V How to Lower Hints From the Jus l i HOUSEWIVES BUY LAMB AND MUTTON UNWISELY. The Eat More Lamb campaign which is being conducted throughout the country at the present time before col leges, domestic science schools, women's clubs,- various institutions, public schools, meat markets, etc., has brought before the general public the value of lamb as a food product, but especially has it demonstrated the value and economy of the cheaper cuts of lamb which have been neglected. It has been a contention of the retailer for years that a great part of the fore quarter?the neck, shoulder, shank and breast?must be sold at a loss or eventually reach the scrap or bone box. Some retail butchers bone out these cheap fore-quarter cuts, put them v through the meat grinder, season them and mold them up into lamb patties, putting a strip of bacon around each one, leave them in the cooler over night and sell all of them next day at good prices. Many butchers could sell more than they can supply. The butcher has thus turned into an asset or profitmaker that portion which has heretofore been considered a loss. Steaks and roasts can be had from the shoulder, lamb rolls from the neck, breast and shoulder, and neck slices are obtained by cutting the neck in sections crosswise, so that the meat has the appearance of chops and is a very Inviting dish when used as a stew or potted lamb casserole. The cheaper cuts of lamb are made from the breast, shoux*?er, shank and neck which combined are about 18 per cent of the lamb. Lamb is a. w=?thful food for all people. It is wrr nutritious, wholesome and palatable **?d in caloric value it is equal or superior to any other meat. The boned and rolled shoulder mentioned above is used for roasting purposes; it can also be cut to any desired weight or can be sliced into Saratoga chops. United States government statistics tell us that each year the average housewife buys for every person in her household only about 5 pounds of lamb as compared with about 71 pounds of pork and 67 pounds of beef. / If all American families used lamb one day a week it would mean more than 20 pounds of iamb annually per capita, or four times the present consumption. More than that, the head of the family, who pays the bills, would no doubt Shakespeare Down to Date. Justice Wayne, dramatic actress, finds an explanation of the question as to why Shakespearian plays seldom win financial reward in what she terms Shakespeare's inability to give his productions catchy titles. She suggests a repertoire of the bard's plays rechristened to meet popular demands for stimulating titles. She suggests "How Could You, Juliet?" as more appropriate than plain "Romeo and Juliet" She also would substitute "Call of the Flesh" for "The Merchant of Venice;" "Strangled in Bed" for "Othello; 'The Nutty Princess" for "Hamlet;" "Henry, Whom Do You Love?" for "Henry V;" "Big Dick" for "Richard the Third;" "The Knife" for " Jul ins Caesar" and "Moonlight and Honeysuckle" for "Midsummer Night's Dream." p.The Cheerful Exterminator. On moving into oui honeymoon apartment we discovered that it was . sadly in need of the services of an exterminator. With a bride's ignorance of apartment house life and the clubby ways of the cockroach, I regarded this as a personal disgrace, and took great care to keep it a profound secret from our friends. One day, while exhibiting my shiny new kitchen equipment to a girl friend, I answered the back-door buzzer, and there was the exterminator, inquiring in a loud, cheerful tone, "Well, how axe the cockroaches?" The situation reduced my mind to such a pulp that I babbled, 'they're * well, thank you!"?Exchange. The Bite That Failed. As a rule the relations between Russians and Japanese soldiers in Siberia have been friendly enough. But at a town on the Transiberian railway, which had just been freed from the foul tyranny of bolshevist rule, a Jap ' anese soldier haled a Dig, staring moujik into the presence of his commanding officer. "What has he been doing?" asked the colonel. "I gave him a cigarette," said the soldier, "and then he tried to bite me!" Kissing, even between members of the opposite sexes, is not a Japanese cus.to SCHEDUI At Allendc ALLENDALE BUY YOU BAMBERG ^Ia/ I4 July 2 BARNWELL - )Tay 2;l June lo BLACKVILLE Ju,ne } July 6 DENMARK ^Iay 21 June 11 WILLISTON f*>e\2 your Meat Bills i Department of tice encourage purchasing the cheaper lamb cuts instead of merely a few chops at a time. A shoulder of lamb, being smaller than the average beef joint and less expensive, should appeal especially to small families. The marketing expeditions should be an education in economy. i It usually pays to shop before you i buy. It usually pays to do your marketing personally rather than telephone your i order. Lamb steaks and lamb chops take but a few moments to cook, but they i are the most expensive cuts. As a lamb is not all chops and steaks, other and less expensive parts of the animal must be used and can be made into tasty dishes. Breast of lamb coni tains more meat than bone, yet it often L sells for half the price of pork spareribs, and some retailers on account of a limited demand for the fore-quarter cuts tind it necessary to convert these cheaper cuts into sausage in order to sell them at all. Lamb is a somewhat seasonable meat, by far the greater part of live lambs reaching the market during the ; latter half of the year. In the spring around Easter time, lamb may be as , high or higher than other meats. In the fall and early winter it is nearly ; always much cheaper. The following average prices compiled by the National Wool Growers' association from representative re. tailers throughout the country show . comparative levels of the different , meats in the fall season as they occurred in the middle of October, 1919. These figures are not applicable now, except that they emphasize a typical . relationship: > Lamb?Leg, 37 cents; loin, 44 cents; i shoulder, 27 cents; rib chops, 46% cents. Sheep?Leg, 29 cents; loin, 28 cents; shoulder, 16% cents; chops, 35 cents. Pork?Loin, 43 cents; fresh ham, 35 ! cents. Beef?Sirloin, 45 cents; porterhouse, 48 cents; tenderloin, 50 cents; round steak, 38 cents. These prices were for the best-quality meats in all cases. Mutton Stew With Barley. Cut meat from neck or breast into i small pieces. Put in kettle with wa. ter to cover. Use about 1% cupfuls wa. ter to a pound of meat Add onions, carrot, Salt and pepper. For each pint liquid add 1-3 cup pearl barley. Simmer gently two or three hours. |4 The New Age. A pretty Philadelphia girl ' at a Newport dance wore a rose-colored gown of the new "bareback" fashion. Very decollete in front, the gown's bodice in the rear opened in a broad V almost to tne waist. There were no sleeves to the rose-colored gown; on the contrary it was cut out under the arms like the jerseys worn by athletes. It had, to be sure, a dainty wisp of a train, but nevertheless the flimsy skirt was so exiguous that as the girl whirled about the ballroom to the wild strains of the jazz band it was frequently possible to see that her garters had ruby buckles. A Philadelphia matron said to George Gould as the girl floated past: "Joan is a lovely creature, but all her interests are wrapped in clothes." "Evidently her interests only, ma'am," said Mr. Gould with a cynical smile. PREPARE FOR COLLEGE NEW CAMPAIGN SLOGAN PUBLIC SCHOOL* TO OBSERVI MAY 14 TO GIVE STIMULUS . TO IMPORTANT MOVEMENT. Public scheols here hare been r* guested to observe May 14, which has beet designated "Prepare for College Dtfcy" la tow state a ad in the other stales comprising the Fifth Federal Reserve District.

Ttat purposes of the observance, it is explained, are to stress the Importunes of a college education and to offer suggestive methods whersby the puPtta, and their parents, may plan ahead with a college course definitely in view. Woman's elubs are being askid to help in the movement, and the Rotary elubs also are expected to take part, while many churches have expressed their interest and indicated their desirs to participate. Further, the United States Treasury Department^ through the district War Loan Organ ieatioB, is lending assistance, and the general plan, it is announced, has re* eeived the heartiest approval of practically every college president in the state. Miss Mary G. Shotwell, director of the educational division of the War Loan Organization of this district, recently discussed the project before the convention of the Virginia Association of Women'# Colleges and Stehooto. The association, by resolution, pledged its "smears and hearty co-operation ta carry lag out all the plans." k to proposed by the Treasury Department that parents who desire to ??td their none and daughters to soltogas and that boys and girls who wish la provide a .asltoge fund tor themthhrei?that they definitely plan tor the future and make regular systematic saving a part of their plan.

Very few furs are sent abroad, the exceptions being Tibetan lamb, mufflin (plucked goat skin), and a few other varieties. The great demand for furs in all countries and the keen competition in the trade has sent up the prices of raw furs to figures unheard of a few years ago. Sables have enormously increased in value, due to the short supply and the closure of the Russian sable markets. Port of Shanghai. The port of Shanghai does perhaps 40 per cent of the entire foreign trade of China, and of the total imports of Shanghai for the year 1918, the United States furnished about 16 per cent Chinese industries which are prosperous are cotton spinning, shipbuilding and flour milling.

Ban,ber?'S" C Please. Doctor, Make Us Pretty! Dr. Seymour Oppenhelmer of New York writes to the Medical Record expressing the hope that the long strides made in what is called "cosmetic" surgery during the war may not be lost to the civil population. He says that this surgery for the sole purpose of beautifying ugly persons was always considered "rather a shady business" in which no reputable surgeon would engage. But there are so many ugly faces and their beautiflcation would make i their owners happy, some surgeon the . richer by a fee, and the world at large happier for not being obliged to look at ugliness, that this is the auspicious moment for taking cosmetic surgery cut of the hands of charlatans and quacks and putting it into those of ikilled practitioners.
