000000000 pounds when the earliest british settlers came to this side of the vorld they brought with them the national love of beef and it seems natural that this meat constitutes a very important item of food for canadians they eat nearly co pounds of beef per person annually or a total of about 500000- 000 pounds the raising of beef cattle in can ada from the pioneer settlement days has been a notaby important dustry the best of the stock for many years however was exported and the fact was that the beef offer ed on the domestic market was not usually of a notably high grade by 1926 various interests repress ing producing marketing and con sumers organizations arrived at the conclusion that both the producer and consumer would be helped by some method of assuring the con sumer of the quality for which he paid the result of this meeting was the recommendation to adopt a system of beef grading so that the consumer could easily recognize and identify quality beef now gradad graded or branded beef was intro duced on the market by the livestock i branch of the dominion department the demand for food so i say again let us not dream of talking at the present time of overproduction of ood and that the farmers of the world have come to the limit of what they can be call ed upon to supply the demand for food if people can be enabled to get the kind of food that they would like to eat has practically only been scratched it is almost infinite from our present point of view therefore i may be bold and prophesy not with the slightest hope of seeing the pro phecy

principal points to be considered in selecting beef first the size and kind of cut de sired the kind of cut naturally de pends upon whether it is wanted as a roast steak or boiling piece the second point is to be sure of freedom from disease graded or i branded hreef is slaughtered in plants that are under government inspection the third point is quality here again the red and blue brands as

course for although i must admit we like to put on pretty things it is the effect our clothes have upon us men tally which makes us change them frequently a housewife who must of neces sity do her own

that her overall is smart and workman like her hands protected by gloves her shoes neat and a cute little dustingcap over her permanent wave she feels happy mentally and therefore at ease however neat
