SAUSAGE
A Discourse on This Appetizer OF
Cold Weather Menus.
is A FLAvORER OF SOUPS.

How 20 Pick Your Meats and Season
Them So You May Have the Real
Homemade Article "A Diet For
Adults Only.
In our many discussions OF meat and
meat prices we hear little mention OF
The large group Of meats, either fresh
or smoked. which come under the head
of sausage Yet the consumption OF
these products runs UP into the mil
lions Of pounds annually and is affect
ed quite directly by the prices Of other
meats
All sausage stuffed into castings when
examined is found to be a chopped
mixture Of bpe' or pork. or both, SAT-
el or picked under various processes,
combined with spices and later smoked,
with the exception Of the so called
fresh sausage" which is unsmoEed.
Many housekeepers have a reasonable
fear of sausage meat, and II Is true
that formerly and even now In the low
er grades a good deal Of adulteratioh
is practiced by adding -four, rice, corn
meal or inferior trimmings to increase
bulk. But sausage made by repu-
table firm or bought of a reliable deal
er offers In condensed form flavor
full and quite nutritious food for oc-
casional use.
The common varieties when analysed
are found to contain about IA TO 10
per cent of protein (meaO and 70 per
cent or more Of fat. In using them,
there .ore, we should combine them in
meal with quantity OF starch,
bread potatoes, beans, rice, etc. Al
though most sausage Is cured or smok-
ed and some kinds eaten without iur-
Their cooking, it Is best to err on the
side of safety and long cooking, as
trichinae most frequently infect pork
and pork products.
Sausage Is a meat which should be
strictly confined to adult use. No kind
should ever be given to children, and,
while the poorer classes have sausage
babies" frequently, the babies just as
frequently never grow up. The casing,
which is really cleansed intestine,
into which the meat Is stuffed, should
never be eaten, as it is too indigestible.
The fresh sausage meat or the same
preparation sold in links, If fresh ana
of high quality makes good luncheon
or supper dish. Sausages and fried
cakes, no matter how apparently al
Turing on the bill of fare, are dietetic
sin of which no breakfaster should be
guilty. The wise housewife can pick
out her own piece Of pork and other
meat and have it chopped before her
very eyes and season it herself with
sage, thyme and freshly ground pep
per. Several firms have made national
regulations by supplying consumers
with an absolutely pure, tasty sausage
product, which shows that more con-
sumers would use it If they were I'M
varyingly convinced of its integrity.
One of the best methods Of using
sausage is as havorer. 1t thus eco
nomically gives a desirable meat fla
vor, but little actual bulk need be con-
sumed. No one who has ever eaten
bean soup with frankfurters. boiled
hominy and fried beef sausage or a
lentil PURGE with wienerwurst will deny
the appetizing flavor or wisdom OF
the dish. The housewife who is seek
ing meat at an economical price can
learn to use sausage to give the meat |
flavor without the meat cost.
