be done at night. as they are sleepy,

too much to ask. as the constant con-
nnement is wearing on my nerves, and

day after day? I know II / could go

oand on account of his peculiar ways.

EyrSH are divided into two classes
those having backbones, which
are called vertebrates; and those
which have no backboncs, and arc
called shellfsh.
The v%ertebrates are classified as
fresh and salt water fish, and they
contain both white and dark meat
Fish is similar to meat in compo-
sition and structure and IS classed
among the protein or bodybuilding
foods. 1t may replace meat or Its
equivalent on the menu.
! The muscle consists Of a bundle
of ibers, bound together by a con-
nective tissue; it is so tender that it
requires much less time to cook than
meat. Fish, as a rule, contains less
fat than meat and, while there is
considerable refuse, it will be found
to be about equal to the bone in
meat.
The methods Of cooking fish arc:
Broiling, boiling, baking, deep fat
frying and sauteing.
To Boil Fish
Cleanse and prepare the fish. Tie
IN a piece Of cheesecloth and then
plunge into a kettle Of boiling court
bouillon. Cook, allowing twenty
minutes to the pound. Lift drain
we'll and then turn on a hot platter,
laying a napkin under the fish to
absorb the moisture. Serve with
either cream, hollandaisc, egg or
tomato sauce and garnish with slices
of hard boiled egg, beet, carrot cut
in dice or capers, diced beets. slices
of lemon.
Court Bouillon
Place five pints of water in a fish
kettle and add
One small onion. sliced,
One clove,
Three branches Of porsleH
One small rcd pepper,
One-hoJ bay leaf,
One teaspoonfuL of pdprika.
One teGspoonful of celery salt,
TDo tedspoonfuls of salt,
One-hulf cupfuL Of vinsgar,
One fdggot Of soup herbs.
Bring to a boil and cook the fish.
Strain and set aside TO cook fish in
again.
Baked Fish
Cleanse and prepare the fish, leav-
ing the head and tail on the body,
but remove the eyes and fins. Now
prepare a filling as follows:
One oupful of bread crumbs,
Three tdblespoonfu,s Of shorten
ing,
One t~eospoonfl Of salt,
One teaspoonfM of paprikd,
One small onion grated,
One egg.
Mix and then fill into the fish.
Fasten the opening with a string or
with toothpicks. Place in a baking
dish and rub with plenty of short
ening. Dust with flour and place in
a hot oven to bake. Basic every ff.
teen minutes with boiling water.
Allow eighteen minutes to the pound
