PRESERVING JUICES OF STEAK
Great Point to BE Remembered When

Beefsteak," in the Woman's Home

the well-known cooking authority, pre-
sents number of recipes and gives
the following general advice about
steaks:
The underlying principle which
governs good broiling is this: One
side of the meat must be quickly scar
ed, the meat must be turned. and the
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
flank end of porterhouse very ten

to cut 1t or before cooking the steak

small beefsteak pie. Cut cut the
tenderloin and reserve 1t to be cook

It is this fascinating problem that Mr.. Riker
discusses in his book ("Power and Control of
the Gulf Stream" published by Baker & Tay
lor). Mr.. Riker is to be congratulated that fear
OF rldlcule, or talk of dreaming and Utopian-
SIN, has not frightened him from discussion of
the highest problems those that will be the
every day working problems of mankind in the
future

in contact with the warm Gulf Stream. bound ON

Inc TWO currents meet at the great banks southeast
of Newfoundland
IL is Mr.. Elkers interesting and daring suggestion
that mole or dixie be built by across the shallow
waters that cover the great banks thus preventing the
mingng OF the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current
Mr. Riker maintains that such dixie could be built
even now by man with his puny forces and
and that such great work would double the value of the
Gulf Stream and greatly increase also the value of that
refrigerating current from the North.
It is not the purpose here to discuss to inorse or re-
flute MIR. Rikers suggestion.
1t may be that the thing could be done even now
Quite certainly will not be done for many centuries
Unquestionably the greatest care and foresight
would be necessary before performing great surgical
operation our planet, such that which Mr. Riker
suggests
Possibly that Labrador Current in its sweep would
be too much for poor New England if it should take il
into its head to rush down in that direction with its lev

This river is the Gulf Stream. It starts in

Starting from the Gulf, the great river of

of France, heats Ireland and the British Islands,
and saves the whole of Great Britain from be-

Carol Livingston Riker has written
book to show that man can control the great
Gull Stream, and by building a mole or jetty
in the right place can increase the value of the
Gulf Stream as heating stream, and the value
Of the cold Labrador current for cooling off
the tropics.
The possibility of controlling the Gulf

9re the appearance of Mr.. Riker's interesting
and valuable book
On September II, 1901 under the heading

over to Cuba, might in the distant future con-
troll England's hot water supply, and sell hot
water to England at so much per bill
