ltfETSS POINTS OUT WAY
i OF BEATING BEEP BARONS
pareful Study of Various GUts, Their Prices and
Nutriment, Plus Avoidance of Waste,
Will Solve Problem
Iteii diddle dtddle,
The cat and the ffldle,
The cotfl jumped over the moon:
The Utile don laughed
To see the port
The dUh ran aicav n?lth the spoom
rpiil'8 was !n the day of the nursery
to It, lean and anemic vegetarians to tho
contrary notwithstanding.
Tho whole question, tljeh, resolves Itself
Jnto tho problem of how to faco tho meat
situation without actually giving up flesh
food.
This, according to an expert who has
mmlo a study of the economical uso of
jinnies, ai uio present umo miio uobb, meat ror a long penou or years, is uono in
and likewise men and women, who have two ways: First, by a careful study of
SEEN IN THE SHOPS
nny feeling concerning their future suste
nance regard tho attltudlnous cavorting of
tho cow, typified by the rise In the price
of beef, with lugubrious sentiments, not
Unmixed with awo.
The cow seemingly has gone iky-hlgh
to stay. Likewise tho lamb and the pig.
Housewives murmur vaguely, "Something
Will have to be done about' It," knowing
Well that short of a positive boycott noth
ing can be done about It, and go out and
pay 38 and 40 cents a pound for meat
which In tho halcyon days was bought for
12 and 16.
Butchers smite tolerantly at tho sugges
tion of a boycott. They know that so
long as money Is "free and easy," as It
has been recently, tho American nation
x Is as likely to become vegetarian as It Is
to become Mormon or cannibalistic So
long wi thero Is meat to bo bought and
money to buy It with wo will contlnuo
having It on our bills of faro.
But many women whoso housekeeping
allowance has not been Increased, dcsplto
tho rise In tho prices of virtually all food
stuffs, find themselves In tho position of
having to supply tho same amount of meat
to their families this year as they did five
or ten years ago. And If you can't got
blood out of a stone, neither can you got
lx or seven tounds of meat out of a
dollar, as -formerly was tho case.
It's all very well to talk about "cut
ting .out meat," but from tho very begin
ning of tlmo man has used animal food
md his wholo body .structure Is adapted
tho various cuts, their prices and the
relative quantity of nutriment contained
in them; and, secondly, by a meticulous
avoidance of waste.
Many women who soriously regard
themselves as efficient housekeepers and
consorvers of tho family lncomo are
totally Ignorant of tho difference In tho
cuts and 'the fuel valuo contained In them.
They believe that a porterhouse steak at
32 or 35 cents a pound must of necessity
bo tho choicest part of tho beef becauso
of Its attltudlnous price nnd established
reputation for tenderness. Thoy feel that
they cannot uso th6 cheaper cuts because
their families will bo not so well nour
ished as If thoy had bought tho moro ex
pensive. Thoy believe that Just becauso
tho prlco of chuck ribs, for Instance, Is
apparently about tho lowest of all beef
products It Is tho most economical to buy,
whereas a woman who has really gone
Into tho matter thoroughly knows that
that part of tho nnlm.il actually costs her
almost twlco ns much as she pays for It
bocause virtually half of It Is waste.
To thoso of my readers who aro Inter
ested In tho subject not only of reducing
flio slzo of their meat bills, but nlso In tho
preparation of tho cheaper cuts so as
to Imbue them wltha flavor and tender
ness which they believe only possible with
tho moro expensive parts, I will, upon
receipt of a stamped, self-addressed en
velope, tell them where a pamphlet, pre
pared by experts, may bo obtained frco

Juniors whose fathers are still alive upon
the earth are abjured to lend a sympathetic
ear to the tale of this boy's longing. The
fellow who takes lively Interest In fitting up
his "den" at home is less likely to seek
diversion and excitement abroad than he to
whom his parents' residence Is only a place
to eat and Bleep In. If another boy can con
tribute a picture or a pennant but you
fellows know better than I what the 14-year-old
.would like to have to make cozy

study and read and live when he Is Indoors.

Gastronomic Delicacies
Fresh peas are. as much a gastronomic
delicacy nowadays as they were In the
time of Queen Elizabeth, when they came all
the way from Holland to delight the fickle
lady's palate. Tho garden pea Is the one
that is used. most, although the experienced
cultivator of peas knows that there nre
many varieties besides this one. However,
the ordinary sugar pea Is the one that con
cerns us most.
The edible podded pea is well known to
curopean marltets, hut la not found In
this country. It la a soft young pea with
half-formed balls inside and with a pod
jso tender that it may be eaten like we eat
string beans. The field pea, on the other
hand, la used, as a rule, for animal fodder.
The dried seed Is used In tha manufacture
of split peas. The lentil also belongs to
this family, and the various nutritious
dishes that may be made from the
homely lentil nre gradually Increasing In
the culinary , vocabulary of the American
cook.
The nutritive value of sugar peas is
equal to that of the potato, although al
most every one Is accustomed to think the
potato one of the most nourishing vege
tables that Is eaten. Peas are usually
considered a dainty, refreshing, but not
necessarily nourishing. In reality, peas and
beans contain an enormous amount of pro
tein the great tlssue-bulldlng element of the
body. A little fat and a considerable
amount of carbohydrates are also part of
the pea and bean composition, both of which
glva energy to the body.
Dried peas and beans are highly nu
tritious, for they are In themselves the
most delectable part of the Vegetable, dried
out by a process that takes away all waste
products and representing a pound or more
of palatable solids. The canned peas, on
tho contrary, are largely composed of
liquids, which detract somewhat from the
value of the peas as nourishment. In short,
the dried peas and beans are one of the
most health-giving and nourishing foods
that the housekeeper can get; the canned
and fresh variety are, too, but not so much
so as the former process.
Wicker Novelties
Wicker vases aro pretty and novel. They
may be as large or as small as one wishes.
The shape is, the regular long vase shape,
with a glass receptacle Inside, to hold the
water. The colored glass showing through
the wide-woven wicker is very attractive.
They come small enough to accommodate
a single blossom or to hold a. bouquet
Magailnq stands of wicker for the summer
porch are bandy, for they, have a, huge
handle on them, so they can be carried from'
one part of the bouse to another.

Tho careful' hostess Is a Joy forever, and
thoso of us who have been visitors nt the
homo of. one know how great is the guest's
pleasure when every convenience is found
close at hand.
Among the llttlo comforts which tho
careful hostess will seo aro arranged for
her guests nro the box of matches, even
when the house has electricity, ns matches
are sometimes needed, nnd It Is nlways well
to have a night lamp and matches on a
small tablo by the bed, unless tho electric
switch Is well within reach ; needles, thread,
scissors, pins nnd such things should bo
placed In a drcsslng-tablo drawer and a
scrap basket should nlways bo provided.
Of course soap and fresh towels nnd wash
cloths are above all things necessary, and
when tho guo3t Is a man it Is well to pro
vide him with shaving soap. Manicuring
articles should bo provided also.
High' Hat for Business
Dear Deborah Rush Is It pood form for n
young business man to wear a high hat to his
onlce? What do you think of girls weorlne
Jewelry to work? C1KNK.
No, It would bo In very execrablo taste.
A high hat should only bo worn with dress
clothes.
It Is not good form for a girl to wear
Jewelry to her ollice. Of courso n watch Is
allowable and one or two slmplo rings,
but bracelets, chains and many rings are
In exceedingly bad taste.
Fiance and Fiancee
Jror Deborah lush When a young girl nnd
man nre engaged to be married Is he expected to
call nn her every evening? On which nnger
shrtild tho engagement ring be worn?
OKOnOB.
It Is tisunl for a man to call on his
f.ancce evory evening, but If the engage
ment Is to be n long one sometimes it la
considered advisable by those concerned
to devoto ono or two evenings to their re
spective families. It Is not tho proper
thing, however, for tho man to call on
other girls on these evenings.
tiio engagement ring Is worn on the
third finger of tho left hand.
A Question of Introduction
Dear Deborah Wusi When a young man Is
presented to a young lady, should ho shake her

Oriental Salad
A delicious and different salad Is made
from an old Oriental rcolpe. It Is a delight
ful change fr6m tho ordinary salads, and
the hostess who serves It can rest assured
that she won't serve something common
place. Thin pieces of sweet apple should
be placed over sections of oranges. Have
a cucumber sliced neatly, using very young
cucumbers, so that they are quite tender.
Soak a handful of raisins In lemon Julco.
rile all this together In a bowl, pour over
It a tablespoonful of the Juice from a can
of preserved ginger, and put on tho Ice
until It Is thoroughly chilled, Serve on
nasturtium leaves, with cream dressing.
Jellied Soup
Iced bouillon Is mighty refreshing on a
hot day and there are plenty if hot days
coming. To a quart of tho beef bouillon
nud a level tablespoonful of white gelatine,
dissolved in a small quantity of tho cold
broth. Season to taste, using salt, pepper,
paprika, a bit of celery salt and onion.
Heat over a slow fire, but do not boll.
Strain. Cover apd leave standlny by the
Ice for five or six hours. It may be served
In small bowls with a slice of lemon on the
top. Or parsley may be used. It l.i not
necessary to have tho soup like Jelly, it
should be Just slightly "jellied." Half
trained tomato Julco and halt bouillon may
also be used with very good results.
For the Lunch Basket
Did you ever hear of a baked bean sand
wich? It's a good way to use up tho last
of the bean pot's contents, especially If
there Is somo ono In the fnrnlly who car
ries a lunch basket To the cooked beans
ndd bacon' drippings, salt, black pepper,
pnprlka "and sugar to taste. Heat the mix
ture nnd rub to a paste Spread on Boston
brown bread and cover with chill sauce.
Paper Doilies
Laco paper dollies are effectlvo for tho
summer tablo they save washing nnd are
easily arranged. The home should be a
placo of relaxation In summer, and the
housekeeper who can use these dainty
dollies will appreciate tho fact that they
eliminate laundry.
THE American people use more drugs
per capita than any other people on
the globe. If the doctor docs not prescribe
a few bottles of medicine they fire him
nnd got ono who will. The thought that
a doctor must give medicine Is deeply
grounded In tho collective and In tho In
dividual mind. A nntural outgrowth Is
the purchase of medicine nt tho drug Btore.
Somo persons go so fnr ns to eat tho sam
ples left nt the door or sent on request.
In the list of symptoms found on tho
circular a drug-hungry man can always
nnu one, nntl sometimes a bunch, mat lie
has or ought to have, because It runs In
the fnmlly, or some ho Is liable to havo.
Many persons have gotten nwny from
tho habit of taking medicine for consump
tion. But there arc still many who drink
medicine from the beginning to tho end
ot the disease. Let no enthusiast fool him
self, Thero nro still thousands who burn
up the little money they have, money which
should go for rest, food, nni open nlr, on
so-called consumption cures.
In Dr. Hawcs' vnlunblo little book on
"Consumption What to Do About It,"
there Is n short chapter on drugs nnd
cures for consumnllon. As to cures for
consumption he says: "All such may be
condemned nt once. Leave them nlono,
no matter how glowing may bo the re
ports you benr concerning them."
Hut oven tho pcoplo who have learned
to disbelieve the wild statements mado on
the circulars of cures nre disposed to nib
hi nt medlcInpH of a milder Bort
As to alcoholic drinks, Hnwes snys that
In roro cases he nllows or oven ndvlses
pntlents to titlto n little beer at mcnls. This
is much the exception, however. Tho rule
Is thnt all alcoholic drinks should be left
nione. Tney arc not strengthening not
oven port wine has the strengthening qual
ities In which so many have faith. Espe
cially does- ho condemn eggnog.
Creofeoto nnd all other nauseating drugs
do no good. On the other hand, as they
disturb digestion nnd appetite, they may
do much harm. Ho lino llttlo faith In
cod liver oil and emulsions. H6 says:
"It should bo borne In mind that such
preparations nro merely forms ot fnt, nnd
ifs such have somo value. Tho taste Is
usually dlsagrecnble. Children often relish
it. If they aro underweight extra fat Is a
good thing.
"There aro no special curative properties
In oils and emulsions. Personally I have
never prescribed cod liver oil or an emul
sion. If my patients need Increased fnt in
their diet, I prefer to give It In cream, but
ter, salads and in other fatty foods."
He docs not think the Indiscrlmlnntn nan
of tonics and hypophotphltos Is advisable.
Serums nnd vaccines, of course, should bo
given only by physicians experienced In
treating consumption. Inhalants often help
Irritated thronts nnd annoying coughs. "As
a general rule, the fewer drugs or artificial
foods or preparations of nny kind that aro
taken tho better for tho patient," ho says.
sanatorium patients rarely cough. They
rarely tako medicines to control coughs.
If such persons can keep from coughing
without taking opiates and other medi
cines, why should you nnd I tako them?

Making a Rose Jar
June Is roso time, nnd the Hot of wonder
ful roses around In gardens and florists',
shops reminds ono to Indulge In that most
delightful pastime, making potpourri Jars.
The rose Jnr used to bo seen on every one's
library table; tho homo wnsn't considered
complete without ono nt least of these odor
ous conceits, Now one seldom sees them,
because peoplo aro too busy to make them
-or, more likely, becauso thoy don't know
how.
Tho old-fnshloned, sentimental ones of us
who nre really Interested In making ono of
theso Jars will npprcclato tho following di
rections, culled from nn old, old book on
tho subject, anther up all tho rose petals
you can get. Get them from the florist, If
he will let you have them, and get them
from tho gurden. A few roses sacrificed
beforo they fall will Improve tho quality
of the odor. Pinch, twist or cut them from
the stalk, keeping them wholo If this Is
possible.
Have a dry, shady room, and put your
rose petals tn It, Spread n few thicknesses
of white paper over the tablo and placo the
rosos out on this, nllowlng plenty of nlr to
penetrate 'between tho petals. Add another
layer each morning, making ns many roses
as you possibly can. Now salt them gen
orously. Don't bother If they wnlt for sev
eral weeks beforo using; nil tho sweeter will
be the odor. When you nro qulto sure that
the old petals are thoroughly' dried out,
plnce them In a covered Jar or dish, and
sprlnklo them generously with salt. Toss
them about In the jar every day for sev
eral more weeks.

Have You Seen Them?
Thero are so many kinds of napery now
adays. Tha simple dinner napkin used to
be considered enough. Now there aro fancy
Madeira ones for every occasion. Tiny
ones with scalloped edges are used for the
tea and luncheon table. Tinier ones still
have a dainty cock In 'one corner or some
emblem of the kind they are designed to
serve with summer drinks. And last but
not least, there are Infinitesimal near,
handkerchiefs of very thin linen that are
set on the side of the Ice cream plate.

The Dust-Proof Polish
THERE is nothing that so quickly, easily, and
thoroughly polishes and removes finger-marks
and "cloudiness" from furniture and wood
work as Johnson's Prepared Wax. The polished
effect is lasting, because it gives a hard smooth surface
that does not hold the dust. Use it on your
