EFFICIENT
Meat Values
By HENRIETTA d. GRAUEL
domestic Science LectureT)

Beef is the best former of all foods and the most valuable of our
meats. But, here 1t is straight from the eleaver, women s9ldom choose
the best cuts of beef for their W use
This is why nine-tenths of them usually call for tenderlotn or
porterhouse steak and ignore the lower-priced pieces and with the same
breath In which they ordered their meat, deplore Its cost
When women come to know that there RI parts of meat equally
tender as siroin o. porterhouse, prices Will. lower. 1t Is no more work. TO
prepare the cheaper meat than the expensive, but a long a women IN
st that there are only three or four cuts suitable for the table fn the
whole beef, good round prices will continue to be the rule.
On the butchers counter lie two pieces of beef-one is a tender
steak, the other a long shoulder roast Each is about forty cents
The steak weighs two pounds, the roast three.
The steak will serve four persons with small portions; the roast
will make eve generous hepngs-yet nine steaks are served to every
roast. The answer? Steaks are easier to prepare.
Some persons think they cannot afford fuel to bake meats ut
there are many foods that may be cooked In the oven at the same time,
and with the same heat. These are baked dishes-baked potatoes, baked
beets, beans, breads and many of the wel-Iiked new combinations made
in the casserole.
There is still another argument for baked meats and that is that
more of the goodness and nutriment of the meat Is retained than when
4. is cooked owe the fire o a broUer, OF in water.
Small families are the rule in cities and some women think a
steak is economical because there Is non left over. Such women need
to acquire more culinary skill The fine daintfes of French cookery
that we hear praised 10 frequently arr Made dishes" That is they
are made from partly cooked Or leftover parts of the French cuisine.
Only a genuine amateur would turn up her nose at a fine piece Of
cold roast beef.
and beef croquettes do not appear oftener IN our tables is that it is
SO very seldom cold meat is left over
Try buying six pounds of shoulder beef with u large piece Of suet
in place of a steak, next time, and make it into a Chicago Pot Roast
it falls apart when touched and there is only a little dark brown gravy
left in the bottom of the pot.
Dish the vegetables. then the meat. Add -four to the gravy, after
strainfng 1t, and milk IT water. You will have a delicious dinner.
your sirloin steak, n what you will. On the day following resurrect
your cold roast. Don't call it Poor Creature for you will soon be
proud of it.
Cut the meat in small pieces, add one small onionc cut in bits and
a rich pastry. "Oh," you say, "A meat pie, but always buy pork for
that" You never will again for it is finer made with cold pot roast

FIRST YEARS MOST IMPORTANT
Physically and Mentally a Child Is
Nodded for It's Future Life In
Che Nursery.

Care should always be taken that a
baby's finger nails are cut carefully,
though he should not see the scissors
if possible, as ne may be frightened
and shrink away from them. The nails
should be cut straight across, SO as to
prevent any tendency to grow inward
and thus become painful, whether on
the hands or feet.
Simplicity Of thought and life Is the
keynote of health in childhood. The
more animal an existence the child
leads in his babyhood the better he
will be In the end. The less he knows
before seven the more he il likely to
know after seven, say many doctors,
and forcing is the very worst thing
hat can be done for him. The perv.
Gus system Is the point of least re-
sistance in most children. For this
reason It liz Of the greatest Importance
that the child be kept from nerve
strain.
Don't threaten q child with any
fearsome person, such as a DOGGY
man" or the policeman. Obedience OBJ
tanned under such conditions is not
real obedience, and it is dread only
that maintains discipline In the nurs-
cry where such legendary terrors hold
sway. 1t does an immense amount of
harm to children to threaten them In
this way, and puts fear into their
heads. Fear and childhood should
have nothing in commissioning.

WITH OR WITHOUT TUCKs IN BAND At
LOWER EDGE.

Empire frocks are nearly an avs be-
coming t very little girls. The ~illustra-
ton shows an unusually attractive one
of that sort that is quite dressy without
being over-elaborate. Fine nainsook is
combined with lace banding. Groups Of
tucks and rows of banding give the long
lines that are so pretty. The bands Of
insertion that extend across the front and
back and down each sleeve give breadth
to the little figure. The neck is square
and the sleeves are finished a little above
the elbows. The trimming band at the
lower edge can be finished with tucks
as on the figure Or it can be left plain.
Lawn, dinlity, batste, null and all
similar materials are good for the design.
The lace banding is exceedingly pretty
but embroidered Swiss banding would be
equally dainty. The sash is a very pretty
feature. Openings are cut at the edges OF
the banding and the sash is passed in and
out and over the back and tied in a pretty
bow at the center back.
For the 2 year size, the dress will require
rs yards of material 80 or n yards "A

August Sommerfield, ar inventor, has
perfected and patented an invention en-
abling him to walk across the Missis-
sippi as radiply as a pedestrian could
make his way across Eads bridge.
Somrnerfield has spent many weeks on
the Mississippi n on Creve Occur

~life-savlng.
The invention consists OF a canvas
covered pneumatic tube that is pumped
up like an automobile tire. It fits I'M

by a belt around the vast and straps
over the shoulders.
Used in connection withat a webbed

the wearer of the air belt Is able to
walk as rapidly as though OF land.
He has experimental with it as an aid
to duck hunters. There Is but little
recoil from a heavy shotgun fired
while the hunter Is poised In the water.
The invention was suggestion to
Sommerfield by the sinking Of the IT.
