Fat flinders Digestion.
1t is only reasonable TO infer that
the fish with smaller amounts of fat
are the more digestible and hence
more desirable for children or inva-
lids. The lighter kinds are less slim
ulating than meat and therefore bet
ter for those who lead sedentary
lives.
This latter fact may have been re-
spOnsible for the misinterP>etation
that led 10 the notion that fish is
brain food" Every one knows this
is unscientific and therefore untrue.
Fish is apt to spoil" soon after be-
ing taken from the water, and the
housewife will therefore do well to
acquaint herself with a few of the
main facts concerning preserved fish.
Facts of Preserved Fish.
The most popular forms of nreser-
Walton are drying, freezing, smoking
| and canning either in oil or plain.
As TO the safety of using such prod
ucts we may safely refer the house
| wife to her state college or the U. s.
Department of Agriculture or her city
department of health. Any one of
these will gladly forward material
showing in detail the great care ex-
pended on making the products abso-
lutely safe.
Shell fish are in class by them
selves so far as digestbility is con-
cerned. Most authorities will agree
that except in the case of raw oysters
shell fish are less easy of digestion
than other varieties.
A Few Recipes for Fish.
Fish Hash-Equal parts of cold
flaked fish or shredded salt cod and
cold boiled potatoes, which have been
chopped fine. Season with salt and
pepper, add enough tried out salt pork
fat to moisten nicely without making
the mixture greasy. Spread on an
omelet pan, brown on under side, fold
like an omelet and brown other side.
Scalloped Fish-This is one of the
best ways of preparing left over fish,
as it makes a good luncheon or supper
dish and with the addition of well
made white sauce insures n nourish-
ing combination Of milk and fish. An
other way is to first place layer of
cold flaked cod in well buttered bak-
ing dish. season with salt and pepper.
add a layer of oysters that have. been
dipped in butter. season with onion
juice, then add alternate layers of
buttered crumbs and fish. with
crumbs on top: mOisten with SISTER
liquor and bake in hot oven for
about twenty minutes. Serve with an
egg sauce. 7.'S''ssr-'Nq

There are other more elaborate
methods of preparing fish. but the
simple left over recipes avs the broil-

practical and satisfactory for the aver

BUYING COOKED FOOD
Home Cooking Often May BE Varied
BY Commercial Foods.

My husband says If 1 ever gave
him delicatessen meals he would get
a divorce" So said a very young
bride as she hurried away from a
tea in order to cook Toms" favorite
dessert.
That's all very well, my dear, "
answered her more experienced hos
tess.
what you need to do is to use
common sense here. as in all other
crises Of married life. Tell your Tom
that on occasions when your time is
fully taken up or when you need a
little wholesome recreation or when
you would have to light a specially
hot fire just to cook one dish it may
be the height of economy to go to a
good shop and purchase that food
ready cooked.
Suppose, for example, you were
overtired, that you need a couple Of

Plain Sauce.

One cup water. one-half cup sugar,
two tablespoons cornstarch, two table
spoons butter, one teaspoon vanilla
or lemon. Mix sugar and cornstarch,
add water and boil five minutes. Re
move from fire and add butter and
flavoring.

hours rest and that you could buy a
roast chicken all ready for dinner at
trifle more than the cost Of cook
ing the bird at home. Place a money
value on your time, on your strength
and on the finished product. Tom
will respond to this instantly, for
he is accustomed to just such proceed
ings in business transactions. Then
see if he does not prefer a rested
wife and a ready cooked chicken to
a solitary evening even though he
has had "home cooking" for dinner.
"The danger of delicatessen cook
ing is that it may lead up to the
purchase of unwholesome and un-
paltable 'messes' or to a picked up
meal of potato salad and ham and
pickles when you and Tom need a
good hot dinner.
at is surprising how old fashioned
common sense will often step in and
solve quite knotty problems"

distinct sound of a key being
fitted into the door that opened
from the street.
He had no time to turn and
find hiding place The. door
had already opened and a figure
was stepping in. Then the door
was heard to close again, shut

rain.
AS Kestner stood with his back
to the wall and his revolver in
his hand, he could detect a newer
small odor, the odor of rainsoaked
garments on a warm body. He.
knew that the man was standing
there, not five PAGES from him,
listening as intently as he him.
self was listening. He could hear
the faint drip OF the water from
the. wet coat. He could even
catch the sound of the others
breathing. The next moment,
too, he could hear the subdued
movement OF feet as that new,
conner advanced deeper into the
house. He could hear a sleeve
button as 1t tapped against the
newel.post at the foot of the stair
way, while hand CROPPED through
the darkness for the banister.
Kestner could have reached out
and touched the hesitating figure
as it stood there. But he
crouched back, ready for the
worst, hoping against hope that
the light would not be switched
on. The next sound that came to
him was a sigh, and then the
faint stir and rustic of cloth.
Kestner knew the man was
taking off his wet overcoat and
hanging it across the banister
rail. On it, he knew, that the
man was next balancing his rain
soaked hat. Then the steps went
slowly and stea1thily up the stair.

Kestner waited until they took
the turn at the head of the
stairs. Then he reached over and
examined the wet hat, gauging
its dimensions with his distended
fingers, shifting at it as a
hound might. Then he felt quick

attempting to verify the disuuiet-
ing suspicion that the newcomer
was indeed Morello. But the over
coat held nothing to confirm this
fear
Kestner no longer hesitated.
He felt his way about the newell
post, creeping up, the stairs as
quietly as the man who had pre-
coded him. Looking up, at the
first turn, he was able to make
out faint glimmer of light
falling across the well of the
stairway on the floor still one
flight above him. So he crept
on, his rubber-soled feet deadening
the sound of his steps.

Yet he had laid his plans care

gone amiss.
He drew up, suddenly, subcon-
sciously warned of a condition
which for a moment he could not
define.
Then the truth of the
matter came home to him. He
could feel faint current of
cooler air blowing against his
face. And as he crept on, from
somewhere in front of him, he
could hear the steady patter, of
falling raindrops.
That meant. he felt, that a
door or window was open at the
back of the house. And it was a
conclusion which did not add to

He CROPPED his way on, veering
through an open door and thread

til he had traversed the full
length of the house. And in front

found an open window and the
rain blowing against a gently

He studiously explored the sash
