A retail butcher in Woman's Home Companion argues high priced cuts are not always best value. He shows a weekly meat bill example dropping from 4.62 to 3.21 by choosing cheaper cuts such as rib, shoulder rib, top sirloin, and shoulder chops. He notes consumer bias toward prime cuts and explains how trimming, bone removal, and larding can stretch meals.
A rough recipe describes making okra soup with beef and venison bones stock, chopped okra tomatoes and water simmered with rice until tender. The note compares it to chicken gumbo and lists many ingredients used in gumbo.
A vintage tip describes mixing equal parts candle verape and common turpentine to make an inexpensive linoleum polish. Heat the jar until grease mattes then cool before applying with soft cloths. A small amount goes a long way.
A Recipe describes making cream of corn soup by simmering grated corn in water, then rubbing through a sieve. Butter is melted and thickened with flour and a hint of salt and white pepper, then milk is added to form a smooth cream. The corn is beaten in and served after five minutes of gentle cooking.
The hot liquor from corned beef makes a fine soup stock when not over salted or long pickled. Water used to boil such meat is useless for stock. Flatirons stay clean and smooth by rubbing with wax in cloth then with paper or cloth dusted with coarse salt.
A Chicago boy and organizer of a home knocking effort recounts his attempt to find work after arriving in America. He fled a pursuing dog by leaping a high fence, only to become tangled, prompting a lighthearted remark from a neighbor lady about his progress.
A garbled report recounts Dr Alphonse Bertilion head of a crime bureau sending a skull by will to an academy. A Dir Manouveler contests the bequest and notes the skull weighs 1485 grams versus a normal 100 grams. The case ties to a long illness of Dr Bertilion.

A Tampa reader describes severe facial and back pimples with burning sensitivity. After using a Cuticura Soap and Ointment sample from a magazine advertisement, the writer claims complete recovery and urges others to try the products available worldwide.
One hundred years ago the Empress Maria Louian and the King of Rome fled Paris under guard as Allied forces neared. Napoleon ordered the withdrawal to protect his wife and daughter with his old guard escorting the imperial carriage train. The young king clung to the palace curtains as he left, while troops bore the weight of a sorrowful departure.
A man fined in North London for being drunk and disorderly caused a scene at about one in the morning. He shouted while his arm rested on a lamp post, and when asked what he was singing the constable replied You made me love you, as the magistrate noted the plight of life’s merry-go-round of anticipations.
An advertisement touts Dr Caldwell’s Syrup Pepin as a safe reliable digestant that improves digestion and cleanses the liver and bowels. It cites Major Martin of Joplin Missouri and promises a money back guarantee. A free sample offer is available by sending name and address to Dr W J Caldwell in Monticello Michigan.
A New York reporter recalls a strange dawn vision of a monkey ornament at a window and a surreal scene that launches thoughts of a story about a man who moved out quietly. The narrative weaves in a breakfast reception and puzzling details from an evening with a caterer and guests.
