Fish! The Lenten period, of a necessity, demands fish and when it is prepared in the ordinary every- day manner the family tires of the daily fish diet and look forward with little delight to the dinner hour, If the fish is prepared in such a way that it is disguised by sauces or the recipe by which it is cooked it will make the appetite more keen. There are many pleasant ways of preparing fish and many delicious ways of serving it, For instance, how many members of the family enjoy salt codfish, It is a fish which ap- peals to few, Creamed salt codfish 1s a delicacy, rather than a detested dish. It requires one pound of cod- fish, one tablespoon flour, one table- spoon butter, two cups milk, one- eighth teaspoon pepper, one egg, well beaten. Shred the codfish into me- dium sized pieccs and soak several hours in wl | water Drain, place in saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until fish is tender. Drain, Add scalded milk, flour and butter, mixed to a smooth paste, and cook slowly until thick- ened, stirring constantly, Add pep- per and just before removing from the fire stir in the egg, Try this on the family in the near future and see how very much it appeals cven to the most particular one. hrimp is a fish which is employed too seldom in the daily menu. It is often served as a salad but seldom used for the main hot dish for din- ner. An appetizing shrimp prepara- tion 'is Shrimp Newburgh on Rice. It is made with one-half a cup of rice, two tablespoons butter, one and a half tablespoons flour, three- quarter teaspoon salt, few grains cayenne, one-quarter cup cream, one- half cup milk, two cups cooked shrimp, fresh or canned, two egg yolks, one tablespoon sherry flavor- ng. . Cook rice in salted water until tender, Drain in colander and keep hot over boiling water, Melt butter, add flour, salt and cayenne and mix well. Add cream and milk gradually and bring to the boiling point, stir- ring constantly. Add shrimps. (In canned or freshly-cooked shrimps there is a small black vein which runs down the back just below the surface. This may be easily removed with a pointed knife). Just before serving add the beaten egg yolks and flavoring. Serve on mounds of boil- ed rice. Garnish with parsley and thin strips of pimento, Serving fish is an art in itself and should be considered more by the housewife. For instance there are sauces which change the taste of fish entirely, One is Caper Sauce which is made with two tablespoons butter, two tablespoons flour, one-half tea- spoon salt, one cup fish stock or water, one and a half tablespoons caper, one-eighth teaspoon pepper. Melt the butter, add flour, salt and pepper and stir until well blended. Add stock (water in which fish has been boiled} gradually and brig to boiling * point, stirring constantly. Cuok until sauce is thick and smooth. Add capers and seve hot, For sal- von the White Sauce is awa; s a favorite, 'there a + thuee types of white sauce, thin, medium, and thick. The thin is made by taking two cups of milk, three tablespoons butter, three igblespoons fio rr and a half tei spoon salt, Scald the milk. Melt the huter and add fleur, blend horeugh- ly. Add milk gradually and bring to the boiling point, stirring constant- ly. Add salt, The medium and thick sauces are made in the same way and only require other proportions of the ingredients, For the medium sauce use two cups milk, four table- spoons butter, six tablespoons flour, and a half teaspoon salt. For the thick White Sauce use two cups milk, four tablespoons butter, two-third cup flour and a half teaspoon salt, Fish may be garnished with lemons, pickles, parsley, eggs or cold slaw, A shell fish which is classed among the best and is seldom served is Scallops. Fried scallops are delic- ious and for four require a quart, Take the quart of scallops, salt, pep- per, bread crumbs and one egg. Clean the scallops and turn into a saucepan, cook until they begin to shrivel, drain and dry between tow- els. Season with salt and pepper, roll in fine crumbs, dip in beaten egg, again in crumbs Mk J in deep fat, which is at a temperature of 360 degrees, Drain on brown paper, These scallops require two minutes cach to cook and are excellent serv- ed with Tartare Sauce. For the Tar- tare Sauce use one-half teaspoon mustard, 1 teaspoon powdered sugar, one-half teaspoon salt, speck cayenne, yolks of two eggs, one and a half teaspoons vinegar, one-half cup salad oil, one-half tablespoon capers, one- half tablespoon pickles; one-half tablespoon olives, one-half tablespoon parsley. Mix dry ingredients and add beaten egg yolks. Add vinegar and then beat in the oil slowly, a little at a time. Mix remaining in- gredients, measured, after they have been chopped fine, and add to the first mixture, elpful ints For arassed ousewives When buying pork it is well to know when the meat is in proper condition. The pork is in proper condition when the skin and fat are white and clear except the kid- ney or leaf lard which is slightly pinkish in hue, The flesh is com- posed of fine-grained tissues ard is pink in color, The thicker the skin of pork the older the animal from which it was cut, * » Ld Pork should always be thorough- ly cooked.

Judge 'Gemmill's remark was oc- easioned by the request of Mrs, Mamie Stebbins for temporary ali- mony from Charles Stebbins, taxi- cab company superintendent, who is suing her for divorce on charges of drunkenness. "Alimony," Judge Gemmill de- clared., "merely acts as an incen- tive to divorce, The women feel that all they have to do is come into court and ask it to give them money and they can make the man pay for the rest of his life, Judge Says Many Women Plan of Alimony "If it were not for alimony there would not be nearly as many di- vorces in the country, for women would not he so ready to sue for divorce on meaningless grounds or no grounds at all, if they knew that they would not get a large alimony judgement from their husbands. "A man marries expecting a home, companionship and affection. He works hard to provide a home for his wife and when he loses this he should get some compensation for the loss rather than be ex- pected to pay the rest of his life for it," YOUNG PEOPLES SOCILTY MEETINGS CAPTAIN BEST ADDRESSES YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE "Oshawa's Greatest Sin" pre- sented by Captain Best of Whitby a.tracted a Barge crowd to the meeting of North Simcoe Young People's League on Monday even- ing. The devotional exercises which were conducted by Rev, A. M. Irwin, were selected from the Pgalms and dealt with the *Sac- redness of the Temple." The speaker of the evening spoke in a convincing manner and showed that all the sins one might mention could be traced to the | greatest sin "Selfishness", Captain Best needs very little commenda- tion to those who have heard him speak in the city before. Captain Best has an admirable way of combining humaqr and pathos in the same address and appealing to every listener, young and old, in the audience, The church choir assisted in the program and a solo was given by Mrs. Nicoll. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered the speaker and an enjoyable and profitable evening was brought to a close, A strog screwdriver is an excel- lent kitchen utensil for the house- wife to pry off the lids of obstinate cans, instead of her best paring knife, which fs not only dangerous but not strong enough, [omrs i HOME AND SCHOOL COUNCIL HELD BUSINESS MEETING The business meeting of the Home and School Council was held in'the boardroom of the Public Library yesterday afternoon and was well attended.
