three eupfuls of water; stir until
boiling, then add two cupfuls of
cranberry sauce, made less sweet
than usual; replace meat in pan with
this gravy sauce and proceed with
cooking in ordinary way, adding
salt and pepper to taste when cook
ing is about half finished.
Use this pudding with your pot
roast dinner, or if you consider it
too heavy, try the cranberry gelatin
or the cranberry snow pudding; all
three are delicious, and once tried
will mean they will be sure to be
permanently added to your winter
menus.
Cranberry Pudding.
Cream, one cuprul of sugar (white
corn syrup may be substituted sue
cessfully for sugar, in whole or in
part) with three teaspoonfuls of
butter. Add slowly one cupful of
sweet milk, two cupfuls of flour,
sift with two teaspoonfuls of cream
of tartar and one teaspoonful of
soda. Add one and one-half cup
fuls of cranberries and take one
half hour in a moderate oven. Serve
with any sauce.
Cranberry Gelatin
Soak two and one-half table
spoonfuls of gelatin in three table
spoonfuls of cold water. When
soft, add one-half cupful of boiling
water, one and one-half cupfuls of
cranberry juice, one-half cupful
sugar, one-half cupful corn syrup
and one tablespoonful lemon juice.
Strain and turn into a mould and
chill. Serve with whipped cream.
Whipped cream may be beaten into
the jelly as it begins to set.
Cranberry Snow Pudding
Use plain cranberry gelatin given
above. When it begins to stiffen
beat with Dover egg beater until
frothy. Add two or three stiffly
beaten egg whites and continue
beating until mixture holds its
shape. Turn into molds and chill.
Serve with custard sauce.
You will agree by this time that
to have plenty of cranberries on
hand means delicious desserts and
good pot roasts. Now is the time
to order cranberries for canning

shad) are best suited for baking,
broiling or planking. They con-
tain SO much oil distributed through
the flesh that requires a dry, intense
heat to make them palatable. Sal
mon is an exception to this rule,
being at its best when boiled.
An old saying, Small fish should
swim twice, once in water, once in
OIL" is a good proverb for the cook
to remember, because it is true OF
all tiny fish, such as smelts, trout,
perch, sunhsh, catfish and white
bait. Sometimes these small fish are
sauted, but they are not so good as
when they swim in OIL"
An oily fish, such as mackerel or
bluefsh, needs no enrichment of fat
before broiling; white flesh fish
does. If it is cut into stakes sat
urate it with oil or melt butter
(bacon grease is excellent) and a
good seasoning of pepper and salt
then put between the wires of the
broiler. Lay the thickest end in the
center of the broiler over the hot
test part of the fire, skin side up.
Let it get perfectly crisp and brown
on the flesh side before turning.
Broil the skin side carefully; it is
apt to burn. Set it in hot oven for
FIVE minutes to thoroughly finish
the cooking.
When baking halibut pour milk
over and around it before setting it
in the oven. 1t keeps the fish moist,
improves the flavor and browns it
more thoroughly. .....
The fish which plank to perfec-
ton are shad, whitehsh, mackerel,
bluefsh, snapper and pompano,
There are number of real advan-
tages to this method of cooking; it
is so easy it may be done in any
hot oven, and the wood imparts
flavor to the fish which can be OBJ
tanned in no other way. Then there
is no difficult task of sliding it from
broiler or bake pan to the platter,
because it is the correct thing to
send the plank straight to the table
laid on q folded towel. If you have
to prepare fish yourself for plank
ing, remember it must be cut down
the back instead, of down the
stomach, the thin portion Of the
flesh going on the middle of the
plank.
If you have no fish kettle impro-
wise one. Line a wire basket with a

Cranberries

Can cranberries! Never heard of
such a thing? Cheer up; there are
always things we haven't heard of,
thank goodness, despite the old say
ing, There's nothing new under the
sum-"
Yes, eranberries can be, canned,
and here is another surprise-they
can be canned without sugar. That
is good news, you will agree, when
sugar is so scarce. Besides that,
before you get through reading this
article, we'll wager you will want
to can cranberries even if you never
heard of doing so, for eranberries
are just beginning to be appreciated.
They are so useful in making meat
tender-(never heard of that before,
did your and in making the most
delicious buildings, pies and dainty
desserts.
Yes, desserts take sugar and you
can purchase no sugar, but you can
get white corn syrup, and white
corn syrup makes most satisfac-
tory sugar substitute. Try it and
be convinced.

Eat fish; there is plenty in the
sea-" the government says. This
seems to be a true statement, as
most fish are in the sea rather than
on land. The weak-enders who do
land in our markets are good, but
not as varied as formerly and have
gone up in price, like everything else.
Yet even with the advance they are
enough lower than meat prices to
tempt the economical.
When purchasing halibut or
swordfsh, where the head and fins
have been removed the test is
pearly white or shining gray skin,
firm flesh and good odor. 1t is an
excellent rule never to buy fish
which is out of season.
1t is an excellent plan to post
ones self thoroughly on the fish
which are in season all the year
round and purchase accordingly.
Decide when you order fish how
you will cook it. The fish dealer can
prepare it for planking or broiling
better thar you can. The cheapest
hSn is not always the most cCoHoih-
ical. Five pounds of cod will con-
tain about two pounds of waste in
the shape of skin, head, tall and
bone, while two pounds of halibut

Sonle of them had been fanOils locally
and not unknown over the parish as
basket hall players of merit.
The lineup Of the regulars read Y:

Two games were played during the
