Quickly Cooked Meat Dishes.

EYoR the business woman small
meat dishes are handy. The
amount TO be prepared Is gov.
erned BY the size OF the family. but
a quarter of a pound OF meat each
is plenty. Two chops or a generous
helping OF other meat that Is about
equal to the chops is a good rule
TO 20 by. Second helpings are not
supposed TO be called for with veg
etables and other things.
Dreaded Lamb Chops.
Buy six heavy rib chops for three
people. Have the butcher skin and
crack the bones. Take a sharp knife
and cut the bones out OF the chops
neatly. then roll them and pin with
a wooden toothpick. When ready

fresh soft crumbs, dust with pepper
and salt, then put in a frying pan

bud OF garlic. then heated. and a
heaping tablespoonful Of butter has
been put in long enough 70 melt.
Law in the chops and turn the
flame down TO medium and cover
closely. When the chops start to
cook, turn them frequently. When
ready TO brown them give a little
more heat.
A tomato sauce may be served or

the bones, a little celery. a minced
onion and a pint OF water and cook
until the meat comes off the bones.

are done and lifted pour in the
gravy. heat. season. thicken with
roux, then strain into a hot gravy
boat and serve with the chops.
Sometimes a small can OF tomatoes
IS added TO the broth. Serve on a
hot dish garnished with parsley.
Lambs Hearts.
Allow ore heart 10 each person.
Wash, trim and parboil the hearts
IN lightly sailed water until tender,
then remove. trim and slice in me-
dunn slices. Meantime, take a large
can Of tomatoes and add TO them a
minced onion. a half cupful or
chopped celery. a half bay leaf. pep
per. salt. a saltspoonful OF curry
powder. and two tablespoonfuls OF
sugar. Cook gently for a half hour.

cestershire sauce, thicken with roux

patriot had been shot away.
But it was not by shell and shrapnel that the
war did its greatest damage. The brain and
nervous system of many a soldier suffered from
the worries, the distress, the dangers. the loss Of
sleep and the miseries of the war. Greater harm
was done by shock of nerves than by the cruelties
of lead and iron.
