Previous to that time Cornell man

After a mass-meeting Of the wearers

decided TO have a meeting to reconsider

IL voted to withdraw the right given
to wear the &C. and to give

1t Is believed that the council st!ll

The underlying principle which
governs good broiling is this: One

other side quickly scared. This pre-
vents the escape of any of the juices.
Turn almost constantly for the first
minute of the cooking, then the meat
must be cooked on one side, turned
and cooked on the other, to suit in
dividual taste.
The best cuts of meat for broiling
are porter house, sirloin, crosscut OF
rumpsteak and second and third cuts
from top of round Porterhouse and
sirloin cuts, although commanding
about the same price per pound as
the Cross cut of the rump, prove more
expensive on account of the greater
loss IN bone and fat. Round steak is
very juicy, but, having coarser fiber
is never as tender. Neither is the
nank end of porterhouse very ten.
