' while I havo had to rive up steaks,
'tt'-wehopa and roasts, I am able to rc
Kyi c9 y,em wJth g Reaper cuts of
Meat, and frequently use other foods
that will supply the required protein
content.
This requires careful thought and
sons preparation, but I also have
found that in doing this I am able
to obtain more nutritious foods for
the money than if it were expended
in expensive cuts.
Creole Beef
Have the butcher cut two pounds
of shin beef, leaving the bone in.
Wipe it with a damp cloth and then
pat into the meat one-half cupful of
flour. Melt five tablespoonfuls of
shortening in a deep saucepan, and
when hot put in the meat. Brown
quickly and then turn on the other
side. When both sides are browned
add
Two cupfuls of boiling water,
One cupful of chopped onions,
Two carrots cut in dice,
One cupful of canned tomatoes.
Bring quickly to a boil and cover
closely and cook very slowly until
tender, usually about two hours.
Season and then it is ready to serve;
or the pot may be placed in a slow
oven for three hours.
Lamb Haricot
Soak one pint of lima beans over
night and then look over carefully
In the morning. Parboil and then
place in a baking dish with
One-half cupful of diced onions,
' One pound of neck of mutton cut
into cutlet;
One cupful of canned tomatoes,
Seasoning with salt and pepper and
. add sufficient boiling water to cover

tSrJi My dear Mrs. Wilson I had
f'iome difficulty the other evening
f, with French fried potatoes. I cut
up the raw white potatoes into
cubes and dipped them in a deep
pan of hot lard in a wire basket.
I had trouble in browning them.
Should they have been boiled first
or should they have been well
dried T Kindly suggest the proper
way. Mrs. C.
Mrs. C. To cook French fried
,yetatoes, boil the potatoes in their
Jackets and then peal and cut and
fry. If using raw potatoes, pare
vand cut and wash, then dry and let
11a fa a warm room to dry off, then
;fry. You will have better success
using a vegetable oil in place of
:the lard. Lard cannot be heated
to a, mgft temperature witnoui Durn -
fiuj. French fried potatoes require
m temperature of 360 degrees Fah
'renheSt, which temperature is much
too hot for lard.

Potassium permnngnnate, which comes in crystals, has been used successfully to remove dye and running color,

Oxalic arid removes ink urn! other similar stains. It must be used according to directions. The uso of the

In the manufacture of georgette both
the warp and the filling aro twisted and
the weaving Is done on a box loom.
Chiffon Is made with a plain weave. The
crinkly effect ln georgette Is obtained by
a shrinking process to which plain chif

georgette might be forty-five inches
when woven, then It might be shrunk
down to thirty-eight Inches. The amount
of shrinking done depends on the heavi

asking him.

HOW grand and glorious it Is to
hear some one tell the truth on
occasions like thlat Captain Moriarity
had a singing voice that would en
trance tho heart of you, but he had
never heard of QaM-Curcl and he
was there to say so. And every on
at the table giked him the better be
cause he did say so.
Oh, the bluffs we make about tha
books we have never read,, the plays
we have never seen and the persons,
we have and the persons we have not
heard oft Borne of us get over It
but others of us never do. I have
heard perfectly sensible-looking men
on trains arguing about war terms
which, for all they seemed to know
about them, might have been men,
mountains or machine guns.
"When we speak of fallings we al
ways mako concessions for youth.
Youth Is that glorious period when
we have the right to be as solemnly
wise as we please and when we are
not supposed to have the slightest
Idea that Ignorance Is the beginning of
real knowledge. But thero comes the
danger mark. If Experience could
speak she might say: "Come, come,
you havo spent enough time knowing.
It is time for you to learnt"
It Is interesting to note a learned
man's tactics -with the rest of the
world. He Is never ashamed to own
up to what he does not know. In fact,
beforo the conversation has died flown
you will invariably find the learned
man venturing a very direct question
to securo an answer, that will forever
