SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SATURDAY MARKET BASKET
The Business of Being a Housewife
BY Jean Science Adviser Co.
Meat Specialties

TIE demand for the regular cuts OF
meat to the absolute exclusion of the
various other nutritious portions Of
the meat is mostly to blame for the
high cost. The foreign housewife who
has learned to fence with high cost
mas become thoroughly educated to
the value of the liver heart, kidneys,
ETC., of the beef, pork, and lamb A
knowledge of these specialties and
their tasty preparation makes II pos
sible TO add great variety to the menu.
Chefs in the leading hotels ard an
ing cars have made leaders OF these
various meats. They have worked
out recipes for dishes that prove very
popular with the business men, VINO
form a large per cent. OF their pat
rOnage.
When the housewife comes to a
realization that she must compete
with the great chefs in variety and
tastiness of the foods she prepares,
she will realize the importance or
study in this line. She will take pride
as does the chef, In working out
ielicately seasoned and nutritious
dish at little cost.

ACE took on the same expression Of
ecstasy you have seen on the face of

Of great success.

ous chefs, during which | found out
what men like TO- eat, will be publish

The following cuts Of meat are now
being prepared for national distribu-
ton. These products being highly
perishable, have been extremely rea-
sonable in the localities adjacent to
abattoirs. but practically unobtain-
able elsewhere. The packer doing
interstate business freezes these por-
tons and distributes them to the local

are still frozen. The housewife is
now able TO get these dainties still in
the frozen condition. They are thus
kept fresh and delicate for your ma
nipulation.

chased fresh or frozen. Prepare pigs

In Defence Of Honest Men.

Two important principles Of the
criminal law nre upheld by the United
States Circuit Court % Appeals In re-.
yersing the convictions obtained by
the Government in the Stafford and
Flagg prosecutions. In the Stafford
case the appellate court holds that
certain Testimony allowed to go to the
jury by the trial Judge was hcarsuy
evidence and hence inadmlssiblc,
while in the Flugg cnse II was shown
that the seizure If the papers and
books belonging To tho accused was
unlawful and constituted an invasion
of his legal rights.
This disregard for n citizens rights
apparently resulted from ovcrzeal on
the part Of those directing his arrest
and prosecution which the general
sentiment against operations such as
FLAGG carried on caused the commu-
nifty To overlook when his offices were
entered and his property removed
from il. HUT II is obvious that IL II
suspects effects can bc taken from
him without II warrant no mans
property or freedom Is safe. and the
danger Of prosecutions carried on for
revenge. for political effect or with
some other unworthy purpose would

The incidental circumstance that
these decisions operate for the imme-
diate benefit Of persons for whose
personal fortunes no sympathy is felt
does not obscure their Importance

Mayor Mitchel's Appeal In Behalf
OF the Taxpayers.

Mayor MITCHEL's plea to Governor
WHITMAN In behalf OF the overhur.
dened taxpayers of this town is pc
culiarly forcible because Of the quo
tations from the Governors utter
ances with which it l. reinforced.
Mr.. WHITMAN has publicly and sp"-
citicnlly acknowledged the eXtrava-
gance of the State. He has pointed
out wherein the Legislature might he
economical without hamperlng the
public service in any detail. He pro-
posed to the lawmakers n scheme of
appropriations less wastcful than the
one they evolved for themselves. He
cannot reasonably defend the legisla-
tive projects that are before him for
consideration unless he Is willing to
stultify his own record.
1t Is the opinion of competent au-
thorities who have studied the appro-
priatiou bills that the sum Of
S14,0OO,OOO could he cut from this
total without affecting unfavorably
any legitimate work Of the State,
That such n great sum will he saved
by Executive net nobody believes,
But that II might he IL asserted seri-
ously, and a convincing argument In
support of the assertioe has been
laid before the Governor. In this the
items In which the savings could he
made are specified, and not n Of the
proposed reductions nj he logically
assailed. Particularly they should
carry conviction to a n who has
already aided In exposing legislative
prOdlgaiity.
Governor WHITMAN has an oppor'
tunity to show that his words in hc'
half OF sound management of public
affairs and ~frugality in expenditures
mean more than the ordinary outgiv-
ings of the campaign orator.

CensOring the Motion Pictures.

Except that II may furnish n few
political jobs there appears no demand
for the censorship of motion pictures
rs proposed by the Observation-Disclosures
bill. which m up to-day for hear
ing before Governor WHITMAN.
In the three States where legal en-
sorship has been tried IT has been
satisfactory neither To the producers
Of the pictures nor To those who pay
To see them. The censorship has been
generally considered inefficient: and
in one State IL has been So narrow
and prejudiced as to bring the work
of the board into ridicule and 10
II demand Tor repeal Of the
law that created II. In each of the
three States the constitutlonality of
the law creating the boards has been
questioned.
The protection Of children against
Objectionable pictures is no better So
cured by this bill than II Is by the
present plan Of the National Board of
Review in providing special pro-
grnmmes for children and stimulat-
ing exhibitions for their benefit.
The Cristman-Wheeler bill, provid-
ing for no approval Of n part Of a
picture, but requiring approval or re-
lection Of II entire. inficts unneces-
sary expense on the producer. An
other objection that has been urged
against the hill is that the charges
are so high as To amount to special
and unjust taxation. which will fall
ultimately upon the patrons Of the
exhibition.
Public sentiment will continue to
he, as It has been. the strongest force
for the elimination Of objectionable
pictures. There is no more general
and popular demand for the censor
ship Of the motion picture than for
a censorship Of the stage, paintings,
books or the press. The measure is
impractical and undemocratic.
