MEAT AND ECONOMY.

It is often remarked that the work fngman of today can't afford real meat. He may enjoy soups and stews, but the luscious old-time roast beef is supposed to be out of his reach.
 A marketman was saying the other day that this is not the fact, how ever. Two women had just been in his place, one in very easy circum- stances, and she boughtA a piece of round" at 22 cents a pound, no doubt getting an appetizingA stew. The oth- CT was woman of most limited means, and she called for a, pound of ''rump,'' which was 35 cents. As the dealer wouldn't cut off less than two pounds, she paid 70 cents and march ed off triumphantIy with her choice dinner.
 In the days when the market bas- ket was more popular, people studied more carefully the virtues of different sections of the beef creetur" as the o1d-tim CTS called it. One man said he always tried to get a. piece off the round next the trump. He could tell by the shape of the piece when the meat cutter was not near enough to, the trump. He would go out and come back later, and get. choice cut for the same money.
 krhe saving made by cheaper cuts is less than formerly Too many peo- pie are asking for them. The Unit ed States cook book issued a few years ago, giving suggestions for using cheap cuts, was one of the most popular of the government publications.
 Many people derided the idea of the government interfering in the kitch- ems. All the same, this little book gave many people ideas about dealing with the meat combine. In a time when population is increasing and cattle decreasing, not Aevery one can have trump steak. The selection of meat for the family table is an inter- esting study and in these times of high prices, is worthy of careful per sonal attention

want to leave immediately. It is one of the delicate tasks of the minister to discriminate between people who wish to be talked to and those who do not.
 Interest Shown by Offerings.
 There is danger that membership lists will be allowed to become over rated, but this is more the fault of When members leave a church they should so infofm the minister or his secretary.
 My church is usually full. But if a man doesn't attend regularly, or even not at all, but pays a nominal sum-to. the church his dues, I re- gard him as a member in good stand ing. It shows that the person has an interest in the institutoin..
 we mu.-l rot forget that attend ance at church is net the primary aim of religion. At least, it is not so with me What strive for is to make the church and it's influence factor in the building of good character. If this is accomplished, it is better than get ting regular attendance at church, ' Dr. Slattery explained.
 Dr. James Palmer of the Fifth Ave nue Presbyterian Church:
 t'I do not believe that the majority of churcnes throughout the country have a larger membership on paper than in actual1ty. 1 do, however, think that Dr. Kemp took the proper action when he cut his list almost in half. as-Iong as so many of the mem bers of his church were merely mem bers on paper.
 -'But Dr. .Kemp'ss seemingly radical act had to be done only because dead wood was allowed to accumulate Churches require management as do other institutions. People move from town to town, and in so doing forget to let their church know that they are leaving. Now, it is for the church to find out when one ceases to be a member, and not wait until it has over 1000 names on it's rolls that do not belong there.
 The Test of Payment.
 .Of course Rm not finding fault with pr. Kemp. Many of the names were on the rolls when he came to Calvary church. He isn't to be b1am- ed for the large accumulation, nor can his predecessor be blamed either, be- cause he had nobody to assist him in the work of the church.
 My own church membership is not overrated, and I do not believe that the membership of many churches is overrated. It must be understood of course that even if man doesn't come to church, but pays his money, his name should not be stricken from the list He shows an active interest," dec1ared Dr. Palmer.
