not tak:pg any chances Of allowing
Thursday nights meeting to become a
frost. Every method known to attract

though the opposition u the Mayors

vertisement in the Fagan organ an
nounces that the purpose of the meeting

''The natives Of the North woods have more

that there are so many ways of cooking fish.
The universal favorite, however, seems to be
the clay method.
used when the cook can secure some good, firm :ra
clay. The fish is wrapped in the clay without

cleaning knife. He is not dressed, and the
only seasoning is a pinch Of salt, placed in the

the package is placed ed, in the enbers OF the

is then broken off The delicate favor Of a
fish cooked in this way cannot be described.
Some of the cooks have habit of cutting a
