MAKING LIVER TASTY
PROPERLY COOKED, MEAT IS De-
Llclous, AND CHEAP.
How to Prepare II With Its Traditions
al Accompaniment, Bacon-Ex-
celIent When 5aked-Two
Kinds Of Gravy.

Liver is savory and it is not heavy
two points most decidedly in it's favor
% this season.
There are many ways of cooking
liver and for that reason 1t might very
well make its appearance on our tables
more often than it does simply fried
and served with bacon.
Moreover, there are two good kinds
OF liver: Calls liver and lambs liver.
And the lambs liver. although much
cheaper than the other kind, is de.
licious when properly cooked. So,
when the price of calf's liver is pro-
hibitive or when it is not to be had
even for a price, try lambs liver for
change.
To begin with. the best way to cook
liver and bacon is to wipe of the
slices of liver with a damp cloth and
then to drop them, with two slices of
lean bacon to every one of liver, into
smoking hot fat in a deep kettle. Let
them brown like crullers, remove
them for a moment to a piece of
brown paper then put them on hot
platter Oliver and bacon together),
sprinkle with salt and pepper and
serve, II a gravy is desired, spread
a little melted butter sauce, well sea-
soned, with the liver
Another way of preparing liver is to
brown slices of it in a skillet and. as
soon as they are Drowned on both
sides, to remove them to a baking pan.
dredging each slice with flour and
sprinkling with salt and pepper. Cover
the pan and bake for three-quarters OF
an hour.
TO prepare liver with cream gravy,
thick drop for a second into boiling
water and slash the edges of each
slice a few times to keep them from
curling Then brown in hot fat in
skillet Remove the slices of liver to
a saucepan and cook till yellow a
sliced onion in the fat and then add
It to the liver with enough cream to
cover Simmer for ten minutes, COW
cred. and then serve, seasoned with
pepper and salt
Another way to cook liver with
bacon is to soak the slices for 20 min
utes. then to dry them and roll them
in flour. and then to brown them in
the fat in which slices of bacon have
been cooked crisp. Then pour off most
of the fat, add hot water and flour to
the rest and pour over the liver for
gravy.
Baked liver Is good. To prepare 1t
have a pound and a half of liver in
one piece Wipe II with a damp cloth
and trim it neatly and then put In
some strips OF salt pork with a Harding
needle across the top Bake in n hot
oven for half an hour. basting often
and serve with a brown gravy made in
| the baking pan.
Sun another method is to add lit
| tie lemon juice to the liver gravy.
This gives It piquant favor that is
decidedly tempting. The lemon Is
added TO the fat, after most of 1t is
poured away, and then -four and but
ter rolled together are added. and then
enough water to make gravy of the
right consistency.

Fish au NlnaIure.

Boil shad. mackerel or white fish in
sailed water When cooked. put on
dish, pour over 1t two cupfuls Of vine
gar while the fish is hot When it Is
cold pour the vinegar into a bowl. add
to It two teaspoonfuls Of tomato
catchup. two tabIespoonfuls Worces-
tershIre sauce. and salt and pepper to
taste. Pour all Of this upon the fish.
When ready TO serve. chop fine two
hard-cooked eggs, one small onion, two
tablespoonfuls each Of parsley and
celery one boiled beet. and spread this
mixture over the fish
