CUTS OF MEAT.
1t Is Necessary to Know Muscle
Structure.
DIFFERENT PARTS NAMED

Some Expert Help For Young House
wivss Who Have Not Yet Learned
How to Cook Cheap Meats In the
Most Nourishing, Tempting Way.
1t would seem that the last word had
been said on cheaper cuts Of meat But
the increase in the high cost Of living
makes the meat problem still as tough
mo pun as ever.
What are the much ma'igncd and
equally much praised cuts called
cheaper" TO know this we must
know the architecture of the animal in
question. First, the most tender pieces
are the less exposed parts of the ami
NAL. Whatever portions are subjected
to muscular exercise thus the lom are
tougher because the muscles have been
used more. This does not mean that
there is not as much nOuriShment In
tough muscles as in tender ones. The
cheaper cuts have tougher fihers, and
the whole problem is to prepare and
soften the tibers and thus Put them on
par with more tender parts. The
muscles of the abdomen are also ten
der, but give very coarse meat
The structure of the muscle fiber
must be studied ~ order TO apply tho
best methods of cooking. Each fiber is
like thin section Of orange, being
surrounded with firm tissue and con-
tanning juice within. If we cut the
fiber across the juice will escape. If
we heat the fiber in a high tempera-
ture we will harden it still more and
prevent the escape Of juices. If we
cut it and soak it in water the juices
again will escape. But If we pour
scalding water or liquid on the fiber Il
will have much the same effect as
heating it rapidly to a high point.
Now, the ideal in handling all cheaper
cuts Is first to harden the fiber either
by pouring on boiling water OF by
heating 1t to a high degree in order "a
avoid the escape Of the juices, and see
ond, to cook it slowly so that the fiber
will eventually be- very soft, the juices
dissolved and the favor as much as
possible retained None of these rcatS
should be covered at first with cold
liquid or cooked slowly before the out
side fiber is scared

From what quite number of citi-
Zens have said to the editor, it appears
that there will be an effort made to
have the county delegation introduce
a bill in the next legislature to allow
Union township to vote upon the ques-
tion of good roads bonds for the town.
ship. There is no doubt but that such
a movement would result in the bonds
being issued. Both this year and last
Union township voted for the bonds.
We see no serious objection to such
movement. Indeed, there are many
reasons why it should be done in that
way. Each township would thus build
its own roads. If a township did not
want roads it could let roads 90. If
township wanted roads it could build
them. If the movement proved to be
beneficial in any one township it would
be but matter of short time be-
fore other townships would get busy
and build the roads. There is no
doubt of the fact that good roads are
a certainty before any great length of
time goes by. Whether by bonds or
b. direct taxation, good roads are
coming. In fact, in many sections of
the country the good roads movement
"haS arrived"

FRIDAY. APRIL 81, 1916.

Jas. L. Strain, whose death oc-
CURED last Sunday night at his home
near Wilkinsville, was a man of in
tellectual and moral attainment far
in advance of most men. He was a
man of faith and was possessed of a
personality that won him a warm
place in the hearts of all. The Times
feels a distinct loss in the departure
of this good man, for he was a fre-
quent contributor to the paper. Thirty
years ago, and for many years there
after, he was a regular correspond
ent. His letters were read every week
by hundreds of admiring friends. His
death is a distinct loss to the State
of South Carolina.

1t is to be hoped that every progress
sive and worthy citizen will turn out
to the mass meeting to be held in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
Friday afternoon at o'clock. The
meeting is to discuss the matter of
the proposed electric railway connect
ing Union with Spartanburg, Laurens,
Clinton and several other smaller
towns by trolley. The proposed "belt
line" would open up considerable ter
ritory not now in touch with railway
of any sort, and would mean much to
Union. The road is not coming to
Union unless Union will do her part
in the matter of taking stock in the
proposed enterprise. If Union does
not come into the movement it will be
a serious handicap to her future. Come
to the meeting Friday afternoon and
hear the situation discussed. To talk
after the opportunity has passed will
avail nothing.

This writer may talk a great deal.
We think great deal, who is it that
is without fault or who is the perfect
man? AS one of our great writer's,
the Apostle Paul, said in one of his
letters, "Let us go on to Jerusalem"
and it may be at that last hour of
death when none but the dying can
see as they look through that veil of
death will know he is perfect.
Like my good old aunt said when
she was dying, "Don't you hear the
singing?" No one heard them sing
ing but her. They were angels sing

has gone to join that happy band of
singers she heard in the great be-

The oldest one was about II years old,
a bright little girl. She told me of her

had met her in way he couldn't

reality in these things and there is
an inspiration, some moving spirit
such as we don't understand.
The farmers are getting on fine
with their work. There will be a great
deal of cotton planted this week.
Small grain is looking fine in some
section.
Gardens are generally late on ac-
count of the cold weather. Some early
planting of beans was killed by the
frost.
The rural schools in many places are
closing their sessions by giving their
entertainments and picnics. This
writer is invited to two on Saturday,
the 22nd. You see these conflict with
each other. l would like to attend
both.
