Miss Columbia issues a cook book it's supposed to be
the law and the gospel of all good and patriotic cooks.
It comes out with all the power and authority of the
government Of the United States behind it, and it bears
upon its cover the great seal of the department of Ag-
riculture to show that it's the real thing.
This cook book of Miss Columbiais is not a fancy af-
.air. 1t is a practical publication for a practical pur-
pose. After showing that there is little difference in
the nutritive value of the different cuts of butchers
meats, the book takes up, first, the question OF economy
In buying. The juicy, tender cuts OF good flavor sell
% cents a pound, it may be assumed that in town or
village markets round steak would sell for about Is
cents, and chuck ribs, one Of the best cuts of the fore
quarter, for 10 cents. This makes 1t appear that the
chuck ribs are less than half as expensive as porter
house steak and twothirds as expensive as the round.
But apparent economy is not always real economy, and
in this case the bones in the three cuts should be taken
into account. Of the chuck ribs, more than one-half
is bone or other materials usually classed under the
head of waste or refuse" Of the round, one-twelfth
is waste, and Of the porterhouse one-eighth. In buying
the chuck, then, the housewife gets, at the prices as
sumed, less than one-half pound Of food for 10 cents,
making the net price of the edible portion % cents a
pound; in buying round, she gets eleven-twelfths of a
pound fer IS cents, making the net value about 16H
cents; in buying porterhouse she gets seven-eighths of
a pound for % cents, making the net value about 2S1!
cents a pound. The relative prices, tic. c-ore, OF the
edible portions are %, 16h and 2S1@ CEN; or, to put it
in a different way, a dollar at the prices assumed will
buy Az pounds of sold meat from the cut known as
chuck, 6 pounds of such meat from tic round. and
only 81 pounds of such meat from the porterhouse.
The choice of cuts should correspond to the needs of
the family and the preferences of it's members. Care
full consideration of market conditions is also useful,
not only to make sure that the meat is handled and
marketed in a sanitary way, but also to take advan-
tage of any favorable change in price which may be
due, for instance, to a large local supply of some par
ticular kind or cut Of meat. In towns where there is
opportunity for choice, it may sometimes be found more
satisfactory not to give all the family trade to one
butcher: by going to various markets before buying the
housekeeper is in a better position to hear of varia-

Countess Tarnovsky is 80 years old.
She had been noted always for the
charm of her conversation, her ability
as a linguist and her skill as a must
clan, as well as for her physical allure
ment. She is rarely beautiful. Five
feet nine in height, but of a graceful
and supple figure, she is of majestic
poise and carriage. Her g~reen-black
eyes under their heavy lids are soft
and in~sinuating. Her white. smooth
brow is crowned by a mass of brownish
black hair which CLEANS golden-bronze
in sunlight. In a word, the Countess
is a human h~eiroglyph, seeming to re-
flute all theories Of physiognomy. Her
face is not, in any faint suggestion, an
index of her character. She might be
taken for a madonna, but never for q
murderess.

the famous c~riminologist who studied
her, "the Countess actually conceived,
planned and carried out the tragedy

methods show an absolute mastery OF
masculine sentiment, passion and COW

then having another lover dispatch
him so as to prevent him from becom-
ing her accuser is absolutely original.
The crimes of the Borgias and of the
Strozzi offer no parallels.
Her antecedents must have been
very remarkable, for it is unusual for
one of criminal proclivities to plan so
rational a conspiracy that its eXecu-
ton would have been accepted by the
public without question. Had her law-
