Most butchers take their knife and
score plank steak before selling it to
their customer, but this is easily done
by the cook herself. Be careful not
to cut too deeply ana do not pound
the meat.
Make a paste of one-half teaspoon
mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon
sugar and about tablespoons vinegar
Spread this paste over the meat. Put
the meat in a large frying pan and
cover with an onion very thinly
sliced. Pour " cup boiling water in
one side Of the pan very carefully. Do
not let the water disturb the paste or
onion. Cover closely and put in a slow
oven for at least an hour and a half.
When ready to serve, dot with butter
and sprinkle with minced parsley.
There will be absolutely no taste of
vinegar or mustard. but the meat will
be very tender. The vinegar is used
to soften the tough fibers rather than
give flavor.

How to Be Rid of
Dangerous Dandrufi

If you have dandruf you must get
rid of it quick-it's positively danger
Gus and will surely destroy your hair
If you don't.
Dandruffy heads mean faded, brit
tie, gray, scraggly hair that will not
grow-then you are bald and nothing
can help you.
The only sure way to abolish dan1-
ruff for good is to destroy the germ
that causes it. To do this quickly,
surely, and safely there is nothing as
effective as Partisan sage, which you
can get at any good druggists with
guarantees that it will keep away all
dandruff. stop itching scalp and fall
ing hair. and stimulate new growth,
or the cost, small as it is, will be re-
funded.
Partisan sage is a scientific prepare
ton that supplies all hair needs-an
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky or
greasy. easy to use, and daintily per-
fumed.
