The high price of meat has been
one of the most diffdult problems
for housewives to solve. But if a
woman understands - the cheaper
outs and, instead of buying expen-
sive roasts, steaks, or chaps, she
will buy poteroasts, shoulder's of
lamb or park, round or flank steaks,
or chops cut from the shoulder she
will at least find her problem much
less difficult,
These • cuts can he prepared in
many ways that make them co sweet
and tender it would be difficult for
any one to believe they were not
the expensive cuts. The first con-
sideration is to buy meat in which
there is no waste. When buying a
shoulder of lamb have the bone re-
moved and use it for soup, When
buying the cheaper outs of chops
{those from the shoulder) eut off the
ends and put these through the
food, grinder. In that way there
will be chops fol: one meal and cro
queues for another.
Breast of lamb is very seasonable
and can be prepared in numerous
ways. When roasted until it be-
comes a rich brown it is one of the
most delicious outs af.meat obtain-
able. Fricassee chickens, consid-
ering what can be done with them,
are nut expensive, A three or four
pound fowl cut into pieces, stewed
and served with ,plenty of good
,cream gravy poured over feast or
biscuit twill be sufficient for six per-
sons, and, in addition, enough will
be left for another meal of chicken
pie or cream chicken.
Another good way is to steam -it
whole instead cif 'cutting it into
pieces. Then, when the chicken is
tender, put two or three strips of
lateen on top of -it and place it in
a hot oven until it is a light brown.
'Chicken prepared in -this way will
be as tender as a high-priced roast-
ing chicken,
Making Fish Tempting. - For
those who like fish cutting down the
meat bill is a simple proposition, as
there are many different varieties
and just as many different ways of
preparing them. Fish may be served
two or throe times a week, al-
though in some families it is eaten
every day for sometimes two weeks
in succession. ' Each day a differ-
ent kind is served and prepared in
such a tempting manner that even
sit the end of that time nobody is
tired of the fish diet,
In one family of four the butch-
er's bill was cut down $2 a week,
including both meat and fish. No
one was stinted in the least. The
family, had all the meat it wanted.
Even chicken was. served, But the
housewife was careful in her buy-
ing. Instead of purchasing the
most expensive cuts she would get
the cheaper ones and prepare them
in such a way that not only the
family, ' but frequently a guest,
would .say: "My 1. but this is good.
What is it?" Sometimes it would
be a flank steak, which is much
cheaper than other steaks,
"It would be stuffed, rolled up,
tied securely and baked Prepared
in this way it was abundant for two
meals for a family of four, being
:served hot the first day and cold

before serving, drop the slices of

Gravies Instead of Meat. - In-
stead of using steaks and chops for
breakfast, delicious £hick gravies
can be made and served with pota-
toes or on toast. Among others
are eodfish gravy, chip beef gravy,
Cream gravy, and bacon gravy. The
latter is made by chopping the ba -

a$reasen and thicken with staifieient
', flour to make a thick gravy. Then
pour over toast and serve.
There are many delicious, whole -
:some, and nourishing soups, which
:require very little or no meat.
'These soups, made thick and prin-
cipally of vegetables, when served
for dinner, materially reduce the
.amount of meat necessary for that
meal. Besides the ordihary vege-
