Meat Specialties
By Violet Faulkner

With meat available once more, 1t
seems like a good time to say some
thing about the parts of beef, veal,
pork and lamb that we speak of as
"meat sundries" or meat special
ties" They are highly nutritious
and in some cases are unusually
good sources of minerals and vita
minis. They are not used as much
as they should be, perhaps for the
reason that people are not too IA
miliar with their preparation. Since
their physical structure is different
than the muscular part of the ami
NAL, the method of preparation is
likewise different.
BRAINS AND SWEETBREADS.
Brains and sweetbreads are
good deal alike in texture and ten
derness. Both require some pre-
liminary preparation before you can
proceed with the cooking proper
To precook, first they should be
washed in cold water, then simmer
gently for Is minutes in water to
which l teaspoon of salt and l
tablespoon of vinegar have been add
ed to each quart OF water used. The
acid tends to make them more firm,
also helps to keep them white.
After the precooking, drain and
drop them into cold water. Brains
can be broken into small pieces and
added to scrambled eggs; dipped in
egg and fried in fat until golden
brown or dipped in butter and
broiled.
Sweetbreads may be used in much
the same manner. They are good
Dreaded and Drowned in fat; added
to creamed chicken; braised with
ham with white grapes added later
HEART AND TONGUE.
Heart and tongue are muscular
organs, therefore not as tender as
the two above. The heart and
tongue of calf, lamb, pork are, of
course, smaller than those of beef,
you will also find them more ten
der than the matured beef. Tongue
is often used for picking, corning
or smoking.
In cooking heart, it needs to be
washed thoroughly and some OF the
veins and arteries cut away. Soak
ing in vinegar water helps to ten
derize it. Then place the heart in
a good-sized kettle and cover with
water, add salt and cook at a low
temperature for 21a to 4 hours, de-
pending on the kind and size of
the heart. Stuffing heart and brais-
ing it is another method.
Fresh tongue is prepared the
same way, adding spices or vege-
tables to the water for seasoning
After the tongue Is tender the skin

APPLESAUCE CAKE.

from Mrs. E. L., Takonld Park
Perhaps some one can tell me what
to do for my floors. We just rented
a house, and the floors look as
though there is chewing gum all over
them. 1t may be wax but it doesn't
come off WITH scrubbing or mopping.
The floors are also dlScolored with
dark and light stains and SCARED.

Life was apparently q difficult
and precarious business for young,
attractive widow in 1900!
Mr.. Weiss tells us that the
sketches were first drawn in 1s0o-l
by Mr.. Gibson and given away with
subscriptions to the old Life" mag
azine. CA magazine devoted to
humor, it was similar to the Brit
ish Punch The Royal Doulton
firm, in England, quite aware OF
the popularity of the Gibson Girl,
manufactured the set of blue and
white 10H-inch service plates. The
pictures are shown in black and
white.
Four of the plates, spotted in q
local antique shop, launched Mr..
Weiss on his search for the set.
His discovery of THE Gibson Book"
containing the entire series OF
sketches, helped him arrange the
plates in proper sequence.
AS far as Mr.. Weiss knows, there
are only six other sets in this coun-
try. The plates, he points out, are
certainly not antiques-he claims a
true antique should have passed
the century mark. But their merit
as interesting pieces of Americana

LOOP STITCH.
From Mrs. E. J. P, Washington J
To the lady who asked for direc-
tions for making the loop stitch. I
think this is what she wants. Make
chain, or start chain stitch and
pull out to desired length. Put
needle through, bring thread back
through, thus forming stitch, then
place needle between the thread and
long loop. Catch the thread and
pull through and make single
crochet. Keep needle in stitch and
pull next loop or long stitch to
length of first and proceed as for
first stitch; now you have something
looks like eyeglasses or the figure 8
loop on each end with the connec-
tions in between loops. If you want
to trim handkerchiefs you make two
/ loops, then fasten in edge of goods
(of course, you start by catching in
goods firsD. When you come to the
second, pass over the fastening in
goods and connect the loose knot,
or connection. Those connections
make the work beautiful. They
resemble daisies scattered around
through the loops. Pretty if you
keep it straight, don't let it get too

From, Mrs. r. N. c., Takon1a Park
I would be so happy if some of
your readers could help me find out
if it is possible to obtain barbecue
beef, as you get it on rolls in delica-
lessen shops. Can you get it already
prepared, or is there a way of pre-
pairing it at home?
I find it very satisfactory to use
my empty dextrimaltose cans for
heating baby's milk. Just fill the
can half full of water and place the
bottle in it right over the flame
The milk will heat more quickly and
evenly, and you don't have to dirty
your cooking ware. Use can for
a week and then dispose of it
and use another.
I would like also to know how to
make good meat loaf, so that it
has an even taste, not hunks of
onion and celery here and there, all
fine and even, yet with the onion
and celery flavor.

And the boy that asked the question,
Was pale and thinly clad.
The gentleman who was passing
Slackened not his hurried pace,
Nor saw the disappointment
On the little eager face.
It was on the eve before Christmas
And through the falling snow,
The crowds OF holiday shoppers
Were hurrying to and fro.
All laden with Christmas bundles,
All merry with laugh and Jest,
But none ever stopped to listen
To the little waits request.
