FOR THE HAMBURG STEAK
Best Method Of Preparing and Serving
the Cheaper Cuts That May
Be Bought.

This name Is commonly given to In.
expensive cuts Of beef chopped, sea-
soned little, shaped into small balls
or into one large thin cake. and
quickly broiled In the way that ten
der steak would be. Owing to the
quick cooking much of the natural fla
vor of the meat is developed and re-
tanned. The fact should be kept in
mind that Hamburg steak must be
made from fresh, well-ground meat. It
is much safer to chop the meat at
home, as chopped meat spoils very
quickly. Much depends, too, upon
browning 1t sufficiently to bring out
the favors. Many cooks think that
Hamburg steak is improved If the meat
Is mixed with milk before 1t is cooked.
In some parts of the country, and
particularly In some of the Southern
states, two kinds of beef are on sale.
One Is imported from other parts Of
the country and is of higher price, The
other, known locally as native beef"
Is sometimes lacking In flavor and In
fat and is usually tougher. Southern
native beef, such as is raised In Flori-
ia, Is almost invariably, however, of
extremely good favor, due presumably
to the feed or other conditions under
which 1t Is raised. By chopping such
meat and cooking 1t as Hamburg steak,
dish almost as palatable as the best
cuts OF the more expensive beef may
be obtained. It such cases, however,
1t is desirable because of the low per-
centage OF fat to add suet or butter to
the meat. The reason for this is that
in the cooking the water Of the juice
when unprotected by fat evaporates
too quickly and leaves the meat dry.
This may be prevented by adding egg
as well as fat, for the albumen of the
egg hardens quickly and tends to keep
IN the juices. The proportion should
be one egg to " pounds of meat.

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise In Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
When baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, In reality, the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate SO ravenously that she fixed a sec.

To Keep Wall Clean.

The best way to keep the walls
of the kitchen white and glossy is to
wash their painted surface with bran
water instead OF soap. Boil one pint
Of bran in a gallon OF water for an
hour. The paint will look better and
keep clean longer when washed with
this than When cleaned with soap or
water.

Panel Arrangement.

The panel angem of the side walls

may be made Of different widths, and the
center field may be chosen from patterns
innumersble, surrounded By one Of many
small borders and topped by friezes OF one
or more units. In these panels there may
be inserted al will separate landscape
medallions.
In these days the frieze has come to be
in many cases the principal feature OF the
decoration rather than the mere border
which it once was. This matter Of frieEss
is the more important because rooms which
are comparatively low are given a greater
apparent height by the use Of simple YER

But one OF the Wkwsrd features about
these plain wall coverings is this, that
where wall and ceiling meet there is a
break that is not altogether satisfying A

Also, to leave a wall entirely without orus-

way to overcome this difficulty is by the
use Of the frieze. Independent Wall paper
