Why Not Buy the Kind
Of Meat the Butcher
Eats at His Home

In the November Woman's Home
Companion, a retail butcher writes an
article entitled Reducing the Meat
Bill" in which he shows how peop'e
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 an itemized weekly meat bill of
S4.63 and shows, item by item. how that
bill can be reduced to 1921, just By
using cheaper cuts, which he says are
better cuts. After dealing with the
various kinds of steaks, in which, by
the way, he tells about the steak that
the butcher eats himself, he goes on,
as follows, about roasts and hops:
"a roast beef costing a dollar or
dollar and half at the present time
is not much; hungry and healthy
family will probably finish it in one
meal. You can still enjoy good roast
beef, and surely for less money, only
buy the right cut. From past observa-
ton the writer has found that nine
out of ten customers ask for the first
cut of the rib roast Of course they
are the most expensive cuts. The fifth,
sixth and shoulder ribs are hardly in
demand, and the butcher has a hard
job selling them. These lend ribs or
shoulder ribs of roast beef are not only
considerably cheaper to buy but are
richer in nourishment and food value.
When buying one of the three or four
ribs of beef, say for instance, weigh
ing five pounds, you will find that yoI
hardly have sufficient meat left after
it is carefully trimmed and the bono
taken out. The difference in price be-
tween the first cut on the rib and the
two last cuts is at least SIX cents per
pound: and when you ask for a
shoulder rib roast, ask the butcher TO
insert a piece of suet in the center OF
the roast, or, if he has time, 10 lard
it with thin pieces of fat. Another
good piece of meat for roast beef is
the top sirloin, which is not so cheap,
but is recommended because it has no
waste.
1.-THE next important item on the
meat bill is chops, either lamb, pork or
veal chops. Lamb chops, however, are
tile kind mostly demanded and of
course 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
better. This same principle again
applies to pork chops. The shoulder
chops are very sweet and tender, and
the butcher will sell them for less; Butt
very few people know about them"

A PLAIN SPEECH.

Woodrow Wilson, president elect,
spoke to the Chicago Commercial club
ut the Blackstone hotel last Saturday
night. If his auditors expected to hear
some new thing they must have been
disappointed. He simply expounded to
them the good old doctrine Of equal
rights for all, and told them that every
particle of monopoly must be squeezed
remorsesly out Of every business in
America.
Mr.. Wilson said thut what he is
preaching now he has preached for
many years. In fact he preached it
when boy; but more attention is paid
to 1t now. The country has awakened.
The most striking thing about the
President elect is that he il most fully
alive to and in hearty sympathy with
the modern trend Of political thought
and action. This, with his wise states
manship, makes him Of all men best
fitted for responsible leadership.

TIE RIGHT IDEA.

Editor LUCKNOW of the Baraboo Demo
crat expresses the right idea when he
says:
ITO disseminate democratic doctrine
In Wisconsin, buy extra copies OF
Bryan's Commoner, the Milwaukee
Journal, the Milwaukee News, and pro
gressive democratic newspapers in the
rural districts. and distribute them
among voters who are not in the habit
of reading such newspapers. This plan
would be inexpensive as compared with
the cost of maintaining II state press
bureau, and there would not be any
question about the brand of democracy
disseminated.

A HOPEFUL SIGN,

In trying to Dust toryism from the
Democratic party the Milwaukee Jour
nal is publishing great deal of editor
ial matter which il good for all citizens
to read. Here il II couple of good para
graphs.
"The Progressive Democratic assem-
blymen made brave and inspiring
stand. They saved the party from the
disgrace ana humiliation OF again sub
uniting to toryism. They showed the
spirit and the determination that are
needed to revive popular confidence in
the Democracy OF Wisconsin. The vic
tory that they won Ii the most hopeful
sign that has appeared since the rout OF
Tory Democrats and their Tory Repub-
ican allies in the Democratic state con.
yention held in Milwaukee last July.
1.-The position taken and maintained
by the Progressive Democratic members
OF the assembly gives the Progressive
Democrats of the state II working basis
for the fight that IL before them-a
fight that cannot be evaded. TO GUST

gressive leadership Of the party in the

OF ONE MIND.
reelection

AS Mr.. Wilson pointed out in his
speeches last year. it is hard to distin-
guish any great difference in the
political beliefs, the hopes and aspira
tions of progressive Republicans and
democratic Democrats. On the other
hand there is great similarity in the
utterances Of all who stand athwart
the modern trend of public opinion,
whether they call themselves Demo
Gratis or Republicans. President Taft,
Senator Bailey, William Barnes, Jr.,
and Emanuel Phillip. all talk alike.

for Him or Declare Bond Forfeited.
Chicago, Jan. l5.-Federal officials
seem to be convinced that Jack John
son, the negro pugilist, who was
taken from Canada bound train at
Battle Creek, Mich, was making an
attempt to leave the United States far
behind him. The offense for which
Johnson is indicted under a bail bond
of $4,000 is not extraditable, and
there have been repeated reports that
the black man would much rather
lose the money than stand trial.
This opinion has been strengthened
by the discovery that the baggage of
the negro and his white wife consist
ed of three trunks, three suitcases
and two handbags, This is taken to
contradict his statement that he was
going to Toronto for few days to
consult his old manager concerning
q fight with AL Palzer in Paris.
Not Convinced by Telegram.
1t Is true. Johnson was armed with
telegram from Tom O'Rourke. Pal,
zer's manager, asking for an immeui-
ate decision on this point, but 1t Is
believed the pugilist may have seized
upon this as n good excuse for his es-
cape across the line,
Judge Carpenter refused to take
any action in the case, acting upon
the statement of Johnson's attorney
that he would return to the jurisdic-
ton of the court. 1t is considered
probable, however, that If the feder-
al prosecutors become convinced that
johnson intended to fee, a motion to
quash his bail may be made.
Johnson's lawyer told Judge Carpen-
ter he would have his client in Chica-
80, and the Judge ordered that John
son appear before him.
DeWoody Orders the Arrest.
The detention of Johnson at Battle
Creek was ordered by Charles F. De-
Woody, superintendent Of the depart
ment of justice in Chicago. The fed
eral official telegraphed the chief of
police of the Michigan city upon hear
ing that Johnson had left Chicago
over the Grand Trunk. When the
train reached Battle Creek the chief
of police there boarded the car In
which Johnson, his wife and friends
were riding and took the pugilist into
custody
johnson Immediately got into long,
distance telephone communication
with superintendent DeWCody and
told the latter he had no intention of
staying in Canada or making an ex.
tended trip, and had no thought OF VIC
lating the federal law or attempting
to forfeit his 100000 bond,
Johnson was indicted by the recent
federal grand jury ON several counts
for alleged violations of the white,
slave act. He is also charged with
smuggling jewelry into this country.
