PLEA FOR MORE BOILED MEAT
Average Housekeper Is Inclined to Be-
little the Value Of This Method
Of Cooking.

II you scorn boiled beef, either
through ignorance of its nutritiVe
valve or because the cheaper cuts may
be used, here is enlightenment:
One Of the most eminent PHYSICIANS
OF Carlsbad says boiling is by far the
best way to cook meats.
That 1t is most economical, since no
part Of it's juices are lost, and that
flank, a cheap cut, is one Of the best
pieces for boiling, every good house
keeper knows.
TIL family with small income or
even average income should use boil
ed meats instead of expensive steaks
as one Of the first steps toward re-
ducing the cost of living, and It can be
done without robbing the table of
needed nourishment.
Recipe for Boiled Beef-Two
pounds and a half for small family,
or five pounds for medium, should be
selected, the beef removed from butch
ers paper at once, then wiped. The
membrane is then removed, the meat
shaped, stuffed, tied and then skew
cred. Cover with a cloth, place In
kettle, cover with boiling water, bring
to boiling point and cook just be-
low the boiling point Ave or six hours
until tender. Simmered beef would be
more correct term than boiled beef,
but 1t is ordinarily known as boiled
beef.
