THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, DECE3IBER 13, 1916. mm ARE SHOWN HOW MEAT IS COT Practical Demonstration Given by Mrs. J. D. Spencer Be- fore Woman's Club. GREAT WASTE IS REBUKED Toorer Cuts Declared Better Fla vored Than So-Called Prime Ones, and Poor Cooking Is Blamed for Divorces. Kustiand your fat. that you may fat ten your husbands. This, in effect, was one of the bits of advice given several hundred Port land women yesterday afternoon' at Library Hall by Mrs. J. D. Spencer, who gave a practical talk in connec tion with a demonstration of meat cutting-. How to get the best results out of the cheaper cuts of beef was the general topic Mrs. Spencer emphasized the need of pood management in the household and the collecting of fats and their use in cookery was a salient feature of her remarks. The meeting was held under the auHpices of the Portland Woman's Club. Mrs. C. B. Simmons presided- A butcher's block, two quarters of beef and a whlte-aproned butcher, 1'rank Chrlsman, provided the most unusual stage setting that the refined atmosphere of Library Hall ever saw. Under the eyes of the audience the side of beef was chopped up, the various cuts pointed out. the cheaper ones rec ommended as being of better flavor. and economy advised In purchasing meats. Questions Asked Freely. It was not a meeting to cheer the heart of a packing-house baron, but the women who attended were much Instructed. They asked questions free ly and voluminous notes were taken. Further meetings along the same line were advised as profitable. "Economy is the object of the meet ins' said Mrs. Simmons, in calling it to order, "vv e feel that a food boy cott is destructive; this, we believe, is constructive." Accompanied by a chart on a black board depicting a blocky steer with his edible portions chalked off and num bered, the object lesson was given. With the frequent hacking and sawing of the butcher. Every part of the animal was described, from soup bone at 6 cents a pound to sweetbreads at 60 "If tripe were as scarce as sweet breads, it would undoubtedly be as lugh in price," was one of Mrs. Spen cer's observations. Tenderloin steak, for example, was described as being the tenderest part of the beef, and therefore the highest priced, but it was declared that cheaper cuts have far more flavor and, if prop erly cooked, are .Just as good. 91oit Cooking Recommended. Blow cooking. In fact a mere simmer, was emphasized and recommended for the parts of the beef least appreciated. but really higher In food values than the portions most highly prized. For example., it was said that a cross-rib pot roast at 14 cents a pound can be made to equal a prime-rib roast at 20 cents. Flank steak, at 20 cents, could be cooked properly and made to equal In appetizing qualities a T-bone steak at 25 cents. Even the lowly chuck, the brisket and the neck were declared to be full of possibilities for one who understands cookery. "It is better, in my opinion." said Mrs. Spencer, "to select a second-class cut of meat from a first-class animal than a first-class cut from a second class beef." She told of the use of fats other than butter, such as suet at 10 cents a pound, that could be used largely to replace the more expensive fats in the kitchen with equally good results. The European housewife, she declared, has Americans outdone when It comes to practicing real efficiency. She cited the fact that chickens' feet are skinned and utilized for food in Europe, where they are sold as are pigs" feet here, Good Cooking Is Urged. . The importance of good cookery for other reasons than that of economy Was mentioned by Mrs. Spencer. "I have yet to find a divorce In family where the wife Is a good cook,' she said. "A man has as much right to expect his wife will have dinner ready for him when he gets home as she has the right to expect his pay envelope on Saturday night." L. D. Mahone, chairman of the mass meetings now being held to attack the high cost of living, announced that ar rangements were being perfected for the direct Interchange of food products from the producer to the consumer, and that within a very short time this new y thrust at living expenses Is expected to Become an accomplished fact. The establishment of co-operative grocery stores is expected soon, also, and it is said one may be opened In th Hawthorne district within 10 days. It Is held this plan will eliminate th present profits of middlemen. Two Firms Incorporated. SALEM. Or., Dee. 12. (Special.) Among leading articles of Incorporation filed with the Corporation Commission er today were those for the Flanders estate. Portland, capitalized at $600,000, and the Santa Barbara Telephone Com rany, of Portland, capitalized at $700,-000. Practical Economy Baking powders made from alum or phosphate may be bought for a trifle less than Royal Baking Powder, which is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes. Alum powders are not only cheap, but they differ greatly in leavening power. ' If a cheap baking powder is used for a fine cake and the cake turns out a failure there is a waste of costly materials worth more than a whole can of the cheap bak ing powder. Royal Baking Powder produces the finest food, and its use therefore, results in an actual saving. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York MRS. HANLEY VISITS Medford Woman Campaigner En Route to Seattle.

I absolutely refuse to talk politics. said the charming ranch girl-woman "I'm too interested In my children's Christmas tree just now to think about anything else. Junior Selects Tree. 'Junior, that my big 14-year-old boy, has already got the tree. Or at least he has it picked out. He s had his eye on it ever since last ennstraas and rejoices daily at its spreading limbs and splendid greenery. And) It isn't because the tree looks as if it would hold all the presents in the world s shopsr that he chose it. My kiddies are so satisfied with Just any thing that comes on Christmas. "Junior wants a small shotgun and a pair of knee pads for football, and Katheryn wants dolls. She is the most devoted mother of a big family of dolls, but she constantly Is adding to her household. Her most recent ad dition is Hughesette, a dolly I sent her on her birthday In October and which she named for Mr. Hughes. "Our ranch home is filled with children at Chrtstmastide. for my kid dies always have a big time of it and ask all the other children for miles around to see their tree." Asked what she thought of Jean nette Rankin, Congresswoman, Mrs. Hanley said: ' "I look to see a future In which a Senate and ftouse are equally divided. Miss Rankin is the herald that goes before. She Is clever and has won her spurs. I cannot see but that she Is a match for any man In the House of Representatives. She Is going there with the Idea of accomplishing things. The personal element does not enter into her work. Wonderful Thlnjrs Possible. "The situation is such that a clever woman in her position can do wonder ful things not only for women, but for our big West. "From' all I learn. Miss Rankin Is a sensible woman with a good mind she is purposeful and resourceful and she is going there to accqmplish results. "Men follow precedents and, through obsolete conventionalities, often ham per legislation. A woman goes directly to the point. If she desires certain information, if she desires certain changes, she takes the most expedient way to perform them. Because a thing has always been done in one certain fashion is no reason with a woman why it should continue to be done that way if H. needs any remedying. "The .extremely interesting situation of the balance of power In the House will give Miss Rankin a wonderful op portunity to obtain from both sides an Intelligent hearing, and I think co operation." Mrs. Hanley reports that Marshall. the porker sent her by Eastern Oregon irienas or Wilson, is thriving nicely. ue belongs to Katheryn. and she and Junior feed Marshall a dozen times dally, trying to get the poor little creature into some semblance of a real pis- TWO AFFIRM CONVICTION Dissenting Opinion by Bnrneet Pro- Tides for Reopening Cases. SALEM, Or.. Dec. 12. (Special.) While a strong effort made about two years ago for the pardon or parole of Roy Farnum, serving a sentence in the Oregon State Penitentiary for man slaughter committed in Douglas County, was dropped, information developed here today that, in the light of a strong dissenting opinion banded down by Justice Burnett in the Supreme Court to an affirming opinion of two other justices in the Farnum case, that an other errort win Dt instituted In a short time to gain executive clemency for the man. In an opinion by Justice McBrlde, concurred in by Judge Harris, the court affirms the decision of the lower court of Douglas County., G. F. Skipworth Judge. Roy Farnum was convicted of man slaughter for the slaying of Edna Morgan in the Cow Creek Valley. In his dissenting opinion Justice Burnett declares, in brief that three errors clouded the proceedings of the court, one. the admission of hearsay, detailing & Statement o Edna Jlorgaa about her thought concerning the pos sible future movement of the defend' ant:. two. the faulty instruction of the court, wherein it assumed that abor tion alone was a crime without stat ing the other elements of the offense defined by statute, and, three, charging the Jury about forms of manslaughter of which no intimation was given to the defendant by the indictment upon which he was tried. In the case of S. G. Sargeant, as Superintendent of Banks, on behalf of the creditors of the American Bank & Trust Company of Portland, insolvent, vs. G. W. Waterbury, et al, the cause is dismissed in an opinion by Justice Benson. Other decisions were:" Edwin B.

The City Council last night adopted a resolution that it would grant a franchise for the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company to leave the bridge, go up First to Main, up Main to Third street.
