you what Wen do, =
remarked Miss Fluffy Plumes, smiling
sweetly at her companion, "We1I take
one cup of coffee and the waters. >
s'But L like my coffee with sugar
and you take yours plain, " complained
the other.
sob, that 5 all right, y returned
Miss Fluffy Plumes, who was equal to
any emergency. You could tell that by
her emphatic mods. Gwen fix it. I'll
drink my half first and then you can
take it and put in all the trimmings
you like.
The order was filed and the two
women walked out, depositing one
check for five cents at the cashier s
desk.
The bills of fare at the restaurant
now read across the top, "No orders
less than 10 cents. y No wonder.
The queer orders women sometimes
give are amusing. A pale, dyspeptic
looking woman orders ten cents worth
of French fried potatoes every day. She
eats them slowly and deliberately, tax
ing each brown piece in her fingers and
sips a glass of ice water which is given
free.
At another restaurant there is a
plump girl who sits in the same corner
every day, and she never varies her
order of watermelon and corn on the
cob. Not few girls order olives aud
crackers for their luncheon and declare
it splendid midday meal.
Many philanthropic women have Civ
en- consideration to the problem of pro-
viding wholesome luncheons for work
ing girls at prices within their reach,
although no practical solution has been
offered In almost all eases it has been
found that the women not at all in
need of philanthropy have been the
most regular customers.
One of the most pleasant rooms open
ed for women in this way is conducted
under the auspices of the Young Wo-
men 5 Christian Association, where a
girl may spend anywhere from three
cents up for her meals. Many hundred
women eat there during the week, and
the room is scarcely large enough to
the crowds. The women
form in line, and as they pass along
they gather up for themselves tray,
plate. spoon, knife, fork and napkin,
then passing to the food counter they
choose their luncheon. At the end of
the line they show their tray to a
young woman, who gives them a check
the price of their lunch.
Luncheon finished, they return tray and
dishes to another table. The system
is al right, but under present condi-
tions 10 requires time, and that is pre-
cisely what the business woman hasn't.
number of church women serve
luncheons on certain days in the week
during the cool weather, and the prices
are reasonable, but, unfortunately, 1t Is
not always cool weather in Kansas
CITY The city is unfortunate IN It's

men. and it is small wonder that the
question is so much discussed.

Miss Ella Wagner and little sister,
Rose, returned home Fridpy after
apleasant visit To their sister, Mrs.
w. N. Williams, Mt Eggleston.
News was received here Sunday
morning of the murder of VIII
Deaton, eldest son OF Mr.. @. A.
Deaton, formerly of this place, but
now OF Woosley. lie was stabbed by
n young man named French, of
Bluefleld. The young men were
drinking, and were in store at
Woosley, when they engaged in
quarrel, French drawing his knife
stabbed him four times killing him
instantly. Miss Fannie, sister of the
young man killed, was visiting re-

Rowdyism at the Fair.

One unpleasant feature of our
county fair is the rowdyism and
disorder, particularly on the outside,
near the entrance gate. There is neces-
sariIy much crowding there, owing
To the limited space for horses and
vehicles. But this furnishes no eX-
cuse for drukenness and misconduct.
1t is To be hoped that the authorities
will see TO IL this year that an eff
cient and sufficient number of officers
are placed at that point and along
the road, rs well as inside, To insure
the suppression of all rowdiysm as
far as possible. Some people think a
county fair is failure unless they
get drunk and "cut up" and make
themselves disagreeable generally. IT
would be good thing to have lock
up on the grounds in which to clap
the "booze-fghter," and the rowdy
for his own and other peoples pro-
lection and comfort. In any event,
it is hoped that everybody will be.
have themselves next week.

Graham Excited Over
Finding CoIored Child

Graham, Va. Sept. 10 especially
Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned Sunday evening among the
colored residents of Furnace Hill"
by the finding of little colored
child crouching under vacant
building near the furnace i'm. an al
most half dead condition. The child,
which is "A girl about eight years of
age, was left with colored woman,
relative, who resides ear the furnace,
by its father, who works in the
coal field, its mother being dead. The
child had been missing since Satur-
day, but the woman in whose care il
had been left, made no effort To find
il or TO report its absence, claiming
that she thought il was in BluefeId.
Parties, however, who saw the child
in the neighborhood Saturday, wand
ering about in the drizzling rain,
started search Sunday evening,
which resulted in the finding of the
child lying under the building men,
toned, completely exhausted from
hunger, thirst and exposure. The
foundation of the building WIS SO
low that the rescuers had to do some
eXcavating before they could reach
the emarciatted form of the child
and drag ii out. Quite a good sized
snake was found lying close to the
childs head. The only article OF
clothing on he child was thin
calico dress. 1t was given food and
water and cared for until Monday
morning when it had recovered
sufficiently to be sent To its father S
at Elkhorn. Those who examined
the child say its back was covered
with marks from the repeated severe
thrashings il had received from It's
foster mother.
