Salvationists Save Both Soul and Body Perhaps no institution in Birming or the state of Alabama is less advertised and yet accomplishes great er good than the institution which many only know as "3301 Avenue E," the Salvation Army Rescue Home. But the writer of real human in terest stories would find much ma terial here and many broken hearts mended and lives and souls saved for better things. "What is your method in carrying en this' work?" a reporter asked Commandant Emma Walgren, in charge of the home. "Our endeavor is to carry on our work in a true home spirit, thus help ing in a great measure to lessen the sad partings from parents and friends," was the answer of this stu dent of humanity in all its phases. "So many weary and broken hearts enter the door at '3301 Avenue E.' What do they find? A mother's true and devoted care of a wayward one; Christian influence uplifted by God's divine grace, which emanates from the staff of workers in our Home; sorrow, pain and suffering turned into Joy and peace with the great desire to be good, also a determination to make something of tneir future life. "I will quote one present case: . A fine looking young woman, separated from her husband, managed to get into the hands of the law. When re leased she was taken by a Salvation Army officer into her own family, be came con\-^Mi and she is now doing all she can to help others who are on the downward path. "How many beautiful passages one could repeat from letters received from those who have left, such as 'I always enjoyed the evenings we spent all together In that dear sew- Salvation Army lassie is held out always and the Rescue Home provides a lng room.' Another says, 'WTiat a haven for the erring girl. could I have ever done without those___ gentle sympathizing Salvation Army people in my hour of need.' and hundreds of similar expressions could be repeated." i "Do you do anything to improve the education of some of those who come to you?" was another question asked by the visitor. • "There are quite a number who cannot read or write," came the answer. "We try to alleviate this handi- ! cap, but need greater facilities. Our cases come from all over the Gulf States and their physical condition is espe cially attended to by a first-class physician and nurse, and when strong enöugh to leave, they are returned to their homes, or situations found for them. "Our principal aim is to encourage these young mothers to keep their babies, as they receive instructions in Christian training, nursing, needle work, cooking, washing and all house duties which makes them gain and take a firmer hold on home life." But just what is being done is perhaps best illustrated ia the report of the commandant for last month, which closes as follows: ' "Thirty-six girls and eighteen children are the number for this month in our home, chiite a family to be re sponsible for, but with work, singing, and playing, time passes toward the Heavenly Home our Blessed Redeemer has promised to those who are faithful to the end." Commandant Walgren and those who are aiding her in this work are hopeful that as a result of the fund raised in the coming Salvation Army Home Service Appeal, May 10-20. the much desired and needed "better facilities" will, be provided to properly care for the unfortunate victims of a not altogether just system and condition of society, The crowded condition of the Rescue Home is shown by the fact that it is necessary to put cots in the halls to care j for the inmates. A small part of the money raised in ea h of the twenty-five zones in the Gulf Division will go 1 lo the support, maintenance and expansion of the work of the Divisional Rescue Home In Birmingham. j W: W r f¥r i! * ■i.

The housewife of the present gen eration and particularly of the past year or so, during which money has been rather plentiful, has been de manding meats from one or two cuts of beef ; that is, cuts from the loin for steak and cuts from the ribs for roasts. This has created a tremendous demand for the loins and ribs, leaving an oversupply of the major portion of the carcass, which the retailer must dispose of at a disadvantage, owing to the lack of demand. If Mrs. Housewife would take more Interest and specialize in her buying, end would read carefully the articles that have been and are being pub lished, calling her attention to the cheaper meats, she would realize a substantial saving. She would soon become convinced that there is excep tionally good meat in the round, rump, plates, chuck, etc. In the olden days Mrs. Housewife would call for a chuck steak, round steak, as well as an occasional porter house. Mrs. Housewife now knows only one steak, and that is the porter house, which Is naturally the most ex pensive, as it is the most called for, and it logically must stand the extra expense. It Is the world old law of supply and demand. IJow many housewives know that from the chuck they can get steaks, boiling beef, pot roasts and stew meats? The carcass (excepting the loins and ribs) contains meats that are Just as^ appetizing, delicious and nutritious as the more expensive cuts, which are the ribs and loins. Un fortunately, however, custom recently bas dictated that the ribs and loins be considered the more popular, hence the cheaper cuts have really gone out of their own. A few years ago the average house wife usually called for a chuck steak or round steak as a matter of course. In fact, it was the daily diet and one seldom thought of ordering sirloin or porterhouse steak, except on special occasions. A good comparison would be that of ordering chicken or turkey for every day of the week just because it happens to be a "treat" or a special delicacy, and if chicken or turkey were thus ordered the outcome would simply be higher prices, due to the demand being larger than the supply. The round makes wonderful steaks^ HERE'S HOW IT'S DONE. Imagine a torch flanve so hot that it will melt steel, iron, brass or any metal easily and quickly and hold it at a liquid state. The Oxy-Acetylene flame, 6300 o Fahrenheit in temperature does this—by playing this flame on the edges of a broken part, both edges are brought to a liquid state and enough new metal added to build up the crack or defect. Thus the two pieces of idetal are not merely cemented together—the metal flows together and fuses into one solid piece. In many cases the weld is the strongest section of the part.

The loins represent 17 per cent and the ribs 0 per cent, and of the entire car- • cass there is actually less than 5 per cent porterhouse steak, 3 per cent of club steak and about 9 per cent of sirloin steak. Among the many appetizing uses of ; the chuck are roasts, steaks, pot ! roasts, stews, boiling beef, pot pie meat and hamburger, with the fore shank for soup meat and soup bones. There has lately arisen such a re markable demand for one or two ex pensive kinds of meats that people who formerly were entirely satisfied with what represents the less pensive portions never even think of calling for them, they continually complain of their meat bills without stopping to analyze ex At the same time the reason. Is that the best you have?" seems The more it costs ! «t to be the by-word, the more people want it.
