How tOChOOseBeef

Different cuts of beef from the same
animal vary greatly in tenderness.
The home maker not only has to know
how to choose beef In the market but
how to prepare whatever cut she buys
to bring out its best qualities. Appe-
tizing dishes can he made from all
cuts of beef so that purchases may
fit any budget
Recipes for a number of different
cuts of beef have been worked out by
the bureau of nome economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and published in leaflet for free
distribution. The principal points in
cooking the more tender cuts are:
Soaring the surface of the meat first
at a high temperature for a short time
or until a well-favored brown coating
is formed, reducing the temperature
so as to finish cooking at moderate
heat; in the case of rOaStS, using q
rOast-meat thermometer in the center
of the roast to indicate when the
meat is rare, medium, or we'll done.
Beef is rare between the temperatures
of 100 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
medium between 100 and 10 degrees
Fahrenheit, and well done at about
$50 degrees Fahrenheit AS many peo-
pie like mushroom sauce with their
steak and Yorkshire pudding with rib
roast of beef, these recipes are also
given in the leafiet.

Lafayette Square

7 LAFAYETTE square, that seven
~ acre, park-like place just across
''The Avenue" from the home of the
President Of the United States, was so
named by the Father of His Country
and first used as parade ground for
troops. Today it is an ideal spot in
which to sit and dream on summer
day.
An assortment of trees mottle the
sunshine on the lawn, winding walks
invite, benches lure; trusting pigeons
and squirrels beg; five noteworthy
monuments bid for attention-one TO
General Lafayette, another to Kos
ciusko-the hero of Saratoga; a third
to Rochambeau, who came to Amer
lea with an army to assist Washing
ton; a fourth to Won Steuben-who
proffered his services to congress and
became instructor general of the Con-
tinental army; the fifth-a huge
bronze casting affair, said to be the
first successfully made in America, to
Andrew Jackson.
Much of the history Of the past
century was made in the mansions
which have surrounded this plot.
Among these-the home and office of
our Chief Executive; former social
institution which includes the famous
Dolly Madison house; the former Brit
ish legation where the Ashburton
treaty was framed; a venerable house
of worship-the Presidents church;
homes of John Hay, secretary of
state under Roosevelt, Daniel Web
ster, George Bancroft-the historian.
Commander Stephen Decatur-hero of
the Tripolitan war, where, subse-
quently, Russian minister and three
secretarys of state are said to have
lived and another where three secre-
taries of the navy have resided.
