MEAT INSPECTION.

Tho public generally does not know
just why the Federal Government is
inspecting meats in all the large
cities, and why many of the smaller
cities have municipal meat inspec-
tion.
The federal meat inspection, which
employs slni-ii a.my ol ,eLcrlnafy
inspectors, is primarily to establish
and maintain the reputation OF our
export meats and meats for inter-
state traffic.
lack Of all meat inspection is, of
course, the fact that meat Is not al
WAYS wholesome, and may bo dan
geroG5 to human life.
Federal meat inspection does not
cXtond to interstate trade, and for
that reason many cnterprlsirg NUM-
cipulities have established meat in
spection OF their own.
Why the need for local meat in
Spection? l will give you one ex-
emple. Last week beef carcass
was held up by the local inspector,
until laboratory investigation could
reveal the nature of certain little
white specks found all through the
heart and some other muscles. The
butchers spoke OF them as "blisters. -
and suggested that they were not
uncommon and did no harm.
The tact is that there were hun
dreds OF these little spots, and each
one OF them contained the head of a
tape worm. This is the cystic stage
OF tape worm, which affects L.;
human, and this meat eaten without
being well cooked, would mean that
ape worm would surely develop
in tho human from any one of these
cvsts.
We may contract tape worm from
eating either beef or pork that con-
tains the tape worm cysts (measlcy
beef or pork and has not been well
cooked or masticated.
Several people have been afflicted
in this community recently with tape
worms Of beef origin. 1t is not cx-
pected that any meat CT this kind

Coilirs.

the Agricultural College and see what

the case may be. The vaqueros are a
fine-looking lot of men. Tall, thin.
light and loosely made. they look ideal
horsemen-as. in point of fact, they
are, though their mounts are poor.
The vaquero rides very high on a
huge saddle, with long stirrup and
straight leg, using a single rein and
very heavy curb; but he has such
beautiful hands that. although using
this barbarous bit, he never cuts his

SOME TIMELY RECIPES
NEW THINGS 1T WILL PAY COOK
TO TRY.
Lemon Rice and Russian Lemon Pie
Formulas Make Mouth Water to
Read Them-Butter Scotch
and Pepper Sauce.

Lemon Pie.-There are many diff
ferent rules for making lemon pies,
two Of which will give. For the first
beat to cream tablespoonful but
ter and one cupful sugar. Put into
saucepan with scant cupful boil
ing water, then add the juice and
grated yellow rind of two lemons
When 1t reaches the boiling point
stir in tablespoonful corn starch
dissolved in a little cold water and
stir and cook until clear and thick
ened. Have ready the we'll beaten
yolks of two eggs. stir in. cook a
moment longer, then take at once
from the fire. Pour into a we'll baked
crust and spread over it, heaping
lightly, meringue made from the
whipped whites of two eggs and two
tablespoonfuls powdered or fine gran
ulated sugar. Set in the oven, which
should be quite cool, and let the me-
ringue gradually puff and color.
Russian Lemon Pie.-Beat together
one cupful sugar and one egg Put
over the fire, in double boiler, three
fourths cup water and a teaspoonful
lemon Juice. When boiling add sugar
and eggs, the grated yellow peel of
two lemons and soda cracker rolled
fine. Wet two tablespoonfuls flour
with a quarter cupful cold water and
add to the other ingredients. Lastly
stir in large cupful seeded and
chopped raisins. Line two small pie
tins or one large pie tin with pastry
pour in the lemon mixture, put on an
upper crust and bake for about thirty
five minutes.
Butter Scoteh.-Boil together one
cupfui each sugar and molasses, one
half cupful butter. a tablespoonful
vinegar and quarter teaspoonful
soda. Stir frequently to prevent burn
ing and as soon as the sirup reaches
the snap stage when dropped in cold
water take from the fire and flavor
to taste. Pour upon buttered tin in
sheet one-quarter of an inch thick
and when nearly cold check 1t of into
squares, using a sharp knife. Sega
rate when cold and wrap each square
in paraffn paper
Pepper Sauoe.-Grind one dozen and
4 half green, red and yellow peppers
and a small solid head of cabbage in
a meat chopper. They should be very
fine. Add 5 cents worth each celery
seed and ground mustard with vim
egar to make the consistency of cat
sup. This goes well with meats.

SHOWED DESIRED QUALITY
Young Man Obtained the PosItIoa
Because He Was More Persistent
Than Twenty Others.

It is the little things that portray
the boy, or the man, and 1t is these
selfsame little things for which the
employer is constantly on the alert
There was once an employer adTer-
tising for a bright young man. Some
twenty men responded and answered
his perfunctory question as to their
experience and ideas of work.
In turn he took their addresses, but
without coming to any choice. The
young man next in line answered hix
questions no differently from the 9TH
ers, gave his address and had reached
the door when he paused, and quickly
returned.
Il want this job, If it hasn't been
hlied yet" he said, earnestly.
Il have twenty other names here
replied the employer.
That may b true. but I want you
to give me first chance
Why"
Because I have made up my mind
to go into this business, and know
| can succeed in it,
Very well. 1t is yours on trial"
In this case OF the young man who
got his job, it was simply his much
to be desired quality of persistence
that won him instant favor with the

with in short order. Washing win
dows, for instance. is always gone
about in such an awkward way, the
windows being washed in statu quo,
so to speak. A simpler way is to take
the windows out and send them to the
laundry.
Dusting the pictures is also usually
attended with much hard work. A
quick and simple plan is to take hold
of the frame firmly and swing the pic
ture back and forth. hitting It sharply
against the wall each time. This dis
lodges the dust, which falls to the
floor and may easily be swept up.
If you have no vacuum cleaner. you
may improvise one with an old bicycle
pump by attaching funnel to the
nozzle. Then work the pump back

air out 1t will be drawn in. The rugs
may soon be cleaned in this way.
Washing the woodwork is another
futile procedure. Simply get few
