FRESH FISH is PLENTIFUL
ON THE CITY MARKET STANDS

Fresh fish is rapidly taking the
DIace of the frozen variety at the
Centre Market stands. This week
there is an abundance Of fresh mack
erel, weakfish, striped bass and hall
but for sale. For many weeks con-
sumers wishing any of these fish had
10 take the frozen kind or none. The
warm spell Of last week is responsible
for the fresh fish and lower prices.
Green, or fresh weakf1sh was placed
on sale yesterday for the first time
this season. Fresh mackerel and
striped bass also made their initial
appearance this week. The maclSerel
IA brought from Boston and costs IS
cents a pound. WealSfish and striped
bass are caught in Southern waters.
Eighteen cents pound is the retail
price quoted for each.
Shad continues to sell at low prices,
considering the figures asked earlier
in the season Smelts have disap-
peared. Not even the frozen variety
can be purchased this week. Dealers
saw the diminutive fish always makes
its exit with the approach of warm
weather.
The list of fish on sale this week
and the prices are as follows:

Adrienne s. Day.

forming this rite, with the exception
of the year that l had the mumps,
and though I do not "bathe in dew"
these later years, wouldn't miss
the early rising these mornings for
kingdom.
This morning l was up at $40 and
1t was so warm that ] decided-for
the first time this spring-to leave
off my coat and wear the crepe de
chine frock which Mrs. Mathon and
made for just such occasions.
This frock wasn't planned-it just
happened-and for this very reason I
believe I'm going to like it better
than any of my other one-piece
dresses.
1t is made from the crepe de chine
lining of mothers evening wrap-the
one made of white brocaded velvet
and when she ripped it apart she gave
me the lining to use for making
foundations for blouses. 1t was very
much soiled, so l sent it to the
cleaners and when it came home 1t
was streaked with yellow. Then I
ordered it dyed dark blue and when
I saw how successfully 1t took the
color I had vision Of a trotting
frock.
Fortunately the lining was original
tered the shape trife, made q seam
up the centre back and gathered 1t
about the top. This made skirt
which fiared and rippled about the
hem in the most fascinating manner.
Crepe de chine hasn't much body"
to it, so 1 suggested that we run
cord about the hem so that the skirt
would not hang so "slimpsy" about
the ankles. We had already made
the hem, but we cut a little hole in
the silk at the back, and using
bodkin threaded the cord along the
edge. Then Mrs. Mathon ran a line
of fine hand-stitches just above the
cord-so that 1t couldn't slip out of
position-and when I tried on the
skirt again it fell in deep folds just
as had hoped that it would.
The bodice wasn't such an easy
matter to make, for we only had
few scraps of material-pieces which
had lined the sleeves of mothers
wrap and strip which we had cut
from the top of the lining, when we
made the skirt.
Mrs. Mathon is wonder, though,
and she took the narrowest strips of
material and formed short-waisted
skeleton bodice, piped about the edges
with fold of the silk.
To hll-ln the open space across the
back and about the armholes she used
pieces of the crepe de chine softly
gathered at the lower edges. This
produced an effect like a bolero
jacket. and, as it required a touch of
trimming, I used blue silk soutache
braid to form a simple border design.
There wasn't any more material left
| for the sleeves, SO we made them of
| chiffon, mousquetaire fashion.
| Mrs. Mathon makes the loveliest
| buttonholes, so coaxed her to use
small blue bullet-buttons and button
holes to fasten the bodice down the
front. 1 added a border Of soutache
| braiding about the collar and l had
q frock which looks as If it had come
from one of the exclusive little shops
on the avenue.
think If the May Queen" had had
frock like this one she would have
risen early for the pleasure Of wear
ing it to the festival.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO BUY GOOD MILK AND EQUALLY I'M

of sterilization will insure indefinite
keeping, she will know with what she
is dealing, and may be able to act in
telligently.
All flies, those horrible carriers of
disease, should be kept away from
milk and the vessels in which 1t is
stored. And milk should never be left
exposed in the kitchen or pantry dur
ing sweeping, because the moulds and
bacteria in the dust will settle on it.
Neither should it be placed uncov-
cred by an open window.
Milk received in good condition is
not infrequently rendered unfit for
food by careless handling in the home.
Rapid cooling and refrigeration are
fully as important as cleanliness in
the production of safe milk. Half an
hour in a hot kitchen or in the SUN
will hasten the time of souring, be-
cause the growth of all organisms is
Quickened by mild heat. At once, as
soon as the milk reaches you, set it
aside in the coolest place at your COM
mand.

a separate compartment for these
products. Sometimes IN very hot
weather housekeepers complain that
in spite of all precautions the milk
sours quickly, even in the icebox. This
is often due to the fact that the air of
the iceboX. although it seems cold in
contrast with the heat outside, is not
really cold enough to check the
growth of the bacteria. The tempera-
ture should be kept at least as low
as so degrees Fahrenheit, and should
be tested with a thermometer during
excessive summer Heat.
Receptacles in which milk Is to be
placed should be freshly scalded to
remove any bacteria or mould spores.
It has been proved that seamless
pans are best, as they provide no
rough surface to which stale milk
may cling. New milk must never be
mixed with old unless it is to be
used at once, as the bacteria in the
old milk will. of course, be added also

Pneumonia in the Spring

Pneumonia is more easily contract
ed in springtime with its sudden
changes than at any other time OF
the year. Pneumonia is also par
ticularly q disease of city life
and crowded living. With our pres
ent knowledge of the prospects are
hopeful for the control of pneumonia
in the future through prevention.
This is of special Importance to the
individual.
The avoidance of pneumonia is
largely a question of personal pre-
cautions that prevent the develop
ment of the disease by lessening the
predisposition of it. Men in middle
life. particularly those about nifty,
must learn during unsettled weather
to avoid crowds, especially when
fatigued and when they nave peen
for a number of hours without eat
ing. saws the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Late at night, when for any rea-
son a meal has been missed, crowds
are dangerous. If this lesson could
be generally learned there would be
less pneumonia among the well-to-do
classes.
The principal danger comes in
crowded street cars, which, If pos
sible. should be avoided at rush
hours. 1t needs to be emphasized
that the danger from overcrowding
is greatly enhanced by fatigue and
going without food, In a word, pre-
vention of pneumonia is now much
clearer than 1t was. m
Like all the other infectious dis
eases, instead of being more or less
Inevitable dispensation, 1t has come
to be recognized as due to certain
definite factors which can be greatly
lessened by public and individual hy-
gienic regulations

THE MAGIC STICK.

Il don't know how TO reward
you. I suppose this stick is about
the best thing for one of you earth
people. We trolls have no use for
such things" As he spoke he took
up a long stick which had been
lying on "a table near the entrance.
1t was coal black, shone brightly in
the dim light and was about two
feet long.
This stick has belonged to US
for hundreds of years" continued
the troll. But we have been taught
when we receive a kindness that we
must lend it out for a while, as 1t
will bring the owner good luck.
Its peculiarity is that 1t Will
turn all 1t touches into gold for a
good person, while II a bad one
takes hold of 1t it will punish him
queer and dangerous thing"
So Gretchen took the stick in her
hand and ran home through the
rain. The first thing she did was to
place a stone on the table, then
turned at once into a lump of gilt
tering, shining gold.
It happened that as Gretchen
had come for the rent, was peeping
in at the window. He saw her
turn the rocks into gold and at
once determined to possess the
prize and seized the stick. He ex-
pected to run off with It and turn
everything into gold. so that by
morning he would be worth mil
lions and trillions Of dollars, but he
did not understand the magic of
the rod at all.
For no sooner had he taken it in
his hand than 1t jumped out and
began to beat him. Whack! whack!
whack! It went over his head and
shoulders, till he was black and
blue from bruises, but still 1t kept
up. The man ran out of the house,
bowling with pain, but the stick
pursued him, beating him at every
step. On he fed, the stick after
him, but when he got in front OF
the trolls rocky home the stick
suddenly darted back into the hole,
and the man hobbled on home, so
beaten up that he had to remain
in bed for a month.
But in the little cottage in which
Gretchen lived there was great
happiness. For the huge lump of
gold was great riches and the girl
sold 1t for enough to move far away
from the unkind landlord, away to
a beautiful, new home with gardens
and plenty of room for her mother
to stroll around in the fields, while
the girl worked over her poultry
and flowers (c) 1915.

UndesirabIes in Woodwork
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom.
VIII you kindly tell me how to
get rid of bed bugs which are in the
walls and woodwork? Please let me
know as soon as possible. and oblige.
CONSTANT READER.
Here are some remedies:
Naphtha is effective in many
cases. Spray into cracks in the
walls and woodwork and all places
where bed bugs are. A spring bot
tom oil can should be used and all
Of the places saturated thoroughly
Also wet the lodges over the doors
and windows. the top of picture
molding and every crack in the
bed. which should previously have
been taken apart; the mattress, pill
lows, etc.
There should be no fire or light
in the room, as the naphtha is very
fn1ammable, and the windows
should be kept open for several
hours afterward to permit all of
the gas to escape.
The following preparations are
said to be excellent. The bottle
DAtpAiN DC pidAlllF marked POISON.
Mix together in a large bottle half
an ounce of corrosive sublimate,
half an ounce of powdered cam
phor. half pint of wood alcohol
and half pint of turpentine. Ap-
ply this to all spots, cracks,
grooves, etc.
OIL Of cedar is also good. Dip a
feather or small brush in the oil
and apply freely. Then shut up the
room for several days.
Fumigating with sulphur is effec-
tive. The furniture should be taken
out of the room, the windows and
doors closed, and about an ounce of
powdered sulphur on a pan of hot
Goals placed in the middle of the
floor.
After the sulphur has burned out
paint all the cracks with a strong
solution Of corrosive sublimate and
wood alcohol and treat the furni-
ture to the same before replacing it.
Brass must be creased or other
wise protected, as the sulphur fumes
will blacken Il.

Yes, mother, 1 am coming" and
the girl, who was busy washing the
dishes, came running to the bed
side.
IT am cold" said the mother.
Can you put bit more wood on

Gretchen placed a few sticks on
the blaze, then finished her work in
the kitchen. Poor Gretchen went
about her task In a sad way, for
her widowed mother was i'll, the
rent was due and the landlord had
threatened to put them out of the
house into the rain.
Presently the mother went to
sleep, SO Gretchen took a pail and
started out in the cold rain to the
spring for water. AS she bent over
the pool she heard a queer sound
and glanced around. There on a
rock was a very strange creature
dancing about in a frantic fashion
and waving its hands as If in great
distress. It was about a foot high
and dressed in a shimmering green.
which shaded off into q deep brown,
and the gown was all cut in one
piece, like a clowns suit. The
funny little man seemed In such
pain that Gretchen stopped and
asked what was the trouble.
Trouble? Why lots of it," wept
the tiny creature. You know we
are trolls and live in the big rocks
under the hill. 1 am the nurse to
the kings baby and something
awful has happened, SO l ran

what was it9" asked Gretchen,
kindly.
well, when the baby was asleep
In the cradle man passed ABOVE
our rock chamber and a link from
an iron chain he carried fell inside.
"I don't see how that was any
HARM" laughed Gretchen.
"Of course you don't, retorteo
the troll, in anger. you mortals
are too stupid to see anything.
Don't YOU know that no fairy or
troll can touch iron, and there Is
a big iron ring lying right now in
the baby's crib. If he wakes and
touches it he will die. 1 am afraid
to go near it, and the king Is away
with the rest of my people"
"If that is ALL" replied the girl,
kindly. 'I will go get the ring"
So she followed the little man IN
side of strange place which seem
ed a big hole lighted by cracks IN
the roof. On bed lay tiny papy
troll and just at its side ring,
part of an iron chain. The girl put
the ring in her pocket and the
nurse troll danced with delight.

Bad Breath

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly tell me how TO get rid Of
a bad breath. It does not come from
my stomach because it is in good
condition. Thanking you.
JAMES r.
If it does not come from your
stomach it is caused by your teeth,
and I would advise you to consult
dentist. Charcoal tablets, held in
the mouth, will sweeten the breath
temporarily. So will soda mint
tablets. RinsinG the mouth with
bicarbonate of soda solution helps.
Nibbling on orris root also brings
temporary relief. The thing to do,
however. is to call upon your dentist.
