to the tiny fleckS and streaks Of
fat scattered through the lean.
Good grade beef is used most
widely by those who want quality
at moderate price. The fat cover
ing on this beef is thinner, and the
cut surface of the lean shows some
marbling of fat.
Commercial" beef has very little,
if any, excess fat. The fat cover
ing is thin and the cut lean meat
shows practically no marbling OF
fat.
Utility" beef has even less fat
covering and rarely any fat mar
bling through the lean. This grade
of beef is not satisfactory for oven
roasting or broiling. but can be used
to advantage in pot roasts, stews
and similar dishes. There are other
differences in the grades, too, but
most of them can be observed only
by expert meat graders.
Important to the consumer is the
fact that the grade does not reflect
nutritive values. Every one of the
grades can be a good buy If the
homemaker knows how to get the
best out of it by proper cooking.
For instance, top round or rump
steak from a choice grade of beef
will be tender enough and have
enough fat on 1t to make an ex-
cellent piece to broil. But this
same steak from a commercial
grade would be better made up into
a Swiss steak with some added
moisture and a lid on the pan to
keep in the steam and help soften
the connective tissue. Both make
equally nourishing food and both
have good flavor But it takes the
right kind of cooking to bring out
the best in each.
Federal meat grading started less
than IS years ago-at the request
of meat distributors and producers.
Every year, since 1927, it has ex-
panded. At first beef was the only
meat graded In 1890 lamb and
veal were added. Pork is regularly
not graded for the consumer trade,
according to Mr.. Fraser. because
large percentage of the pork pro-
duced in this country does not vary
a lot in quality.
Today Government graded meat
is available in most large cities and
in many towns from coast to coast.

Formal Notes
Only Sent
By Wife
Husband Does Own
Personal Letters
OF Appreciation
By EMILY POST.

The wife does write their invita-
tions. answer invitations sent to
them. and write their thank-you
notes, but under all ordinary con-
ditions she does not otherwise write
her husbands letters. While un-
usual, the following situation illus
trates the secondary part she takes
when the obligation is his not hers:
Some time ago my husband was
in an automobile accident, and
lady living near the scene of the
accident saved his life by her knowl-
edge of first aid. My husband has
recovered and he now feels that we
should do something about thanking
this kind lady He even talks of
buying a present for her But he
thinks since he is married man,
all this should be done by me for
him. On the other hand, I think he
is the one to write. including my
appreciation with his of course. and
I can't imagine what kind of present
would be suitable for strangers to
send her"
I agree that he is the one to write
and include you in his thanks rather
! than the other way around If he
has been laid up long while you
might have written note to express
your own gratitude until he could
do something himself. But now that
he is able to go out, think you and
he together should go to see this
person and thank her. Kindness as
impossible to value as hers, cannot
be requited with however many
dollars you may happen to spend.
If I were you I should send her the
loveliest flowers I could afford to
buy. 7 think I should send them
after the visit. l would not suggest
giving her a present-unless her
conversation suggests something

getting" Mr.. Fraser points out, "the
purple grade stamp indicates the
quality of the meat"
This purple grade stamp vouches
for the fact that the meat has been
judged for quality by competent
officials. On a large cut of meat
this stamp has the appearance OF
narrow, pale purple ribbon. A close
up view shows the grade name
printed clearly over and over. with
A. M. S., the initials Of the Agricul-
tural Marketing Service, stamped
occasionally. The grade stamp will
appear on every retail cut.
Also purple. but not to be confused
with the grade identification, is the
round stamp used in Federal meat
inspection. The round purple stamp
shows that the meat has passed the
inspection of other Federal experts
who examined it for its wholesome
ness as food.
Both stamps are Of harmless vege-
table coloring and need not be cut
off before cooking.
"Of all our meat-grading services,
we consider the grading OF beef the
most helpful" Mr.. Fraser says. For
beef is perhaps the most difficult
of all meats for the inexperienced
shopper to Judge. Also Americans
eat much more beef than they do
lamb or veal
The homemaker who learns the
beef grades and their position on
the quality scale will also know the
grades of lamb and veal, because
they are identical. In descending
order as to their quality, the five
grades of beef sold on the butchers
block are-"prine," "choice." good" "
commercial and utility"
Ordinarily butchers will keep on
hand only one of these grades. Less
than l per cent of all beef produced
can meet the requirements of
prime grade. Consequently, most
of this top grade goes to dining
rooms and restaurants catering to
a luxury trade.
Choice" therefore, is the highest
grade of beef available for the most
discriminating retail trade. Choice
meat has a moderately thick cover
ing of white or creamy white fat.
The lean meat is bright in appear

situations which one runs into, eSpe-
cially in doing over old furniture,
that take infinite patience and extra
effort. Very often when the surface
varnlsh is removed it is evident that
the supposed dark wood beneath is
pine with a reddish pigment cover
ing it to give the effect of cherry
or mahogany This red pigment was
mixed, in the old days, with SKIM
milk or buttermilk and painted onto
the wood because it covered all knots
and imperfections. Varnish remover
will not remove this paint and it is
one of the most eXasperating Of all
colors to get out of the grain. Some
times it is impossible, and after all
the sanding and finishing there still
is a reddish glow under the surface.
1t is not unattractive, and dealers
have come to recognize it as the
mark of an old piece. whether or not
it may be good one.
To remove this red film it is nee
essary to keep the surface moist with
denatured alcohol while it is rubbed
with sandpaper or steel wool. This
will get most of it, but if it has pene-
trated deep into the soft wood some
will remain in spite of all you may
do.
To remove dark spots, including
ink, use a saturated solution of OK
alic acid. Apply with brush or cloth
and let stand 10 minutes. Repeat If
necessary and then wash with
weak solution of ammonia water. If
this does not remove the spot it
will have to be sanded out. Sand
this with the greatest care so as not
to destroy the nellowness of the old
surface.
In removing layers of paint,
enamel may be especially resistant
and require three applications of
remover before it starts to come off
Small dents and holes will hold the
paint when the smooth surfaces are
cleared. Work on these holes with
an orange wood stick dipped in re-
mover. When cleaned they may be
filled and become almost unnotice-
able. When the furniture is oiled
and cleaned to your satisfaction,
you are ready for the next step. In
the meantime you might get sheets
of very fine sandpaper, bundle of
very fine steel wool and one of me-
dium, a sheet of white blotting
paper, some stick shellac to match
the wood, a pot of good glue, a
length of cotton rope and two yards
of strong unbleached muslin. With
this equipment you will be ready
for the restoring process which we
offer next week.

Smelling Offers
Butcher Service
To Farmers

Wayne G. Smelling, long con-
nected with the meat business in
Newark, recently announced a
new service to farmers in this
community, wherein he is doing
custom butchering to the farm
er's own requirements at a very
reasonable cost.
Mr. Smelling points out that a
considerable saving in inspection
charges can be made by bring
ing the livestock to be butcher
ed to a central slaughter house,
where all animals can be in
spected at one time.
Hogs OF beef are killed and
quartered, sausage made, and
lard rendered if this service is
desired, as we'll as meat cut to
individual specification.
All butchering is done at the

On February 1, 1905, ]. F.
Callander opened a small dry
cleaning plant in a building To-
Gated on the corner of Fourth
and Church streets, where the
Masonic temple now stands.
When the undertaking was in
its infancy, or until 1909 all
work was done by hand. In
that year the first forerunner
of the modern pressing device
was installed. In those first
early years two employees and
Mr.. Callander composed the per-
sonnel of the company.
After being in the Fourth and
Church street location for five
years, Mr.. Callander felt the
need of expansion, and made ar
rangement for the removal of
the plant to the property first
door south of the Congregation
al church on North Fourth
street, and in 1918 it was moved
to it's present site.
The concern was operated un-
til 1919 by j. F. Callander. In
that year his brother, Lawrence
|. Callander, was discharged
from the United States Navy
and was taken into partnership
to help conduct the steadily
growing business. About four
years ago ]. F. Callander, Jr.,
was also taken into the firm
as a partner.
From the inception of the
company when all the work was
done by hand, the Callander
Cleaning company now boasts
seven modern pressing machines.
A minimum of IA men and wom-
en- are employed the year
around with the total person
mel running around twenty dur
ing the more busy season.
Due to a city ordinance re-
stricting the operation of clean
ing plants proper in certain
zones, the actual cleaning is
done in a building along the
Licking river, just back of the
old city Jail in East Newark.
Great changes have been made
in cleaning methods and mate
rial. The Stoddard solvent now
used by Callanders is practically
non-explosive, although there is
some danger attached to the
fumes during warm weather
which makes it necessary to in
sure good ventilation.
Persistent spots and stains
are removed, and repairing and
pressing is done at the uptown
headquarters of the company. A
delivery service is maintained
and calls are answered prompt
ly.
Many types of articles are
cleaned in their modern plant.
Household items include rugs,
furniture, curtains and drap-
cries. Other apparel articles
serviced include sweaters, hats,
gloves, dresses, neckties, etc.
Progress in the cleaning in
dustry has been steady, and it
can be said of ]. F. Callander
and his associates that they
have kept in step through the
years and have become recog-
nized among the leaders in that
field of endeavor in Newark.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Callander
left the first of this week for
Hollywood, Fla, where they will
enjoy a months vacation and a
we'll deserved rest.
