tumblerful Of water. Where fish Is eaten
every day, or two or three times a week,
this liquor can be used over and over
again; it is merely question Of getting
into the habit OF having a tish-stock pot

the business OF the housewife to exact
that this should be done as a matter OF

as an extra and "faddy" piece of work.
For all saltwater fish the preparation
differs slightly from the above. 1t Is

There is more than one reason why we
should abstain from meat in Lent. The
churches which observe Lent only demand
abstinence from meat on two days of the
week; and even a semi-invalid would be
