With this issue, we offer in, GU
rent order, set of four charts
having to do with the cuts of
: meats-beef, pork, mutton and veal
and with special reference to the
uses of the various cuts.
While certain cuts of beef, for
instance, are more fashionable and
stylish" than others, the fact re-
mains that there are an endless ar
ray of wholesome and delicious
recipes using the less costly cuts.
Also, it is well to keep in mind
that it is more profitable to pur-
chase even most modest cut from
a shop dealing in prime quality
rather than a more modish cut but
from beef of inferior grade.
Speaking of beef quality-First
quality beef has a smooth covering
of brittle, creamy white fat over
most of the exterior. The lean is
of bright cherry red, spotted with
creamy fat. The texture is firm and
smooth and the grain is fine. In
young beef, the bones will be found

Splendid Response To Sunday

Here we start a new contest
The Sunday Dinner contest has
brought thousands of replies. 1t
has created a great deal of interest.
We feel it has renewed the popu-
larity Of Sunday dinners in many
home. It is time to keep moving to
newer fields.
So now, at the suggestion of sew
eral housewives who read this page
regularly, we shall continue the
prizes but give them for UN-
USUAL RECIPES.
Send in your most unusual
recipe. 1t may be for a cake, a pie,
a gravy, an entree or a biscuit or
what not-but the prizes will go to
the senders of the novel and un-
usual. And each week we shall
publish the recipes which win the
prizes.
To start the ball rolling, here are
one or two of our own, which illus
trate the point:

TOT
"Toti" in Balkan languages has
something to do with "all" -
everything" etc. So to make a
"toti", take a skewer and upon it
place, alternately, small pieces Of
liver, kidneys, egg plant, tomato,
bacon and green pepper. Season
with pepper and salt. Place under
the broiler and broil as chops are
broiled. Skewers may be had from
any "gadget" dealer where house
hold goods are sold. A skewer
about a foot in length will hold
enough for two portions. This is
an interesting dish for late party
suppers when the group is small.
"a handy way to set up the skew
ers in the broiler is to cut the ends
from raw potatoes, stand them up
and let them serve as foundations
upon which to set the skewers
while broiling.)

Modern Refrigerator Becomes

1t is necessary to buy it throueb

satisfaction.

ing any piece of mechanical equip
ment. So when you give considera-
ton to the choice of refrigerator
pay particular attention to the man
from whom you are going to buy
it. If there was ever time when
the home town business man prov
ed his right to live it is when he is
rousted out at all hours of the day
or night and asked to hurry
around.
Of course, if you have been
thinking of a refrigerator, you
have probably sent for a mass of
catalogs and booklets. The living
room is probably holding heap of
them. 1t is wise to study them
carefully.
And the next move is this: Make
a list of all the local dealers who
carry refrigerators and carefully
make the rounds. Go to each man
and talk the matter over. A good
refrigerator will last for years. It
is a major investment. It is well
worth the extra time and trouble
put into careful shopping around.
Incidentally, as warm weather
approaches, thousands who have
been delaying rush suddenly for
refrigerators. Giving the dealer
time to do an outstanding job Of
installation and getting everything
running nicely is something that
will pay its own reward and it
comes as result of buying a little
ahead of the rush.

Larger Cuts OF Meat -
Fresher Vegetables Make
1t One Thing You Can't
Afford Not To Have

In this day and age, it isn't a
question of whether or not you can
afford modern refrigerator. The
simple fact is that the more care
fully one plans the household food
budget, the more important the
good, practical refrigerator be-
comes. So it isn't matter of af-
fording one-the important thing
is, one can't afford not to have one.
A modern refrigerator is some
thing for which the home owner
pays whether it is on the job or
not. And we are not putting any
cash value now upon convenience
or the pleasure and satisfaction of
having nice refrigerator. We are
counting the cost in dollars and
cents and realizing that we pay for
it in the food we can save and in
the more economical buying we can
do. We can buy larger cuts of
meat upon bargain day and carry
the leftover portion for days in
our refrigerator. We can buy
fruit and berries by the case and
save the difference. We can take
advantage of opportunities without
realizing that what we save
through fortunate buys we throw
away because of spoilage.
The modern refrigerator is as
far advanced over the old fash
icned "ice box" as the high pow
cred mazda light is advanced over
the tallow dip. Skilled engineering
and shrewd planning has brought
upon the market many excellent
refrigerators. The housewife who
is giving serious thought to the
subject may well find herself puz-
zled and confused as to her choice.
Each make seems to have some
thing of peculiar advantage.
We cannot attempt, in this little
article, to guide the buyers choice,
but there are few important facts
which no buyer must overlook.
Like everything else which is
mechanical, the refrigerator occas-
ionally needs to be "serviced."

Wine Collecting As Exciting As

man of wealth cannot possibly de-
rive such pleasure. To him no

much time in pleasant thought,

"A Few Odd Bottles OF Hook
elmer, 1921 Can Bring Rare
Joy To Many-Dinner Ar
ranged Around One Bottle
By Sidney Snow

To the family which has a nice
appreciation of wines, collecting is
as exciting as opening. The man Of
wealth whose wine merchant can
send up case after case Of import
ant wines as the supply becomes
depleted, there never comes the
rare Joy of finding, at an interest
ing price, a few odd bottles of
wine like, say, Hocheimer 1921.
We found that in small Italian
restaurant in down town New York
q case of that lovely wine had
strayed practically by accident. The
Italian himself did not know its
worth. To him, the wines of Ger
many were almost as nothing. He
had this wine on his list at three
dollars the bottle. We felt that that
indicated either an oversight or
improper labelling, but we decided
to see what it was that appeared
under that name at such price.
To our intense plesure and excite
ment we found it was genuine. We
talked about it with the Italian.
He said he had bought one case as
part of general stock, but that in
almost two years, he had sold only
a few bottles and there were still
five left. We took them all off his
hands and carried them home with
Joy. Now they rest peacefully on
our little wine rack. We look for
ward with mingled pleasure and re-
gret at the thought of opening
even the first one. Still, the day
will come when there viii be a
guest who will understand and
properly value this wine and then
we will serve to each one glass in
lieu Of a cocktail. 1t win be slipped
slowly and thoughtfully with due
consideration for bouquet and bril-
lance. And there viii be much talk
of other vintages.
Already we plan the food to ar
range around this single fine bot
tie. There will be, first, slices Of
cold melon and with each slice q
Fthin shaving of firm Westphalian
phsm. Then we shall prepare fillets
nof sole or, possibly, paddock in
white wine, but for the cooking we
shall use white wine from our jug
>of native sauternes. Well provide
. bland salad Of nuts and apples
and celery. And then we shall care
fully sip the last Of our bottle Of
Hocheimer.
When it is all gone, we shall sit
back and ponder the greatness Of
fine white wine and then we shall
say "Ah well, everything must give
way in time"-and then turn back
coffee and cheese and then sip port
wine.
Now, there you have an argu-
ment in favor of the poor man with
