and 1t was at the invitation Of some
friends in the company that he start
ed on the trip aboard the tug. The
Heagan concern has offices at 21S

railroad, was passed on its first read
ing The council has been asked to
vacate the street, which contains
some of the buildings of the old ce=
ment works and which has only ex-
listed on maps, in order to perfect
the title, as the property is about to
be sold. The original owner of the
property which extends from Hart
/ ford street easterly to the Staten
Island sound and southerly to Buck.
! ingham avenue, and which is occu-
pied by the buildings OF the former
cement works, decided in 1875 tc
cut the property into building lots

provided for. The street on the
maps was designated as Water street
and although il has never been ac-
cepted by the city or used as street,
| the filing of the maps with the coun-
| ty clerk IN 1875 made It a city
street. In view of this fact the re-

Mounted Police.
In two previous messages / called
attention to the outlying districts Of
the city, and suggested the appoint
ment of one or more mounted police
men. II the council do not deem IL
wise to increase the police force,
provision might be made for horses,
and some Of those alreadS appointed
detailed to patrol duty in the -outly-
ing districts. We should give equal
protection to all parts of the city.
The citizens, whether in the heart Of
the city or on the outskirts, must
pay taxes at the same rate of taxa
ton.
Speed of Automobiles.
Further l called attention to the
need of one or more motor cycles to
be used by the police department in
apprehending persons who exceed
the speed limit with their automo-
biles. We should not wait until
some one has been killed or mangled
before we make up our minds to let
all persons know that the automo-
bile laws will be strictly enforced.
The only way by which to compel
obedience to the law is to have the
means at hand to make arrests. One
or two arrests and fines will prob
ably break up the speed of automo-
biles through our city.

minutes after the can is opened.
Transfer at once to an earthen or
granite dish.
This prompt emptying of the can
must not be confused with another
process which is just as important but
as different in it's purpose as possible
from the other process.
Pour the contents into a china or
unchipped granite dish. Let the dish
remain uncovered unless there is dam
ger from insects. In that case put
fine sieve or screen high above the
contents, but still covering. The OBJ
ject is to expose the contents to the
air for a time in order to restore the
oxygen which was removed by the
sealing. Any sort of canned goods is
better in taste for this airing. Of
course there should be no high tenn
perature nor should the dish be ex
posed too long. Half an hour is suf-
ficient, especially if there is an occas-
ional stirring of the mass so that the
air can get to all parts.
If these directions are carried out
and every detail of seasoning attended
to there will be no need of complaining
of canned goods. Often it is an i'm
provement to cover vegetables with
cold water and bring it very slowly to
the boiling point and then drain and
cover with fresh water. Experiment
ing for yourself will give you many a
useful idea in the use of these time
and labor savers.

THE CHEAPER CUTS OF MEAT

1 con with care the magazines,
The household columns meet my eyes,
All filled with helpful ways and means"
How best we may economize.
Since food has scared to heights sublime
How apropos is each receipt
Which teaches in this parlous time
The use of cheaper cuts Of meat"
For srloin steak l need not sigh,
From costly chops must desist,
The choice rib-roast forbear to buy,
And on the chuck and shin subsist.
/ thus may save my household hoard
These days when dollars wings are fleet,
And live as we'll as any lord
Upon the cheaper cuts Of meat.
Alas, 1 found this all too true
When 1 to purchase did essay;
The butchers read those pages, too
They've raised the price without delay!
No fruit the frugal counsels yield,
My disappointment is complete.
The bitter truth is now revealed,
There are no cheaper CUTS of meat!
