Are at Least 99 Ways

To Extend the Meat Supply

“THE KITCHEN IS CLOSE to the firing line where one of the most important weapons of war is concerned. That weapon is food and the emphasis right now is on meat.

- Today, America’s meat supply,

must feed more people than ever |

before: The armed forces especially must have meat enough, and: on

time. - The homemaker. has. the double duty of sharing the meat fairly, yet feeding her family- for best health, The ‘way she plans meals, does her

marketing, cooks, serves: and ares

for meat in the kitchen gounts in making the supply gd around. Ninety-nine : ways to share the meat have been added up by home

economists of the department of|°

agriculture in a leaflet -just issued,

“99 Ways to Share the Meat.” To|-

begin with, they say, get the most from every bit of meat bought. Be willing to use what the market offers and buy only as much as is ‘needed and for which storage fa-

* cilities are available.

- How to Cook lt— WHEN IT COMES to cooking, an|

important rule is to cook at moderate heat and only until done, to

‘make the meat juicy and fine in

flavor. High heat or too much cooking is wasteful, makes meat dry and hard. Another important rule is to cook according to cut and fatness. A tender cut with enough fat is best roasted or broiled in an uncovered pan with no water added. Tough meat needs long slow cooking in a covered pan with added liquid. Or it can be ground and then cooked like tender meat. There are more than a score of ways to make meat go farther by spreading the flavor. Bread and cereals are good extenders. So are vegetables, ~ sauces, gravies. Meat loaves and patties are favorites.

3 Variety Meats—

STEWS MAKE A little meat go a long way with the help of vegetables, dumplings and gravy. Hash can be helpful, too. Beans make good companions for meat. Simmer them until nearly tender, then add ground meat and season. Cook slowly until the mixture thickens. For chili con carne, add chili: and other hot seasonings. Variety meats like liver, kidney

, and heart are not included in ra-

tion limits, Neither are fish and poultry. In planning meals and marketing, chodse .these as much as possiblé to ease the strain on other meat supplies. Finally, call on other hearty foods

‘to alternate” with meat as main

dishes—eggs, cheesgy dry beans and peas, peanuts and soybeans. All these contain protein plus one or more of the other food values found n meat—and usually extra food values of their own.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl who will be 18 years old in a

few months. My mother and father

I was left in the custody of my father. I had to do all the housework and go to school. Dad would not let me go anywhere else. When I wanted to go to the show I had to go with my twin brother. If I did anything he would tell Dad. When I started to notice the boys Dad refused to let me go with them and said if I did he would put me where I couldn't. - Even after his warning I slipped out and went with a fellow whom I liked very much but Dad found it out and made me stop. To make sure I wouldn’t see him he would lock me in the house and go out and leave me alone. On my 17th pirthday I told my father that I was old enough to go with the boys and watch myself. After a good deal of argument he consented. I started going “skating and mst a sailor whom I am sure I love. I went skating with him the other night and didn’t get home until about 12 g'clock. I went to school the next day but because I didn’i wear hose the nurse made me. go home. My father came home for lunch and found me in bed. He wouldn't let me explain to him why I was there. He just said I couldn't go skating any more and if I did I couldn't see Mac! I will graduate in June and then I am leaving home. He knows this and I am sure he is looking forward to it. I'd rather skate and dance than eat. Dad knows this. He also

Times Special NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—The pinafore, beloved of our Victorian parents, is lining up on the home front to do its bit for the “make it last” campaign. When little daughter squats on the floor playing with her dolls, romps outdoors with her friends or helps mother with broom or dish towel, cover her good dress with one of these charming super-aprons.

Health—

In ‘Treatment Of Rabies

By JANE STAFFORD Science Service Writer

WHEN A MAD DOG, that is, one

rabies, bites a person or another dog, two things should be done at gree. : 1. The biting dog should immediately be taken to a veterinarian or

he can be put under observation to learn whether he has rabies. 2. The person who was bitten should-see a doctor at once. If the bite victim was another dog, this animal should also be taken to the veterinarian for confinement and observation so that he cannot spread the disease if he has caught it. Classic treatment for the bite of a mad dog is to put nitric acid on the wound and to give daily, for 14 days, injections under the skin of a rabies vaccine that has been tested and proyed safe and effective. This is the treatment recommended by Dr. Leslie T. Webster, of the in a book, “Rabies” (Macmillan), he has written to help dog owners, the general veterinarians and - others understand and know what to do about the rabies problem,

» ” ” “IF A PERSON is bitten by a rabid dog and takes treatment, his]. chances of contracting rabies are not more than 1 in 77 and usually as ‘low as 1 in 510,” Dr. Webster states on the basis of reports from

the Pasteur Institute. - The chances of rabies developing if treatment is not taken are not known. If the disease does develop, however, nothing can be done to save the victim, so scientists unite| in advising the vaccine treatment. Under certain circumstances, the doctor may delay giving the treatment, for example while waiting to learn whether or not the dog had rabies. His decision will be based partly on the age of the patient and partly on the location of the bite. Bites on the face and head are more dangerous than those elsewhere. But the doctor should be consulted promptly by anyone bitten by or in intimate contact with

Grade Labeling Is Placed in Effect by OPA

the fact remains that he has not deserted you, and two children are quite a handful for a man without a woman to help him. He has not the power to put you in a girls’ school for so small an offense, nor do I think he has the slightest intention of ‘so doing. He is not that cruel and even if he were, the laws of our democracy would restrain him. He simply doesn’t know any method of handling you except, to make fearful threats. Your father has had time to cool off since he found you loafing in bed when you should have been in {school.

dotes about Indiana people. George McCutcheon.

Miss Caroline H. Howland, lives at 1233 N. Pennsylvania st., Indianapolis. Mr. Howland grew up on Pennsylvania st. He lived at No. 1233. Booth Tarkington was a block away. Already young Booth was writing and acting in his own plays which were presented in a nearby barn. “I remember how Booth used to sit in the second story window of his home and write on a board across his knees,” Mr. Howland told me. “His married sister, Haute Tarkington Jameson, always boosted his work, but the neighbors grew suspicious when nothing appeared in print.” In 1900 Booth sent his novel, “Monsieur Beaucaire,” to the New York publishers. It was rejected. Immediately Haute: packed. her bags and left for New York to see the publisher. “What's the trouble with the novel? Didnt you like this part?”

‘|she asked him, mentioning sev-

eral incidents. “Yes, I liked that” he said. “But that's not even in my brother’s book,” she told him. The publisher was forced to admit he hadn’t read the novel. But at Haute's insistence he did read it and signed the contraet immedately. * ” 2 ” MR. HOWLAND was James Whitcomb Riley’s best friend. Riley used to visit him in his second floor office at the Bobbs-Merrill Co. then on Lockerbie st. “He'd come in every day except Friday the 13th,” said Mr. Howland. “He never stirred outside his house on Friday the 13th. It was his only superstition.” Mr. Howland was editor and chief literary adviser to BobbsMerrill for 25 years. During that time he published Gene Stratton Porter's first novel, “The Song of the Cardinal,” Brand Whitlock’s first book, “The Thirteenth District,” and Maurice Tnompson’s “Alice of Old cennes.” One day a his desk.

from Indiana. When Henry James visited Indianapolis, Mr. Howland entertained him at the University club. Later when Mr. Howland was In ‘England, James repaid the compliment by inviting him “to luncheon. As the meal ended, the servant whispered to James hat he had a caller. “Ask him to wait” said the novelist. Then turning to Mr. Howland, he explained. “This young man has got. a future. I'd like you to keep your eye on him.” The young man was Hugh Walpole. On the walls. of the: Howland office hang autographed pictures of James, Tarkington, George Ade, Rex Beach, John Philip Sousa, and Ellen Glasgow. A caricature of Riley attracted my attention. It was inscribed “To Hewitt Hanson Howland from his old literary friend, J. W.

Winter vacations were growing spectacularly in pre-war years for the good reason that two short respites prove, for many women, a better all-year builder than one long summer rest.

A Fifth ave. house which concocts a fine non-sticky but creamy lotion for blustery days advises rubbing it liberally on hands, elbows, knees, knuckles. And of course, most of all, the throat. These thin-skinned areas have fewer glands. Besides, that wonderful hard cold air which is so bracing is also a natural “clamp” for openings in the skin. This closure is necessary to keep body temperature regulated, but it also reduces natural lubrication. So you supplement nature’s emolients, keeping your skin smooth and soft as well as warm. Warm clothes are indicated also. Maybe you can skate bare-legged as some of Gotham’s smart girls do—maybe not.
