Harry Clotworthy, who is an expert
on military affairs, entered the
diningroom of the National Press
club one morning and carried with
him ravenous appetite. Having
eaten one breakfast, which consisted
largely of eggs, he ordered an
other breakfast. which consisted
even more largely of eggs, After his
repast he went to the writing room
to get off some letters. Half an hour
later the steward of the club found
the colored waiter loating about the
entrance of the writing-room and
asked him what he meant by being
absent from his post.
Il got a good excuse" exclaimed
the waiter, exhibiting the check for
the egg breakfast. "Mr. Clotworthy

VARIOUS SAUCES FOR FISH
Different Mixtures Are Required for
the Differen. Species That May
Be Served.

A hostess home from Spain brought
with her fish sauce which is- popular
with the Spaniards. It's foundation Is
thick French dressing made OF one
tablespoon of vinegar to eight OF oil.
1t is seasoned with half teaspoonful
of salt, half teaspoonful of mustard
and paprika enough to color
Into this dressing is mixed the finely
chopped whites and yolks-each sep
arately-of three hard-boiled eggs. a
dozen chopped olives and half a doz-
en- chopped sweet red peppers.
Mayonneise served in small silver
or china sauce boat is often passed
with fried smelts, halibut, scallops and
cells. This may have half dozen sweet
pickles chopped In 1t or tablespC on
full of capers.
Some hostesses serve extra drawn
broiled mackcrel or bluefish. This
should be highly seasoned with pepper
and may be colored with paprika. or
should be nicely Drowned.
A nice sauce for she'll fish Is made
by using the broth that comes from
steaming or little Of the clam broth
that is Jared. Fry six small onions
in butter. but do not color a deep
brown, thicken with tablespoonful OF
-four; then reduce to a creamy gray
with the broth. Season well with cay
enne and little salt. Just before
serving stir in the yolk of IN egg, a
sherry glass of white wine, the same
amount Of cream and some chopped
chives or capers.

Pure From Start to Finish.

There is perhaps nothing in daily use
IN the home in which purity is so i'm
portant as IT is In baking powder. on
Its purity depends the purity of the ma
terials used, the success Of tn" bakings,
etc. And possibly the one thing that
has served to make Calumet Baking
Powder so much of favorite with the
critical cooks OF the country, is the fact
that Calumet is pure from start to finish.
You can rely on Calumets purity for
the simple reason that every ounce of
the materials used is first tested by ex-
perlenced chemists and then mixed with
the utmost care to insure its uniformity.
And standing In the can or changes of
weather, etc, cannot alter 1t In any re-
spect
But perhaps the best thing of all. is
the fact that Calumet never fails. Every
baking in which Calumet is used, is sure
to come from the oven as light and as
fuffy as you can wish, This not only
means wholesome, tasty foods-but "A
big economy as well. Try Calumet next

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building, for the readers OF this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to william A. Radford, No. 17s West
jackson boulevard. Chicago, ILL.,. and only
enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
This is one of the best low-cost
houses ever built. 1t is medium in
size as well as in costa sort of COM
promise between the large house,
large rooms, and high ceilings of
twenty or thirty years ago and the
little. narrow, contracted, close-com-

order to save expense because of the
high price of all building materials.
The size on the ground is 26& feet
in width by 444 feet long, which is
six or eight feet longer than most new
city houses that are built on this gen.
eral plan.
There are fashions in houses the
fashions are all right. but some are
nothing but silly fads. One of these
late fashions is the diningroom ex
tension, which is built something after
the fashion of bay window, but is
very much wider and has square cor
ners. Sometimes these extensions
have windows in the ends, but in
such cases they have the appearance
of being overdone. Such an addition
to dining room is intended to let in
an abundance of light. as well as to
add to the appearance Of the room,
and is one Of the most commendable
new building features.
In some of these extensions the win
dows are placed high up; but there
is an advantage in the deep window,
space for a window seat. When the
windows come low down, a wide seat
may be built just a little below the
window stools, which, If carefully up
holstered, makes very pleasant
lounging place both in winter and in
summer. These extensions must be
very carefully built and thoroughly
papered. and the paper must be very
carefully put on so as not to leave any
cracks for the wind to blow through.
