N WHEN walked into the test
( kitchen the Chef was pounding a
large piece of beef with a wooden
mallet.
"rhis is the utility beef which
rs back on the Market" he ex-
planned. ut is not the filet mignon,
1t is not the porterhouse; it is a
Y piece of brisket for the pot-roast,
but it can be made just as tender as
the prime beef" A few more
thumps with the mallet and he held
It up.
81 "That ought to make fine pot
roast" l said. "But I never saw
such thick piece of meat pounded
before. Usually we pound thinner
cuts such as round steak or veal for
scalloppini."
Same Principle
"But Madame, the principle is
the same. l find it makes the tex
ture much more tender, no matter
how thick it is. This grass-fed utility
beef has just come home from the
range. AS you know, Madame, when
cattle feed on grass, the muscles be-
come tough and the meat becomes
stringy. There is not much fat in
the fibres of the meat like you have
from the cattle that feed on corn.
So after pounding this grass-fed
beef to make tender, we have to
add some fat"
"That's a good explanation"
said. "Now I suppose you're going
to lard the meat?"
"You mean to put the fat in
through the meat?"
"Yes-you take that long larding
needle, put thin 2 inch strip of
fat salt pork into the end, and draw
it through the raw meat; these salt
pork strips, called lardoons, should
be introduced in at least a dozen
places for 8 or 4 lb. pot-roast of
utility beef"
"Ah, oui, that is the best way to
put into the stringy meat the fat
that should be there. We chefs al
ways use that method"
But in case some of our readers
don't have larding needles, we'll
have to give different method" l
said.
at is not difficult to put the salt
pork through the meat on the out
side" the Chef went on. "You just
make slash with a sharp knife and
push the salt pork through it."
"But how can we get some fat salt
pork into the center of the meat ?"
Wooden Skewer
"That can be done by making a
long hole in the meat with an ice
pick or a thick wooden skewer," he
explained. "Tlfen you push very
thin strip of salt pork way down
into the opening of the broad end
of the skewer. The meat closes up
over it, ct VOLTA! Now there's some-
thing else will do to this pot-roast
to make it tender. will add little
vinegar in the cooking. And for a
special treat l will prepare it in
the style of Sweden with an
chovies for the seasoning"

Influenza Still
Evudes Control
By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.


UNDERSTANDING Of epidemic
influenza has grown apace during
the past few years, but even so the
disease still evades control.
Influenza is caused by q virus,
and the two common strains Of this
tiny troublemaker have been iso-
lated and identified as influenza A
and influenza B. Fear of 4 disas-
trous outbreak, such as that expert
enced in 1918, spurred research dur
ing the late war, with the result
that scientists learned something
about when an epidemic of influenza
might be expected to strike. 1t was
determined that in the United States
epidemics of influenza A have oe-
Cured at two to three-year inter-
walls, while those due to influenza B
recurred in four to six-year pat
tern.
Not only this, but . vaccine for
the prevention of influenza was pro-
duced. Containing both strains Of
the virus. it was thought that it
would be effective against either and
for time it was.
Great Strides
These were great strides forward.
With the means of predicting an epi-
demic and a method for immunizing
against the disease. it seemed we
had everything needed to check it.
And then suddenly, during the
epidemics of 1916 and 1947, the
vaccine seemed to lose its power to
combat the virus. Usually, those
who had been immunized fell i'll
with just as great frequency as
those who had not.
A search for the cause Of this
unexpected failure of a vaccine,
which had proved so valuable dur
ing the Immediately preceding
years, led to the conclusion that
the virus strains had undergone
some mysterious change. In some
way not yet understood, the wiley
virus had been able to alter its con-
stitution just enuogh to make it i'm
pervious to the antibodies built up
in the blood by the vaccine.
Thus today, for all our research,
we are not much further forward.
Unless new strains of the virus can
be isolated from cases in advance
of future epidemics and incorpo-
rated in the vaccine, it cannot be sx-
pected to do much good in the way
of prevention.
No Specific Treatment
Unfortunately, we have no spe-
citic treatment for influenza either.
About all that an Re done il to
keep the patient in bed and give
him plenty of fluids and ouietinr
drugs. The breathing of medicated
steam or vapor may also prove help
full.
On the other hand, the new WON
der drugs such as penicillin and
streptomycin and the older sulfona-
mide preparations do give us fine
weapons against the dangerous
complications of influenza caused
by germs. These include infections
of the sinuses and lungs.
1t is not. however. advisable to
give these drugs unless complica.
tions occur. To give them in every
case may result in toxic reacations,
and many persons become sensitive
to the drugs. But when properly en-
ployed. the fulfonamide drugs and
penicillin or streptomyein may be
life-saving in the severely-ill pa
tient suffering from influenza and
its complications.

his arms, the center of our talk for
the next half hour. Then, as Faiths
eyelids began to droop, although
she strove valiantly to keep them
open, he gave me questioning look
and l nodded.
"Now, darling" he said, 81 really
must leave, and want you to give
me a bear hug, and a great big
kiss, and then trot off to sleep with
Aunt Katharine"
Katharine already was at his
side. and when Faith, true TO her
promise, made no word of protest
but gave him the hug and K for
which he had asked, my kins-
woman took the little girls hand
and went through her usual round
of nightly farewell. Faith is most
meticulous in saying an affection

Hands Need Frequent Creoming

nails may have to have more than
the usual attention.
Before applying cuticle cream to
the flesh surrounding the nails give
the hands scrubbing with warm
soap suds and brush That little
rite softens the flesh so that the
cream sinks in and is more effective
than if applied to surface that is
not warm and glowing.
Detach the cuticle from the nail
fabric by sending the orange wood
stick in little circles. Let us hope
that no hang nails are present but,
if you have to snip them away with
the curved, needle-point scissors,
clip from the nail base toward the
cave so as not to make a wound.

Dancing Lessons
Some skillful teachers give group
dancing lessons to tots, which in
volve variety of balancing exer-
cises and require group cooperation.
But most dancing lessons for young
children aim at training them like
seals to do fancy stunts to be shown
off to adults. Granting that the child
may gain thereby somewhat in
physical grace, he tends to lose in
actual social grace, the kind that
makes him more ready to be ac-
cepted by his normal playmates and
share wholesome fun with them.
Nearly always, any such achieve
ment as in fancy dancing, which
causes the child to win attention of
adults tends to render him less fit
to have normal fun with other chill
dren of his age. Then see what he
loses. my bulletin, "The Child and
His Playmate" may be had in a
stamped envelope.)
Yet many parents of the very
timid tot incline to think first of
solo dancing lessons for him, the
very thing which may render him
more timid among his fellows.
Of course, some tots who are
physically very awkward may profit
some from the proper kind of dane
ing lessons. Moreover, the child may
need special guidance of the ply
sician.
Most mothers could afford to have
chief concern about grace in the
young child in terms of his learning
to be considerate of the rights of
others, good manners, proper inhibi-
tions, and skill at being good play
mate. Anyway, what will it profit a
child to have very graceful body
and be prig or brat?

Food for Thought

An attractive addition to salad
plate is a beet cup. To prepare it,
cut slice from the bottom of a
cooked beet so that it will stand
straight, then scoop out center from
the top to make a hollow, and fill the
hollow with finely diced celery
mixed with green peas, salad dress
ing and seasonings. Other combina-
tons of vegetables may be used of
course, according to your taste or
the vegetables you have on hand.
Steaks for broiling outdoors
should be three -fourths inch thick
or more to be juicy and tlavorful.
Thin steaks have too much outside
surface exposed and become too dry.
When making a custard PIE e.
after it's baked and cool--spread
whipped jelly over the top. Then
add meringue and brown lightly
in the oven.
Celery stalks stuffed with blue
cheese blended with condensed to-
mato soup are tasty to serve with
