TROUSERS ON EAGLE
PRECIPITATE DISCUSSION
Senators Argue About u. S. Filthy
and Proposition Against Wash

1T should like to see tarred and feath-
cred the artist who engraved our recent
banknotes and put pantaloons on the
American eagle"
Thus wrote a prominent banker OF
Tennessee to Senator MARITIME, protest.
ing against the continuance of the
treasury laundry" wherein bank notes
are washed and returned to circulation.
Senator MARITIME read the letter to the
Senate as sample of 5s7 protests he had
received against the governments cur
rency-washing machine.
Perhaps IL we launder these notes We
may be able to wash the pantaloons on
the eagle" suggested Senator Gallinger.
The burden of these protests was that
washing notes destroyed the distinct
ness of the engraving and made the is
suance Of counterfeits almost impossible
of detection Senator MARITIME, urging
that these protests be printed as public
document. reached into his pocket to
illstrate how notes were damaged, but
found he had none OF Uncle Sans prom
Uses to pay.
Reed Smoot. who opposed circulating
printed copies of these protests at gov
eminent expense, generously offered to
lend Mr.. MARITIME a dollar William. and
started across the chamber, his hand
going toward his purse. Mr.. MARITIME de-
clined the offer. with the statement that
he supposed all Senators knew what the
treasury notes looked like. anyhow.
Senator Gallinger retorted that he knew
only those of very small denominations.
Other Senators agreed with him, and a
general disclaimer of eligibility to the
millionaire class followed. In the end
the document Mr.. MARITIME sought to
print was not permitted. but the agita-
ton indicates that the days Of the treas
ury laundry will soon be over.

MARKET BASKET ADVICE
GIVEN BY DEPARTMENT
Agricultural Experts Tell Consumer
What Part of the Beef
to Buy.

The Department of Agriculture has is
sued statement on the retail buying
of beef" outlining the nature of meat
cuts and their food value, cost, &C, and
1t is stated that ito buy meat intelli-
gently 1t is necessary to know the ma
ture of the cuts, especially with refer
ence to the proportions of lean meat, fat,
and bone they contain and the food value
of meat from different parts Of the car
cass.''
The report gives the cost Of different
cuts of meat and says that from the
figures shown lit is apparent that food
values of beef cuts do not correspond
to their wholesale market prices, and
that the cheaper cuts are by far the
most economical sources Of both lean
and fat meat. and that on the whole the
different cuts vary more widely in net
cost of food ingredients than in market
price per pound of gross meat"
The report adds:
There seems to be no relation be-
tween market prices and the percentages
of fat, protein extractives and ash. The
cheaper cuts appear to be as valuable.
and in some cases, actually more SO.
than the higher price cuts from the
standpoint of protein and energy. These
statements do not take into account the
factors of tenderness nor the influence
the degree of fairness may have upon
the palatability of cooked meat In pur-
chasing meat for protein primarily, the
neck. shanks, and clod are the most
economical cuts; the plate, chuck, flank,
and round follow; with the rump, rib.
and loin as the most expensive. From
the standpoint of fuel value. the flank,
Plate. neck. and shank cuts are the
cheapest, while the rib, loin, and round
are the most expensive. Considering
both factors. protein and fuel value and
along with these the adaptability of the
meat for general use, the clod, chuck,
and plate are the most economical cuts
at the retail prices given
