HIGHER FREIGHT RATES.

II the railroads are counting further
unpopularity they will persist in their
present plan to raise freight rates
all over the United States. Adding
to the cost of living is not going to
make a hit with the ultimate con.
sumner, who will eventually have to
pay the freight.
The railroads are prospecting. They
are paying big dividends. With in.
creased bulk of business and con-
stantly growing experience in ways
OF economy, there is reason why they
should be able to haul freight for
smaller rates instead of having to
increase the cost.
And they're starting something that
they may not be able to finish.

The restoration of the Campanile
in Venice is a triumph of sentiment
over mere commercialism. The old
tower which was begun more than =

unitarian value, yet such was the
grief of the Venetians over the loss
of its commanding presence that they
said, The master of the house is
gone" The new tower which the city
has nearly completed is merely re.
storation of the old one and the pieces
of the bells forming the far famed
chime which hung in the tower were

PAVING BONDS.

About the only opposition thus far
developed against the issuance of
bonds for paving the intersections of
Norfolk avenue, seem to be contained
in the three questions following:
Why should the city vote bonds to
pay for removing the earth in front
of bushes houses to reduce the level
of the street so that paving may be
placed on it?
Why are we asked to vote $4,000
In bonds when it is estimated that the
required cost for each intersection will
be 81 900 and there are but seven in.

Theodore Roosevelt is one of the
chief advocates of tea as a harmless
stimulant for men doing severe ply
steal work. On his hunting trips he
always uses it in preference to any

tells frequently of the restorative pro.

body the following facts
No part of the money realized from

cost of removing earth from the sur

in the lower parts of town, and UNI
der normal conditions this dirt must

at a considerable cost for the soil and
"a greater cost for hauling, on account
of the distance that it must be car.
ried. If the dirt can be taken from
Norfolk avenue, where nothing will be
paid for it, the cost of hauling will
be not more than one.half what 1t will
cost to bring it from the hill. 1t may
be true that it will cost little more
to load it, on account of its packed
condition, than it would to load it at
the hill, yet it costs the city nothing
except the loading while it has to be
paid for at the hill, while the hauling
to the streets that require to be graded
will be less than half because of the
reduced distance. And this dirt must
be provided this year, as the condition
of lower Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth
and other streets is such that the peo.
pie living along those streets are en-
titled to have them made passable in
bad weather, Every load of dirt so
removed from Norfolk avenue will be
paid for from the street fund of the
city, and the street fund will effect
a saving of fully 80 percent on this
repair work.
Only so much of the bonds as are
needed for the work as required will
be sold, the balance remaining unis-
sued until needed. At the present
time the proposed paving district No
contemplates seven intersections,
which will take $1,000 of the bonds
the remaining $4,000 authorized by the
election being held in reserve until
needed for future paving districts.
So long as any part of the bonds are
not issued they will not draw inter
est, and if they are never issued of
1t is simply giving the city authority
to issue bonds for paving purposes
to the extent of $4,000 when need
ed, without calling special election
every time an intersection is wanted
The prime object of calling for more
than required at this time is 10 save
cost of special election, an item of
several hundred dollars.
The third question is answered by
the law of the state, which provides
that where a town of this class paves
its streets, the town as a whole must
pay for intersections. If the property
owners contribute the cost of paving
in front of their premises the city
should well afford to put in the inter-
sections, as the paving is for the whole
public good and for the benefit of those
who use the streets.

W.-Cuts of Meat and
How to Cook Them.

NNEAT is one OF the chief tissue
|" building foods. 1t is also one
OF the foods most commonly
found on the average table
No matter how high the price scars, II
Is demanded at least once day as the
principal dish in the bill OF fare of the
average American family. Until re-
cent years ii was considered almost
essential to life and was the last food
to be sacrificed If n change in the diet
was recommended for reasons of
health. At the present time people
are gradually finding out that meat is
not necessity in any bill of fare.
They are learning there are other
foods which contain quite as much of
the tissue building properties, and
cheese, beans. eggs and nuts are sub
stituted for the meat dish. Still, beef.
lamb. pork. fish, poultry and game
continue TO be favortc foods in many
homes. and one or more of the number
is prepared for the table every day.
Universally used as it is, meat OF all
kinds is the food most often spoiled in
the cooking. or TO make the state
ment little more specific. it is the
food material in which the scientific
principles of cooking should be and are
not most carefully observed.
Composition Of Meat.
Meat is composed of bundles of
muscle fbers bound together by n
filmy substance called connective It's
sue. There are also in all kinds of
meat more or less fat, water and min
eral matter, besides the bone, sinew.
blood and skin. Albumen, Il substance
similar to the white of egg, is found
in the blood and muscle, and this is
the principal prOteid of meat The eX-
tractive. or the flavor of meat, is also
one of its valuable properties. 1t is the
eXtractiveS which give some kinds of
meat, beef especially, a stimulating
value, and they also aid in the diges-
ton Of the muscle fibers. The amount
of tissue building material, or proteid.
averages from 10 to 20 per cent in diff
ferent kinds of meat. and the fat va
ries considerably, from to 60 per
cent, according to the animal and the
cut. Uncooked meat contains large
amount Of water. usually more than 80
per cent.
Meat is cooked to make it more paIa-
table, to develop its favor and to kill
any germs which it may contain. Tn
less very carefully done cooking meat
makes it less easy of digestion. Raw

CHART SHOWING DIVISIONS OF BEEF.
beef finely chopped will leave the
stomach in from two and One-half to
the common method will require from
two TO three hours longer. When meat
is properly cooked the muscle tibers
will be softened and the connective
tissue and albumen will be only
slightly hardened. Boiling meat tough
ems the muscle fibers and hardens the
albumen. In this, then, lies the secret
of the proper cooking of any kind of
meat 1t should always be accom-
plished with a moderate temperature,
below boiling point for stews. fricas-
sees. pot roast, etc.
One fact should ever be kept in mind
when buying meat and preparing it for
the table. This is that it is not neces-
Sarily the most expensive cuts of
meats which are either the best fla
vored or most nutritious. 1t is a mis-
take, common TO both experienced and
inexperienced cooks, to suppose that
when Il really delicious piece of meat
is desired ii must be cut from the por-
terhouSe or sirloin. To be sure, in
many minds, there is no meat quite so
appetizing as pOrterhouse steak, but
even that expensive and naturally
toothsOme cut can be absolutely spoil
ed in the cooking. Equally tue is it
that piece cut from the shoulder or
the flank can be prepared and cooked
in such a way that it will be dish
for the gods and will be relished by
even the epicure who usually casts
his vote in favor Of "T" bone and ten
derloin steaks.
Different Cuts Of Meat.
\ practical knowledge OF the usual
method Of cutting beef, also of the
length and structure Of the muscle
tibers, is almost necessary in order to
insure getting the best pieces of meat
and to determine how they should be
cooked. BY the best pieces one gen
orally means those pieces having the
least bone and the tenderest, juiciest
meat. The woman who seldom II ever
visits the meat market who invariably
gives her meat orders by telephone, is
hoI us likely 10 get cnOlce roast or
particularly good steak as is the wo-
man who, knowing where these cuts
are seated, goes to the market and
makes her own selection. 1t is not an
easy matter to sell poor meat to the
woman who knows almost as well as
the butcher himself the difference in
the amount Of bone in various cuts of
meat. 1t is a simple matter to become
