MEAT BONES.
Many Ways In Which They May 30
Utilized as Nourishinu Food

Utilized as Nourishin9 Food.
One of the food experts Of the United
States department of agriculture says
that almost any meat bones can be
used in soupmaking and II the meat Is
not all removed from them the coup is
better But some bones, especially the
rib bones. if they have little meat left
on them. can be grilled or roasted into
very palatable dishes.
The ''sparerib" Of southern cooks is
made of the nib bones from a roast Of
pork and makes fayorite dish when
well Drowned The praised ribs OF beef
often served In high class restaurants
are made from the bones cut from rib
roasts. In this connection it may be
noted that many Of the dishes popular
in good hotels are made Of portions OF
meat such as are frequently thrown
away In private houses. but which
with proper cooking and seasoning
make attractive dishes and give most
acceptable variety to the menu.
An old recipe for "broiled bones" dt
reefs that the bones Cbeef ribs or sir
loin bones on which the meat is not
left too thick in any part be sprinkled
with salt and pepper tcayennel and
broiled over a clear fire until Drowned.
Another example of the use OF bones
Is boiled marrowbone. The bones are
cut in convenient lengths, the ends COW
cred with little piece of dough over
which a Toured cloth is tied and cooked
in boiling water for two hours. After
removing the cloth and dough the
bones are placed upright on toast and
served. Prepared as above, the bones
may also be baked in a deep dish
Marrow is sometimes removed from
bones after cooking and seasoned and
served on toast.-Pittsburgh Press.
