Cheaper Cuts Often Have the Best
Flavor

la We
Flavor in meat depends mainly on
certain heterogeneous substances which
are called extractiyes because they
can be dissolved out or extracted" by
soaking the meat in cold water. The
quality of the extractives and the re
suIting favor OF the meat vary with
the condition of the animal and in
different parts OF its body. They are
usually considered better developed
in older than in very young animals.
Many persons suppose eXtractives
or the favor they cause are best in
the most expensive cut OF meat, in
reality, cuts Of the side OF beef are
often of better favor than tender cuts,
but owing to the difficulty OF mastica-
ton this fact is frequently not de-
tected
The extractives have little or no
nutritive value in themselves, but
they are OF great Importance in caus-
ing the secretion Of digestive juices
at the proper time. i'm the right
amount and Of the right chemical
character

PRESIDENT WILSON appeared in the
United States Senate on Monday last and
delivered message to Congress that
created sensation throughout the world.
Ii was proposal that the United States
should not only use its best endeavors 10
end the great European war, and bring
about peace without victory for either
side, bat after the war is ended our gov
eminent should join the European nations
in worldwide compact TO maintain
peace. He proposes that military and
naval establishments shall be reduced to
size necessary only TO maintain order ;
that no nation snail De allowed to make
forceiul attempts TO increase lis territory
by violating the rights OF others; that the
weakest OF the nations shall have the
protection OF the others against agrees
sion OF any Sort He suggests that the
Monroe doctrine OF the United States,
which protects the South American ma
tons from the aggresSionS of STRONGER
nations, shall be a principle that shall
apply to the whole world.
President Wilson's message was so

The Secretary ofthe Navy, Mr.. Daniels,
has just awarded TO firm in Sheffield,
England, contract for furnishing great
shells for tie United States Navy that
amounts to So, l4l ,000 Naturally, a great
dea! OF opposition is manifested on the
part OF the manufacturers of this country,
who expected that they would get the
contract, and they and the newspapers
controlled by the big interests are severe
in criticism OF Secretary Daniels. The
Secretary, however, shows that the price
OF the English company on l6-inch shells
is $4l9 each, while the Bethlehem Com
pany, Schwab's company, asked $775
each. On l4inch proiectiles the English
firms BID was 1856 each. while the Beth
lehem Company asked $500, the Cruciole
Steel Company S543 30, and the Midvale
Company $3.50. On the contract awarded,
the government saves 81, 1859, 900, gets
deliveries about ten months quicker, and
the shells contracted for are OF far better
standard than those made here.
The big manufacturers here did not
know that The Secretary was asking for
bids from abroad, and they thought that
they had the matter in their own hands
hence their enormously high prices, the
result ola combination among themselves.
We do not see how Secretary Daniels
could have conscientiouslY done other
wise in the contract. The attempt OF
these home manufacturers 10 squeeze the
government is in line with their practice
OF many years, and there should be gen.
eral rejoicing that their latest attempt to
profit so enormously over the country'S
desire for preparedness has been foiled.
The patriotic spirit which they have so
aSSiduouSly helped to cultivate was only
intended by them as means OF increas-
ing their already vast riches, and as their
profits ia this line fade we shall expect 10
hear less OF the pressing need OF prepar-
edneSS.

IN THE LEGISLATURE.

Governor Hatfield sent a special mes
sage 10 the West Virginia Legislature. in
which he suggests that action be taken
looking to settlement OF the Virginia
debt question. The message deals with
the history of the debt litigation from IFS
beginning The Governor advises against
opposition 10 the courts degree or re-
bellion against constituted authority in
this connection. He suggests. however,
that the State will do well 10 ask Tor re-
hearing in the matter of interest, which is
the greater part of the claim.
There is wide difference of opinion
among members OF the Legislature on this
matter. A resolution has been intro
duced repudiating the debt entirely and
resisting its payment. Another prop
osition is that the Senate and House meet
in Joint session to dispose OF the ques-
ton.
The House Committee on Prohibition
and Temperance reported stringent
amendments to the prohibition bill on
