CHEAP CUTS OF MEAT
PALATABLE AND NUTRITIOUS, IF|
ONLY PROPERLY PREPARED.
Some Directions Here by Which the
Good Cook May Easily Cut Down
the Cost Of Living Without
lmpairing Menu.

Meat may be rather tough and OF
coarse fiber and yet contain more
actual food value than cuts that are
more tender and much higher In price.
But on account of the tougher fiber,
ignorance or carelessness on the part
OF the cook and the deplorable habit
OF swallowing food much after the
manner Of the reptiles we find these
parts OF the animal more difficult to
digest and therefore condemn them.
The good cook, however, will give the
preference to the so-called cheaper
cuts and parts of meats, as she knows
that with them she can develop a
variety of davors that will charm the
taste at each separate meal even
though the same kind Of meat be
served.
Meat Loaves and Molds-These,
when skilfully prepared, are delicious
and served hot with good gravy or
sauce are preferred by many to a
roast joint, and when sliced cold are
far more tasy than a roast that has
had it's juices dried up and the flavor
dissipated.
Veal Loaf No. Chop three and a
half pounds Of raw veal very fine, US
ing wooden bowl and chopping knife
as the meat chopper does not answer
SO well for raw meat. Add slice OF
salt pork and chop with the veal, six
crackers, rolled fine, or the same
quantity of bread crumbs; a piece OF
butter the size of an egg, salt. pepper,
powdered sage or other savory to suit
the taste and two beaten eggs. Mix
all thoroughly together and pack
tightly in deep oblong tin. well but
tered. Pour some melted butter over
the top, cover with more crumbs, and
put another tin, or buttered paper.

moderately hot roasting oven. I'm
cover and bake the top brown. This
may be served hot or cold, cut in
slices.
Veal Loaf No. 2-Take any pieces
Of cold cooked veal; pound Of fresh
pork and chop very fine. Add htch-
en- spoonful of bread crumbs, little
minced parsley, large onion minced
fine, salt and pepper to taste, a dash
Of cayenne, and half cup of cream
or milk. Mix thoroughly and pack
closely in a buttered bread pan. Lay
q bay leaf and large slice of fat salt
pork on top and bake about forty-five
minutes. II served hot, make to-
mato or mushroom sauce to serve
with it. A brown sauce made of a
few slices OF Calls liver fried nicely
and calls kidney cooked the same
as chicken gibdets makes a nice rich
sauce to serve with veal loaf or
croquettes.
lMarbled Veal-Take any piece of
cold cooked veal; season to taste and
pound in mortar or in chopping bowl
with wooden potato masher. Moisten
with little worcestershire sauce or
tomato catsup. Skin cold boiled

cuckoo,a First Call.

In the spring the cuckoos first call
Of the season formerly played a great
part in love divinations. A common
English belief was that an unmarried
person hearing cuckoo call and i'm
mediately taking OF boots and stock
ings would find on the great toe Of
the right foot hair. whose color
would be that Of the poll Of the
destined lover. Another idea, men
toned by Milton. and persisting till
this day, was that an unmarried man
or maid would remain single for Just
as many years as the number OF the
cuckoo's calls when first heard IN the
spring.

other articles, and then took a head

The Word Yankee"

The origin of the word Yankee
has been variously explained. Some
authorities think it is a corruption OF
the word English, as it was pro
nounced by the American Indians who
called the white people "Yenghies.'
1t seems first to have been applied to
the British soldiers about 1775, as a
term of reproach to the New England
ers who afterwards adopted it them
selves.
Others hold that Yankee is cor
ruption of Jankin, or John, nick
name given to the English colonists
OF Connecticut by the Dutch settlers
OF New York. The song Yankee
Doodle was originally "Nankee
Doodle" and was applied to Oliver
Cromwell.

Bond Issue for Sewer Extensions

In referring to the anticipated re-
port Of appraisers of the Shreveport
WalerWorks plant which has been
delayed, says:
cone or two other propositions
may also be submitted at the same
time, one of them being a bond is
sue for extending the sanitary sewer
system to include the southern and
western residence sections of the
city and that part Of West Shreve-
port and Allendale not already sew
ered.'
The city has no authority to issue
bonds for the extension of the sewer
system. The Caucasian has made
this plain, very plain. AS provided
in the contract Of the Waterworks
Company and the city, the Water
works Company is obligated to ex-
tend its water pipes and its sewers
whenever outlined by the city. If
'.he sewer, system has not been ex-
tended when it has been needed, the
responsibility must rest with the
City Council.

\ Peculiar Proposition.

mere WAS presented to The ponce
sion h"lI Thursday the proposition
which il brief is, t!lat $4,000 of city
bonds b. purchased for account oI
HE parish. with which money the
city would be enabled TO pave the
unpaNpd sections of streets 10 con-
meet With the good roads Of Caddo
Parish.
At a glance this proposition is
attractive and enticing, but that it
was suggested and offered dellbcr-
ately is surprising
The Parish of CaddO is without
authority Or money to invest II
bonds.
The current and general expendi-
lures Of the parish are predlcated
on the revenue obtained from taxes.
In the budget, fixed annually, there
is specified how the revenues OBJ
tanned shall be apportioncd and
paid from the several funds.
The parish has no reserve If the
revenues collectable from the tax
payers should exceed the expendi-
lures, there would follow a decrease
in the rate of taxation.
The proposition has been referred
to the finance committee whose re-
port may be anticipated
This query is pertinrnt: Why was
not such proposition submitted to
the Traction Company?
This company has recently ac-
Guired from the city concessions in
| he extension Of their several fran
chisns and The llsn Of strecls- esDr-
cialIy The Greenwood road, which
are equivalent to hundreds OF
Thousands Of dollars and from
which The city has derived not d
penny. a.
# the Traction Company Were
dlsinclncd to rcciprocate, why not
have tried the Caddo Levce Board
whose source of revenue from oil
royalties, is steadily on The III
crease?
And if the city failed in such a
deal With The Caddo Levre Board
why moi seek the banks Of Shreve-
port, and there being four, each
could take their share of The bonds
IT would seem lhat if the city had
exercised practical forcthought Tho
paving Of the streets should have
been extended to the corporate line
OF The parish.
