TRY CHEAP CUTS or MUTTON AND PORK

30 minutes is up, when it will be
done. Then serve the pot pie on
a deep platter garnished with
mint or parsley.
For roasts either of these
cheaper cuts should be parboiled,
then roasted brown in the oven
with dressing and whole pota-
toes.
Few women need to be told
about pork, for to American wom-
EN- pork is just as good as roast
beef is to the English, and most
Iof them know how to cook it.
This, however, is true. The
shoulder is the portion of the pig
which is cheapest and most diff
cult for the butcher to sell, and
yet 1t makes a most delicious
roast. 1t is fat, of course, and
much of this fat should be trim
med off and rendered by the
to be used later for
frying. After trimming, cash in
a number of places with sharp
knife, and put into each cash
thin slice of spicy apple. Stick
few cloves here and there into
the roast with dressing and sweet
potatoes.

ldcOMa, Jan. 20 l9lU.
Editor Times:
1t seems to me, and also to a
great many others with whom l
have talked, that this salary boost
of city employees is very unjust
piece of business. Some time ago
] noticed in the Times an article
from the Navy Yard at Bremerton
in which 1t was decided to raise
the wages of several classes of
workmen, but before doing SO
the officials sent out men to visit
the different cities and towns in
the Sound country to find out as
near as they could what the aver
age wages were as regards these
different classes of workmen,
and the advance In wages was
reckoned from the reports of
these men. It shows that the Of
ficials at the yard realize that 1t
Is the peoples money that they are
using, and that they are going to
pay the standard wages, but no
more or les.
Don't you think It would be a
good idea for the honorable (?)
city council to copy after these
gentlemen. I believe in every
man getting all he can, but do
not believe IN spending the peo-
pls's money foolishly. Think Of
city Iaborers trying to get $3.50
for eight hours work. Can you
show me any corporation in the

Women eat, dress, lace, spend
and primp too much" says Miss
May Morris of England, to Ameri-
can women. And Miss Morris
really is in a position to say be-
cause she issan absolute authority
on the estheticism of dress, just
as was her father, the great VIM.
Morris, who created the wide
spread craftsman movement be-
fore his death, in 1895.
"In the six weeks rye been in
this country, have discovered
that the women here seem to think
that to be we'll dressed means to
have an hourglass figure and to
wear any sort of dress that hap
pens to be in style, without regard
to the person inside the dress.
Simplicity should be the keynote
of woman's everyday apparel. She
should only blossom out in MAR
velous creations at functions.
Even the girls who work here
are busy copying the women =,
carriages. If they only knew 1t,
they would look far better in a
simple gown fashioned themselves
or by dressmaker under their
direct supervision than in any
other kind. A woman looks ut
terly foolish walking in a dress in
tended for the drawing room.
"The women here all lace too
They think 1t makes them
more beautiful. 1t does not. The
long, flowing lines that nature
gave them are much more artistic
and much more appealing.
