The high cost of meant, even to the

housewife seek ways and means of
snaking the daily meat ration go as
fes as possible. Then, too, the great
'agitation on the subject of health that
bels brought to even i!he most careless
people the knowledge that less meat
and more fruits and vegetables will
prolong life and make the individual
snore comfortable and efficient while
he does live, has had' its effect on the
cooking in all progressive homes.
Forty or fifty years ago it was com-
mon to have three or more kinds of
meat on the table, and .too much of
each kind, but nowadays people know
better. My grandmother always said
thatanher day people would have
been "mort'Red to death," her own
expression, if they had not served
chicken and ham and beef to guests
at the same meal;
There are certain vegetables and.
breads and deserts that will help out
short 'supplies of meat, and make the
poorer pieces appetizing. Por example,
if hash must be served, or croquettes,
to use up the remains of a roast or
odds and ends of steak, there is flee
large suet puddingg well, stuffed with
raisins will melte up for an deficien-
cies, and the poorer meat will be quite
cheerfully eaten. In the same way a
rioh mince pie will help out a scanty
portion of either beef or pork and will
supply the needed nourishment for a
hard melees', particularly if served
hot. Indeed, the country housekeeper
should always have a supply of rich
mince meat canned in order to help out
scanty meals, for there is nothing
better liked than ,tibia dessert by men
folks.
Dumplings are the mainstay of the
housekeeper who economizes ors 'riot,
and a elate seoond is the rich biscuit
oast of meat pies. Chicken with
dumplings goes twice es far as plain
chicken, and' chicken pig with raeh
gravy is a most economical dish for
the farm. Use a fat bid hen seek melte
plenty of rich gravy and the chicken
will hardly be touched as the family
will enjoy the dumplings or the•teider

dumplings, or beef pie, win help out
when an extra number of people are

supply of lean meat clinging toit will
furnish the barrier for a nice potpie or
the ham can be cooked, removed from
the 'bone and, eked out with a small
