The housewife who knows has
discovered the fine eating in fresh
frozen" as well as fresh caught
fish. For the skeptic, here is au-
thority: 'FTesh-caught' and fresh
frozen fish are equally good" says
the Fish and Wild Life Service of
the Department of the Interior.
De luxe frosted foods have taught
every one the virtues of frosted
foods, but it is we'll to remember
that frozen fish need not be
wrapped and boxed to beautiful
perfection to deserve commendation
the frozen fish seen in utilitarian
wrappings at the neighborhood fish
dealers shop is also good, high
quality product The freezing of
fish products has been developed to
a very high degree of excellence by
the whole fishing industry.
1t is important to remember
about fish-as about all frozen foods
it should be eaten soon after it
has been defrosted; or it should be
wrapped in waxed paper and stored
in the refrigerator for not longer
than the next day after thawing
1t should never be refrozen once it
has been thawed out.
If your dealer has only small
quantities of 'fresh-caught" ask for
frozen fish. You will find a large
variety from which to choose at
this season of the year Here are
some fish recipes, equally good for
freshly caught" or freshly frozen"

FLOWERS FROM COAL.

{ From Mrs. J. S. D., Washington. J
In answer to Mrs. D. E. HIS re-
quest for flowers from coal, 1
imagine what we call The Cinder
Plant is the same thing, although
they might be made from chunk
OF coal, I presume, never heard of
coal being used. We always used
cinder and called it "Cinder Plant"
To make this, take a shallow dish
Of some kind, glass pie plate or
old-fashion soup plate OF course
you do not expect to use the plate
again, for you will keep it in for
several months or until you get tired
of it. Get large cinder as large
as pint or quart cup as you like.
Have it as irregular and full of
holes as you can. Place it in the
dish with from "a to u inch of water
in the plate and cover the cinder
well with fine table salt. Let stand
few days for the salt to grow over
the cinder and plate which looks
very much like thick hoar frost.
Now color it as you like, using very
small drops Of different coloring,

Recipe Roundup

There's something very satisfying
for the Sunday night supper or the
stag snack" after round of cards
as exemplified in good tongue
and potato salad. This is decidedly
a mans dish and one which the lit
tie woman will do well to remem-
ber when planning refreshments for
the boys, the next time it is her
turn to entertain.
Dice about 6 cooked potatoes-of
course, quantities will have to de-
pend on how many hungry gentle
men you plan to feed-and add to
them or three tablespoons of
minced onion, 4 cup chopped cell
cry, and l cup of chopped cabbage.
Marinate these ingredients with Il
cupkof good tart French dressing
to which a considerable dose of
chonped chives has been added.
When the dressing has been alb
sorbed, add l cup of cooked tongue,
cut into julienne strips, and n cup
of strips of green pepper.
Dress with mayonnaise to which
a little extra mustard and some
horseradish have been added. Serve
on lettuce, garnished with slices of
Ape olive; if you wish, or with cres-
cents of avocado previously salted
and sprinkled with lemon juice.
Planning to have roast this Sun
day? A nice roast old
England" affair? Then you can't do
better than serve a crisp and de-
lectable Yorkshire pudding along
with it, as a change from the more
familiar slices of bread soaked in
gravy.
Use your favorite popover batter
you can use even good commercial
popover mix, if you like. Take 3 or
4 big spoonfuls of hot drippings
from the pan in which the beef is
roasting and pour them into a shall
low pan-about 8x8 inches is ideal.
This pan is returned then to the
oven SO that it and the drippings
can become sizzling hottie secret
Of the pudding"
Pour in the batter, while every-
thing Slzzles and smokes, and bake
in not oven-betWeen 400 and 425
depression 25 minutes.
Cut the pudding into squares
not too small-and surround the
roast on its platter with them Pass
more pan gravy in separate boat
or use a well and tree platter to
catch the blood juices, with which
to douse the Yorkshire pudding.

Artichoke

The globe artichoke, an unopened
flower bud, grows on a strong
thistlelike plant, and like any other
flower bud shows quality in color

BOOKS ON CHILD CARE;
SUGGESTIONS.
From Mrs. L. NJ. j., Laurel, Md J
For those readers interested in
care and training of the preschool-
age child. one of the best books
I've had is the one titled Your
Child From One to Six" which, in
a fine revised edition is available
by sending for Publication 80, Chill
dren's Bureau, United States De-
partment of Labor, Washington Is,
D. C. This book is for free.
Another suggestion, why not have
a column on Saturday Tor one other
night devoted entirely to queries
on poetry, verse, songs and quota
tions? I'm sure there would be
much interest as it is so aggravat-
ing to carry around a snatch" of
verse or song and rack ones brain

Can any of your readers tell me

BLOOD STAINS.

From Mrs. B. w. X, Washington
One must remember when trying
to remove blood stains. never to use
hot water which coagulates the pro-
tein and makes it almost impossi-
BILE to handle. A good remedy is
to use cold or very slightly warm
water and a mild white soap and
rub the spot out. After it is thor
oughly wet with cold water, 1t
usually comes out easily.
