of the Steel City

Leona Dixon, a little negro girl about
s years old, was run over by a South
Ensey electric car between Palmer sta
ton and Tuxedo junction and probably
fatally injured yesterday afternoon about
4:45 o'clock.
Ii seems the child was about to cross
the track when some one called to her to
wait till the car passed. She hesitated
momen. and became excited and got on
the trac.: In front of the rapidly APP
preaching car.
Motorman Troutman, in charge of the
car, Immediately applied the brakes, but
owing to the steep downward grade the
car was unable to stop. It struck the
child and passed over her. The fact that
the track is six or seven inches high is
what saved her from being cut to pieces
She sustained a number of severe bruises
about the body and face and had a cash
at the back OF the head. She was taken
to the Cunningham hospital in Echols &c
Angwins ambulance.
In addition to her other injuries IL js
thought she is internally injured, and her
recovery extremely doubtful.

The Secretary Of Agriculture's cook
book is out. In it Uncle jim Wilson
through his experts, tells the country how
to make the poor cuts of meat taste as
good as the best, and also how to get
just about as much nourishment from
them
The experts who prepared the cook
book are c. F. Langworthy, Ph. D, and
Caroline L. Hunt, A. B. They have found
that the cheaper cuts OF beef, such as
the brisket, the chuck rib, tie flank. and
the neck are Just about as rich in the
substances which build the important
tissues of the body as are the porter
house and slrloin steaks. For instance.
in chuck rib there is 10 per cent of pro-
TEN. as compared with only g9 in a
poTterhouse steak.
Also in regard 10 the flavor OF meats.
the departments cook book says there is
a general misapprehension Of the fact
Most people believe that the expensive
meats are the best hatored. while. IN
reality, cuts on the side OF the beef are
often richer in extractiyes which produce
the flavor than the higher priced cuts.
owing to the difficulty of mastication."
says the cook book. this fact frequently
is not detected"
The Secretary's experts find that there
Is a good deal Of unnecessary waste in
the average home in treating the fats
that come on high-priced cuts of meat.
The loins and ribs OF beef. for instance.
contain from 20 10 25 per cent OF fat.
Instead of being thrown out into the
garbage can. this, according to Secretary
wilson cook book. ought 10 be utilized.
Use Fat Instead of Butter.
IF butter is the fat used in making
erusts for meat pies and In preparing
the cheaper cuts" says the official cook
book. there is little economy involved.
The fats from other meat should there
fore be saved, as they may be used in
place OF butter in such cases, as well as
in preparing many other foods. The fat
from sausage or from the soup kettle or
from pot roast, which is savory be-
cause it has been cooked with vegetables.
is peculiarly acceptable"
The department gives minute instrlIc-
tons as TO the best process for trying out
and clarifying fat, and for making the
drippings savory.
Uncle Jimmie Wilson's experts are
strong on gravy. They think that no
chance should be overlooked to utilize
The gravy. Also they recommend greater
use Of bones. Almost any bones can
be used for soup. they say. and especially
the rib bones. If they have a little meat
eft on them, can be grilled OF roasted
nto very palatable dishes.
In this connection 1t may be noted"

the hereditary right TO legislate, which
has been a cardinal element Of the British

the house agreed that reform and re-
