By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

When the housewife explains the absence
Of fish from her daily menus by saying "My
family does not care for fish," nine times out
of ten the inference may be derived that she
does not know how to cook and serve it
properly, for fish, perhaps more than any
other food, needs most careful preparation
for the table.
In the menus for the coming week, with
limited household budget Of only $12, the
less expensive varieties of fish have been
used, the methods Of cooking and the occa-
sional of good sauce making them as
appetizing as they are wholesome.
Cod haddock, founder and can of salmon
used as the basis Of these dishes, with the
inexpensive whiting and pint Of oysters as
additional breakfast and luncheon Dishes
Baked haddock in milk (served for Mon
days dinner) is particularly good, and both
cod and founder are never better than when
fried in little pork fat, which seems to
supply savory flavor that otherwise is
lacking. Care, however, must be exercised
when frying fish in deep, hot fat, as the
thicker the fish the more slowly it must be
cooked CATER the first minute two to scar
it over), or it will be raw inside when the
outside is Drowned
1t will also be noticed that the menus are
being simplifed the luncheon dessert being
omitted and those for dinner consisting
largely of fruit. This is done not only as a
New-York tribune., 1918-03-17

matter Of economy, but because with the COM
ing of spring lighter diet is advisable
The butchers bill has been cut to mini
mum, and only three "meat meals" are
planned for the week, the roast mutton fur
nishing Thursdays and Saturdays dinners
(use the bone with the corn soup) and the
steak and kidney pie for Sunday.
Purchases for the week will include at
the butchers. four pounds Of the fore quar-
ter Of mutton, at 80 cents a pound; total
meat bill Of $1.20.
At the fish market two pounds Of haddock
at Is cents pound; one pound and a quar-
ter Of cod steak (for the mock scallops), at
Is cents a pound; one 1o-cent package of
salt cod at 10 cents; two pints Of stewing
oysters, at 80 cents; two pounds of founder.
at Is cents pound; one pound and half of
frozen whiting, at 15 cents pound, can
of salmon, for 22 cents and one pound of
halibut at 35 cents.
One pound of butter, for table use only. at
55 cents a pound; half pound of oleo, at
16 cents; seven quarts of milk (bulk) at II
cents a quart, and twenty fresh eggs, at 63
cents q dozen, will be required to follow the
menus exactly The food budget should be
about as follows, though with war time and

A Noiseless Maid on Wheels

In these days of scarce servants and apart
ment living, reducing the trips from dining
room to kitchen and back again to two for each
meal means q wonderful saving. A woman
who did not use either her head or serving
wagon to save her heels might we'll take steps
enough in the course of year to carry her
around the world, as she went back and forth
between the pantry, the kitchen and the din
ing room.
The Fulton Service Wagon has been de-
signed specifically to cut out all unnecessary
traffic in serving. 1t has a brown enamelled
metal frame mounted on four rubber-tired
wheels
This framework carries two three-ply
wooden veneer trays, and you may have them
finished in mahogany or fumed or golden oak.
so that the maid" will harmonic with the
dining room. The trays are smooth, easily
cleaned, and have a raised edge to insure that
the maid" will not drop any of her fragile
burdens.
The entire meal may be carried to the din
ing in one tri ip. The dishes when used
may be replaced on the trays after each
course and so, unless there is hot dessert
entree that could not stand for few
minutes, there need be no getting up and
down from the table at all, which is a great
boon to the woman who is doing her own
work for short a long period. The cart
also is invaluable to assist in serving tea
on the porch in the living ROOM
The wagon, though simple, is substantially
constructed, and responds quickly and easily
to the least guiding motion.
And when dinner or tea is over there is no
question Of sitting room for this noiseless
maid" or no worry about where she will see
her company She never answers back and
she never leaves unexpectedly You can fold
her up in the smallest possible space and put
her in any convenient corner, where she will
wait patiently until it is time to serve again.
Even if you have a servant the cart will
save her steps we'll as yours and be equal
to second servant in the house.
