Judge Lamb by Thickness,
COmpaCtness, and Its Color
Lamb and Mutton Who Know How
F1abby They Want IA Cut

Lamb can be one of the most deli
cious varieties of meat or it can be
one of the most distasteful, accord
ing to it's quality and the way it is
prepared before and during cooking.
Plenty of people. who formerly had
classed lamb among the foods they
disliked, have learned to like it when
it was prepared properly. The strong
mutton flavor so Objectionable to
many is located principally in the
thin membraneous skin and outer fat
of a cut of lamb or mutton. A sharp
knife will take it off easily. Epicures
declare that good leg of lamb with
this skin and the superfuous fat re-
moved, rubbed with butter and
roasted, can not be excelled in the
meat line for delicacy of flavor.
How to Know Good Lamb.
If the consumer wants to know the
grade of lamb he is buying. there are
a few cardinal points to observe. the
Bureau of Markets. Department of
Agriculture, points out Keeping
them in mind will lessen the chances
of disappointment over the quality of
the cut when it is served
The points by which the several
grades of lamb may be determined
after the carcass has been divided
into cuts are not so pronounced as in
beef. The grade must largely be de-
termined by the thickness and COM
pactness of the meat and by the color
of the lean meat.
The choice grade represents the
highest quality of meat offered. The
lean meat is of pinkish color and
the fat is uniform, white and brittle.
The cuts of meat are thick and com
pact and have fair percentage of
fat. The bones are small and inclined
to be soft
The good grade resembles
"choice" in most respects but may
lack some of the essential points.

The amount of fat may be less and it
may not be SO evenly distributed.
The color of the lean meat is the
same as in Choice" but in each case
the retail cut of meat must show that
the animal was in a well-nourished
condition at the time of slaughter.
This is indicated by the firmness of
the meat and liberal amount of fat.
The Lower Grades.
The medium" grade represents
the next lower quality, and the prin-
cipal point which determines this
grade is a lack of outside and inside
fat The lean meat has a dull APP
pearance and lacks the firmness
found in the two higher grades. The
lean meat also frequently has a
watery appearance. The bones are
usually small but the percentage of
meat is much lower than in the bet
ter grades.
The common" grade is the lowest
grade usually found in the markets
The meat has every appearance of
the animal having been poorly fed.
The bones are prominent and the per
centage of meat is very small. The
almost entire lack of fat is strikingly
noticeable. The small percentage of
lean meat has flabby appearance
and is dull in color.

Outer garments which are given
careful attention wear so much longer
and look So much better than those
which are neglected that time, used in
caring for them is well spent.
The following hints for their care
are given by home economic experts
in the United States Department of
Agriculture:
Hang outer garments carefully
when not in use. Plenty of rods and
hangers save space and prevent
wrinkles.
Keep covers over delicate garments
or others worn only occasionally to
protect against dust and rubbing.
Do not keep partly soiled garments
in an unaired place. They are likely
to become discolored
Fold carefully all garments kept in
drawers or boxes.
In putting garments away for the
season. guard against wrinkling.
stretching, fading. and insects. Fold
so that creases will correspond as far
as possible with the folds into which
the garment falls in use. DO not
allow weight to rest on folded gar
ments. Garments of firm materials
may be left. hanging if carefully COW
cred against dust and insects; but
sleazy materials. heavily trimmed gar
ments. and circular skirts are likely
to be stretched out of shape by their
own weight. Keep in the dark to
avoid change in color.
Removable and washable collars,
cuffs, and Innings save cleaning in
women's dresses, waists, and coats.

GOING DOWN FOR THIRD TIME
oldtime Idea About Drowning Said by
One Who Should Know to BE
GIL Wrong

Observations cleaned from 20 years
of teaching people to swim" are re-
lated by George H. Corsan in the As
ISOLATION Men In In the Water,
There's the Life. He points u that
it is the only exercise which will make
fat people thin and thin people fat;
that a woman can endure more cold
water exposure than a man; that peo-
pie become "drownproef'' as they learn
to breathe in rhythm. He also ex-
plodes the venerable, time-honored
theory that going down the third time
means death.
"It won't hold water, so to speak,"
he says. What brings strangulation
is trying to inhale under water. A
Missourian who could not swim. was
reading in a Kansas paper a first les
SON in swimming which pointed out
that if a person suddenly immersed
would gulp in air as he came to the
top, and exhale by horsepower be-
meath, he stood a fine chance of res
cue. That afternoon this man was
plunged into a river when his boat
capsized. He recalled the lesson in
a flash and followed directions. There
is no knowing how many times he
went under, but after bobhing some
hundred yards down stream, he was
finally fished out. His companion
was drowned

WHAT'S IN A SIGN? COMFORT
SAYS sAcHELoR-HE WINS

'Tis well to know all the signs. A
red ball on a flag in winter time is a
sign of skating on the lake; a red
nose often, though not always, a sign
that the wearer has located a secret
cache where something stronger is to
be found than 2.75 beer: banana peel
in the way, a sign that you will slip
if you don't watch out, and a cloth
mark on top Of a mattress, a sign to
shcw whether it has been turned or
not. This latest sign has been, es-
tabIished as the result of the insis-
tenee of a Brooklyn bachelor that his
hair mattress be turned.
The Brook1ynite lives on Pierrepont
street. He is an exacting man. II
you live on the Heights you learn to
be exacting. He had heard that the
mattresses at the Hotel Clifton, Patch
ogue, L. l., were Of hair; SO, when he
made his reservations he stipulated
that the mattress was to be turned
each morning. The maid was in
formed of the bachelors rule. On
the third morning Mr.. Heights rang
the bell for the housekeeper and when
she returned told her the mattress had
not been turned. The bachelor got
quite a turn. He had inserted a pin
in the top of the mattress and when
it was still there in the morning. he
knew that the same side was up.
The maid was reprimanded. She
promised that the mistake would not
occur again. But the next morning
the housekeeper found the maid sim
ply transferring the pin from the top
to the bottom of the mattress. Now
a cloth mark has been attached to the
mattress. Mondays, the mark it up
and Tuesdays it is down, and SO on.
The bachelor is able to sleep

Jump in Suits For
Men Coming Fall
Is to 40 Per Cent Increase Is Fore
cast By Makers

New York, July 28.-The cost of
popular priced mems clothing will be
increased from 25 to 40 per cent next
fall. The increase will be effective
all over the United States.
The authorities for this information
are Max Speedman, president OF the
American Clothing Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, of this City, ]. J. Levins,
secretary of the American Association
of Wooden and Worsted Manufacture
ers; Leon Mann, executive manager
of the American Clothing Manufacture
ers' Association, and many others. A
summary OF the information received
from these men is as follows,
A r~eady-to-wear standard suit of
clothes consisting of coat, trousers
and vest that the wearer paid SIS for
last fall will cost s31.25 next fall.
A suit for which $50 was paid in
the fall of 1918 vii cost $63.25 this
fall.
Clothing costing above $50 a suit
in the fall of 1918 viii not suffer as
great a percentage of increase. Such
suits will be retailed at from Is to 20
per cent above former prices. Never
theIess the day of the 800 suits is
near at hand for the man who has in
the past figured on making himself
look stylish on from SIS to $85.
The reasons given for the increases
are shortage of cloth and increased
cost OF labor.
