THE SELECTION AND
PREPARATION OF MEAT

Probably no part OF the daily expen-
diture for food requires as much study
and thought as the purchase of meat.
for meat is expensive. and the differ
ence OF price of the different cuts Is
not always guide 10 the difference
in food values. Every housekeeper
should make careful study OF n
good meat chart and learn the loca-
lion OF the various cuts.
Meat is the name applied TO the
flesh of all animals used for food
Beef is the meat Of the steer or the
COW, an dis the most largely consum-
ed OF all animal foods
Veal is the meat obtained from the
young calf. Veal should be thorough
ly cooked. II Is deficient In fat. and
has not much flavor. therefore. It is
advisable to season It well and to add
salt pork while cooking. Good veal is
pink In color and has white fat.
Beef is digested easily and n healthy
stomach will digest II without any
trouble.
Meat is comprised OF fat, mineral
matter, water and protein. There Is
about four times as much protein in
a pound OF meat as there is in pound
of milk. The color OF meat comes
from the matter which is found in the
red corpuscles of the blood.
The most expensive cuts OF meat
come from the parts of the animal
where the muscles are little used.
These cuts are tender. fine grained
and OF good flavor On the other
hand. those parts much used produce
tougher cuts. but they are often very
juicy and OF fine flavor when properly
coojksd. The tough meat forms more

Denver, Dec 27.-The executive Of

he has failed TO commit himself at any
of the conferences that have been held.
He is willing that the responsibility

Nevertheless. the difference of opin-

strong that IT Is beginning to be felt
at the capitol and ere the administra-

II has In all previous administrations.
Governor Shafroth is determined to
call the members together in an extra

for getting any laws through are slim.
He also admits that there is a posEi-

frightened them nearly to deaf ev-

dreadful appearance of the comet was
in 1856, three years after CONSTANT
nople was conquered by the Turks.
People were afraid that the Turks
were going to overrun Europe. and
when the comet appeared they
thought 1t had come to help their
enemies. So the Pope ordered all
the bells in the churches to be rung

But now we know that the comet

a great many times without doing
any harm and isn't likely to begin
now. 1t was Edmund HALEY who
discovered this when the comet Wis
tied us in 1852. He calculated the
comets orbit or path around the sun.
Then he compared II with the orbits
of comets which had appeared in 1907
and 1881. and found that all three
were exactly alike. He concluded then
that the three comets had been only
one. and that II would appear again

astronomers tell US, by the beginning
of February. But it won't be very
conspicuous until April. Then if 1t
behaves as it did on previous visits
its tail will sweep one-quarter of the
distance across the sky.
Before Halley's time no one had any
idea that comets travelled around the
sun. like the planets and returned
at regular intervals but now we know
that a great many of them do so. We
have learned many other things about
comets, too. For nne thing, We know
that there are a great many of them.
They are as numerous in the heavens
1t has been said. as fishes in the sea,
but most of them can be seen only
with the telescope. We also know
that they are perfectly harmless
things. comet isn't likely to hurt
us, astronomers say, unless It should
run into us head first, and there isn't
chance OF that happening more
than once in fifteen million years.
Even then we don't know that any
thing serious would happen. 1t would
all depend on what the comets head

We may see a shower OF stars that

SHOWING OF
 NEW HAVEN FOR
 EIGHT MONTHS
Increase in Freight Traffic Indicates a Sharp Revival of Business in New Eng land.

Boston, April s.-The New Haven furnishes an excellent statement for February. With an increase in re- ceipts for the month of S467, 900, the to- tai operating expenses were lower than they were year ago. The net for the month, $1,222,123, was almost twice as large as in 1908.
 Almost all of the increase in revenue came from freight carried. 1t ap- pears from this showing that indus tries throughout New England are be- ginning to run on full time again. No other section of the country was hit harder by the retrenchment which has been going on for IS months than the manufacturing districts of Massachu- setts and Connecticut and in the re- covery of more than 20 per cent. in the New Ravens freight business indicates general improvement.
 Summarized for eight months, the New Haven's operations show gross earnings of s35. .533, 1855, which is a loss of S1 O02, SPA; operating expenses of $24(- 393 545 which is a reduction of $1, 774,- 518; and taxes of g, ,307 900, an increase of S125, ,00O, so that the net operating income for the period was S9, ,652, ,29S, an increase of $637, ,44S. As s516.000 of this gain came in February alone, the pros poets for increased surplus for the re- maining four months looks encourag- ing.
 In the eight months there was spent on maintenance of way $540, 900 more than in 1908, while on the upkeep of equipment there was expended $1,012,- 900 less.

EnaIand's Generals.

There has not been an English gen. eral since Marlborough. Wellington was born at Dangan castle, Meath, of an old Irish family called Wesley and christened in Dublin. Wolfe was born at Ferneaux abbey, Kildare, and chris tened at Westerham-nearly in the same case as the Brontes Brunty). His grandfather defended Limerick against William III.
 Sir John Moore and the Napiers were Scotchmen, and so was Abercrombfe EgypD; so were Napier of Magdala, Crawford and Clyde. Wolseley, Rob- erts and Kitchener are Irish; SO was Cough. The generals and statesmen who saved India to Great Britain were Neill, Nicholson, the two Lawrences Qrish), Edwards CWelsh) and Rose (Scotch).
 I know of Wolfe because my great grandfather served under him at Que bee. His Irish birth was corroborat- ed to me by Captain Dunne, once we'll known in literary circles of a Queens county family. don't know whether Scotchmen like to be called English, but certainly Irishmen do notion don News

FOR A MOVING
 PICTURE HOUSE
New Workers are Looking Over Clark Property on
 Fairfield Ave.

While there is much talk of new picture theatre to be established in the building at 2S-34 Fairfield avenue, formerly occupied by George B. Clark the matter is unsettled. One half of the building is owned by F. H. Lyon and the other half by his sister, Mrs. H. T. Shelton. New York parties, whose names have not been divulged, made inquiry about the building on Thursday, and learned that five year lease could be secured. The New Workers say they would remodel the building provide an auditorium and gallery which would seat 1900 people.
 There is grave doubt in the minds of many if the proposition would pay because of !he great expense of re- modelling and the rental cost which is several thousand dollars. The first cost on establishing the theatre, which includes the rent for five y0ars and the cost of remodeling. is estimated at $37.O00. The New Workers are said to be able to provide this amount and more too.

Fifty Dollar Dinners,

"Dinners at $50 a plate are as com mon in New York as five dollar din ners are in London and Paris" said a chef. "Our extravagant dinners are no better than the cheaper foreign ones. Their cost Is caused not by the exquisite cooking of exquisite materi- als, but by the use of exotic foods whose expense is their chief recom- mendation. What do I mean by ex- otic foods? Well, mean cane sugar instead of tie ordinary beet root kind for the compete; I mean wild rice in- stead of the cultivated for the canvas back; 1 mean sole brought alive fror England and sterlet from Russia, when our own native fish is better condi- toned; I mean hothouse strawber- rtes as big as apples, pears as big as cocoanuts and grapes as big as peaches. all tasting rather like raw pumpkin, but looking very fine in blizzard weather. Foolish foods; but, then, it's only foolish people who eat fifty dollar dinners. ."-Cincinnati Enqufrer.

It is not at all surprising that the American vernacular should some times prove a little too much for the Englishman- A case in point was that of visitor from London who came to New York last summer and was taken by his host to see one of the league baseball games at the Polo grounds. The game had progressed as far as the third inning without any thing in particular happening, when suddenly one of the Giants pounded out three bagger that set everybody bowling with joy.
