HONEY PROVES TO BE
ALL-YEAR ROUND FOOD

To consider honey as luxury is
thing of the past. 1t is now in the
reach of all pocketbooks and it's
value as food cannot be over rated.
In olden times honey was used as a
sweet. This was before the introduce
ton of sugar. But since sugar is
more easily produced in larger guam
titles and is unusually lower in price
honey season. 1t can be bought The
ground. People generally think of
honey in "season" but there is no
honey season. It con be bought the
year around since people abe using
It more and more. Just as oranges
used to be bought in season and
then came to be known as an all-year
round food, so is honey coming into
general use throughout the year.

alton for spectators of the ball and
one Wichita man wrote the Demo-

"The wTtnr was one of the specta-

ar Fall estival, and while not
having the reputation for any parti-
culiar qualification for sitting in
judgment on feminine charms,
wish to say the three young ladies
who represented Liberal on this oc-
casion certainly did honor to them
selves as well as to their city in the
very artistic and attractive way in
which they conducted themselves in
being formally presented to the
Queen on this occasion.
~ wish to compliment them parti-
cularly on their ease in grace in
making their official bow to Her

eroiled Fish.-Broiling over Goals or
under the gas flame until brown Is q
favorite way Of preparing the smaller
fish. Fresh fish Of one to two pounds
size, or smoked fish, such as finnan
haddie or white fish, are delicious
served in this way.
Wash the fish, split, season, dot with
fat. place on creased broiler and
broil until the flakes can he easily sep
arated. If gas broiler is used, place
the rack several inches below the fame
and brown. Sliced lemon makes an at
tractive garnish and gives additional
flavor and food value.
Boiled Fish.-Boiled fish Is easily
prepared and, when served with a
well-seasOned sauce, is delicious.
Cook whole or, If too large, cut in
pieces. Cover with boiling salted wa
ter. but do not allow it to boil rapidly.
as hard boiling breaks the fish. Cook
for ten minutes per pound. Strong
favored fish, such as carp. Is improved
by adding half cupful of vinegar to
the cooking water.

n piece from the middle Of Il large one.
If desired. stuff with mashed pota-

seasoned. Cut gashes down the back
and insert strips of salt pork or dot
with fat. Dredge with fine corn meal
or flour. place in n baking pan and
cook till tender. allowing ten to twelve
minutes pound. Sometimes fish is
baked In tomato sauce or in milk
enough to cover the bottom Of the
pan.
Fried Fish.-Small fish may be fried
whole; larger ones should be cut into
pieces suitable for serving. Roll the
fish In corn meal or flour, or dip 1t In
batter, or in bread crumbs. egg. and
ngain In crumbs. Fry In deep fat, or
In small amount Of fat In skillet.
Fish fried In deep fat Is less likely to
be greasy than when fried In n pan.

(Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
Many families during the war
formed the habit of having two or
three fish days a week and some Of
them have kept 1t up ever since. Many
others, II they tried it, would find that
the use Of more fish adds pleasant
variety to the meals.
America has as good a fish supply as
any country In the world, say food spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, but Americans
eat less fish than the people of many
other countries. For instance, In Eng
land an average of G5 pounds of fish
yearly for each person Is eaten, while
here the average is only IS pounds.
All told, there are said to be about
100 kinds of edible fish available In
the United States, but most persons
are familiar with not more than Il
dozen. 1t Is good plan to try new
kinds Of fish whenever there is an op-
portunity and, If they are not avail
able In the local market. to suggest to
the flshman that he add them to his
supply. Also, II fresh fish cannot be
obtained, many kinds Of salt, smoked
and canned fish can be shipped any.
where at any season of the year.
How to Select q Fresh Fish.
Whenever possible. 1t is best to go to
the market and select fish. A fresh
fish has full. bright eyes. bright red
gills. firm flesh and fresh odor. The
flesh along the backbone should be ex-
amined with special care, because that
Is where fish spoils first.
Frozen fish should Be bought in that
condition and thawed In a cool place
just before cooking. Much of the pref.
udice against frozen fish has come
from the fact that 1t was thawed out
some time before 1t was sold. Fish
does not change in flavor and food
value SO long as 1t remains frozen, but
1t spoils very quickly after 1t Is
thawed.

ditionaI Advantage Of Extending
Small Amount.

Stuffed steak is good eating, and pos
sesses the additional advantage OF ex-
tending small amount of meat. The
following recipe for this dish is rec
commended by the food specialists in

rlculture:
pound round 2tab bl p o o nfuls
steak. chopped parsley.
2 cupfuls oiled teaspoonful onion
rice juice.
Salt. Paprika.
Blend the rice with the seasoning.
Pound the steak until thin. Spread
the steak with n layer OF the rice
stuffing about three-quarters inch
thick. Roll and tie in shape or fasten
with skcwers. Put In covered pan
with enough water to keep from burn
ing and cook in the oven for 30 min
utes. Take off the cover and brown
before removing from the oven. Thick
en- the stock left In the pan for gravy.
Or. If preferred. make individual
servings. Cut three-inch square Of
steak. place tablespoonful Of the
dressing In the center. roll the steak
around 1t, and fasten. Place 1t In a
pan with a little water and cook as
the rOnst was cooked. This steak is
very good served with tomato sauce.

EGGS QUITE USEFUL

Best Ways Of Serving Them for Young

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Eggs are especially useful food for
young children. The chief point to re-
member In preparing them for chill
dren is that they must not be over
cooked for such are likely to cause
indigestion, say food specialists In the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Every one knows how the heat
OF cooking hardens the egg, and 1t Is
easy to understand why the digestive
juices might have difficulty In pene-
trating such hard substance as the
white Of a hard-boiled egg. Over
cooked yOlks are also thought to be
hard to digest. However, when eggs
are cooked In the shell. the heat
reaches the white before 1t does the
yOlk, and there Is more danger Of the
white being overlooked than Of the
yolk. The best ways Of serving eggs
for children are poached, soft boiled,
or coddled, though they may be scram-
bled for change II one Is careful not
to scOrch the fat used nor to overlook
the egg.
Many means have been suggested
for cooking eggs In such way that
the yolks will be cooked and the
whites will not be overlooked. One
Of the most satisfactory is by coddling.
which Is done as follows: Allow a
cupful Of water to each egg, bring the
water to the boiling point, remove 1t
from the fire. put in the eggs. cover
the dish closely, and leave the eggs
in the water for about seven minutes.
There Is some uncertainty about this
method, for eggs differ in weight and
also in temperature at the time the
cooking begins. On the whole this
method can be more depended upon
than others. Good results can be OBJ
tained by pouring hot water over
eggs, II the same dish with the same
amount Of water is always used, but
each cook must make her own rules.

PRESIDENT HARDING REQUESTS
INVESTIGATION OF coNpI.
TioNs IN COTTON BELT.
PELLAGRA GRIPS SOUTH
AMERICAN RED CROSS AND PUB
Lie HEALTH SERVICE WILL
AID PLANTERS.
Western Newspaper Union News serviee.)


Washington.-Alarm at reports Of
threatened "semi-famine," coupled
with an epidemic of pellagra In a large
section of the southern cotton belt,
President Harding has requested both
the Public Health Service and the
American Red Cross TO make immedi-
ate investigation and report what
could be done by the federal govern
ment.
The fullest cooperation of all fed
eral agencies in the relief measures
was promised by the President, who
declared that II found necessary, Con-
gress would be asked to pass special
legislation.
The President In his letter said:
II have been greatly concerned to
note the public statement from the
Public Health Service as to the men,
ace Of pellagra and condition of at
least Of scmi-famIne in a large Sec
tiOn of the cotton belt.
"Thnt such condition obviously is
Il temporary incident to the economic
dislOcatiOn following the war, cannot
lessen our concern.
Immediate and effective measures
of ameliOrizntiOn are manirestly de-
mandel If conditions even approXi-
mate the gravity suggested by the
public health report. 1t Is unthink-
able that we should delay for II single
day the Institution of such measures"
The planters are almost moneyless
and are unable to obtain further
credit from the banks, which also are
hard pressed.
Nevertheless, the tenants must be
carried until next fall with no assur.
ance that the cotton market will come
back even then.
The Public Health Service, In Its
statement, issued prior to receipt of
President Harling's letter, suggested
two remedies-tO help the victims di
rectly and to help them to help them
selves, the former of which was said
to be the only one Immediately appli-
cnR!e.
The threat of famine and plague"
the President wrote, seemed to arise
from the fact that depressed markets
Ind made 1t impossible for the people
of n large section to sell their stocks
of cotton.
The resulting shortage of money, he
said, apparently had deprived many
thousands of the variety of food nee
essnry to ward off pellngrn.
Latest reports received by the Pub
lie Health Service were said to indi-
cate that pellngrn this year IN the cot
ton belt would claim about 100000 vic
tins, of whom, il was estimated 10 per
cent would die.
