Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

There are many ways Of cooking
fish. Much depends on the kind and
cut OF fish in deciding how 10 cook
II. Small whole fish and fish steaks
may be dipped in -four or corn-meal
and fried in just a little fat in q
frying pan-sauted. Very small fish
and fllets Of fish should be fried in
deep fat.
Fish to be broiled should be rather
thin. Herring. whitehsh and maeke-
rel are split down the back and
broiled whole. Fish steaks are cut
not more than an inch thick for
broiling.
Any fish may be broiled. The
fish should be tied in cheese cloth
and cooked in broiling sailed, acid
ulated water.
Moderate sized fish may be stuff
ed and baked whole. Fish steaks
are baked with a slice Of bacon or
salt pork on each steak.
Menu for Tomorrow
Breakfast: stewed prunes. soft
boiled eggs. toast. grapefruit mar
malade. coffee.
Luncheon: Cream OF tomato soup,
croutons. stuffed baked apples. tea.
Dinner: Boiled salmon. shoestring
potatoes, beet and cabbage salad, le-
mon custard pie. coffee.
My Own Recipes
II water is used in the lemon JUS
tard instead of milk the custard
has a much better taste. The lemon
juice and milk do not combine hap
pily. And a pinch of salt brings
out the best of all the ingredients.
Stuffed Baked Apples
large apples
s prunes
2 dessertspoons orange juice
l tablespoon butter
4 tablespoons sugar
Il cup water
u cup chopped nuts
Pare apples and cut slice from
stem end. Remove core. Soak the
prunes in cold water for two hours.
Remove stones and chop fruit. Fill
cavities of apples with chopped
prunes, a little sugar and IN tea
/ spoon orange juice to each apple.
Cover with slice cut from end Of
apple. Put apples in pan and haste
with strip made OF sugar, butter
and water. Bake in a moderate e.
basting frequently. until apples are
tender. Remove from pan. pour
over any strip left in bottom of
pan and sprinkle with nuts.
Boiled Salmon
. pounds salmon
4 cups water
1 dessertspoon salt
1 small turnip
L small onion
] stalk celery
6 p"epper-corns
parsley, thyme. bayleaf
Put water and ~seasonings into a
kettle and let simmer 80 minutes.
Add fish tied in a piece of cheese
cloth. Boil gently until tender. The
time of cooking depends more on
the thickness of the fish than the
weight. A thick piece of salmon
should cook about Is minutes to the
pound. Drain well and serve on a
folded napkin. Egg sauce or Hol-
landaise may be served with boiled
salmon.

diculous, that he had received much

also attracted some attention In the con-
troversy waged over the attack on the

he would run in the Democratic pri-

culating petitions or whether he would
accept the advice of thosse who wanted
him to run as an independent candidate
in the regular campaign. He attacked
Murphy, saying:

KING GEORGES BUDGET
SHOWS BIG DEFICIT
G45, 900 Short IN 1920 and
Likely More This Year.
BIZ ne Asaoc,atea Press

LONDON, Aug. lo.-Kmg George has
been hard hit by the increased cost or
living during and since the war. This
statement was made in the House OF
Commons tonight by ]. Austin Cham
berlain, Lord Privy Seal, who said that
the Kings civil list (the sum provided
fnom public funds for the expenses OF
the royal household) had shown a pro-
gressive deficit for several years.
The deficit In 1919 was f24.500, and
in 1920 f45.000. and It probably wluld
be greater in 1921. despite reduction
in the state functions and the strictest
economies.
The King advocated a reduction of the
ceremonial splendors associated with the
British throne. but the Government had
advised him that Parliament and the
great mass of the population of the Elm
pire would prefer to maintain the GUS
tomary dignity of the Crown.

former Gov. Alfred +. Smith, who ap-
pointed Talley last December to take
the place OF Judge James T.. Malone,

denomination was denied to the Judge
no satisfactory answer was forthcom-
