Now that you buy mince- meat in the Jar or carton, you've for gotten that the beef has a neck. Why have you never used this nutritious and inexpensive cut of meat for stews or braising?

expected. It was complete. when under
the pressure of public opinion the
American troops had to be withdrawn
the pressure OF public opinion. After
the failure of the allies policy the
Bolshevists occupy n stronger position
today than ever before. More than one
eighth OF the carth's solid surface is
under their control. with a population
far in excess of that Of the United
States. The Esthonians on whose help
concluded peace with Soviet Russia and
the rest of the Baltic states and Poland
are about to- do SO.
England. with her keen business In
stinct Is in favor OF recognizing things
as they are and concluding peace with
Russia, while France, still hoping to
save the millions she loaned to old
Russia. opposes recognition of the Sow
cts and wants intercourse limited to
trading with the cooperative societies.
Wash!nGton's attitude is still obscure,
although the way Is marked out rather
plainly.

AsoUITH'S VICTORY

The election Of the forrsr-r BRUSH
Premier Herbert AsQuith TO parliament
with tremendous majority over the
Lloyd George or coalition-unlonist cam
didate is significant. sensational
campaign had preceded in which women
played a prominent part. His own
daughter. Lady Bomham Carter, was
one OF Asquiths most eloquent cham
pions. while Lloyd George was aided
by the wit and sarcasm OF the AmerI-
can-born first female member OF parlia-
ment. Lady Aston
At the beginning OF the campaign
Asquth issued an appeal to the liberals
not TO let their liberalism be diluted
with toryism or numbed by the labor
movement. Thus he declared war both
against the coalitionists and the labor
ties and conducted a campaign on two
fronts His defeat was freely predicted
on that account. The Importance Of
this double victory is apparent from his
political progress which included imme-
diate resumption OF trade and industrial
relations with Russia. drastic Curtall-
mcnt OF government expenses. especial
~ for military purposes. reform Of tax
alton and abolishing Of tax privileges,
with higher rates OF taxation for swol-
len fortunes. complete autonomy for
Ireland a minimum wage and enlarge
rlent OF governmental powers TO combat
profteers and trusts. The Baltic states
and Poland were to be urged to conclude
peace with Russia. and tho allies. he
said should do the same for reasons
dictated by conscience and sound sense.
Mr. Asquith received nearly four
times as many votes as the Lloyd
George candidate and nearly 5000 more
than the laboritc. As the laboritcs are
now also opposed TO Lloyd George and
as Asquith took direct issue with tho
government. the latter's defeat was
overwhelming and il may be the first
step towards realizing the foreboding
expressed by Lloyd George in Paris
that in less than six months he might
share the fate OF Orlando and Clemen-
ceau.
