SEA FOOD PRICES
 SLOWLY DECREASE
Meat Increase-Fish Sup= ply Plentiful, Shows Of-
 ficial Data

In the face of rising meat prices, the wholesale price of fish has de- clined 21.2% nthe last twelve minths. according to latest govern ment figures. Fish and sea food is now cheaper than at any time in recent years during which rec ords have been kept.
 The amount of fish landed in the New England area during the first four months of 1895 shows an increase of 29,000,000 pounds over the same period year ago. One hundred and twenty-eight million pounds of fish were landed in this section in the first four months of this year as against 99,000,000 pounds in the same period in 1884. The current average wholesale price was 2.38c per popnd, as con- trasted with last years price of 3.01c-a decline of 21.2%.
 The largest single item of in- crease in landings was in large haddock, of which 56,000,000 lbs. were produced for the first four months of 1895. as compared with 32,000,000 lbs. for the first four months of 1934-an increase of 24,000,000 lbs. The price declined from 3.44c per lb. in 1884 to 2.48c per ID. in 1885, a reduction of 27.9%.
 This decline in the price of sea food is of interest to American housewives in view of the fact that statistics of the Department of Markets, New York, N. Y. show that prices have increased sub- stantially during the same period. The retail price of pork has risen from 22c per lb. on May 31, 1884 to 32.5c per lb. on May 31, 1895 -an increase of 45%. Beef has increased from 30c a lb. in 1884 to 38c a ID. in 1885, an increase of 26.6%.
 An increase in the use of fish and sea food by American house. wives, as result of this contrast in fish and meat prices, will be a means of staying within the fam fly budget and at the same time providing the family with the pro- teins necessary for health and growth.

THE CHEF SUGGESTS HORS D'OEUVRES FOR
 YOUR OUTDOOR DINNER
= By JOSEPH MOCHA.
 Chef-The Plasa--New Yosl

Another tray may contain a modest assortment of canapes of the simpler sort, which may nev. erthe1ess be quite as appetzing as those which are fluted and deco- rated in several colors. This may, in fact, be complements of the hors d'oeuvres first mentioned. u. bits of crisp toast or thin crisp waters spread with one of the compound buffers will give just the required zest. Among them are, horseradish butter; chilli sauce butter; mustard butter; mixtures of butter and chesee; butter blend-- ed with minced parsley, chives or water cress; and then such com- pounds as lobster, crayfish or shrimp butter, which is available in tubes, if you do not wish to go to the trouble of making them in your own kitchen.
 For the tray of canapes both white and brown bread or whole wheat may be used. The only decoration required may be a thin slice of hard-boiled egg with a ring of stuffed olive or little caper in. the center. If you like, the butter may be puffed on in a thin, crinkly layer, using pastry tube, and then no other garnish is needed. Or mold the butter into tiny pats, cubes or balls, place one in the center of each small canape or biscuit and provide a small knife or butter spreader for each person. You may even have some very tiny thin sandwiches on this tray, if you like. This is a good one:

 in the clear, cool air remember. If yoA like, instead of using the
 usual tray for hors d'oeuvres, you may place on round tray as
 many pretty scallop shells as will
 fit, and in each one arrange some
 appetizing bit such as herring fill cts; little balls of deviled ham
 mixed with finely minced parsley
 and cream or mayonnaise; some
 thin wedges of smoked salmon;
 anchovies twisted around stuffed
 olives: shrimps; olives, radishes, and cheese balls, sprinkled with finely minced chives. 2; "A rather plebeian member for
 this assortment--but one that is
 tasty and decorative--is the dish of pickled red beets with onion rings and quarters of hard-boiled eggs which have been pickled in red beet juice. This is nice sub- stitute for the stuffed devilled eggs which are more troublesome to make, and more expensive.

AT THE CHILDRENs TABLE - MAKE MOCK OYSTERS
 WITH GREEN CORN
By MARY HOPE NORRls- Founder-Mothers' Radio Round Table

ters. and with them goes all the fun of telling the old story about no more oysters during the months that are without an "R"; then tho surprise of serving the make-be- lieye oysters which both taste and look amazingly like the real ones. This recipe is one which never fails to come out light and huny, yet crisply brown:
 Mock Oysters
 Cut down through the center of each row of kernels on an ear of green corn, and with the back of a knife press out the pulp, leaving the hulls on the ear. To cups of the pulp add beaten eggs, l tea spoon of melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and enough flour to make of consistency to form into small oval cakes. Saute in hot butter: or if you want fri1ly, fluffier re- suit, drop from spoon into hot hat, as you would fritters. Drain and serve with cream cole slaw or stewed tomatoes.
 While we are on the subject of corn, let me give you good recipe for corn pudding. This is also an excellent dish for the children's menu, and one they are fond of:
 Corn Pudding
 With a knife scrape green corn to make 2 full cups. Blend table spoon butter with tablespoons flour and gradually pour over it l cup of rich milk. stirring constant ly until it reaches the boiling point. Add the corn, little bit of sugar, salt and pepper to taste, mix we'll and add the beaten yolks of eggs and fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the 2 eggs. Turn into buttered baking dish and bake in moderate oven, or in an electric cooker. In about 30 min utes the pudding will be set and the top nicely Drowned. Serve at once. This makes an excellent contribution to the vegetable plate. which contains no other starchy food, but has several green yeget- ables such as stuffed tomatoes, broccoli, buttered carrots or peas.

KITCHEN COMMENTS

Parafine quickly cleans and de- odorizes a greasy kitchen sink. Use the liquid paraffine, pouring a few drops on a cloth and rub- ping over the entire surface of the sink. Rinse afterward with hot soapy water.
 Always keep handy good strong sink brush, renewing this helpful little article as soon as it becomes limp or worn. You can get as good brush as you need for this purpose at the dime store for no more than five cents; and for ten you1l see pretty brushes with painted wooden backs to match your color scheme.
 Do yMr children like to make soap bubbles? A grand old mid summer game. Make them even more interested in. it by tinting the water in several shades. <. a bowl of blue, one of rose, one of green one of purple. You'll be as de. lighted as they are with the re. suit.
 If you cannot repaint your kitchen, and it's walls need clean. ing, make a bran cleaner by bo-l- ing 1 pound of bran in gallon of water for, 1 hour. Then use for washing the walls. It will not only clean the paint, but will re- tain the gloss.
 Wax bread papers make a good cleaning pad for the gas stove. When the glass peephole in the oven becomes blackened, clean il by using baking soda on the rag as you would soap or securing; powder, and it will become bright and clear.

COCKTAIL COLUMN
By EDoUARD RoLLAr

 American wines of. the highest quality are of especial interest just now; and tbeir distinctive flavor need a few words of explanation. Most of these wines are made from selected grapes < from-not one section of the country--but from all parts of the United States. The juices of the various grapes are concentrated, then blended. When water is added to bring them back to the normal sugar content, they ferment as one unit, with one flavor and taste. In some of these blends there are as many as eleven varieties of grapes. It is also of interest to know that the grapes of California are high in sugar, but lack acid; hence are full and soft, without much character. The grapes of the East are high in acid and low in sugar, thus producing wine of light body with great flavor. The blending of the grapes produces the perfect types.
 By controlling our sugar content and blending the juices of different grapes we get the equivalent of a vintage wine every year. In the ordinary sense of this term, you know, vintage occurs only in those years when climate condi- tions are perfect, resulting in sound, ripe grapes, high in sugar.
 It is a good habit to cultivate taste for dry wines with ones meals; say a white wine or light red wine with luncheon; heavier wines with dinner; light wines of course preceding them for the first and second Courses. Sweet wines are suitable with dessert only, or after and between meals.

from DR.. L. r. Alderman, educational
director for w. p. A. and the Ma

chief of relief activities in the educa-

interview:
"Our teachers say that adults learn

the 100000 persons who were in
classes taught by relief-paid teachers
during the past year, 100000 had not
been able previously to read and write
well enough to follow the newspapers
and write letters.
