WHY NOT BUY THE
KIND OF MEAT THE
BUTCHER EATS HIMSELF

I'm the Woman's Home Companion 4
retail butcher writes an article enti-
tied Reducing the Meat Bill" in
which he shows how people who buy
the high priced cuts don't get the best
meat. He says that some Of the
cheapest meats are the best He takes
m itemzed meat bill of S463 and
shows Item by item. how that bill can
ne reduced To $3.2l just by using
cheaper cuts which he says are bet
ter cuts. After dealing with the vari-
Gus kind of steaks. in which. by the
way he tells about the steak that the
butcher eats himself he goes ON, as
follows. about roasts ana chops:
"A roast of beef costing u dollar or
collar aud half at the present time
is not much; n hungry and healthy
family viii probably finish it in one
meal. You can still enjoy good roast
beef. and surely for less money, only
puy tho right cut. From past OBJ
servation the writer has found that
line out OF ten customers ask for the
first cut of the rib roast. OF course
hey are the most expensive cuts The
0fth, sixth. and shoulder ribs are hard
" in demand, and the butcher has a
lard job selling them. These end
ribs or shoulder ribs of roast beef are
not only considerably cheaper to buy
Dut are richer in nourishment and
food value. When buying one Of the
three or four ribs Of beef say. for in
stance, weighing five pounds, YOU will
ind that you hardly have sufficien,
meat lett after ii is carcfulp trimmed
ana the bone taken out. The difference
N price between the first cut ON the
rib and the two last cuts IS at least six
tents per pound; ana when YOU ask
Tor a shoulder rib roast, ask the butch
,r to insert a piece of suet in the CEN
ter of the roast, or, If he has time.
10 lard IL with thin pieces Of fat An
other good piece of meat for roast beef
Is the top sirloin, which is not so cheap
hut is recommended because It has no
waste.
THE next important item OH the
meat bill Is chops, either lamb. pork o.
zeal chops. Lamb chops, however. are
the kind mostly demanded. and OF
I curse the demand is for loin and rib
chops, the most expensive There Is
the same solution as with steaks
buy shoulder chops. they cost less and !
are sweeter. This same principle |
again applies to pork chops. The !
shoulder chops are very sweet and |
tender. and the butcher will sell them |
FOR less; but very few people know |
about them"
