HOW TO USE FISH IN THE
LENTEN SEASON
= ,
BY Biddy Bye.
Fish contains valuable nutrients
and is usually an economical food.
It is, however, deficient in materials
which yield heat and muscular
power.
In making out a menu with hsh as
the important dish, the housewife is
accustomed to add potatoes, rice or
bread; and usually provides a sauce
for the fish made with eggs; or uses
hard boiled eggs to garnish the dish.
To fry fish use plenty Of olive oil
or pork drippings. Fry small fish in
a frying basket, large fish in plenty
of fat in a spider.
To boil fish wrap firmly in piece
Of .cheesecloth, plunge into hard boil
ing water, then simmer until the fish
is faky.
To broil fish rub with olive oil, but
ter, or dripping, season with pepper
and salt; broil the skin side first, turn
once, broil the flesh side, adding
more fat to make fish brown well.
Goldfish aU Gratin.
Soak 2 pounds Goldfish and break
into flakes. Thicker 2 cups milk
with 2 tablespoons butter rubbed into
2 tablespoons flour. Put a layer of
Goldfish in a we'll buttered baking
dish, add a layer of the white sauce

minutes. Serve with baked potatoes.
Salmon Pie.
Remove the skin and large bones
from the contents of one can of sal
mon. Into a well buttered baking
dish put a layer of faxed salmon andN'

potatoes; season with salt, pepper,
and a few drops of onion juice, or a
little chopped parsley. Add all of
the materials in alternate layers,
with a top of we'll buttered bread
crumbs. Pour on p cup Of cream or
milk and bake 20 minutes in a mod
crate oven.
Fish Ramekins.
Use any cold cooked fish. Heat 1
quart milk and thicken with 2 table
spoons butter rubbed into 8 table
spoons flour, stir 2 beaten eggs into

Committee Appointed
To Work Out Scheme
For Planking R. R. Bridge

To work out the details of planking
the Southern Pacific railway bridge, a
committee composed of c. A. Park, Fred
Steusloff, F. G. Deckebach and L. II.
McMahon was appointed by the direct
ors of the Commercial club to confer
with the county court If the higher
Southern Pacific officials accept the re-
of those n conference
here today, planking of the railway
bridge will begin at once. To pay in
part for the planking, estimated to cost
$4,000, there will probably be toll
charged AS the railroads are not per-
mitted to collect toll, the matter will
probably be handled by the forming Of
a company, the tolls collected to be APP
piled on the cost of planking' Until
the new bridge is completed, the plank
ed bridge will be the only means by
which vehicles and pedestrians can cross
the river, and then all traffic must be
stopped as trains approach.
