Can Fish at the Seashore

Can sea food at the %seashore," ia
the advice of Franz p. Lund, specialist
IN. canning and drying, of the United
states Department of Agriculture.
Last year women took home with
them hundreds of can of. sea food
which they had canine by means of
the steam-pressure method" said Mr..
Lund. This year it Is more necessary
than ever that while the women are
at the seashore they make vacation a
time not wasted. Many hours which
might be idle can be devoted to canning
fish.
Il am going down into Florida to
demonstrate that fish which were
thought worthless a few years ago can
be utilized. With the cooperation Of
the Bureau of Fisheries we have proved
that fish that were supposed to be
worthless as food can be prepared in a
most palatable manner. For instance
shark. 'tarpon. and smaller varieties of
whales, such as the porpoise, are good
food when prepared right.

WHEN at length Mrs. Blake discov-
w cred the special item on her
shopping list which she was looking
for, progress was further impeded by
Mr.. M%illinEer. who stopped her in the
front part Of the store, congratulated
her upon looking so well after her
western trip, patted Barbara's shoulder
and expressed the hope that this long

para proceeded to the counter behind
eyes flushed cheeks and trembling
hands.
Miss North the clerk who stood near
me. had waited on them many times
before and now stepped forward smil-
ingly and asked: p you suppose we
have anything in stock that is good
enough for. folks who have just returned
from the Yellowstone?'
Then followed a c%olloquy. IN the course
of which Miss North agreed with Mrs
Blake that, after all. there was no place
like home and that the best part OF
going away was Getting back again.
Finally. these preliminaries being dis
posed of in a manner that would have
reflected credit on the Orient. business
came into it's own: Mrs. Blake con-
fessed that her desk was bare OF every
thing 1t ought to hold, and Miss NORTH
brought out from the show cases the
latest thing in inkwells, paper weights
etc.
Also. she displayed samples OF paper
and envelopes. Slowly turning the pages
Of the book OF stationery samples, which
contained many old favorites. the clerk
called her customers attention to "A new
make Of writing paper. which the nrm
had introduced since the Blakes went
away.
IF you once give this a trial,

be pleased" But Mrs. Blake, with the
deliberation Of your true conservative
demprred.
while her foster mother was engaged
in making purchases Barbara wandered
to an alcove a few steps away. where
TOYS and games were kept. As I had
no customer, I moved gradually in Bar

a glance at her by and by. after assur-
ing myself that Mrs. Blake had her back
turned and that there was nobody, else
on the premises (Which were almost
empty anyway, 1t was so near closing
