HOUSEWIVES BUY LAMB ANc
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 IL demonstrated the
value and economy of the cheaper cuts
of lamb which have been neglected. II
has been 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
err has thus turned into an asset or
profitmaker that portion which has
heretofore been considered a 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 a healthful food for all peo-
pie. 1t is very nutritious, wholesome
and palatable and in caloric value IL is
equal or superior to any other meat.
The boned and rolled shoulder men,
toned above is used for roasting pur-
poses; ii can also be cut to any de-
sired weight or can be sliced into
Saratoga chops.
United States government statistics
tell us that each year the average
housewife buys for every person In
her household only about pounds of
lamb as compared with about II
pounds of pork and 81 pounds of beef.
II 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.

American market. Not only does this
market offer remarkable outlet Tor
the finest stones, but the most skillful
diamond cutters and polishers in the
world are to be found here. While 1t
may surprise many people to learn 1t,
American-cut diamonds are preferred
to those cut abroad, and it is an
every day occurance for a fine dia-
mond. imported in the finished state,
TO be recut here in order to improve
its briliancy and increase its value.
1.-THE demonstrating industry has
grown remarkably in this country IN
the last fifty years. In 1870 there
was only one cutter known to be doing
business i'm New York City, and he
did repairing only. Now there are
nearly thousand skilled cutters at
work here. They produce the most
scientifically and skillfully cut and
polished diamonds to be found in the
world and earn from $125 to $175 a
week. Exceptionally skilled men earn
frequently more than S175 week.
'As an investment, Snothing can
compare with the purchase of dia-
monds. During the half century that
/ have been associated with the jewel
ry industry they have continually adj
vanced in price. Periods of hard times
and financial panics may have tenn
porarily checked the upward move
ment of prices but have never forced
them to recede. AS soon as the Sit
uation improved the. upward trend Of
diamond values set in again.
"All over the world people are buy.
ing diamonds freely at the present
time either for personal adornment or
for investment. Because of this and
the condition Of the mines, which can
not remain productive forever, the
indications are that diamonds will
continue to increase in value indefi-
nitely. They supply the one form of
property, even though non-essential,
on which the chances of sustaining
a loss are reduced to the irreducible
public should keep one thing strongly
minimum In purchasing them the
public should keep one thing strongly
in mind: buy them only from con-
Germs whose reputation is such as to
guarantee the receipt of full value
for the money expended"

DIAMOND MUST
Be seen FOR IT'S
TRUE VALUATION
REASONS ADDUCED WHY THERE
is NO OTHER METHOD TO
SHOW ITS REAL WORTH

Since the extra rapid increases in
diamond prices began some time ago
members of the jewellery trade all the
way from the retailer to the manu-
facturer have been asked almost daily
"What is the price of good one
carat diamond ?" the answer to the
question is about as difficult to give as
that to the famous riddle about the
age of Ann. In other words, unless
the query is made about some partic-
ular stone, and the stone is produced
with it for examination, the question
cannot be answered at all. According
to julius Wodiska, a manufacturing
jeweler of this city, it is as impossible
to give the value of an unseen dia-
mond as it is to appraise building
without being told how high it is or
where located.
"There are many features that go
to make up the value of diamond"
Mr.. Wodiska said yesterday. "They
include its make shape, color, de-
gree of perfection, brilliancy, proper
tions, cutting, etc. If imperfect, the
character of the imperfection and its
location in the stone play an impor-
tant part in determining its value.
All of the factors mentioned have to
be given carefully determined values,
which are finally added up like sum
of figures. Obviously this calls for
the judgment of an expert.
Diamonds of one carat or over,
considered of good quality, color, and
make will retail today at from 5000
to $1,000 carat. Exceptional speci-
mems are worth considerably more
than 81 900 a carat. A thing which
must not be forgotten is that quality
and not size, governs the value of a
diamond. 1t is not rare to see a
single-carat stone that is worth five
times as much. as a three-carat dia-
mond of inferior quality. One in
fallible guide for prospective buyers
of diamonds is that a cheap stone is
a poor stone, regardless of what the
seller may say to the contrary.
"There are perfectly legitimate rea
sons for the advances which are TAX
ing place in diamond prices. First of
all, the South African mines are not
as productive as they formerly were,
nor are the rough stones produced
now of as good quality as heretofore.
The mines are constantly being in.
creased in depth which anhances the
difficulty and expense of operation.
Labor at the mines has advanced at
the same rate it has in other parts of
the world. Government taxes also
add to the increased price the public
must pay for its diamonds. About
the only thing which has not added to
their cost in the last few.years is the
tariff levied on imports Of rough and
finished diamonds into this country.
This has remained unchanged.
"The diamond industry is under the
complete control of an English syndi-
cate, which entirely governs prices
and distribution. The rough stones
to be sold to the different countries
are determined according to the quail
ity of gems wanted. The finest
rough diamonds are reserved for the

How to LowerY Your Meat Bills
Hints From the Department Of
Justice

encourage purchasing the cheaper
lamb cuts instead of merely 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 few moments to cook, but they
are the most expensive cuts. AS q
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 1t often
sells for half the price of pork spare
ribs, and some retailers on account of
limited demand for the fore-quarter
cuts find 1t necessary to convert these
cheaper cuts into sausage in order to
sell them at all.
Lamb is 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-
tailers throughout the country show
