Here and There.

The United States Department Of jus
tIce have Instituted "Ssve money on
Meat Weeks" for all OF the states, 10 an
effort, % they say, TO substitute less
expensive cuts of meat for those more
expensive. Quite likely they mean to
substitute real beef steak for liver.
When meat first began to soar In price,
merchants, philanthropists and other
friends of the populaoe gave the same
advice the Department OF Justice 10 now
giving; that IL, they advised eating liver
and other parts OF animals not consid-
cred elegant ct least, and promptly these
cuts went up In price to Q point equal
and even above that Of beef steak.

Oxford County Notes.

The Maine Central road received
another set back In its running time
Wednesday, when the engine OF the reg
ular passenger train, travelling between
Livermore and Canton left the rails early
In the morning near the Canton fair
grounds. Both trains from Lewiston
and Rumford had to trsnsfer passengers
and mail around the wreck. Traffic was
delayed for nearly seven hours. All tho
trucks of the engine left the rails, and It
was late In the afternoon before the
wrecking train sent from Rumford was
able to replace the engine back upon the
track. Ice on the rails was given % be-
ing the cause of the accident.
It may be interesting to Democrat
readers to note that In 1872 Oxford
County Was visited by storm which
much resembled the one Of last week. It
was rain first, then snow, then freeze.
This condition put the Grand Trunk ont
OF commission for week, and the Maine
Central, which was then known Is the
Portland & Oxford Central, out OF COM
mission until the spring sun thawed out
the road. The motive power on the
frst road was not so powerful % 1t ID
now, and that on the second not 80 pow
erful az the first which accounts some.
what for the conditions given above. In.
deed the equipment Of the latter was so
poor that the letters on the sides of the
cars, P. & o. G. r. r. were construed to
mean Poor Old Country Railroad.
Oxford County figured In state wide
scandal last week. The big head lines OF
the Portland papers announced Thursday
that Clarence Tburlow OF Westbrook, .
man aged AZ years, bad kidnapped Flor.
ence Berry, q girl IA years old, of the same
city, and fed to parts unknown. Dep
uty Sheriff John j. MCNEIL Of Portland
traced the couple to West Peru, this
where he found them In q Sc
cluded farm house on the Ridge Road,
occupied by W. s. Hotham, whose wife
is sister to Thurlow. They were traced
by the fact that Thurlow had his trunk
checked to Peru. Thurlow was boarder
at the Berry home and had been most
persistent In his attentions to the daugh-
ter of the house, against the wishes Of
the father, George Berry. The couple
were taken to Portland, and locked up at
the police station, where Thurlow was
arraigned on the charge Of abduction.

HOUSEWIVES BUY LAMB AND
MUTTON UNWISELY.

The Eat More Lamb campaign which
is being conducted throughout the
country at the present time before col
leges, domestic science schools, WON
ems clubs, various institutions, public
schools, meat markets, etc, has
brought before the general public the
value of lamb as a food product, but
especially has it demonstrated the
value and economy of the cheaper cuts
of lamb which have been neglected. 1t
has been a contention of the retailer
for years that a great part of the
fore quarter-the neck, shoulder,
shank and breast-must be sold at a
loss or eventually reach the scrap or
bone box.
Some retail butchers bone out these
cheap fore-quarter cuts, put them
through the meat grinder, season them
and mold them up into lamb patties,
putting a strip of bacon around each
one, leave them in the cooler over
night and sell all of them next day at
good prices. Many butchers could sell
more than they can supply. The butch
er has thus turned into an asset or
profitmaker that portion which has
heretofore been considered loss.
Steaks and roasts can be had from
the shoulder, lamb rolls from the neck,
breast and shoulder, and neck slices
are obtained by cutting the neck in
sections crosswise, so that the meat has
the appearance of chops and is very
inviting dish when used as stew or
potted lamb en- casserole. The cheap
er cuts of lamb are made from the
breast, shoulder, shank and neck
which combined are about IS per cent
of the lamb.
Lamb is healthful food for all peo-
pie. 1t is very nutritious, wholesome
and palatable and in caloric value it is
equal or superior to any other meat.
The boned and rolled shoulder men
toned above is used for roasting pur-
poses: 1t can also be cut to any de-
sired weiGht or can be sliced into
SaratoCa chops.
III ed States government statistics
tel, us that each year the average
hou. avife buys for every person in
her household only about pounds of
lamb as compared with about II
pounds Of pork and 67 pounds of beef.
If all American families used lamb
one day a week it would mean more
than 20 pounds of lamb annually per
capita, or four times the present con-
sumption.
More than that, the head of the fam
lily, who pays the bills, would no doubt

How blower Y our Meat Bills
Hints From the Department of
Justice
Vu5uOC

encourage purchasing the cheaper
lamb cuts instead of merely a few
chops at time. A shoulder of lamb.
being smaller than the average beef
joint and less expensive, should ap
peal especially to small families.
The marketing expeditions SHOULD
be an education in economy.
1t usually pays to shop before you
buy.
1t usually pays to do your marketing
personally rather than telephone your
| order.
Lamb steaks and lamb chops take
| but a few moments to cook, but they
are the most expensive cuts. AS o
lamb is not all chops and steaks, other
and less expensive parts of the animal
must be used and can be made into
tasty dishes. Breast of lamb con
tains more meat than bone, yet it often
sells for half the price of pork spare.
ribs, and some retailers on account OF
limited demand for the fore-quarteT
cuts find it necessary to convert these
cheaper cuts into sausage in order to
sell them at all.
Lamb is a somewhat seasonable
meat, by far the greater part Of live
lambs reaching the market during the
latter half of the year. In the spring
around Easter time, lamb may be as
high or higher than other meats. In
the fall and early winter it is nearly
always much cheaper.

piled by the National Wool Growers
association from representative re-
