THE HORSE STEAK

The Metropolitan Board of Health of New York has authorized the sale of horse meat in the city, under its own name rather than take chances that the meat shall masquerade as beef. Un- der the ruling of the Board, one may buy a choice roast, at ten to twelve cents per pound, with short ribs and less desirable pieces at six to eight cents Fer people who must have meat and have no means to purchase beef, pork and mutton at high prices, there is no reason why horse meat should not be an acceptable and econ omic food Certaily it is meat built upon a cleaner diet than that of the hog or chicken.
 Prejudice against horse meat is, of course, largely sentimental. It looks much like treaehery to utilize the hor- se's years of domestic service to man and in the end kill and eat him. But his displacement as carrier by the au- tomobile is fast depriving him of this hold of friendship. Beef, pork and nut ton at 20, 30 and 40 cents pound are getting beyond the reach of the mas ses and the public is beginning to gaze
 with calculating eyes upon the idle i horse.

Time to Einht Mice.

The time to fight mice is when your
house is still rid of them. First make
a hard and fast rule that not crumb
of food is left exposed In kitchen,
pantry or cupboard. See also that In
the bedrooms of your home no waters
or other tasty bits are left where a
mouse might get them and thus find
encouragement to take up his perma-
nent abode there.
The next thing to do is to cut off the
means of entrance to your home, and
this is done by seeing that there are
no loose passageways into the cellar
or open cavities in the wall or loose
woodwork. AS a final resource you
will perhaps have to choose between
a mouse trap and a cat. 1t all de-
ponds on your affinity for the feline
pet which you will do. But remember
that, whereas permitting mice to lodge
In your house was formely only an
act of slothful neglect, it is now one
