For roasts either of these cheaper
cuts should be parboiled. then
roasted brown in the oven with
dressing and whole potatoes.
Few women need to be told about
pork, for to American women pork
is just as good as roast beef is to
the English, and most of them
know how to cook it, This, how
ever, is true. The shoulder is the
portion Of the pig which is cheapest
and most difficult for the butcher
to sell, and yet it makes a most de-
licious roast. II is fat. of course,
and much Of this fat should be
trimmed off and rendered by the
housewife, to be used later for fry
ing. After trimming, cash in a num-
Der of places with sharp knife,
and put into each cash a thin slice
of spicy apple. Stick a few cloves
here and there into the roast,
sprinkle a little flour and powdered
sage over the top. then roast with
dressing and sweet potatoes.

GRATITUDE SHOULD BE SUB
sTAkTiAI.

Ii goes without saying that the peo-
pie OF Newport News owe William c.
Stuart and r. Al. Lett a debt OF graf
itude for the fine support they have
given Commonwealtn's Attorney
Berkeley in the prosecution OF the in
surance case. Tie public Is crate
ful, AMI a few. perhaps many, of the
more thoughtful win make it their
business to tell Messrs. Stuart and
Lett so. But our gratitude should
take a more substantial form than
mere words of concentration. These
men. whose time Is worth much TO
them, have worked in court for weeks
and out of court for many weeks
more for the commonwealth of VIr-
ginia generally and the people of
Newport News particularly. They
have assisted the commonwealth's at
torney Just as ably and just as enef
getically MS they could have done had
they been regularly retained with
handsome fees. Thousands of dollars
spent IN importing distinguished at
torneys from the outside would no,
have brought the commonwealth more
effective service. -
The conduct OF Messrs. Lett and
Stuart was fine and money alone can
not compensate them fors what they
have done for the community. But
the city should not permit them to
give so freely OF their time and tai
ents without any monetary compensa-
ton whatever. The city cannot afford
perhaps, to pay such fees as the in
surance companies paid for couns ei
to defend their representatives, but Il
should pay fees some where near in
keeping SRith the service performed.
