Smith, who is one of tht officers of the Western Driving Club, is a genial gentleman. When the Mon itor approached him about an ad for next week’s races, he said pleasantly: “Certainly. The races are patron ized by your people and you are en titled to an ad with the rest of the publications." SOUTHERN ENLISTMENTS To the Editor of The Sun: Sir: Your editorial article “Young Oregon, Old Maine," is the kind of stuff (and English) I am proud to find in an I American newspaper, and, by the way, ; your editorial pages are usually of that kind; but why should you intro | duce a mean little slap at the South ern States in comparing their volun i tary enlistment in the service of the 1 United States with some other States : of the Union? The face of the returns warrants your gentle stricture, but please re member that the large proportion of ! Negroes in our population of military | age have not been encouraged to vol ! unteer, and in fact, are scarcely rep j resented in that class, whereas all of them are registered along with the whites. In the State of South Carolina, for instance, considerably more thun half of its people are Colored, and so it would seem that, comparing only the white population, this State should be placed well up to the front of the list in volunteers with a percentage of at least 70. There is no doubt that our Colored people are perfectly willing to serve the Government, and I hope they may be used in some suitable service that will give full play to their loyalty and devotion, but the fact re mains that they have not yet been en couraged to join the service from our state. JOHN L. COKER, JR. Hartsville, S. C., July 26. Our Women and Children Conducted by Lucille Skaggs Edwards ECONOMY IN USING MEAT Suggestions for Saving in the Cost of the Most Expensive Article in the Food Bill. Meat is one of the more expensive items in the food bill of the ordinary family, and for this reason it is im portant that it be bought and used to the best possible advantage. American consumers are reminded of this in a statement just issued by specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture. The meth ods by which economy may be effected will vary, it is pointed out, with the conditions surrounding each family, with the amount of personal supervi sion given by the housewife to the preparation of food, with her skill, with market conditions, and with the willingness of the members of the family to eat dishes other than those —often especially expensive—for which they have a special liking. Many persons, says the statement, eat over-abundantly of meat. In such cases it should be possible,, if the in centive is great enough, to reduce ex penditure for meat by reducing the amount purchased. Where meat has been purchased by telephone or orders to a butcher’s boy, personal shopping and careful selection may make a sav ing possible. Still another possibility for economizing is to purchase cheaper cuts and to compensate for any tough ness and less desirable flavor by pre paring them more carefully for the table. Finally, economy often may be achieved by utilizing the meat more completely, including the trimmings and bones and “left overs.” In purchasing the cheaper and often tougher cuts of meat instead of the choicer cuts, a housewife is losing lit tle if any nutriment, provided, of course, the proportion of bone to meat is no greater than in the more costly kinds. She rather is sacrificing only texture or flavor or ease of prepara tion for the sake of cheapness; and, if she wishes to produce dishes as pal atable as those made from expensive meats, must expend more care in pre paring, flavoring, and cooking. If the cheaper steaks are purchased, for ex ample, a degree of tenderness may be imparted to them by the well-known method of pounding the meat. The juices and flavors of such steaks will be retained more satisfactorily if flour ic sprinkled over them during the beating process and so worked into the fibres on the surface. Another common method of utiliz ing the tougher meats is to grind them and form them into balls which may be broiled like steak. Cheap cuts of meat also may be cooked slowly with vegetables or dumplings in a casser ole or any other thick-walled baking dish which can be covered, the juices thereby being retained. Whatever the quality of meat \ bought, undoubtedly there will be in most cases trimmings and scraps such as fat, bones, gristle, etc. The fat may be tried out by grinding or chop ping and heating in a double boiler. The tried-out fat then may be boiled in water and allowed to solidify on the surface of the water when the latter cools, impurities being scraped from the under surface of the cake. Trimmings of lean meat, gristle, and bone may be boiled slowly and used for soup stock. ENTERING THE YEAR OF MYSTERY What Will He He? Like a true man, stalwart, fine, Imaging the life divine? Or the semblance of a man, Just a cheap and shallow sham, Cringing, supine? Who Will He Be? One who men in honor hold, Rich in wealth that outlives gold? Or a filler-in, unknown, One who lives apart, alone, Selfish and cold ? Where Will He Be? Up where men their battles wage, Where for right they die—or live? Or where men look on, content To live a petty life, unspent— To get, not give? Whose Shall It Be? To help him in his holy quest To find in goodly time, the best? To lead him into man’s estate, To be his guide, his friend, his mate? Who stands the test? —E. C. F., in American Youth.
