Bpencsr In Xltchsn Eoonomy Tectur at the Idbrary Hall. A large arid enthuslaatlo aueienca gathered Wednesday night In Library hall, the occasion being a kitchen econ omy meeting conducted under th di rection of tha Patriotic Conservation league, with Mrs. J. D. Spencer and a skillful butcher In charge. The cen ter of interest waa a quarter of beef which surmounted a butcher's block and which was cut up and the cost and relative food value explained by Mrs. Spencer. ' The speaker made a point of telling of the protein contained in each tut of meat, saying in part: "We eat meat because it contains the proteins which are the building materials of the bodv. These building materials come chiefly from lean meat, fish, poultry, dried beans, peas and peanuts. The long strands of lean meat familiar to every housewife who has boiled beef are in fact tubes which contain protein and that is the muscle builder. The cheap er cuts are heavy with protein and with proper vegetable seasoning make excellent stews and soups." The butcher then cut up the quarter of beef and as he did so he held up each piece and told its cost and Mrs. Spencer told of its food value and how best to cook it.
