You see that ! have taken you At
your word, and have come TO ask your

Howe 10 her hostess. who came forward
with a smile OF welcome and greeted
her visitor by a friendly pressure Of the
hand. The two young girls arose as
the visitor entered Rosamond advanced
to shake hands CHANGING from one

Although Mrs Howe was quito
familiar with the rule that two women

fine in grain or rich in quality. The
neck is used Tor siews and for boiling.
The side OF the animal, running along
under the ribs, is the Battle-Ground. This
is used for corning. The brisket is un-
der the side of the animals body, and
that, many people-myself among the
number-cors:ter the finest part for
corning. Tie shoulder is used for steaks
and corning, though the less said about
the tenderness of shoulder steaks the
better. The shin. both in front and
back, is used for soup and soup stock,
the marrow in the shinbone giving the
richness so desirable.

Probably the very simplest form of

wish you would take the trouble to re-
member this; 1t IS one OF the useful bits
OF knowledge that it Is well TO tuck
away into the memory ready for use at
any time. 1t might come under the
head of general principles"
Boiling Meat
After the meat has been wiped, put it
at once into boiling water, which has
been sailed, and be sure the water covers
it completely. 1t is important that the
water should be boiling when the meat
is put into it, because the intense heat
sears the surface at once and prevents
the juices from flowing out and vast
ing; and when the meat is done it IS
moist and well-favored, as meat should
be, having lost little in the process of
cooking Let the meat boil for a few
minutes after putting it in the water,
then set it back on the stove or range
and let it simmer gently until it is done.
During the boiling a scum is thrown
to the surface, and this should be care
fully removed until the water remains
clear on the top; another thing, the
kettle should be kept covered except
when the cover is removed that the sur
face OF the water may be SKINNED, be-
cause the steam is Of great assistance
in softehing the hbers Of the meat; be-

fectly preserved
1t would escape .neo the air with the
steam If it were not held by being COW
cred. As you so on you will find that
there is good and perfectly logical
reason Tor every direction which is given
you, and that the more implicitly YOU
obey the better success you viii have,
and il won't be luck, either Ii will
be because you took care and obeyed
rules
Braising Meat
As to the length of time that meat
should boil, that depends wholly upon
the weight II viii take about twenty
minutes for the heat to penetrate
through piece of meat 50 that it will
be ready to begin to cook, and so that
time doesn't count in the cooking; but
reckoning from the end of the twenty
minutes. twelve or fifteen minutes should
be allowed for each pound If the meat
is cut thick the longer time will be
needed but if the piece is thin aud flat
the shoFter time will be found to be
sufficient
Braising, which is another way of
treating the tougher fihcred meat is
cooking in the oven in covered pan,
Smothering the meat in its own juices
and having good deal of herb season
ing in the dish with the meat. Meat
thus prepared is most delicious.
Roasting meet is, properly, cooking it
before the open IRE, by subjccting il to
a high degree OF heat I hat IS the way

u. S. c. TRACK SQUAD
DOES NOT FEAR POLY
Captain Lennox Expects His Squad to
Bring Some New Records, as
He Has Exceptional
Material

Y. S. C.'s track squad will be out in
full force against Polytechnic high
school at the Bovard field Saturday aft
ernoon in. u. S. C.'s first meet of the
season.
Capt. Lennox Of u. S. c. is sending
the men through the sprints daily, ana
a good showing is expected by the
Southern California athletes.
The preparatory department will fur
nlsh some good men in the high jump.
Fisher easily makes feet z inches and
Murray feet s inches. Trotter, the
shotput, is also out for the high lump.
Goodsel of the freshmen class from
the Glendale high school looks like u
good one in the broad jump. Kicker
hauser and Holloway of the prepara-
tory department are the other prornis-
ing candidates.
In the mile and two-mile Scott looks
the best, with Martin close second.
BoWser, sophomore, is out for the
tWo-mile and looks a winner
Verge, Bruce and Williams are can
didates for the S80-yard dash, and from
the showing made the Methodists may
have new record to their credit the
end of the season. Coach Dean Cronl-
we'll expects to capture first honors
against Stanford and Berkeley in this
event.
Hall, Blackburn and Williams have
CONeIeu the QuarLef-m1le IN less than
so seconds number of times in trial
spins.
Trotter is expected to break the
Southern California record which he
made last year in the shotput. Hall
and Murray are other good ones in this
event.
Goode of the dental department is
tossing the hammer a distance of 14O
feet without difficulty, and has his eye
on the Southern California record.
Burek is next with 125 feet, while Muir
ray of the law school is holding his
own for third position.
Roberts of the dental department wifi
care for the century. He ran it in 10
seconds fiat against a northern univer-
sity team last season, and expects to
repeat the distance in this time again
this year. He will be pressed closely
by TrOtter and Reed of the liberal arts
In the pole vault event among those
who are eligible to compete against
Poly Winnie" Ward is the pick of the
bunch for this event, clearing the bar
at 10 feet 8 inches. Carl Wirsching,

wards. He paid $4,000 for Maltbie and broke
even last Saturday when he ran third in the
Ventura. If he can pick up the $4,000 first
money in the Burns next Saturday he will
have something for which to congratulate him
self.
Jockey Page drew down a fine of s25 for dis
obedience at the post yesterday. He has
given Starter Dwyer no end Of trouble by his
stubbornness and is reaping his reward.
Jockeys who try to impose on the good nature
of the best starter in the business will have
nobody but themselves to blame for the penal
ties they incur. Dwyer is the most patient
and forbeaTing starter in the business and the
boys owe it to him to return the favors he
shows them by obedience at the post and as
sisting in getting the fields away to good starts.
Jockey Ed Shriner has returned from the
bushes and has been signed up by the Pasa-
dena stable to ride it's horses throughout
the winter season. He had the mount La
Refine Hindoo, for the Oakwood stock ranch
yesterday. He was star on the Texas cir
cult and is said to have developed into a
careful and most capable rider
Almena, winner of the last race yesterday,
is a perfect picture of her dam, Geheimness,
which was valued at big sum by Barney
Schrieber when she in her two and
three-year- old form. She was a stake win
ner and gave such great promise a two
year-old that Barney refused an offer of
$4,000 for her. She afterwards was rem
dered almost useless as a racer by a severe
attack of catarrhal fever. Keen horsemen
predict good future for Almena.
Three big stores went out of commission
yesterday at curtain hour and two others
went on. George Rose, AL Curtis and Dave
McCuddy drew out and Ben Levy and Sam
Wolfgang cut in. Rose will be out Of line
for several days, as he has gone to Emery
Vile to witness the running Of the Burns,
and may book there for a short time
Twenty-Five books lined up after roll call
yesterday and had all the business they
could handle.

Weights for the eligibles to the AL

stake feature Saturday afternoon at
Santa Anita, were announced yesterday
by Handicapped Smith. Jack Atkin, of
course, carries top weight, being asked
to tote 13S pounds. and inasmuch as he
is asked to meet some classy ones at
from ten to fifty pounds less weight lie
will have a big job on his hands TO
maintain his non-losing record for the
season. The stake closed with 125 non4-
nations, and large field is expected
to go to the post to race for the guar
anteed purse of $25OO. If the track is
fast Jack Atkin will start, but not
otherwise. In any event, however, a
classy field will go to the post. Follow
ing are the weights
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-28

Improvement seems to be the order Of
business upon which Secretary Smith pro-
ceeds every day this week in arranging the
Santa Anita card, as the offering for this
afternoon Is quite improvement over that
of yesterday and other days since the rains
began. Real class will be in evidence this
afternoon and if the sun shines track that
will permit the fast steppers to have a
chance at first moneys will add to the en-
joyment of the patrons. Despite the rains,
the track was hard, yet muddy, yesterday,
and few hours of Southern California
sunshine before racing time today will make
1t good, although not fast. The feature of
the card will be the Duarte handicap at six
and half furlongs, and a classy field has
been named. Lady Irma, which recently set
a world record at five and a half furlongs,
will meet such speedy and classy ones as
Far West, Halket, Hasty Agnes, Old Timer,
Tony Bonero Mark Antony II and Mont
gomery. This is sure to develop into a real
horse race and is the most open affair that
Handicapped Smith has arranged this sea-
son, the weight arrangement makes 1t
exceedingly difficult to figure out a winner.
Every other event on the card has good
class in the entry lists, and the sport should
be far above par, regardless of track condi-
tions
r. F. Carman, who recently lost Fleming
to R. L. Thomas via the claiming route, got
his good performer back yesterday by bid
ding him up to $500. Fleming won like a
good horse and Carman always has fancied
him as one of his most useful racing tools.
He had Arimo in the race. but won enough
to pay for Fleming, he only bet on Arimo
to show. The latter seems to be a hopeless
wreck of his former self and is about done
for as a racer.
Jockey Lee Notter the premier jockey of the
day, was a visitor at Santa Anita yesterday
for the first time He came south to visit
friends among the riders and held a levee in
the paddock throughout the afternoon. He is
chunky chap and seems in a fair way soon
to outgrow his profession He will not ride
here, returning to Emeryyille tonight where
he rides for Charley Ellison.
