FISH WELL PACKED

The fish, as far as an untutored op- server could tell, are packed with the exquisite care that marks most Boston merchandise Well made barrels filled with crushed ice contained. the fish. The temperature at which they have been kept has been well around freezing all the time, and those who examined the fish say they were in the finest condi- ton, and that with such packing they would continue fresh indefinitely
 Until well into the afternoon the sale continued, and as the later corners real
 .zed that those who had arrived earlier
 appreciated what they had purchased,
 the orders grew in size and toward evening nearly every one was buying fish by the basketful.
 It is<uot the intention of the commis- sioners to confine the sale to old Bh mingham. Today the car will remain where it is. but several barrels of fish will be sent to Ensley. where arrange ments. have been made to hold a sale today. The Ensley sale will be held at Ensley's Nineteenth street, between Avenues and G, at o'clock this morning.
 It is not believed that Ensley can take the remainder of the car, and when that community has bought it's l fill, barrels will be sent to other points, and so on until the sale has cleared the last filmed morsel from the ice. l Satisfied that the fish sale Is dis | ltinct success and that Birmingham wants all it can get, Mir. Mckinley took steps yesterday toward securing an other consignment at an early date. | When the next car arrives. presum- ably within the next ten days, or two weeks, the fish will be more easily dis posed of. for counters will be run along 1 either side of the car and number of men will be set to work making the sales, as was done late yesterday aft ernoon, and as is ordered for today.
 MT. Mckinley estimates that at leas 5000 people bought fish from the cal yesterday. taking at least half -ef it. contents. The rest will be sold iron
 point to point about the city until thu car is empty.
 At s:30 o'clock the express car door will again be opened at Fourth avenu' and Seventeenth street, as it was yes l terday. The fish for Ensley will b { sent there in trucks.

Do NOT WASTE FUEL
IN PREPARING FOOD,
Best to Select Those Requiring
Long, Slow Cooking.
Various Vegetables and Meats Can Be
Baked in Oven and Cereals Can
Be Cooked In Double Boiler
on Top. of Stove.

When slow fire Is needed all day
to heat a kitchen, select foods that re-
ouire long, slow cooking. Beans, peas,
and roasts can be baked in the oven
and cereals can be cooked in a double
boiler on the top Of the stove.
In broiling over coal or wood fire
put the broiler through the door over
the fire box instead of taking off the
lids and cooling the fire.
Use double broilers, steamers, and
compartment vessels which fit over
ore burner on a gas or oil stove.
Eggs or small vegetables may be
cooked in the bottom part Of the
boiler while cereals are cooked in the
upper part, according to q. s. depart
ment of agriculture specialists.
A colander or wire basket fitted
over saucepan makes a good steam
er. Vegetables, such as carrots, may
he steamed In the colander while pota-
toes are boiled in the saucepan.
For slow cooking on gas stove use
n simmering burner. When soups and
foods require long cooking, but keep
well, cook them in large quantities.
Turn out the gas when it is not
needed, Matches are cheaper than
gas.
Turn the flame down after the boil
ing point is reached. Water boiling
fast is no hotter than water boiling
slowly
