Conserve Meat. Reduce Cost of Living by Buying Cheaper Meat. Despite the general complaints about the high cost of living, retail ers of meat declare that they have a brisk demand for the so-called choice cuts, but find it difficult to sell the less expensive portions. The ribs and the loins are very popular, while wholesome meats like chuck, flank and brisket are sadly neglected. This situation has become so acute that many retailers no longer stock the less costly cuts of meat; others grind these cuts up into Hamburger steak. Some of the inexpensive pieces are almost literally wasted. The de land for meats at retail is thorough ly uneven. This makes merchandising 'less efficient. Who pays for this waste? Who pays for this loss of efficiency? You know who pays. It will not be a popu lar thought, but it does seem a sort of poetic justice that those who have created this situation are facing the | problem of changing it, or paying for it: I mean the consumers. Loins and ribs make up about 25 per cent of the dressed meat animal. Yet it is on that 25 per cent that a great part of the demand is concen trated. When demand is heavy for any commodity which is available in relatively small quantity, the obvious effect on price does not necessitate statement. Many cuts of meat-meat that is wholesome, meat that is rich in food value, meat that is thoroughly palat able when properly prepared-is sell ing at low prices. Let's buy. No table is disgraced by a savory stew, a good pot roast, which will appeal to the normal appetite. If you do not be lieve corn beef is tasty and popular, pick up a luncheon menu in some ho tel and scan it. All of these dishes and many others can be made from meat cuts selling at relatively low prices. They may not be available at your retailer now, but if you and your friends will create a demand for them, he will handle them. During "Save Money on Meat" Week it is hoped that the retail dealers will buy the less costly cuts in quantities ade quate to meet the demand. Ask your butcher what he intend to do; and in order to be fair, tell him what you intend to do. If he carries it in stock, will you buy it? Do you really want good meat at low prices? Westmoreland steaks and brisket of beef can be found in table d'hote luncheons at some of the largest ho tels in the country. If these dishes are good enough for the Astorbilt-if you try them-you may find them good enough for you. If there are any persons here who do not undei-stand how to prepare the less costly cuts, write to the State Chairman, Division of Women's ac tivities, Depart eut of Justice, High Cost of Living Campaign; or write to this Division of the Department at Washington and ask for information. Ask your retailer what meat he likes for his home table. You may be surprised tp learn that he does not have porterhouse and sirloin steaks for dinner every night. Daring "Save Money on Meat" Week, give the inexpensive cuts a fair trkal, if you have not done so al ready. But begin now to "Save Mon ey1' by studying these cuts, and then buy them. In that case you will be in a position to take full advantage of the opportunities offered during "Save Money on Meat" Week. Buy chuck steak and make roasts and stews. Ask for plate beef and turn it into soup and pot roast. Pur chase flank for pot pies, or flank steak or stew in accordance with the part of the flank which you buy. Call for brisket for pot roasts or corn beef. Try round steak just for an ex periment and see how much by ju dicious buying you can save on meat in one week, without sacrificing quantity or palatability. Pot Roast With Vegetables. 3 or 4 pounds of chuck roast 1 cup sliced carrots 1 cup sliced onions 1 cup celery cut in bits 1 cup sliced turnips , 3 tablespoons fat (preferably from salt pork) If the meat is not sold in a solid piece, skewer or tie it into shape, wipe it with a damp cheesecloth, and roll in flour. Boil vegetables in salted water to barely cover until soft. Rub through a coarse strainer. Heat fat in a frying pan or Dutch oven. Put in the meat and brown on all sides. Jil the frying pan is used, transfer the meat, after it is brown, to a kettle, unless the pan is deep enough to hold the beef. Pour the vegetables and their liquid over the meat, with any preferred seasoning. Cover tightly .and let simmer slowly for four or five hours, turning twice. Thicken the gravy a little and pour over the meat. Brain Rissoles. 2 cups brains (or 1 whole brain) % teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped green pep per ls cup thick white sauce Put brains into a bowl of cold water with salt for thirty minutes, skin and remove fibre. Cook in water to cover for fifteen minutes. Drain, chop or put through a meat grinder, add seasoning and white sauce. Form into small balls; roll sheet of pie paste or short biscuit dough quite thin. Place the balls in a row equal distances apart. Place another sheet uf paste over all. Stamp out with round cutter or cut them apart and press upper and lower crusts togeth er. Bake in a moderate oven. Brown in deep, hot vegetable frying medi um. Beef Balls With Dumplings. To a cup and a haJf of beef from tiie shank, put twice through a food chopper, add a third of a cup of bread crumbs, salt, pepper, a tea spoonful of lemon ju.ce, a little nut meg and a beaten egg. Shape into balls lightly ,and let them stand for half an hour or more to become firm, then roll them in flour and brown in the frying pan with three tablespoons of lard or some salt and pork fat. Then add a tablespoon of flour to the remaining fat and a cup of stock. Season well, add this mixture to the meat balls and simmer in a closely covered dish for an hour and a half. S. C. Going After Civil War Money. An effort that may result in the securing for South Carolina and cer tain South Carolinians the sum of approximately four million dollars is being made by J. E. McDonald, attor ney of Winnsboro, acting as special agent for the state of South Carolina under an act of the recent legisla ture, for the recovery fr m the fed eral government of funds due the state from cotton seized and destroy ed during the Civil War as taxation. Mr. McDonald has been in Colum bia during the past few days and he states that he has been contracted with by the governor and the attor ney general, to handle the big claim with Washington. Mr. McDonald states that there are twenty-five or thirty states interested in getting similar funds from Con gress, and the agents of these states are to co-operate in an effort to have congress pass an act which will al low the recovery of this money. An act of 1915 cut off all possibility of recovering such funds. A meeting is to be held in Wash ington at some future date, when the representatives of these states, in cluding New York, Utah, California, South Carolina, and others will co operate in an effort to get an act through Congress providing for the refund to the states of the money in question. Some of the claimants to this cot ton fund are still living. Others have died and their share will likely es cheat to the state. John I. Rice at torney of Columbia, is handling claims of this nature for a number of citizens, and there are probably others who will be able to substan tiate their claim to part of the fund. Efforts have been made in" past years, states Mr. McDonald, to get such funds provided by Congress but the efforts have been by individuals. He states that by the concerted ac tion of the agents of all the states in terested, the money can be more like ly secured.-Columbia Record.

C. ? g C. N. BRADSHAW SANITARY PLUMBING WHAT IS HOME WITHOUT PLUMBING The installation of water works for the town is now under way. There has been gradual increase in the cost of plumbing material and fixtures for the past two years or more, and we see no prospect for a decrease for months to come. Supply houses cannot guarantee delivery at any specif ied time. I cannot give an estimate and guarantee prices for more than four or five days. If the estimate is accepted I can guarantee the pnces whether the work will be done at once or in the next thirty days. In any case there will probably be some delay. The wise man will install his plumping now and connect with the town water works later. wm fora Your Orders Solicited.
