CITTIMJ THE MEAT BILL DOWN
Bullein Xo. 391 of the United
States dapartmei^t of agriculture
ought to be in great demand, as it
contains more than fifty practical
and economical recipes for the pre
paration of meat dishes, and is vir
tually a cook book. On top of a'.l
this it is to be had for the asking,
free of cost. What it does, or
rather what it is intended to do, is
to t6acj tho American people, com
monly known as the most extrava
gant p^-ople on earth 'u their meth
od and manner of living, how to get
the most for their money in meat, an
how to get all that they are enti
tled to out of their meat purchases.
It is appropriate that hints of the
latter character should be given
with regard to meat, for no matter
how careless the consumer may
bp in his treatment of that article, j
it is regard for every detail of sav-1
inp economy that has given the pro
ducer, that is to say the pucker, a
front place in the ranks of Amer
ican efficients.
Bulletin Xo. 391 practically ap
plies to the family meat purchase j
the principle that obtains in the i
great abattoirs or stockyards of
Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St.
Joseeph and Sioux City. In the
meat packing industry nothing ii
wasted, nothing is lost; in the hand
ling of i.be average household me»
supplv much is wasted and lost. Th
aggregate of niea,t waste and los,
| in the United States would go fa
toward feeding a nation of consider
able size.
Bulletin No. 391 takes cognlzano
of this. Its hints and its recipes an
intended to lead the American peo
pie along lines of economy. Tin
pamphlet holds that the people o
the United States, to begin with, us
too much meat. This assertion i:
hardly to be questioned. in tin
next place, it is held, they uo no
get a full return for the meai
which they buy. They are t|ieiu
selvss to blame for this. When 11
is necessarly to say semi-officiallj
that American housewives " sc.-a
to have a prejudice against econo
mizing in small ways.'" is it nol
time to s'op, look, lis.en? Bulletin
No. 391 is calculatccl to put the
doubtful ones to the test. It gives
liinis for the cutti.ig down of the
meat bill which may be followed
without in the least degree inter
fering with proper satisfaction of
the appetite. It shows in half a
hundred recipes how it can be done
and dono nicely. How many will
profit by the showing?
IUCHARDSOX OUTLINES
DISTRIBUTION OF FINDS
Col. w. P. Richardson, whose |
annual report us president of the i
Alaska board of road commission
ers, makes the following proposed I
distribution of the $r,2Go.0U0 which
he asks Congress for expenditure of
a wagon road system in Alaska:
Maintenance of the piesent
roads ... .. $1,250,000
Completion of projects al
ready undertaken and
their maintenance .. 1,420,000
Projects approved but not
begun ... 2.7S0.000 I
Projects not yet importaut
but which will develop
as other roads are built
1,800,000
Total $7,250,000
Speaking of the proposed Alaska
railroad. Col. Richardson says it
will be useless unless v/agon roads
are provided as feeders. He says:
"Our board specifically disavows
any intent to set forth views
in opposition or discouragement to
railroad construction i;i the Terri
tory under proper limitations, but
after several years of careful ob
servation and study of the land
transportation conditions and of the
natural inducements to develop
and to settlement which exist, is
convinced that no rapid or general
development will follow the con
struction of trunk lines for railroad
unless preceded or accompanied by
the construction of numerous wag
on roads and trails as feeders, and
even then the development will be
slow." ^
