ARE LAYING Off MORE MEN
BALTIMORE & OHIO OFFICIALS
ARE RETRENCHING.
Cumberland Yard Men and Clerks
Are Being Notified to Take Va
catien MoreI Will Follow.

Since the beginning of the new year
the AK of retrenchment is cutting q
generous swath among the Baltimore
& Ohio employees in Cumberland. Par
ticularly Is this true among the clerks
in the yard, transportation and main
tenance of way departments There
has been generous shake-up among
the yard employees, number of chalk
ers and several clerks being laid off,
or assigned TO other duties.
In other departments in Cumber-
land several clerks have been laid
of or dispensed with altogether. II
is also asserted that several freight
handlers will be put off at the ware
house. Many claim that the policy
of retronchment along the Baltimore
& Ohio has only begun, and that tho
men who have taken control in Mr..
Fitzgerald's place will play havoc
with a great many positions, which
were created by him in the past few
years, and that the number of en-
ployes, outside OF the trainmen, will
be somewhat reduced. Another IL
lustration OF the old adage, "A new
broom sweeps clean"

Praise: For the Incompatible
trophies OF the faithful who have "en-
dured as seeing Him who Is invisible
for the prophets who have spoken iii
Gods name and feared not; for the
ministers and missionaries who.
through faith, have subdued king
doms, wrought righteousness, obtain
ed promises; for the martyrs who
have counted not life dear to them,
so that they might testify the gospel
of the grace Of God"
Prayer: For a like purifying, COM
forting, invigorating faith on the part
of all disciples; for that backgrounds
ed, practical belief which shall make
each disciple an unashamed, persua-
sive witness for Christ and his gos-
pei; prayer for the Astounding fruits
of such spiritual perception and devo-
ton.

CAMPAIGN TO MAKE
MEAT COST LESS
PACKERS TO EDUCATE
HOUSEWIVES.
VII Reduce Cost of High Cuts by
Demonstrating Value of Portions
Noe Considered Worthless.

South Omaha Neb. Aug. 2.-Every person in the
country Is interested in the price of and will
therefore. also be interested in a movement which
the Western packers preparing to undertake
to teach the American public that other portions of
beef are as nutritious and, when properly cooked
as palatable the costlier The ultimate end
will be the lowering OF prices all grades of
meats, especially in those which are now in
chief demand.
In short, the Western packers preparing a
campaign TO teach the public 20 buy and eat the,
whole "critter and not few choice cuts alone
from the sale of which the retailers say they
obtain the cost of the entire carcass because Of
their inability to sell the cheap cuts. This cam
paign is to be carried through the retail dealers
of the country who will be coached the subject
thoroughly that they will be competent to teach
their customers.
The packers say of the chief why
beef is not cheaper in America is that the people
demand the best cuts and leave much of the
so-caled inferior grades the hands of the pack
ers that they forced to keep the price of the
best cuts up TO counterfeit the waste, but II the
sales of the cheaper grades were increased the
cost of all would decrease materially.

FRIDGE TO EVERY MILE.
Montana Railroad Crosses Same
C0untu Line III Times.

15, Mont aue a2-One of the most remark
able stretches of railroad track In the worId VIII
ha encountered by the passengers who. WITHIN
few months will be able TO take passage for East
ern cities over the new Chicago. Milwaukee & 81
Paul when they pass along the Musselshei hiNer'
separating Fergus and Yellowstone counties Inc
stretch referred TO Is fifteen miles long ana IN
travelling over this section passenger Will go
from Fergus into Yellowstone County hfty-elght
times and return into Fergus County hfty-nine
times during the ride He will thus have crossed
the line separating the two counties III times.
When il is considered that the line which separates
the two political divisions is nothing more or less
than the Musselshell River, the feat will become
even more remarkable. For each crossing of the
line there is a bridge Hence, III bridges have
been constructed in a distance of 1l5 miles. This
is an average of more than enc bridge to every
mile and liz separate opportunities for the de-
spondent passenger desiring to commit suicide by
drowning.
This fact was included in the report of the new
road filed with the State Board Of Equalization.
and shows the amount OF track il had on March l
which will be subject to taxation this year. The
report indicates the point where the road enters
the state and follows the of its line through
Fergus County.
The line enters the state and passes easterly
through Custer County TO the county line between
Yellowstone and Fergus counties" says the re-
port. Continuing in a generally easterly Grec-
ton, the Musselshell River, which is the
dividing line between the county Of Fergus, on
the north side, and the county of Yellowstone,
the south side Of the river, III times passing there
by into Fergus County ffty-nne times and frcm
Fergus County into Yellowstone County ffty-eight
times"
Coming Sixteen Mile Canyon. in Fergus and
Meagher counties, the railroad will have in
creased number OF bridges. An entirely different
roadbed and track from that of the old Montana
railroad has been constructed, crosses the
creek more times than the old road. The Mon
tana railroad formerly held the record for the
number OF bridges in a given stretch in Montana
1t had two bridges TO every mile. Now, however
II is proba BILE that in of almost two hum
dred miles the Milwaukee holds the worlds record
for bridges. The bridges have been constructed in
such great number follow an air line as nearly
as possible, and also TO eliminate grades to some
extent.

One of the hackers arguments will be taken
from the yearbook of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture 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 demon
strate that the neckpece is toothsome ana nutrl-
tious II bears the lowest price. In fact 1t would
hardly be considered respectable to ask the butcher
for a piece of the neck. Perhaps low ORDER CT
proficiency in the housewives cooking in the past
gave TO the neckpiece its low place The story
might have been different had the cook known
how 10 utilize the meat in the making of attrac-
tive and delicious dishes. The point of the argu-
rnent is that cheap of good carcass are as
good as expensive pieces when iudciousiy selected
and properly cooked
american butchers complain that the average
housewife has little knowledge of the art of cook
ing She does not know how to make tasty dlsh
Of the cheap grades of meat She therefore buys
the best steaks, slaps them in the frying pan ana
places them the table when she thinks they are
properly cooked On the other side OF the Atahtic
the cuts are placed more equal footing the
den,and for the different cuts being more general
On this side the laborer's wife is more likely 10
order chops or steaks than to ask for brisket or
neck and in consequence II pays the big packers
10 send barrels and barrels of brisket ana 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-caLed
..choice" cuts stocking with the entire car
cass.
While the tenderloin is the tend7rest and Is con-
sidered the delicate cut it is not so juicy nor
so we'll Favored other portions less tender and
II is not nearly so nutritious parts which require
more cooking And both tenderloin and slrioln con-
tain less nutritive value than is found IN the
cheaper meats
Another government expert says that a chuck
steak after careful cooking, compares faVoraoly
with a round or sirloin from the same carcass
