FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

How can I lower the cost of the

family food supply?

This is a question which many

carefuul housekeepers are trying hard to answer. And as the meat bill is usually one of the largest, our at- tentions are. very naturally, first giv- en to it. '

ln her desire to find a remedy the

housewife may--decide to try the cuts of meats which retail at low prices. Falling to produces palatable dish she goes back, discouraged, to the well known and easily prepared ten- der steaks. chops and roasts.

Although highly nutritious, the

cheaper cuts, unless properly han- dled, are generally lacking in flavor, possess long and coari"p fibres, and a large amount of connective tissue which the small boy calls “gristle."

To give them the desired flavor

these cuts may be cooked with vegetables and carefully seasoned.

From such cuts as the lower round,

the tail pieces of the porterhouse steaks. and even plate meat we can fashion delicious combination, as Salisbury steak, mock duck with dressing and garnish of vegetables, cannelon of beef, or beef_ loaf with tomato sauce.

The fibres of some of the cuts

which we do not care to grind, can he broken by pounding with the edge of a ueavy sauce or a specially devised hammer. This allows a large amount of iuices to escape, and_ lose flavor unless we take the precaution 10 hound flour into the meat to nh- sorb these Juices. Upon browning, the flour gives an added flavor.

Meat treated in this way is called

"Swiss steak." This needs. at first a

hish temperature and very careful cooking a a low temperature after- wards. Another variation may be made by using round, chunk. dank or skirt steaks with vegetables, finishing

The meat is best:if first seared to

L_ IDEAL CRUEL.

To make gruel successfully, great

care must be exercised. To make pae- Bllt Sroats gruel. the required quantity should be mixed very smoothly and carefully with cold water; milk is apt i0 lm-ke if IUIIIDY. says the Washing- ton Herald. When mixed. is should be added to equal quantities of boiling milk and water;boil all gently for 15or 20 minutes. When done, three parts illl a cup and serve with cold milk or cream and castor sugar.

*__*

TEA ROLLS. b

Two tablespoons of butter, one tea-

spoon of salt, one yeast cake dissolv- ed in quarter cup of luke warm water, lentirq wheat flour. two tablespoons of sugar, two cups of milk scalded.

Put the butter, sugar and salt into

the bread pan; add the hot milk and when lukewarm add the yeast and three cups of the flour. Beat thoro- ughly and let rise again. Turn on to a floured board, knead thoroughly and roll with one third inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter make a deep crease through the centre of each with a knife handle, brush one half with melted butter, fold the other half over on the buttered half and press the edges together. Place' in a buttered pan one inch apart, let rise until light and well puffed and bake in a moderate oven 20 minutes.

LEMON PIE.

In making a lemon pie the shell

should always be baked first in order that it may not soak up the juice. The filling is made in this way: Stir into a cupful of boiling water one table! spoonful corn starch disslove in cold water. Cook until clear. Add one cup- ful of sugar, one tablespoonful butter the yolks of two eggs well beaten and the grated rind and juice of one large lemon. Cook two minutes longer, and pour into the shell. Beat the whites of two eggs stifhusingawire whip to entangle as much' air as possible, add two tablespoonfuls powdered sugar and spreid lightly over the ple. The next step is where so many otherwise succeeiiful cooks fail. Instead of the meringue .proving to be of delicate, foam-like consistency, a tough, leath- ery compound is the result. The trou- ble is in the heat of the oven. The albumen of the egg requires slow cooking, so slow as to resemble a drying rather than a baking. Twenty minutes in an oven with the heat

turned off is the usual time. Allow the ailing of the pie _to coo a little he- fore spreading the weriugue. Under these favoring conditions the result

will be a tender dotifcate merlngue that will retetn it's e ginui thickness. -'l'odsy's.Mssuine. -

I am not going to agree with Prof. uisenberry, for to do so would con- ict me of being lacking in ordinary intelligence.

Why it was necessary to assert that

This letter concerns a certain White Plymouth Rock pullet with which I amintimately acquainted This pullet was hatched June 2. 1913, and laid her first egg on January 1, 1914. On Aug- ust' 1 she had to her credit 156 eggs and from that time until the letter was written she had laid 18 more
