KOSHER MEAT
FOR GENTILES
COLD STORAGE INVESTIGATION
CREATES INCREASED PAT.
RoNAGE FOR JEWISH
MARKETS

New York, March 4.-One result OF
the cold storage Investigations has
been, a greatly increased patronage oil
kosher meat shops by gentiles. In the

town nearly all Of the meat markets
sell only kosher, meats. In many othe,
residential localities where there Is 8
sufficient proportion of weI-to-dc
Jewish families there are kosher meat
shops that have not only a large jew
ish trade, but profitable trade with
gentle families also.
The Jewish customers OF these
shops are not as a whole strictly
orthodox. Many of them do not lke

the term, but they would not think of
using meats from any but kosher

1t would take book to tell about
the nice determinations of kosher
living as regards meat foods-the kill
ing of the animal without torture,
the examination afterwards to deter
mine whether it had any disease, the
assurance that it has not been kept
beyond certain number of hours
(about two days) and that the
slaughter was amid cleanly surround
ings For the strictly orthodox the
killing and examination must have
been made by one qualified for that
work

The belief is that germs of disease are
more likely to exist in the blood and
the fat than elsewhere.
A chapter might be written on the
regulations governing 2he use of cook
ing utensils and table dishes and the
eating of one food with or Immediately
following another. There are many
Jews who are not orthodox in their
manner of subsistence, but would not
buy from a. meat shop not kosher un-
less they should wish to cater to their
gentle guests on some special occa-
sion. A liberal minded Jew recently

birthday. The centerpiece on the table

Gentle Patrons.
Once a gentle family has become
accustomed to getting 1T meats from
the kosher shop it cannot relish those
bought elsewhere. In the matter of
beef-all the animals are supposed to
have been killed by kosher butcher
only the fore quarters and part of
the ribs are used. So 1t is impossible to
buy porterhouse, sirloin or round
steak in a kosher shop. Besides, no
beef is supposed to be kosher IL it has
been killed more than two days, and
as the parts of the hind quarters have
to be kept several weeks before they
are considered tender enough for
broiling or roasting the time limit
would bar them from sale in the kosh-
er shops, even if the use of the hind
quarters were otherwise permissible
A gentle housewife can buy in
kosher shop. piece of beef for soup

make soup that could not be made
with meat costing so cents in a shop
that is not kosher The soup will be
stronger and its flavor will be such
that one who has become accustomed /
to 1t cannot relish soup made with
other beef
