PREPARING THE CHEAPER CUTS OF MEATS

Summer use the fresh green corn,
cut from the cob), a cupful of lima
beans, fresh, canned, or dried and
soaked, and let the meat, stock and
vegetables cook together for fifteen
minutes. Then put in the solid con
tents of can of tomatoes, a teaspoon
full of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of salt,
a small onion, minced, tablespoonful
of chopped parsley, a saltspoonful of
pepper and stew fifteen minutes more.
Add two tablespoonfuls of flour, rub

UNCLE SANS COOK
BOOK ON CHEESE

BOOK ON CHEESE
Secretary Wilson has just added an
other bulletin to the list of nutrition
publications, or so-called ''cook books
issued by the department and widely
distributed. The latest one is on
Cheese and Its Economical Uses in
the Diet" Farmers Bulletin No.
4SO. Since cheese is one of the i'm
portant agricultural products of the
United States and a foodstuff used in
larger or smaller quantities in nearly
every American home, Secretary VIII
son caused a study to be made and
has published the results of the rela-
tive nutritive value of cheese and the
ways in which it may be prepared for
the table. Although cheese is so
greatly liked, there has been a wide
spread belief that it, is not easily di-
gested and that it is the cause Of
physiological disturbances. Neither
of these popular beliefs is substan-
tiated by the results OF the extended
series of digestion experiments under
taken and just completed by the de-
partment. Indeed, cheese was found
to be very thoroughly digested and as
easy of digestion as a comparable
amount of meat. Supplementing the
experiments as tn the nutritive value
of cheese, many tests have been made
in preparing cheese for the table, the
purpose being to suggest dishes and
combinations of such a character that
cheese might replace other nitrogen
GUS material and fat when desirable,
The bulletin discusses cheese making,
enumerates the more common kinds
of cheese used in American homes,
gives a few sample bills of fare in
which cheese dishes are substituted
for meat, tells how to make home
made cheeses, and gives forty-one rec
ipes for cheese dishes and cheese
sauces, which are certain to prove
very attractive to American house
wives.

salt and two tablespoonfuls of Wor-
.cestershire sauce, and boil up once
before sending to table.
This is as appetizing a stew as I
know and seldom fails to achieve pop
ularity if properly made. OF course
you can buy fresh meat for it, but
that from soup stock answers quite
as well. l know it is the custom t.
say that all the good has been cooked
out of the meat into the soup and if
you used the meat alone it would be
tasteless. But when you put with it
some of the stock in which it was
cooked land season this properly you
get the juice of the meat as well as
the fiber and it is as nutritious as any
boiled meat could be.
Pork Pie.
For this you may buy the cheaper
portions of pork, so long as they are
not too fat. Or if you have had a roast
Of pork the left-overs from this will
answer. If the former are used, cut
the meat into cubes, cover with a
cupful of cold water and stew gently
an hour, or until the meat is tender.
Set it aside to get cold, remove the
fat from the top and put away for
frying. Arrange a layer of the pork
in the bottom of a bake-dish, sprinkle
Isalt and pepper on it and place over ii
layer of tart apples, which have
been peeled cored and sliced. Strew
on this a little sugar and pinch Of
mace and dot with a few bits of but
! ter. Repeat the alternate layers of
meat and apples until the dish is full,
making apples the top layer Pour
over all the cupful OF gravy, which
should have been well seasoned and
thickened a trife with a teaspoonful
of Drowned -four, and put on top a
crust, as described in the preceding
recipe. This pie should bake nearer
three-quarters of an hour than half,

weather.
If you use cold roast pork follow
the same process and have a cupful OF
gravy saved from the roast or made
from the trimmings.
Lamb Brunswick Stew.
Buy a neck or breast of lamb or
any other part suitable for stewing.
The cheap cuts answer the purpose
quite as well as the costlier portions.
Put the meat over the fire with an
onion and a quart of cold water 10
two pounds of the meat and simmer
until tender. Set it aside to cool and
remove the fat which rises to the
top. Add then three large potatoes,
parbuiled and sliced, two cups of can
ned corn, drained from the liquor lin.

Simplicity is the keynote nowadays
in bedroom furniture and furnishings.
This is especially the case in small
city apartments, where there is not
space enough for a regular maid. The
drudgery of house cleaning is thus
lessened, while the general health of
the family is considerably benefited.
In the new bedchamber there is
nothing for mere looks, no useless
bric-a-brac for the harboring OF dust
and possibly Vermin. Yet the hygien-
ic bedroom may still express pretti-
ness, a decided charm. 1t is of two
distinct sorts. 1t has either a hospi-
tai plainness and baroness, or else the
few necessaries used are made at
tractive with coquettish muslin or
cretonne curtains, pretty bedspreads
and dainty bureau tiXings. But all
of these things are washable, for
cleanliness, in the highest sense, is
the chief object of these rooms.
The first move toward the accom-
plishment of a hygienic bedroom is
the removal of the old wall paper. In
many cities this thorough cleansing
of the walls is eXacted by law, as it
| is an established fact that disease
may be transmitted through wall pa
per, and the landlord of the cheap
apartment is only too much given to
putting one over another.
Her walls scraped and the room
fumigated if necessary, the house
keeper next decides whether she will
have a papered room or a painted
one. The last idea is the more whole
some of the two, if the less elegant,
for painted walls can be washed down
every season, and, besides, paint lasts
a good deal longer than paper. If pa
per is chosen it is in light color and
without a distinct pattern. Some
pretty wall papers in shadow stripes
white and faint gray, or white and
cream-are smart and give a sugges,
ton of space. These may have a
floral garland at the top or be put on
without it, The ceiling is calcimined
for both the painted and the papered
room and the woodwork painted
white with a hard enameled finish.
After the weekly cleaning, a rag
dipped in white soapsuds is used on
the painted part of the room with
fine effect
The furnishing of such room is a
genuine labor of love, and happy is
the woman who can buy everything
new that is needed. A white iron
bed, with the top and bottom the
same height and of a solid sort, and
straight chair of white enameled

Some Helps For Housekeepers.
A certain woman had used a gas
range for all her cooking for some
years. But she never thought to slip
a newspaper over the drip-pan under
the burners until friend told her to
do so. She had carefully scrubbed
this drip-pan every morning, for food
will boil over or get spilled, and the
drip-pan always seemed to be dirty.
Now she simply slips the newspaper
out and burrs it, And she doesn't
need to scrub the pan oftener than
once a week, sometimes not even then,
unless a genuine catastrophe has hap
pened.
Newspapers are very useful things

washing it off. and having pan and
dishcloth black.
If greasy pans and pot are wiped out
with pieces of newspaper before wash,
ing, their washing will be easier.
Soft muslin covers that can be
quickly fastened over brooms or long
handled brushes, for wiping up hard
wood floors, or cleaning walls or cur
tains are time-savers. If these are
made so they can be fastened quickly
and securely, they are more economi
cal of time, in the long run, than is

lor's wardrobe can be bought, this be-
ing a smallish, easily moved convent
ence much used at present. In a dou-
Bile bedroom there would be two bach
elor wardrobes placed side by side,
exactly alike and painted white to
match the wood of the room. Twin
beds also, put close together, would
be seen with these, but there would
only be a single bureau of extra size.
Beside each bed, or before the sin
gle one, there would be a bright wash
able rug, one of velvet in French pat
terms, or a strip of carpeting hemmed
to look like rug.

Curtains are of white muslin or
striped white dimity with ball
fringe edge, the bedspread matching
the last material. The French velvet
rugs, which are the smartest in old
pinks or dim blues, have delicate
floral borders and plain centers, and
these admit of a Frenchy touch in the
other fiXings Of the room. With one
or two of these pretty ruRes on the
brightly Furnished floor bureau and
table cover and chair cushions may be
of bright Powered cretonne edged
with ball fringe. The other bureau
accessories also show a French smart

sticks, crystal lamp with a Marie
Antoinette shade and glass bottles
touched with gilt for the perfumes
and toilet waters 1t is quite the ele-
CANT thing to go to bed by candlelight
or by the aid of one with tapers.
A bedroom in Dutch blue is
charming novelty, and this could be
got up quite cheaply. Paint the walls
of the room faint cream and the
woodwork pure white and use the
calico in delicate and white, with a
white ball fringe edge for all the cur
tains, bed and bureau covers and. rock
er cushions. Candlesticks can ybe
found in this color scheme as well as
pin trays and scent bottles. For the
floor use a blue and white rag rug.

which we all like, yet most house
keepers at one time or another are
interested to know about foods which
will take the place of meat. Cheese
naturally suggests itself for such uses
since it resembles meat in food value
and is a savory food. Experiment and
experience have shown that it can be
thus used and that the daily fare may
meet all demands as regards the
nourishment it supplies and at the
same time be economical. This mat
ter is taken up in the bulletin and
suggestions made which should help
the housewife in planning her meals.
The bulletin may be obtained upon
application to the secretary of agri-
culture.

Do any of you belong to the com
pany of housekeepers who think good
meat must always be a choice cut?
Let me tell you of a little experience
of mine the other day
/ bought a knuckle of veal for soup.
1t cost only ten ments and it did not
have very much meat on it. But there
happened to be only three people for
lunch that day | put the meat over
the fire in enough cold water to cover
it with a half onion, sliced, bay leaf,
"a stalk of celery and some parsley,
put the top on the pot and simmered
it steadily for two hours Then | took
out the knuckle, cut the meat from
the bones, thickened a cup of the
broth with a little butter and -four,
stirred into it tablespoonful of mine
ed parsley, seasoned it with salt and
pepper, poured it over the meat in
a hot dish and had as savory lunch
con meat as anyone need wish to eat.
The rest of the liquor was put aside
for soup.
I have told you this at length be-
cause it shows what can be done with
a knuckle of veal, which is often
bought for soup and then thrown
aside, when the stock is made. Here
is another dish | made from my soup
meat This time it was the meat
which came with part of shin of

savory Beef Stew
Put your shin of beef over the fire
in the usual amount of cold water you
would use when making soup from it
and with it have the regular bouquet
of soup herbs, onion, carrot a turnip,
sliced, stalk of celery, a few sprigs
of parsley and perhaps an allspice and
a couple of cloves, and let all simmer
for three hours, Take from the fire
and leave the meat to get cold in the
stock. The next morning take thu
bones out and cut off the meat, divid-
ing it into neat pieces with sharp
knife. Don't chop or grind it. Heat
a cupful of the stock, season it we'll
with salt and pepper and, if it is lack
ing in zest, add little onion Juice,
and a tablespoonful of sweet mario

herbs, even if find the onion juice
is not needed. Let the gravy simmer
for fifteen minutes after you have

HOMEMADE COLD CREAM.

During the windy weather one re-
quires a good, pure cold cream that
can be applied in the daytime without
being noticeable Here is an excel
lent recipe
Take half an ounce each of sperma-
ceti and white wax, with two of witch
hazel and three of sweet almond oil.
Let the wax and spermaceti barely
melt over hot water before adding the
oil. They should only just turn liquid
before being removed from the heat.
Mix in the OIL then with a silver fork
add the witch hazel, drop by drop;
beat to a smooth cream, adding few
drops of any preferred perfume.

and instructing American housewives
in its preparation for the table that
the Department of Agriculture has
issued its bulletin giving the Welsh
rabbit and other recipes.
Before setting forth the recipes in
detail, Uncle Jim Wilson and his spe-
cialists give a few general hints on
the cheese diet They recommend
that in planning menus of which a
cheese dish is the chief feature house
keepers should take pains to supply
also crisp, watery vegetables, such as
watercress, celery, lettuce, served
with a dressing or with salt alone, or
simple fruit salad. They recommend
also that cheese should be served wit
harder kinds of bread, crusty rolls or
biscuit, zwieback, toast, pulled bread
or crackers, or with some of the many
crisp ready to eat cereal breakfast
foods. Brittle cookies are good with
cheese too.
The Departments bulletin gives the
following sample bills of fare in which
cheese dishes are the chief source of
protein and fat supply or in which
they appear as substitutes for meat:
Macaroni and cheese.
Raisin bread or date bread
Orange and water cress salad.
Baked apples. Sugar cookies
Cocoa.
Cheese fondue.
Toast, zwieback, or thin and crisp
baking powder biscuit.
Celery.
Potatoes, baked, boiled, or fried in
deep fat
Peas, or some other fresh vegetables.
Coffee.
Fruit salad with crisp cookies or mer-
ingues.
Clear soup.
Baked eggs with cheese or Boston
toast.
Baked potatoes.
Lettuce salad.
A weet jelly, crab apple or ounce for
example, or a preserve.
Rye bread.
Orange or banana shortcake.
Tea.

cipes of cheese dishes that can be
used as substitutes for meat. The ex
perts give, for instance, thirty reel

Epidemics Of so-caIIed influenza

EPidemics of So-CalIed Influen "a
Since the pandemic of influenza in
lSs9-90, when within one year the whole
civilized world was afflicted with the
contagion, there have been lesser out
breaks at irregular intervals in most
centers of population. These epidemics
OF sore throat and bronchitis have usually
been called influenza or ala grippe, /"
because Of the characteristic contagious
ness of the infection, the persistence of
the symptoms, and the tendency of pros
tratlon and mental depression. But
this diagnosis has not been satisfactorily
confirmed by psychologists. In the
great pandemic, Pfeiffer aud others found
IN the nasal and bronchial secretions
pure cultures of the influenza bacillus
in all complicated cases" Subsequent
reports seem to indicate that the influ-
euza bacillus is common invader of the
air-passages in a large group of other
diseases, notably whooping cough,
phthisis and measles. There is no evil
dence that this bacillus is more prevalent
in the local epidemics of influenza than
in the ordinary atarrhalinfections A
