LET FISH SAVE THE MEAT BILL

It is an often mentioned fact that
much fish is cheaper then most meat.
and that housewives in every locality
II they made more liberal use of local
fish in season. Because the sort Of
fish available at a reasonable price
varies in different localities. 1t is i'm
possible to give statistics concerning
the possible saving. but each house
keeper can work these out to her own
satisfaction.
Here are some interesting fsh
recipes that can be made to utilize
various sorts of fish.
Fish puddings are good for utilizing
almost any frm-feshed hsh. prefer
ably Of the white type. To make
one, follow this recipe:
Mash a pound Of boiled fish until IL
is fine. and then rub 1t through a
coarse wire sieve. Make a smooth
white sauce of half a cupful Of rich
milk. half a tablespoonful of -four and
tablespoonful and a half Of butter.
onion juice. Add two well-beaten
eggs when the sauce is taken from
the fire, stir in well. and add the fish.
Put in a buttered mould or bowl and
place the mould or bowl in a pan con-
tanning water that reaches we'll up on
the mould. Bake for half an hour in
a slow oven that keeps the water just
below the boiling point Turn out.
and sprinkle with minced parsley.
Serve with caper sauce.
Another good sauce to serve with
this pudding or with any boiled fish is
made by adding two beaten egg yolks
and the juice of quarter of a lemon
to two cupfuls of cream sauce.
When making fish croquettes from
any sort of boiled fish add a third
the bulk of the fish in mashed pota-
toes
A fish pie is a delicacy that any ono
may have for the making. Bake a pie
crust until just done in deep earthen
dish. Then fill with chopped boiled
fish and the contents of q can of
shrimps. little white sauce, and
some lemon juice or grated lemon
peel Cover with top crust and bake
for fifteen or twenty minutes, until
the top crust is done.
Fish salad. too, can be made Of any
sort of leftover fish. broiled or boiled.
Flake the fish, removing skin and
bones. apd let 1t stand in French
dressing on the ice for half an hour.
Then sprinkle 1t lightly over lettuce
leaves. and add minced green and red
sweet peppers or finely minced celery

"DRESS UP-IT WON'T RAIN"

"Be confident, express your opti-
mism in your dress"
There's 4 tonic in new clothes"
Dress up-it won't rain"
These are the catch phrases of the
crusade that merchants in every part
of the country are presently going to
start. Their object, of course, is to
increase their sales. But, like the
recent selling campaign of the paint
dealers who used the slogan Bright
en- up" the idea is one that brings
even greater returns to the one who
needs it than to the one who started
it for his own benefit.
Show your gratitude toward your
country, your thankfulness that we
too are not engaged in deadly war,
by being optimistic; and show that
optimism by looking your best. This
will mean prosperity for the mer-
chants, it will mean more work and
better wages fo- the girls and men
who work for these merchants, it will
mean fewer foreclosures and cases
of bankruptcy. 1t will mean fewer
bank disasters, and greater confidence
generally 1t will mean that the mills
and factories will be kept busy, and
that will mean that property will in
crease in value, that grocers will sell
e IL
be less sickness-it will mean in short
just what prosperity always means.
The old idea of fostering economy
was to hoard. In the Balkan states
when trouble first broke out a year
or so ago men and women took their
gold and buried it in their back gar
dens. In time of impending financial
panic there are always some unthink
ing persons who draw their money
from the bank to put it in the pro-
verbal "old stocking" for safe keep
ing. But these are methods of the
stone age. The real way to work for
prosperity is to be optimistic, to
spend-not to excess, but as much as
your means will allow.
"The purest, noblest woman that |
ever lived-my wife" No one who |
read these words. spoken by the un-
fortunate former police lieutenant
who went to his death at Ossining, |
N. Y, last week, could help but feel
the deepest admiration for the plucky
little woman who had fought so
bravely for her husbands life. By
this time she has passed out of the
spotlight of publicity. Her little
part in the drama OF current events
is over, but her real fight has just
begun-the fight against the reaction
that is bound to come now that she
knows that all her struggle was in
vain.
Sometimes we hear it said that
women, being mems interiors, are in
capable of the truest kind of loyalty
and that they do not possess so high
an order OF moral courage as men.
And then we turn to characters like
the wife of the one-time police lieu
tenant, or the mother of Harry Thaw
and wonder how such statements
can be made For what this wife has
done for her husband it is in the
heart of thousands of women in the
country to do should the occasion
arise, and the faithful white-haired
mother of Harry Thaw is but a tyre
of the fortitude and courage that
every true mother has it in her to
spend for her children.
