inexpensive Foods.

All foods are advanced in price so
that the economical housewife studies
food values and prices to give her
family the most wholesome food at
the most reasonable rate.
The cheaper cuts of meat should
take the place of the high priced
steaks and roasts. Very appetizing
dishes may be made from cheap stews
of meat. The bones may be put into
cold water and simmered for hours on
the back of the stove, the meat cut in
small cubes and one-third of it
Drowned in hot fat. then add 1t to the
cut up pieces of uncooked meat, cover
with boiling water and simmer for six
or eight hours, just at the simmering
points, as boiling will tougher the
meat and make it hard and indiges-
tible. Season the meat when 1t is
about half cooked, serve 1T with car
rots, turnips and potatoes cooked in
soup stock after being parboiled in
boiling salted water.
The cuts of meat from the rump
which contains the end Of the hip
bone and the joint is sold for steaks
and roasts. 1t makes nice stews, pot
roasts and mince meat
The chuck makes a good large roast.
1t contains much bone and gristle and
is tough, but it is mottled with TAT
and many prefer it for steaks, as it is
cheaper and when carefully cooked is
most palatable.
The neck is tou,, h meat but juicy
! and of fine flavor. 1t is used in stews,
soups, hamburg steak and for mince
meat.
Oxtails If cooked long at low TEN,
perature make a delicious soup, and
the meat from the bones may be
minced, seasoned and pressed.
The shanks are the fore and hind
legs and are tough and sinewy as to
meat. They are used for soups and
cheap stews.
The round steak is the juicy cut ia.
ken from the upper part of the leg. 1t
contains small round bone and when
the meat is carefully cooked is as
good and tender as porterhouse.
In cooking meats on pan or broil.
er, turn carefully by putting the fork
into the skin or fat, otherwise the
juice will flow from the meat and de.
stroy its flavor.

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of foodi
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is so because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81

wavs to Use Canned Salmon.

Canned meats and fish should al
ways find place in the emergency
closet to be drawn on in hurry
There are so many attractive ways
of serving salmon as hot main dish.
Take a can of salmon, heat it in boil
ing water after opening the can, then
remove all skin and bones and heap in
the center of a platter. Put around it
border of seasoned riced potatoes,
and around the potatoes a thick white
sauce. Set the platter in dripping
pan of hot water in the oven, and heat
until piping hot, then serve.
Salmon chowder is made by brown
ing one small chopped onion and a
quarter of a pound of chopped salt
pork. Add one pint of raw potatoes
cut in dice which have stood half an
hour in cold water. Cover with boil
ing water and cook until the vege-
tables are tender. Then add a can
of salmon faxed, three broken crack
ers and one pint of scalded milk, with
two teaspoonfuls of butter. The

Salmon loaf prepared as for an es.
calloped dish and baked, makes an.
other nice hot dish.
Salmon croquettes may be made Of
the leftover fish and served with a
sauce made of lemon juice, eggs and
butter. Beat half cupful of butter
to a cream, add slowly two eggs and
the juice of one lemon. season with
salt and pepper and add half cupful
of boiling water. Cook in a double
boiler until thick like custard, remove
at once or it will curdle.
A salmon salad served on leaves of
lettuce makes an appetizing salad and
usually we'll liked.
Prepare the salad by removing the
bones and skin, then fake the fish
carefully with two forks to avoid ma.
king it mussy. For the dressing beat
two eggs (whites and yolks beaten
separately, add half a teaspoonful
each of mustard and salt to the yolks,
and continue to beat Then add SLOW

Cook over water, stirring constantly,
and when thick stir in the whites well
beaten. Add a cupful of whipped
cream before serving.

FAVORABLE OUTLOOK
Industrial and Trade Situation Shows
Improvement and Outlook for
Spring Trade Is Good.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S week
ly review of trade says:
With an unusually severe winter
drawing to a close, and with the sub
sidence of excitement in the financial
markets, the industrial and trade sit
uation shows improvement, and the
outlook for the spring season is prom
Using. 1t is an easy matter, of course.
to pick flaws in the situation. Among
these may be mentioned the decreas-
ing excess of exports over imports,
the balance of trade in favor of this
country during the current fiscal year
being the smallest since 1896, and but
for the foreign purchases of American
securities during the recent decline
there would be probably heavy ex-
ports of gold. Then the bond market
is uRfavOrable for large fotations, and
this retards extensive works of con-
struction. The Philadelphia strike is
an ugly development, hurting trade in
that city and injuring sentiment else
where.
The heavy liabilities of defaulting
concerns during February, due, how
ever, chiefly to four very large failures,
is not a pleasant incident. A slight
tendency to a reduction in building
operations is to be noted. There is
also considerable disposition to wait
for congressional legislation and court
decisions before entering upon large
business commitments. But in spite
of those things the fact remains that
there is a big volume of business, at
least closely approXimating normal.
Prospects of an active business in iron
and steel multiply 1t is true that
the recent Improvement in the trade
has been largely sentimental, but it
is believed that several important un-
dertakings will be inaugurated with
the advent of open weather, especially
in structural lines.
The market for cotton goods is
again back to the level preceding the
latest advance and trading is now en-
gagged in with less regard to the cost
Of raw material. There has been a re-
duction in the price to cents, and
four-yard brown sheetings are now
quoted at 6H cents. Somewhat similar
developments are noticed in wooden
and worsted mills.

A baked fish stuffed with the fol-
lowing makes most palatable dish
Take one cup Of bread crumbs, one
fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, one
tablespoonful of capers, one-eight of
a teaspoonful of pepper. one table
spoon of chopped parsley, one table
spoonful of chopped pickle, one table
spoonful of chopped onion, one table
spoonful of melted butter. Fill three
or four pound fish after wiping well
inside and out, dust thickly with salt
and pepper, fill with the stuffing and
sew up, and skewer into the form of a
letter s. Cut three or four gashes
two inches apart in the fish and lay
in small strips of salt pork. Dredge
with -four, place on a strip of cheese
cloth in baking pan.
The cloth removes the fish easily
without breaking. Baste frequently
with butter and water. Serve gar
nished with parsley and lemon and

Trade Rather Backward.
ew Observation-Disclosures saws.

New YOrK.-BradStreetS says:
Spring trade is rather backward in
developing at many points. Weather
conditions, flooded streams and bad
country roads are variously assigned
as reasons for the hesitation shown in
various lines, but back Of all these
there Is an undeniable feeling of con-
servatism because Of the uncertainty
regarding the reception to be given
higher priced products by the ulti-
mate consumer. Recorder trade in
spring goods by iobbers is not espe-
cially large, and business at first
hands is held back pending clearer
views of price matters and crop pros
poets. Collections are widely quoted
as slow and few are better than fair.
