Cuts of Meat

In A general way we know that
we should not use a choice Delmon
leo steak to cut up for soup or stew,
but the average housewife is not al
ways sure about the very best meth
DDS of utilizing the less expensive
cuts so as to get the utmost in flavor
and food value.
Beginning with the homely but
nourishing and Savory stews, the best
cuts to use for this are the chuck
combined with cubes of lamb from
the shoulder Although the chuck
has rather large proportion of bone
and some fat, Yet the first cut makes
good oven roast or pot roast, so
II is we'll ii the housekeeper remem-
bers that this is d versatile cut, It's
use not limited to stews.
For boiled fresh beef there are
cross ribs. brisket and rump. Grant
ing that boiled beef Is not popular
with us because of our extravagant
hankerings after choice chops and
prime ribs, yet the woman who is
making a careful study OF her food
budget should not fail to include this
nourishing dish once a week in her
menus. Served with a horseradish
sauce 1t may be made very delicious
In preparing boiled beef tie the
piece with string so as TO insure a
serving, plunge into boiling water so
as to scar the surface and keep in
the juices. add salt and "A good sup
ply Of vegetables, and simmer very
gently until done. The slow cooking
is what renders the tougher fbers

tractive name of pot roast" boiled.
or rather simmered, beef may come
to take an honorable place on our
tables.
Coming to the more popular steaks.
our old friend the chuck is still with
US. as 1t makes very good favored
steak. although, of course, not so
tender as u round or porterhouse.
\ good way to prepare chuck
steak is to braise it I'm the oven in
covered pan with a brown or to-
mato gravy poured round 1t. The
steam OF the sauce Of gravy helps
to make the chuck steak tender.
Then there are the porterhouse

Another important group of bever-
;ges ts the fruit juice group.
While these fruit drinks are most
in evidence during the summer
months. the housewife who presides
over a simple table should be encour-
aged to serve fruit juice all the year.
Wo understand as never before the
valua BILE salts carried by the fruits
and we know that plentiful supply

will go far toward keeping up the
balance OF the dietary at moderate
coxt.
That old-time favorite, lemon ado, is
made by boiling together one cup Of
sugar and two cups OF water for
twelve minutes. Then add one third
cup Of lemon juice. Cool and dilute

lemon syrup may be bottled and kept

1t has been found tfat a very young
baby and his mother need fully as
much energy In their food as the
mother did during tie period before
the baby was born. For example. a
baby month old who is nursing
takes about two and a third ounces
of the mothers milk for each pound

THE FAMILY ALTER.
BY C. s. MAYHEM.

The habits and customs formed at
home usually affect our lives on the out.
side and we do not think there is any
hing that influences the life like the
Family Alter. In reading the life's stony
of the worlds greatest men we canr0t
fail 20 be impressed with the sacredntss
and high estimation placed upon this IN
stitutlon of The home. From tender
youth down to hoary hairs there seem TO
linger sweet recoIlections of times when
the Bible was read and the family were
called to PRAYER daily.
fhe first influence felt from the obser-
vance of this means Of grace is the spirit
of unjty in the home. Father, Mother,
children, and even servants are brought
into the presence If God on one plain.
They worship God ard all through the
day their lives a G made fragrant by it.
All seem to work in harmony with each
Other and thereby harsh, cruel and I'M
kind words find no place. But in the alb.
sence Of the Family Altar everything
goes wrong. The children are f%rettul,
servants miss the friendly good morning
and parents are at cross swords with
each other.
Another influence issuing from the
Family Altar is that Of a due regard fer
the Bible. This IS also OF tremendous
importance in the home. When pareD3s
place the proper value on the Bible it
instilIs into the mind and heart OF the
children a reverence and respect for
Gods divine com hands. lhis will natu-
rally serve 10 hiad4r them from know
ingiy violate His Word. The Family
Altar should more so be erected TO serve
this purpose since the Bible mas been ia
ken out Of our public schools.
We may 90 on to give the many iniu-
ences which the Family Altar make in
the homeiife as we'll as the outside life
but it is not necessary. The purpose of
this message is to call yon back to old
customs which have had a lasting affect
upon men of all ages. The FAMILY
ALTAR was erected in almost every
home throughout christendOm but many
have drifted away from this mOoring.
Business, pleasure and almost every
thing else is taxing its place but 1t pays
US TO spend some m with God daily.
The burdens of lie are iightened. tie
cares seem fewer and a bond OF fellow
ship exists between the soul and God.
Many a care-wOrn man or woman has
found mnch hope for a brighter life while
tnlnKIng upon the time their mothers
drew them about there knees at the Fam
lily Altar.
In closing let me say that what we are
in the home the church will be. We can
never be spiritual christians in the church
when the family altar is neglected and
the Bible is left on the shelf TO gather
dust and be eaten by moths. Ask We

TELEPHONE employees
NUMBER OVER $4,000
Increase In Single Year Large Enough
To Constitute City Like
Miami, Fla.

There are more people employed in
the telephone industry in the United
States than the entire populations OF
Wyoming and Nevadas combined
more than all the Inhabitants of either
Arizona or Delaware, as shown by the
latest census.
Over 100000 persons are now en-
gagged in the telephone business in
this country, and this total does not
include the many, thousands of Other
workers who are employed in the man
ufacture of telephone apparatus and
equipment.
During the past year the number
of telephone employees increased by
over 10000, or in other words the tele.
phone. industry afforded employment
to enough new workers to populate a
city the size of Miami, Fla. This in.
crease was largely made up of addi-
ions to the plant and traffic forces of
the telephone companies throughout
the country. 1t reflects the strenuous
efforts that are required to erect, op
crate and maintain the additional
plant and equipment required to meet
the continually increasing demands
for service.
