More mutton on the table means more money tor the movies and chea- pei clothes to wear to them, says W. fl Tomhaye, head of the Department o' Animal Husbandry at the Pennsyl¬ vania State College. To lower the rost of living eat more lamb. It is the cheapest meat on the market to- <!ay and offers a great source of econ¬ omical food for the American people, il' they would avail themselves of it. Sheep meat is higher in energy value than beef, while lamb is practically ihe sa'me as beef. Pound for pound, l.mb contains more protein than beef or pork, accrding to analysis furnish- eil by the federal Department of Ag¬ riculture. It about equal to beef in fit content, but lower than pork in tills respect. Although Americana liave never got thf> habit of eating lamb to'a large extent, it    is    highly
0 Epstihle. nutritious and very pala:. t.ible.
Eating more lamb increases the criuiilr''s wool nrodiiction and thus <' ¦ <\-~ to tnake cheaper clothes. The .V n'onal Wool Grower's .Association ¦ I   nts out  11km  most of onr wool clip
1 i.e- f-oni iirei'iliiig ewes, an'l that r' ¦ LToaler the ileniand for !aml) the I.el'..- wil!  he file incentive to keep

It is said that "less M'lin half a' million .hepp nro slauijh- tereil on tho fiOn.OOO .American farms ;ind ranches producing sheep, while a P-'llion calves, one and a half mil¬ lion beef cattle and 15 million hogs nri> country killed." This condition is due to lack of appreciation ot the desirable qualities of lamb and mut¬ ton, which in turn ia largely due to wrong methods of preparation. If the "fell." or thin papery mem'brane which surrounds the carcass. Is not !--moved when preparing for the t»'- ble. the meat may have an wndeair- talnt, especially in older a"l- m^als.
