ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out7

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease'-nervous prostratiOn.
The following letter shows the way
out OF the trouble:
Five years ago / was a great cof-
fee drinker and from it's use ! be-

But being so welded to the bev-

without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
On a visit, my friends deprived ms
of coffee to prove that it was harm
full. At the end Of about eight days
was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so ! went back
to the old habit as soon as / got home

Children Not Naturally Destructive


BE gentle With the child who
smashes his toys The fault is not
his but yours. who provided him with
toys too complicated for his immature
little mind to understand. Dottoressa
Maria Montessori, in her lecture at
Carnegie hail, said little children were
not naturally destructive. as most par
ents had reason TO suppose, but that
the instinct to pull the object 10
pieces was the only natural thing for
a child TO do with something it did
not understand Most toys given TO
children are too complicated, Doctor
MontessOri asserted.
Instead of expecting children to
amuse themselves with toys they do
not understand. wCthers should as
sumo more responsibility for their
children's entert. inment," she contin-
ued. The mother who drives her
child away from her side when she is
working makes a pitiful mistake. H.

upon the child's mind IL he We're

There seems to be prejudice
against fish-that is, served frequently,
and this, too, without apparent reason.
II is usually relished once week Why
not oftener? Some housekeepers claim
they buy fish on Friday only because
they feel sure of getting it fresh then,
but if they would create a daily de
mand for it the fish would be sold to
them fresh every day, Not that daily
diet of fish is to be recommended, but

quently served in the same way the
family is sure to tire of it, but with
such variety to choose from and so
many different ways of cooking, there
should be no such monotony The
smoked kinds of fish could take the
place of eggs for breakfast, Ffnnan
haddie is delicious either broiled or
steamed in milk, and fish weighing
about two pounds can be bought in the
market for a quarter
Every woman knows the POSSIBLE
ties of dried Goldfish as a breakfast
dish, but dinner dish OF this fish is
not as well known as it should be.
You take a thick piece weighing
from one to two pounds and soak one
day and one night in cold water; then
put on in cold water and simmer for
two to three hours. 1t must not boil
Next you fry two good sized onions in
butter until light brown. Add a can
of strained tomatoes and cook for ten
minutes. Take the fish from the wa
ter and put in with the tomatoes.
Place at the back of the stove for half
an hour; then serve.
Fish dishes suitable for luncheon are
curried scalloped and creamed, Cold,
leftover fish, also oysters, are cooked
in various ways, clam bouillon, and
salmon loaf A fish curry is delicious.
You fry one tablespoonful of chopped
onion in one tablespoonful of butter
and add one small teasponful of curry
powder. You pour over this a stock
made from fishbones. about one cup
and a half of milk or cream. Then
you rub together a Tablespoonful each
of -four and butter and stir into the
hot mixture. When smooth you add
to it about one pound of any cold,
faxed fish Gently simmer for few
minutes; then serve.
Young cooks must bear in mind the
success of a fish dish depends quite a
good deal upon the way it is served.
