GOOD PORK SAUSAGE RECIPE
Homemade Product Favored More
by Many People Than Any That
Is on the Market.

Many people like homemade sau-
sage cakes better than any other on
the market. An excellent pork sau-
sage may be made by using three
parts of fresh lean pork to one of
fat pork, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says. Cut into
small pieces and pass through meat
grinder, using a rather coarse plate.
Weigh the meat, and for each pound
add two teaspoonfuls SALT a pinch Of
sage, few grains of ground nutmeg,
and a saltspoonful Of black pepper.
Mix thoroughly and pass again through
meat grinder, using small plate. Form
into little round or fiattened cakes
and fry in deep fat until nicely
Drowned.

MILLIONS OF SHOES WASTED
Annual Loss to Country Placed at
$250,000,000 by Bureau of Chem
istry-PoorIy Shaped.

The 105,000,00O people of the United
States buy about 3OO0O0,O0O pairs of
shoes year. Their needs could be
supplied by 250,000,00O pairs, if the
shoes were well cared for and kept in
repair. The wasting of single shoe
year by each person costs the coun-
try at least $250,000,O0O at present
prices. says the bureau of chemistry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
Shoes of poor shape are one cause of
waste. Attractive shoes of good shape
combine comparatively straight inner
lines, rounded toes, heels of medium
height, and moderately thick soles, all
of which make for greater service
ability, comfort and safety.

Fill the holes with previously cooked
