how heaven could flow with milk and
honey IL there were no cows there to

Picturesque Nantucket.
Until several years ago Nantucket
had its town crier. Old customs are
followed as closely as possible. Some
Of the old streets are paved with cob
blestones, and houses are built of
wood with old wood shingles for a
roof. Many fishing dories are docked
along the one-time busy wharves, and
while it's glory Is gone, the town Of
Nantucket becomes more picturesque
every day.

4 land man. couple Of farmers,
and the farm editor counted all the
renters in the county that they could
think of and they got the number of
six Allowing that they counted half
of them, the statement that there are
not dozen renters i'll Rusk county

All Rusk county citizens are proud
of this achievement. The growth in

Some Counties Already "Over
the Top"

FEBRUARY s will be Armenia day i'll
Wisconsin. On that day every pastor
is asked to speak On~the condition of
the Armenians and the need of the
coming drive. Rusk county is asked
to raise $1,000.
The plan that seems to be the best for

schools and churches. Every school
teacher is asked to raise funds by any
method they think best. The pastor,
the president of the Ladies' Aid and
the srpt. of Sunday school are commit
toe for each church. and they will have
entire charge of their members. The
heads of all lodges are asked to see that
their lodges do something. l.. c.
Streater is treasurer for the county
and all funds should he sent to him.
This is most worthy cause and if
the RuSk county people respond i'll the
usual manner we can easily raise our
share. Several of the counties have
the full amount of their quota now

OF Interest to All Housewives
FISH
Structure.
The flesh of fish is made up of bun
dies of libers similar to those of meat.
but there is so little connective tissue
that the bundles of fibers are not held
together as firmly as in meat
Composition
/. Protein, =,
>. Fat, -
3. Mineral
4, Water.
5. Gelatine.
Food Value
l, Fish builds up tissue.
,, Gives heat and energy
Because of mineral and water
fish furnishes building material.
4. Because of the water, fish assists
i'll carrying food to the cells and waste
away from the cells and in regulating
the body temperature.
.. The mineral regulates body
processes, digestion, circulation and
elimination.
Dgestibility.
IN general, fish is easily digested,
varying with the amount of fat and
coarse fiber present. White fieshed
fish, excepting cod, is more easily di-
gested, but less stimulating than oily
fish
Importance in the Diet.
Fish is valuable sOurse of body
building food and should be used Of
tener than ii now is in the average Am
crican home. Twice week is not too
often if it is prepared attractively.
Selection.
Freshness is the all important quail
ity in fish. Fish decOmpOseS quickly
and there is greater danger from ptO-
maine poisoning than in other foods.
To tell when Il fish is fresh:
/. The gills are bright red and clear.
> The eyes are bright and full.
3. The flesh is firm, the tail not
dropping,
t. The scales do not come off easily
and there is no disagreeable odOr.
TO clean scaly fish:
Remove scales by working "a knife
over the fish, beginning at the tail and
drawing the knife towards the head.
If the fish is to he used at once. dip il
into boiling water and remove immedi-
ately. This aids in looSening scales.
Wash the FISH thoroughly inside and
out with wet cloth, then dry on clean
cloth. Leave head and tail on for
baking whole, Keep, on ice, but not ina
ice box. since the odor may faint the
other foods.
To skin a fish:
With a sharp knife slit the skin
along the entire length OF the back
bone. Remove fins. Loosen the skin
by working carefully with small knife
beginning at the center of the back
and working along one side around the
fish. then turn fish over and loosen the
skin OH the other side.
To bone fish:
After the fish is skinned. begin at
the tail with the b0ning Knife and sep
arate the flesh from the backbone ON
each side. Follow the ribs anu work
carefully towards the head. The en-
tire backbone and ribs will all come
out together See that all little bones
are removed.
