The foundation of these compotes is;

Of rice carefully and drain. Make a
syrup by boiling down the juice from
the peaches. Mold the rice into little

plates, and place half a peach on top

Raisin Compete
For raisin compete boil half a
cup of seeded raisins till plump and
add the juice of a lemon. Arrange
the cooked rice in a pyramid in the
center of a shallow dish and pour

change for the usual rice and raisins.
The rice can be boiled for a long
time in double boiler, then packed

a plate and fill the center with crushed

world. and is credited, more than any
other one person. with responsibility
for the fact that New York City now
has the lowest infant mortality rate
of any of the ten largest cities in
America. In 1907, Before DR.. Baker
began her work, babies died in New
York Cite at the rate of 144 in every
thousand. In 1919, according to fig
ures just given out, S1.6 was the death
rate. In 1907, 1880 babies died, while
in 1919 but 1883 died despite the
fact that the population of New York
has grown at least two millions during
the period.
Triple Solution
Asked how other American cities
may accomplish similar results, DR..
Baker said:
81 see the problem as needing a
triple solution: (1) Make sanitary
conditions as nearly perfect as possi-
Bile; (2) keep the milk supply right :;
(3) teach health measures, prevention
of disease through personal work and
trained nurses"

Novel Ways of Cooking Fish

FiIlets of fish are delicious and not
hard to make. Use such fish as hall
but, cod, haddock and bass. Cut in
slices and carefully remove all the
bones possible. This can be done
with little practice When ready to
cook, dip in melted butter, sprinkle
with chopped onion and parsley, lemon
juice and a dash of cayenne Ar
range in a baking dish and cover with
a white sauce made by cooking to-
gether a tablespoonful of butter with
one of flour till well blended and add
ing a. cup of milk. Season well with
salt and pepper. Cover with buttered
crumbs and bake till done.
Fish Fritters
Fish fritters are delicious, especially
as the main dish for luncheon. To
make them, make a batter of a half
cupful of hot water and half cup
full of milk Add one tablespoonful OF
butter, and when cool, or just luke
warm, stir in eight ounces of flour.
Let stand for an hour and then add
seasoning, salt, pepper, cayenne, cell
cry salt and little nutmeg. Stir in
good cupful of faxed whitefsh, left
over or canned, that has been well
minced; a half teaspoonful of baking
powder and the beaten whites of two
eggs. Fry by the spoonful in deep fat.
Drain on brown paper and serve on d
bed of water cress.
Stewed SmeIts
Another unusual dish is stewed
smelts. Mince a spoonful of parsley,
put into two cupfuls of water, add a
little mace and salt and pepper. Cook
for 10 or Is minutes, then lay in this
water a dozen nice smelts that have
been rolled in -four Boil for another
ten minutes or till done; remove to a
hot platter and cook the liquor lit
tie longer. If necessary, thicken bit,
strain and pour over the fish. Serve
WIN pam DOlleU potatoes.
Garnishes for Fish
Lemon points, water cress ,beets
and parsley all help to make the fish
dish tempting. The vegetables served
with fish make lot of difference
too, in its appeal. They must be par
ticularly tasty. Potatoes can be
served plain boiled, to be eaten with
fish sauce, mashed and Drowned,
baked lyonnaise or croquettes. Spa
ghetti "r macaroni both go we'll with
fish served with a tasty sauce. Pars-
nip croquettes, sweet potato cro-
quettes, white bean salad and GRO
quettes made from leftover spinach
and mashed potaties, seasoned we'll
and a little cream and butter added,
all help to make the fish dinner sue
cess.

rather disreputable looking saloon in
neighborhood in which several ar
rests had been made for unpatriotic
utterances. Finding herself in such
surroundings, she hesitated and then
strengthened her courage by realizing
that any home welcomes the person
who is interested in its children.
She knocked at the side door which
evidently led into the living apart
ment. The mother of the child opened
it and the young kindergarten was
invited in. The mother stated that
she had kept the little boy at home
because he had not been well. Then
the chat drifted into talk about the
kindergarten and the pleasure which
it had brought him.
FINALLY, rising eagerly to her feet,
the mother said: Just you come
here-I show you what my man has
done" Timidly tiptoeing, as if she
herself was afraid, she led the way
to the door which connected with the
saloon and, opening it cautiously, said
in whisper: Just look there He

SPRING NOISES

There is splendid clamor in the
wood,
That is not known among the city
marts,
A crying language never understood
Save by unthralled, untrammeled
woodland hearts.
The oak trees shout against the close
of day,
And there are cries from flowers
still unborn,
From, ferns, rocks, hills and all the
fine array,
OF colors that announce sounding
The ponderous beeches swell the hymn
along,
The latent sap makes music as it
stirs,
And far away the moss-clad cliffs are
strong,
To echo back the woodland Choir
listers:
Awake, awake, o world, awake and
sing.
And shout the glorious music of the
Spring.

Keeps Balls Clean

A pressed steel hole rim for golf
courses is so designed that it keeps
the balls from falling into mud that
may accumulate at the bottom, and
can be readily adjusted to the de-
sired height by turning removable
key, furnished with the outfit, says
Popular Mechanics. Within the cup,
which forms the rim proper, is a
small cylinder, with threaded surface,
which fits into hole in the bottom
of the cup and into the upper end of
which the ball falls. The threads re-
ferred to cause the cup TO rise or de-
scend when it is turned: Steel shoes
are provided which can be attached to
the iron or bamboo markers so that
they fit snugly in this inner cylinder,
In this way pointed rods that cut up
the putting green's are eliminated.

insufficient Support
Legislation bearing on the fathers
obligations have been particularly
backward in most States, according
to the report. Six States and Alaska
still have no provision whatever for
compelling support by its natural
father. In one State only single
payment of $50 is required; in another
$50 distributed over a period of three
years. The two most liberal State
have allowances that total in one case
$2750 for the first 18 years of the
child's life; and in the other $1750 for
the first II years.
At least $4,000 illegitimate white
children are born each year in the
United States and not more than 70
per cent of these children survive the
first year of life. In European coun-
tries the mortality rate among the
same class of children is twice as high
as that of children of more fortunate
birth. In the United States it is three
times as high.
