ONE METHOD OF CUTTING BEEF

.' The illustration shows how a re-
taller usually cuts beef, the average
market price of the cuts, and theiA
uses.
The Loin.---This cut includes short
steaks, porterhouse, sirloin, and ten
derloin. The tenderloin is long
muscle that may be stripped from be-
meath the loin, but when it is re-
moved it destroys the value of the
porterhouse and tenderloin steaks
The first four cuts, from the small!
end of the loin are called club steaks
because they contain no tenderloiri
The next are the porterhouse; the next
and up to the beginning of the hook
bone are the tenderloin and are the
highest priced cuts in the beef. The
remaining cuts of the loin are the sir
loin.
The tenderloin when sold separate
ly is deficient in fat, hence must be
larded when roasted or broiled. The
loin is cut into steaks and broiled; oc-
casionally It is sold as roasts, but is
more expensive and no better than
are the ribs or chuck.
The Round.-This cut consists of
very juicy. lean muscles, and but little
bone. 1t is sold as steaks, roasts, and
for beef tea, and beef juice. 1t is ex-
cellent for pot-roasts, braizing, for
beef loaf, or for casserole of beef.
The Rib.-This cut consists of sew
en- ribs, called prime ribs; the cut is
made close to the shoulder blade and
separates 1t from the chuck. 1t is sold
az roast', being cut into one, two or
three rib pieces according to the size
of the beef and the wants of the fam
lily. The ribs may be removed and the
piece rolled. If the ribs are left, it is
caned a standing rib-roast. Dealers
sometimes remove the ribs and cut
and sell this piece as steak, calling 1t
New York porterhouse.
The Chuck.-This cut is next to the
prime rib cut and similar to it, but
contains more bone and gristle, and ts
not so fine grained and tender; the
portion near the point of the shoulder
blade is excellent for steak, and the
remainder is fine for roasts, mince
meat, etc.
The Rump.-This cut contains the
end of the hip bone and joint There
is considerable bone, but the meat
makes excellent roasts or pot-roasts.
The Clod.-This cut is back of the

BY Miss Leonora Maeadam,
: of Department.

Teacher OF Department.
YRYHEN you ask me what is the
HAI matter with New York wom-
" en-, their manners and their
habits, l see opened up be-
fore me large and painful subject
In sorrow l must admit that women
are helping to lower morals in New
York.
First, too much liberty is given to
the young woman. l do not mean
that she should be immured in con-
vent until she comes out socially, but
l believe that she should be taught
how to conduct herself properly in
public and in private before she goes
forth into the world. To-day this is
done only in rare cases.
The modern mother therefore is to
blame for the conduct of the new
generation of young women. She is
not content with the sweet manners
of a modest girl. She demands that
worldly dash in her daughter which
causes comment, yes, but which is so
often the hallmark of vulgarity The
mother does not recognize this as
such. To her it is style, fashion,
something sparkling and altogether
to be desired in her daughter.
From this scorn of sweetness and
modesty in young girls spring loose
ness and carelessness among women
in public. The young woman of to-
day thinks nothing of drinking in pub
lie; in fact. she awaits eagerly the
time when she may go into restau-
rant and order her cocktail.
Smoking in public is becoming too
common. To see a woman, beauti-
fully gowned, smoking in her motor
Is most offensive. yet walk down
broadway or Fifth avenue any eve
ming and you will see that very thing
This all comes from familiarity with
the life of the woman in the half
world. 1t is a difficult thing today to
tell one class from the other. In
dress, in habit. in manner. they are
the same. Their walk is filled with
suggestiveness. Their clothes are
designed. to attract the attention of
men. t.
Here is the great trouble with
women of all classes in New York.
They think only of attracting men.
They do not consider that gentleness
of manner and dignity will interest
the desirable class of men.
Until maternal censorship is exer-
cised over the dress and the habits
of the girls who have the wrons
standard of manners and dress the
moral tone of the city through wom-
en- will gradually decline.

The foregoing statement was shown
to many prominent New York women
who agreed that many of DR.. Hay
woods statements were only too true.
On the causes of existing conditions
they did not agree, however, and
their comments as here set forth are
sufficiently interesting to challenge
the attention of every thinking New
Yorker.

brisket and below the chuck u is
sold for boiling, stews, braizing, lnince
meat. etc.
The Flank.--This cut comes from
below the loin. 1t is boneless and
coarse, but of good flavor There is a
small lean muscle embedded on the
inside of the flank which is pulled out,
scored across the grain and sold as
steak; sometimes this steak is split,
made into a pocket" trussed and
roasted. The flank is a good boiling
piece, or it may be rolled and braized
or corned.
The Neck.-This cut comes from be-
low the ribs. 1t has layers of fat and
lean, and is the end of the ribs. 1t is
used for boiling and corning.
The Shank.-These cuts are the
fore and hind legs. They are tough
and contain large bones and tendons.
They are used for soup, cheap stews
and chop meats of various kinds.

President of the City Federation Of Won

~ HERE is a vast difference be

the other hand, there are thousands

toms of our nation. 1t is decidedly
bad taste, but not immoral.
/ must say right here that cannot
see how a woman's smoking would
have any specific or direct effect on
the moral drift of a community unless
she carried the habit to excess and
through that excess became irrespon-
sible
Drinking is an entirely different
matter, and l must condemn it with
out reservation. | have seen a great
deal of drinking among women, and
when you ask me what is the matter
with them, why do they do 1t, would

do not believe that the older New

woman into bad habits. The young
er woman now leads her elders. For
instance, a middle-aged woman goes
into restaurant; she has never
drunk anything in such a place: she
sees it going on about her among the
young women; 1t seems to be the Gus
tom; she follows the custom because
she does not want to appear behind
the times.
The cashing young woman in search
of new sensations sets the daring
example and warns her elders that
they must follow or be counted as
''has-beens."

Cement Floors In Winter.

An excellent suggestion is made by
practical swine breeder to those
having cement floors in their pens.
lie advises movable wooden floor
for the winter. He makes his own
floors of one inch boards and laws
them fiat on the cement, in sections
small enough to be easily removed at
any time.
In this way he combines the advan.
tages of both the cement and the
wood. He can remove the board floor
scrub out the pen and also thorough.
ly clean and disinfect the false floor
outside.
Cement is the cheapest material in
the end for the floor of the hog pen.
The floor of the outdoor apartment
should be few inches lower than the
house floor, so as to insure drainage
and dry sleeping quarters.

and participate in affairs that In
terest the public. But my old-fash-
ioned views inspire these comments
on DR.. Haywood's interview:
The trouble with New York women
is their lack of interest in their
home surroundings. They feel no in
! terest whatever in their homes Home
is a place to sleep, perhaps even to
eat in when the bank account runs
low and they cannot spend the accus-
toned amount in public restaurants.
In many households there Is little
love of family. Women do not wish
TO have children. This condition in
Itself Is enough to wreck the morals
OF a country, for no matter how bad
the woman If she has child the
spark of goodness and womanliness
still burns. On the other hand, the
woman who deliberately shuns the
motherly duty becomes hard and bad
at heart.
This lack of home ties leads to dis
sipation. The idle wife must be
amused. Once she begins to drink
she is forever restless. The world
holds not enough to divert her. She
must go out every night and then to
supper and to drink some more. She
must lunch and dine here, there and
everywhere and liquor accompanies
every meal.
Her home bores her. She escapes
from it as every opportunity She is
Off with other men because they in
terest her for the moment and furnish
excitement. She begins to regard her
husband as human bank account,
and resents the situation when she
finds she has overdrawn her account.
This condition nine times out of ten
will end with divorce. To-day, even,
divorce in the eys of some women is
diversion. 1t gives them something
to- do. IT. furnishes excitement to
jaded sensibilities.
Smoking represents exaggerated
stimulation of minds and bodies. Vul-
garity in dress is the natural result
OF the woman's deadened sense of de-
cency.
When a woman drinks she turns
