HOW TO SERVE LAMB
SUGGESTIONS THAT MAY BE NEW
TO HOUSEWIVES.
Preferences Of the Family Are, OF
Course, the First Things to Be
Considered--Best Method Of
Utilizing the Broth.

you know l said the other day that
! had some good recipes for neck and
breast of lamb" Mrs. Happy Home
maker opened her manuscript cook
book" and proceeded to read:
The neck may be used for various
kinds of stews. The neck cut In small
pieces is boiled with onions, turnips.
and carrots, and when almost done
add half a cupful OF -four made into q
thick, creamy paste with milk. let
this boil with the stew for ten min
utes.
"Or use this recipe: Put the pieces
OF lamb into frying pan with melted
butter, and turn until the pieces are
a light brown; then pour into stew
pot with two or three large tomatoes
Tor can of tomatoes ifsthe fresh ones
are not In season., an onion, and q
few carrots. When this Is served 1t
makes an appetizing addition to circle
the dish with boiled rice.
THE breast may be used as roast
with Drowned potatoes and vegetables,
and served with sauce OF tomatoes.
''But this is the way the family likes
It best. Take the lamb bones, which
the butcher will take of the forequar-
ter in boning 1t for you, and to these
add the breast, putting all into pot
to boil with one onion, one large car
rot, couple OF potatoes for thicken-
ing, and two tomatoes for flavor.
When the breast is thoroughly cooked
carefully take out all the bones so as
not to break the meat. Press the
meat between two large plates, with q
weight on top SO that the meat may
be nodded into an even roundness.
This may be served cold with gar
nishing of lettuce and cold vegetables,
with salad dressing. and is delicious
hot day luncheon dish. Or the mold
may be cut into slices and fried In
bread crumbs.
'The broth which is made from the
liquor in which the breast has been
cooked is very rich; add little bar
ley or rice and you will have whole
some and ample supper for the little
folks.
TN buying q shoulder of pork ask
the butcher to bone 1t for you, then
tie into q round roast so 1t will keep
its shape. Rub we'll with salt and pep
per, and a little thyme or sage, too,
gives pleasant flavor, and roast In a
medium hot oven. II you do not use
self-basting rooster, the meat should
be basted often. A shoulder Of pork
weighing eight pounds takes about 40
minutes to cook. This may be served
with apples baked in the same pan, II
an open roaster is used or with apple
sauce."-Kansas City Star.

FOOD WORTH MUCH STUDY
No Other Problem Can More Worthily
Engage the Attention o. the Moth
or on the Farm.

What could be q woman's problem
on the farm that was not q womaA's
eternal problem everywhere and any
where. Home economies or the ne
lection, use and preparation OF food.
clothing, shelter and household man
agement, and how can this problem,
or any other problem. for that matter,
be solved except through study or cd.
ucation? And yet SO little has been
thought Of the home problems that
more money Is spent year by year for
teaching the men how to fatten steer
or pig than to teach a mother how to
care for her babe or feed her superior
animals-the men Of the family. writes
nj. e. Barrett Of the Texas experiment
station. Visit any farm you please
and you will be shown the fine pigs
and calves. goats or sheep, but never
word OF the baby or its nursery
I've even seen kindergartens for colts
to train them In their stunts, but
never home garten for tho children.
/ believe you will all agree with me
that food is the first problem. To
load your table down with vege
tables and meats Is not treating your
child as your husband treats his pig
baby. He Is carefully balancing the
rations for the pig for growth, and
that of the horse for energy. and that
OF the cow for milk. Neither Is he
working all day long on the three
meals day for his animal family.
Now here Is where education comes In
again, to cut down the work Of those
three meals In quantity and make II
count in quality, to take less time and
more thought. Try q fireless cooker.
Get q bulletin on balanced rations and
menus from the university. Then. In
the cool OF the afternoon, prepare your
vegetables and meats for next day; al
breakfast bring them to boil and put
in the hot rock and close up the din,
ner. This will save you from one TO
two hours on dinner which can be
spent In further study ON the subject
of food values.

4 CERTAIN lady in big Ameri-
can city was once heard to re-
mark that she had lived for
three years in Mandalay An
other in the same room said,
with evident surprise:
"Is Mandalay really a place? l
thought it was just in song!"
Mandalay is not only real city but
an extremely interesting one, which
no tourist to Oriental lands can afford
to miss. 1t is the bulwark of Buddhism
in Burma, and the most truly Burman
city that can be found.
A lively American sight-seer can
do" Mandalay in two or three days,
but more time could we'll be employed.
A pleasant trip for the first afternoon
is one TO the Arakan Pagoda, in a
suburb called Shanzu. Mandalay deals
in superlatives, and in this pagoda is
q figure said to be the largest brass
image in the world. Except for the
face, 1t is completely covered with
gold leaf Among other curios are
queer armed figures and three-headed
elephants in steel. These we're
brought from Arakan at the time of
the British occupation, and after
rather varied history finally found a
resting place here. In recent years
this pagoda has acquired much fame
as the temporary repository Of the re-
puted remains of Buddha.

Meeting of the District Fed
Grafton of Clubs

Through the untiring efforts
of the president of the Mutual
:, Culture Club, Mrs. Frank Spight,
the district federation meeting
was held in Tupelo. embracing
only one day, Saturday, March
27.
The sessions were held in the
Comus Theatre and were fairly
we'll attended.
Promptly at the appointed
time, 10 o'clock, a M. the body
was called to order by the dis
trict president, Miss Blanche
Rogers, of New Albany. Seated
on the stage with her were Mrs.
j. H. Price, of Jackson, state
president; Mrs. Babb, of New
Albany, recording secretary;
Mesdames Houston and Small
wood, of New Albany; Miss Lin
ME Bancroft, of Tupelc, and the
officers of the Culture Club.
After the invocation by Miss
Bancroft, routine business was
speedily dispatched, and in the
reports it was erl lying to
know that ten federated clubs
were represented personally, and
reports from others read.
When Miss Rogers introduced
the state president, Mrs. Price.
she remarked that not in her Of
fetal capacity would she speak
of Mrs. Price, but as ''our warm
hearted president" and then re-
lated several incidents that would
Justify the criticism.
The morning session was nee
essari,y lengthy, but at las the
Culture Club and their visiting
friends repaired to the Akebia
Inn, where a we'll appointed
luncheon was served. Our own
Mrs. Robt. Perkins was toast
mistress for the Culture Club,
Mrs. Mortimer Clopton pledged
the health of the state president,
and Mrs. Fred Hulsey drank to
the health of the club women of
Mississippi. After these toasts,
an informal one was proposed for
the health of HER, who was the
power behind the banquet, Mrs.
Robt. Clark, of the Akebia Ion.
At 2 O'Clock the meeting was
again called to order, Miss Rogers
in the chair, At this time the
club had expected to have a lee
ture from DR.. Kane, of Memphis,
on "Infantile Blindness" but at
the last moment she found it i'm
possible to come, but sent her
charts and also a substitute in
the person of Mrs. Tonsmeyer,
-Eof Memphis. who told of the
wonderful work Of the organized
visiting nurse association,of that
city. She came under the aus
pices of the state medical board,
and more's the pity that more
did not hear this lecture.
Again the state president, Mrs.
Price, was called upon, and told
Of the great advantages to be
derived from the federation. for
in this. as in other work, in
union there is strength"
The election of officers resulted
as follows:
Pres.-Mrs. Mortimer Clopton,
Tupelo.
Vice President-Mrs. Houston,
New Albany.
Recording Sec. Babb.
New Albany.
Cor. Sec. - Mrs. Feemster, Tu-
pelo.
