DISEASE

Bright's disease is one of those
maladies that give few definite warn
ings until it is so far advanced as
to be practically incurable. 1t is a
great argument for periodic medi-
cal examinations, for only thus can
the general condition of the body
and it's organs be checked up and
lncipient Bright's disease discovered.
The average case of the disease
sometimes called nephritis-lasts
constantly complaining Of "dyspep-
STA nervousness" liver trouble"
sick headaches" "anemia" or
righteousness not realizing hat per-
haps there is something far worse at
the source of things.
Usually, bad habits cause Bright's
disease-bad habits in eating and
drinking, mostly.
A one-day fast is considered quite
helpful in acute Bright's disease, as
it gives the kidneys a chance to
catch up in their work.
Many authorities recommend n
day a week on a bread and milk
diet.
1t is necessary, too, to become
virtually a vegetarian if you have
Bright's disease. The excess of pro-
teins in meat places a heavy strain
ON the kidneys. A vegetable diet sup
plies better energy and endurance
than any kind of meat.
The victim of the disease should
drink lots of water, hot or cold, as
preferred. Drink 1t between or with
meals or any time your prefer, but

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus
Fish-Eat More of 1t


Even those housewives who live
nea the ocean or inland lakes and
are used to fresh fish forget to nave
1t on the table except on Fridays.
Most people eat too much meat
Fish is classed with meat, eggs and
milk as a protein food, supplying
that which is necessary for repair
ing and building up the body.
Many cooks know but one or twC
ways Of cooking fish; they bake OIL
boil it. and one tires Of it when al
ways served in the same way.
There are many ways of relocating
or making yer fish, and for lunch.
eon or supper these dishes are es.
pecially good. Croquettes. scalloped
fish and potatoes. fish salad are
some of these methods.
Wide Variety for Choice
OF course those people living on
the coas or near the Great Lakes
have a large variety from which tc
make a choice. Many fish are in the
market the year round while 9th RS
have seasons.
Inland people must depend on fish
caught in fresh bodies of water
and usually there are one or two
good ways Of cooking such fish.
Now that w have such a won
derful system of refrigeration, fish
cal be shipped from one part Of tn
country to another-although it /.
likely to be frozen and. of course
loses some Of its flavor when thawed
Such fish should De cooked as sCor
as the ice is out.
Canned Shell Fish
Shell fish such as lobster, crab,
shrimp, clans and oysters are excel
lent canned. Many prefer canned
loster even though the fresh is OBJ
tainable.
Salt and smoked fish are appet!z-
ing. and at times nothing is SO salts
factory as smoked herring or finan-
haGdie or salt Goldfish. Finan haddie
now comes in cans. Dreamed flnan
haddie and baked potato, or salt cod
fish and creamed potatoes make q
most satisfying meal.
Always serve a tomato or cucum-
Der salad or lettuce, with a we'll
favored dressing or cole-slaw with
fish. If possible. Spinach and green
peas or beans r good vegetables
to serve hot.
If fish is boiled have the potatoes
baked or fried. Often it is well to
combine fish and shell fish. as stuff
fling haddock or cod with oysters.
Planked Fish
White fish. shad, haddock and blue
fish are delicious when planked, that
Is broiled on a plank and served
with a potato border with such vege-
tables for garnish as would go well
with that particular fish.
A good sauce is an improvement
to most any fish. Drawn butter with
hard-cooked 6 or pickles is good
with boiled fish and the hot egg and
butter sauce is good with baked fish
Any leftover boiled or baked ish
Is excellent for salad. The fish may
be combined with a vegetable and
served with a ~mayonnaise or a boiled
dressing to which has been added
onion. pickles and a little chill cause
or catsup.

Probably both parties see with equal

The Democratic party draws in a

books written by people who have
never tried out their ideas by actual
demonstration, and who do not test
out their propositions by any form of
experience. Their ideas sound hopeful
