MAKELITTLEME MEAT
co LONG way
ON menu

Through savory stews and meat pies
you can make meat go a long way
Do you know how good they are?
They may be so varied that you can
have a different one every day in the
week, and all of them delicious. It
needs only small piece of meat to
give flavor to a hearty dish.
Don't think that you must eat a
lot of meat to be strong. Meat is
good to help build up the body, but
so are many other foods.
In these dishes part of your build
ing material comes from the more ex-
pensive meat and part from the
cheaper peas, beans, hominy and bar
ley The little meat with the vege-
tables and cereals will give your body
what it needs.
Here is an English stew that is es-
pecially good: 1 pound mutton, IL
cup pearled barley, tablespoon salt
potatoes, 3 onions, celery tops or
other seasoning herbs. Cut the NUT
ton in small pieces and brown with
the onion in fat cut from meat. This
will help make the meat tender and
improve the favor.

Dance Tonight at QuiIty's.

Dancing will be the order tonight
at the Colonial ball room in Fairfield
avenue, Quilty's, from 1880 to 10
10 o'clock, to comply with the orders
of the Fuel Administration that all
dances must close at 10. This will
give about the usual hours of dane
ing, and will aid in the coal conserva-
ton. Prof. Guilty believes his pa
irons will aid him in complying with
all of the regulations. Murray's or
chestra will furnish the music, there
will undoubtedly be large crowd,
and a good time. The usual popular
prices of admission, and the usual
cordial welcome.-Adv.

 The school board has decided that the domestic science class will prepars dinner at the high school for those pupils who may wish to take theiI dinner there. and that charge will be made sufficient to cover the ex. pense. It is now thought that B per month will be all that will be re- quired. This will provide a meal for Sl5c. to be furnished to those who take their meals regularly and pay 8 in advance. The board and teachers cannot be annoyed by making cOlleC tions. On rainy days it might be that others would prefer taking their meal at the school building. The board will not encourage this for the reason that the children will often be without money with which to pay for the meal and this would involve the keeping o' a large number of petty accounts So that parents who wish their children to take their dinner at the school should notify the board, or teacher Miss Louise Scott, immediately, The plan will not be put on unless as many as thirty agree to take their meals regularly. There will always be some of the teachers in charge. It thought that s per month will not more than cover the extra expense of the groceries. The work will @ done by the domestic science class a' a part of their training.
