WORE ABOUT BUYING CUTS OFBEEF
IS EXPLAINED BY MRS. M.A.WILSON
The Flank or Top of the Sirloin and What It Contains The Round and What to Do
With It Different Methods Used in Preparing Tender Cuts and
Those of the Forequartcr
By MRS. M. A. WILSON

fpHE hind quarters of beef contains
,J- the sirloin, tho rump, the found
and tho shin. Laying against the
Bide of tho sirloin, imbedded in a
casing; of fat, arc the kidneys.
The flank or top of the sirloin is
used for pot roasting, braising, ham
burg steaks, goulashes and comtng.
The sirloin contains the loin and
. the fllet or the tenderloin, which is
frequently removed and sold sepa
rately as a fllet of beef. The loin is
then cut into back or dclmonico
steaks.
The fnce cut of the rump is called
the pin bone, which usually weighs
from GV& to 11 pounds, depending
upon the size and grade of the cat
tle. Rump is used for steaks; back
or short rump for ronsts and corn
ing. The round is the thigh or upper
part of tho leg and takes its name
from the manner in which it is
placed upon tho block. The top of
the round is the tender inside part
of the thigh, while the lower or bot--tom
round is the tough outside por
tion. From tho round, as it faces you
on the butcher's block, the butcher
cuts from the left-hand side a three
cornered piece of meat called the
"vlny piece. This piece of meat is
entirely lean, and if a pprtion of fat
is added to it, it makes a deliciously
tender roast, pot roast, braise or
beef a la mode. It is without one
particle of waste.
The heel or back end of the round
is used for stews, pot roasts and
corning. The uses for the shin are
similar to those used in the fore
quarter of the beef.
To secure the best results when
cooking meats, it is necessary for
the housewife to know that the'
tender cuts of meat require en
tirely different methods of treat
Tnent from that used for preparing
the forequartcr cuts.
' Frying makes this meat tough and I
indigestible. It should be broiled i
over u. clear fire or in the gas
broiler. ,
To prepare: Have the meat cut i
at least one inch thick; thin meat !

face. Remove the excess fat and
then rub the surface of the meat
with the juice of n lemon and a
good cooking oil. If you are using
the gas broiler, place one quart of
warm water and one tenspoonful of
salt in the bottom of the broiler to
prevent the fat from catching fire.
Place the meat in the broiler and
cook for four minutes, then turn
and repeat tho cooking until the
ment is done, allowing eight min
utes to the pound for the very rare,
ten minutes to tho pound for tho
medium, thirteen minutes to the
pound for the well done.
Test the meat by pressing with a
fork; if it is very soft and spongy,
it is rare. Just as soon as it be
comes firm, it is medium, and then
allow three minutes more and then
it is well done. Lift to a warm
platter and spread with a prepared
butter.

Pieces of left-over or broken but

One tablespoonful of lemon uice,
One tablespoonful of grated onion,
Two tablespoonfids of finely
chopped parsley,
One teaspoonful of salt,
One teaspoonful of paprika,
One-half teaspoonful of mustard.
Blend until smooth and creamy
and then spread on the meat and
serve. A good salad oil may be
used in place of the butter.
Sirloin Roast
Frequently I have inquiries like
this: "What is a sirloin roast?"
A sirloin roast is a cut from the
buck of the sirloin; usually it weighs
from 6 k to 7 pounds. Have the
butcher remove the chine bone and
the flank ends. Pat lightly with
Chop the giblets fine nnd. then add
the meat picked from the back car
cass and neck; it is now ready to
season. Add the noodles and cook
for fifteen minutes. In answer to
your last question in most cases,
yes.
My dear Mrs, Wilson I have
been reading your column often
and found some good recipes. Will
you kindly let me have a recipe
when you can in the paper as to
how to make a beef or pork loaf?
I am anxious to know. Will
thank you very much if you will
publish it. MRS. W.
Mrs. W.
Beef or Pork Loaf

through the food chopper, adding
Two onions,
One green pepper,
One level teaspoonful of thyme,
Two level teaspoonfuls 'of salt.
One level teaspoonful vf paprika,
Three eupfuls of cold cooked oat
meal, One-half cupful of vegetable
shortening.
Blend well together and then
form into a loaf. Place in a loaf
shaped pan and then set this pan
in a large one containing hot water.
Bake in a moderate oven for one
hour. Cold cooked meat may be
used in place of raw meat.
My dear Mrs. Wilson I .thank
you very much for publishing in
the Thursday Evening Public
Ledger the recipe for cream cab
bage without oil, but this is what
I do not know, if I should scald
the cabbage or not, but I do like
the dressing for it. Thank you
very much for the recipe, and I
will thank you in advance for the
published information about, the
cabbage, if I should scald it or
not, and oblige. MRS. C. S.
Mrs. C. S.
Chop the cabbage fine and then
wash well in cold salted water. Drain
well, then place in a bowl and pour
over it the dressing. No cooking of
the cabbage is required.
My dear Mrs. Wilson What is
the best kind of roast pan to use
the covered, self-basting or the
uncovered? Also would you please
explain how to make chicken noo
dle soup? I know how to make
the noodles. When a recipe calls
for sirup can molasses be substi
tuted. I certainly do appreciate
your kindness in answering these
questions. I get so much good
out of your column. L. T.
L. T.
Either roast pan may be used;
it is entirely a matter pf choice.
The covered or self-basting re
quires no attention; the open pan
will require baiting-.
flour and then roast like the fancy
nnd prime ribs. The first threo
steaks from the rump arc equally as
good as the sirloin.
Filet of Beef
Have the butcher trim the filet
into shape nnd then lard it with salt
pork. Dust lightly with flour and
then place on a rack in the roasting
pan and place in n hot oven, basting
every ten minutes. Cook, allowing
the meat one-half hour to become
thoroughly heated nnd to start
cooking; then allow twelve minutes
for every pound. This cut is the
choicest of the entire cattle and is
without n single ounce of waste. It
is delicious cither hot or cold.
The beef cattle are divided into
three classes:
First, Fancy prime steers.
Second. Cows.
Third. Bulls.
Fancy prime steers have meat
which is n bright red color and is
well marbled with fat The cow's
meat may be determined by the
small bones and the flap of tissue
pinned over the hind quarter carcass,
where the milk sack has been re
moved. The bull meat is heavy
bones, coarse and dark red; it it
usually very fleshy.

He Deceived Her
Dear Cynthia I.Ike other oung per
sons, 1 come to ou for ndxlce, I am n
girl of past nineteen and have been
keeping cempany with a young man a
few years my senior, for months. When
we first met he right off the reel
showed and told me he loved me, I
suppose he had a heart like a Jelly
fish and his mind must hae been aw
fully flabby if he could say he could
lore a girl at first sight, when he knows
nothing of her. I am speaking of this
friend of mine. We went out only
once together after we first met and
for over a whole jear I heard nothing
of him. I forgot there ever was such
a person and was very glad to be able
to forget about him. As I say a year,
and months passed, when all of a sud
den he called on me, I being out seeing
one of the shows In town, and left a
little note for me with my mother.
Kier since then I have been receiving
his attention once a week, also corre
rpondlng in the meantime. Cynthia, If
I must admit It myself, nil the while
we two went together there could not
have been found anywhere a more
happy couple. When he would make
love to me tn the strongest way pos
sible, I did really and truly grow to
return the love he wanted. Now It
happened the last time I wan with him!
on returning home we started a con
ersatlon and before I knew what he
was trying to make me understand;
the word engaged came from his lips,
but I illrt not hear him the first time,
so asked him to please repeat. "Do
you know that I am engaged to the
girl whose letter I let you read last
weekt" Those were the words he spoke
and then was when I got a shock like
from a gun that would tear up a whole
town. Dear Cjnthla, I know you can
well picture me then and how I felt,
to think I, only a little Innocent girl,
was getting love and also giving It to
an engaged man. I asked no ques
tions, for the simple reason that I
couldn't open my mouth to speak. I
asked him to go and wished him the
The Hobble Skirt Petticoat
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

fashion
SOME years ago, when tho narrow and
hobble skirts were In fashion, It was
considered quite correct to eliminate
the' petticoat and the knee-length or
longer bloomer, gained In popularity as
a substitute for the ptttleoat. This sea
son, however, even though the skirts are
extremely narrow and getting narrower,
there teem to be no desire to ceaie
wearing the petticoat It la rather
strange, too, when one thlnka of the
effort made by most women to achieve
the slenderest silhouette possible and
It would be only natural to assume that
the petticoat would' hinder In this direc
tion. But the petticoat of several ysars
ago Is not even related to the scientific
one g(ven to the women of today.
Not only have the makera of petti
coata learned tha knack of making pet
tlcoata with wonderful fitting waist
band with flat faatenlngs, which w
have all grown to know n well, that
we sort of take them for granted, but
the reat of the petticoat haa been sub
jected to an overhauling and the prod-
best of luck In the world. All he could
do waa ask forgiveness. I can't forget
him. nnd how miserable he made me :
yet, Cynthia, I want to try to forget
all the past, for it win ao me no gooa
to worry myself sick for the want of a
lost love.
Cynthia, can't you aQggegt some
thing for one to do to hs'.p me forget,
for I muBt forget, as If I don't I sup
pose It will drive me Insane. I would
like to take up something where my
mind will be occupied All the time. I
waa thinking of learning dressmaking,
for I like pretty clothes and that Would
help me to get more than I can afford,
by making them myself. Do you think
that course would be all right? Or
perhaps you wculd suggest a better
one. I stay home during the day, al
though I could go to work, as I gradu
ated in the bookkeeping course. I am
so upset I can't think straight. .If I
ever tell my parents I suppose I will
be forbidden to go with another man
unlets he Is willing to marry me right
from the start, so you see In what a
position I am.
Dear Cynthia. I have heard of sev
eral cases similar to mine and could
you tell ms, are all men In the habit of
playing with the girls? Do you not
think that when a man is engaged he
should leave others alone? Now his
sweetheart Is away, what would he
think If some one should be making
love to her! Can't those who have
sweethearta In other cities be satisfied
with on and only one. Instead of find
ing another In her home town, only play
ing the part of cUeelt? No one could
have been more sincere tnan this man
seemed to me. for I knew I was the
only girl he gave his nttontlon to. Are
all men that weak? Kvery, other night
I studied, but the one night He came to
my home. I think It's about time the
art of heartbreaking should come to a
close. If the engaged man cannot
have his sweetheart with him alt the
time, he can and mav seek friends, yea,
ladles, but not make love to them.
AM I can say Is that the men are the
most selfish beings. If a man Is flat
tering and Jollying the girl, that's dif
ferent, but true love Is when marriage
Is s'poken of.
When will men learn to ute their
brains and have a heart? What do you
say about this, Cynthia? And won't

, Marriage of Cousins
Dear Cj-nthla I have come to j-ou
to do ine a favor. My cousin, who
lives some 300 miles away from here,
came on to visit about three years
ago and vve commenced a cousinly cor
respondence, which later became a love
affair. In our letters we made It un
understood thing that we would marrj'
some daj-, nnd I promised her heartily
that though she was my first cousin.
I would not let the matter Interfere
with our plans. Ono j-car later, with
the consent of my parents, I went out
to visit her homo. I enjoj'ed myself
there Immenselj and her people were
very kind to me. When I came home
tne correspondence was resumed, but ns
time vient by n funny feeling crept
Into my heart and In the third year of
our corresponding this feeling was great.
I Just felt that I couldn't marry one
of my own blood. I nm nineteen j-enrs
old now, and In view of tho fact that
today 1 have a better knowledge of
the matter than I did three j-ears ago,
I was forced to write a letter In which"
I confessed the truth and' asked for
glveness. But this letter was mailed
some time ago and I have not received
word from her. I have done this with
out consulting my parents. Now I
find myself worried mid at n loss as
to whether or not I havo done the
right thing. So may I ask you to
kindly answer my doubts, as you will
remoe a great burden from my buck?
ONE IN DOUBT,
Ycu would do well to consult your
parents on the matter. The marriage
of first cousins Is never to be encour-'
aged. Very often feeble-minded chil
dren are the offspring of such unions,
or there Is npt to be unusual- dellcate
ness In the children nnd It Is only fair to
look ahead nnd confront these eventu
alities, as they extend through gener
ations sometimes. Of course If the
gift holds j'ou to your promise It Is
another matter, but If jou are only
nineteen now, j-cu were not responsi
ble when the promlso was made. Con

THE MAJOR AND CAPTAIN
IN THE PEANfJT GALLERY
Wcro Not Afraid Their Friends Would Sec Them Trudging Vp lj
Worn Stairs A Real Bit of Life Recently Staged Vp
Where tha Tickets Are Fifty-five Cents
rpilE peanut gallery shows many
- queer things, Irish lace and seal
skin coats, for Instance, when you
least expect to find them. But this
particular night showed tho loveliest
surprise of nil a. major and' a captain
sitting exactly in the middle of the
front row "up In heayen." And to ,tMe
right of tho major a private In Uncle
Sam's army and to the left of the
captain a Jack tar. The four sitting
right together!
Tho major had his coat hanging
over tho railing, thus running the risk
of 'being told to take It off by tne
third-floor usher. Otherwise every
thing was done with military preci
sion. The "Star Spangled Banner" was
played and the four stood as closely
and ns magnificently at attention as
If they had been In a ground floor
stage box.
ONE frequently hears that little
things will never count again with
the men who went to war only the
biff Issues of llfo will loom as-important
nnd worth worrying about to
them, It seems to me the major and
tho captain sitting up top In a large
theatro when any of their friends
might have seen them going up or
coming down the shabby stairs was a
fine example of letting only the big
things count. In n. word you might
say, In helping to make the world safe
for democracy these men had made
democracy safe for themselves.
Most of tho worrying over tho little
and unimportant issues of life comes
from false pride. Now let's be frank.
How many of us are willing to go to
a largo and fashionable theatre, pass
by tho big lobby alive with lights nnd
well-dressed people and go around to
tho Bhabby little entrance where one
may buy tickets for flfty-flvo cents
nnd proceed upward? There are minor
objections, of course, such as not
wanting to walk up the stairs, etc.,

but, on the whole, these pale into In
significance compared to the risk. A
fearful risk! One's friends are always
going to the theatre and any of them
aro apt to witness the shameful pro
ceedlng,
SILLY mortals we are I Just as if;
those worn stebs have not been
mellowed with the trudge of those
who command finances and nations.
Those who became great because there
was in them nono of .that petty self
pride that keeps a man ao busy satis
fying it he has no time for the vital
things of life that really should give
him concern.
Oood for the captain and better fop
the major and cheers for all the men
who are coming back to us, having,
seen life stripped of all Its littleness
and ready to put into practice the les
son they have learned!
