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.

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.

Registered at the Imperial Hotel
vsterdftv were Mr. and. Mrs. E. B.
Hanley, of Medford. who are- on their
way to Seattle on a business trip and
to select a residence for the rest of
the Winter. Mrs. Hanley, who was
prominently Identified with the recent
success in carrying Oregon for Hughes,
eeds no other introduction tnan ner

With her husband, she cam to Fort
land yesterday, conferred with friends
during the day. attended to some
Christmas shopping, went to the mati

night with the family of B. B. Piper
and left at midnight for Seattle.
The Hanleys will spend a week in

celebrate Christmas.
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.

and Junior feed Marshall a dozen times

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.

VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) 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.
It is implied that the company can
make arrangements with the North
Coast Power Company to go over its
tracks from Main to Third to ash
ington and down Washington to the
bridge. The company had asked per
mission, to, loop, around .the. substation
bftween First street and the Columbia .
River, but the Council would not per
mit it.
F. 1. Fuller, of the Portland Railway,
Light &. Power Company, has written
the Council that the company will build
around as indicated if the property
owners will give a bonus of $4000,
which, it seems, they are not inclined
to do.
First street is about- to be paved
from the bridge to Main street and now
is the practical time for the laying of
