PROPER COOKING
When meat is high It behooves every one of us to use every scrup of meat to get the utmost of food. value.
The initial meat cost per pound is determined by supply and de- mand and naturally is out of con- ... "trol of the home-maker. But the cost of waste due to thoughtless cooking is the cook's responsibi lity.
Boak gelatine in cold water," dissolve in 1 tablesoon hat water.
ק
Porterhouse steak is an example · of thoughtiess waste in many households because it seldom is cooked to give it its full value. Aside from the waste in bone and fat, the tall is usually overcooked and unedible.
HAS FINE FLAVOR
Yet it has a Ane flavour and if properly cooked is just as de.. sirable as the tenderloin,
Try trimming the meat from the fat and put this piece of lean "tail" meat through the food chopper twice. Season with tea- spoon salt and a few grains of pepper Mix with a few" dried bread crumbs and add one or two tablespoons milk. Stir lightly with a fork until thoroughly mix- ed and shaped in a small cake the thickness of the steak.
Fit the cake into the side of the steak where it came from and bring the fatty end of the tail around it. Run a skewer through the fat and meat cake into the loin of the steak to hold it se- curely. Broll as usual. Remove skewer after steak is on platter and before sending table.

The TIME TEST and
'ASPRO'
THE old idea that a dozen
medicines were needed for a
dozen complaints--that laying up for indefinite periods was necessary—that it was also necessary to take dangerous drugs and narcotics—was an illusion. 'ASPRO has dis- pelled it. For it is the medicine that takes the place of a dozen medicines, because, after ingestion in the system. it is an internal antiseptic-an anti-pyretic or fever reducer -an anti-periodic-a powerful germicide, and a solvent of Uric Acid, and, therefore. banishes the causes of numerous complaints. That's why 'ASPRO banishes beadaches in five minutes. It's the time test for quick action. and it stands the test of time. 'ASPRO' soothes the irritable--brings sweet sleep" to the sleepless-relieves rheumatism in one night-smashes colds and influenza at inception. Furthermore. 'ASPRO' does not harm the heart or the stomach. It can be taken by all. from child to parent. anywhere. any time. The price is within the reach of all.
