ECONOMIC USES OF MEAT.

Discussion of the increasing cost
of living has brought to light quite
generally that the cheaper cuts of
meats are more difficult to prepare
for the table than the more expensive
portions of the carcass, due to lack
of knowledge of how they may be
made more appetizing and palatable.
With a view to providing the house
keepers of the country with practical
suggestions along this line, the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
has prepared manual of economy in
meat cooking that contains much val
liable information which will be is
sued free. 1t is known as Economic
Use of Meats in the Home" and may
be had by addressing request to the
secretary of agriculture, Washington
ID. C.
The contents cover variety of sub
jects, including fifty recipes of sa-
worry dishes and much general infor-
mation.-Texas Trade Review.

MADE QUITE A Difference
Stout Man Emphaticaily Declared nc
was Not a Pillow, but upon
Some Occasions

After he had roughly shaken on the
head of the third belated passenger
on the after-midnight train who hao
sought repose on his shoulder, the
stout man proclaimed In voice louo
enough to be heard by everybody IN
the car that the next time anybody
went to sleep with his head pilioWea
on his shoulder he would give that
head good punching, that's what ne
would do.
The stout mans wife said: "Sh-sh'
sh, James. Don't get SO violent
"Violent?" said the stout man. i've
O. right to be violent I'm no pillow
I'm no feather bed If anybody thinks
l am, just let him come on and III
show him."
At the next station two women
came in and found seats near the
stout man. Presently the younger and
prettier of the two began to NOD.
Lower and lower dropped her head,
and soon it found substantial rest
ing place. The stout man sat still;
SO very still did he sit that his wife
wondered what had happened to him
She leaned over and looked past his
bulky frame to find put. Her face
flushed.
"Why, James," she said, Indignantly,
don't you remember what you said
a little while ago about punching
heads? There's a head on your shout

SIS there?" said the stout man
meekly. II hadn't noticed it."
1t was apparent then that If there
was any head punching to be done
somebody besides the stout man would
have to do 1t.

He wriggled uneasily until the head

sOUTH's INDUSTRIAL GROWTH

The south is devolping rapidly. 1t
seems that every line of industry
have thrown off their shackles and are
growing and expanding. Referring
to the wonderful development, the
Dallas News, in a recent issue, says:
There are many styles of indus
trial barometers, and the building
record is probabl ythe most reliable
of all. Bank clearances, opstoffice re-
eeipts, car movements and other phe-
nomena which are used to gauge the
state of prosperity, are more or less
Indicative; but the building record
is less susceptible to transitory influ-
ences than perhaps nay of these. By
this criterion the south is growing
many times as fast as the country as
whole. We printed the other day
an abstract of building operations for
April, and this showed that, while the
increase for the entire country was
eight per cent compared with the OPP
erations for the same months last
year, Louisvillee was the only south
ern city among those named whose in
crease did not exceed that percentage
The average for the southern cities
named in the abstract was an increase
of something more than 100 per cent.
The lower Pacific coast country seems
to have been close second. The
forces of industry, in other words,
seem to We converging toward the

A STEVENSON STORY.

Austin Strong, grandson of Mrs
Robert Louis Stevenson, tells story
about the author CT "Kidnapej.'
When Mr.. Strong was little chap
Stevenson liked to sit propped up in
oed to watch him at play in the next
room. And often it happened that
the bigger boy Of the twu would make
su2g. s:ions fer the make believe
games and insisted that they be car
ried out, too. One day Austin had al
ranged some chairs in a row, playing
that they were ships, and he, stand
ing on the front, was the captain. For
a long time he proudly walked the
deck of his vessel, encountered pi-
rates and weatherd all kinds OF
storms. Stevenson looked on IN per-
feet silence, but complete absorption,
no doubt playing the whole thing
much harder of the two. Finally Aus
tin got tired of his vessel, climbed OFT
his chair and began walking across
the room to some object which had at
tracted his interest. This was too
much for the invalid. Still deep in
the game, Stevenson rose in his sick
bed and shouted excitedly at the re-
calcitrant sea captain, "Swim-you
swim!"- Exchange

very similar TO the league that the
bicycle riders had when that sport
was in its prime. In way the new
organization will be 10 all intents and
purposes an amateur affair only that
cash prizes will be given instead or
medals. There are SO many good am
ateurs before the public now that they
can hardly make both ends meet
They are allowed but expense money.
while the halls and fields al which
they compete are packed with people
who paid TO see them perform. There
is only one alternative for them-eith-
er they MUST retire from athletics or
lose their amateur standing. With the
Cash Prize league ali this will be
overcome and II will induce many
