BOON TO THE SLENDER PURSE

II Is as true as 1t is piteous that
"the poor is destroyed by his power
ty." Strength and competence, the
high roads of escape from poverty.
depend primarily on health, which In
turn depends so much upon food. For
these many, many years 1t has been
patent that many Of our fellow Great
ures have been handicapped In the
race of life by improper food or the
improper preparation Of cheap food
that would be health-giving in ample
quantity if prepared properly for the
palate.
There is opening now an avenue of
possible escape. mean the paper
bag. BY its help, the cheap cuts
which alone are within the compass
of slender purses, may be cooked in
such fashion as yield the'last grain
OF nourishmert they contain, and be
bettered in the process. Further,
they will sauce and season much
other cheap food-stuff, thereby dou-
bling or trebling its dietetic value.
This can be accomplished through
the medium Of stews.
Meat for stewing may be bought at
the lowest current prices-fank, neck
scrag, shank-it is all the same to
the bag. Have care In cutting 1t up,
that no sharp bones are left project

after cutting up, dry with damp

the vegetables, thrusting in among

reduce the heat one-half, and cook
from two to three hours, depending
on the bulk. Take up in a deep dish,

The proportion of vegetables to
meat may be three to one, or even
four to one, If there is plenty of extra
fat.
Stew Without Meat.-Try out two
ounces OF suet, taking care not to

onions sliced and soaked half an hour
in salt water, also pieces of tart ap-

layer lightly as you put it in, remem-
bering always that salt and pepper
can be added, but can not be taken
away. Add bits of butter also if YOU
want the stew very rich. Add at the
very last half gill of stock, or milk

Of LARGE Families

Experiments lust completed in Lon

those born later. This discovery means
much for the people 81 the United

years has been O. keep down the size

both mentally and physically The ex-
periments referred tO showed that
most OF the defects. such az insanity
tuberculosis, criminalty. and such
things. in the average family are pos
sessed by the first and second born
child.
The size of families IA England has
shown q decided decrease. and this is
attributed 10 the passage OF stringent
child labor laws generation OF so ago
Those laws kept young children from
being sent 10 work in factories. The
working people who depended on the
earnings OF these children could not
afford 10 maintain the large families
formerly so common. and there was in
consequence % falling of in the birth
rate.
