AMERICANS CONSUME FEW FISH
COMPARED WITH OTHER NATIONS
The Sooner a Fish Cart Be Served After Being Caught the More Appetizing
It Will Be.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Many families during the war
formed the habit of having two or
three fish days a week and some of
them have kept It up ever since. Many
others, if they tried It, would find that
the use of more fish adds pleasunt
variety to the meals.
America has as good a fish supply as
any country In the world, say food spe
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, but Americans
eat less fish than the people of many
other countries. For Instance, in Eng
land an average of GO pounds of fish
yearly for each person is eaten, while
here the average is only 18 pounds.
Ail told, there are said to be about
100 kinds of edible fish available in
the United Stutes, but most persons
are fumiliar with not more than u
dozen. It Is a good plan to try new
kinds of fish whenever there is an op
portunity and, If they are not avail
able In the local market, to suggest to
the Ashman thot he add them to Ids
supply. Also, If fresh fish cannot be
obtuined, many kinds of salt, smoked
and canned fish can be sldpped any
where at any season of the year.
How to Belect a Freoh Fish.
Whenever possible, it Is best to go to
the mnrket and select fish. A fresh
fish has full, bright eyes, bright red
gills, firm flesh and a fresh odor. The
flesh nlong the backbone should be ex
amined with special care, because that
Is where a fish spoils first.
Frozen fisfi sboiHd f>e bought in that
condition and thawed in a cool place
Jus! before cooking. Much of the prej
udice against frozen fish hns come
from the fact that It was thawed out
some time before It was sold. Fish
does not change in flavor and food
value so long ns It remains frozen, but
It spoils very quickly after It Is
thawed.
EGGS QUITE USEFUL
FOOD FOR CHILDREN
If Overcooked They Are Likely to
Cause Indigestion.
Best Ways of Serving Them for Young
People Are Poached, Soft Boiled
or Coddled—They May Be
Scrambled for Change.
<Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Eggs are especially useful food for
young children. The chief point to re
member In preparing them for chil
dren is that they must not be over
cooked for such are likely to cause
Indigestion, say food specialists in the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Every one knows how the heat
of cooking hardens the egg, and It Is
easy to understand why the digestive
Juices might have difficulty In pene
trating such hard substance as the
white of a hard-boiled egg. Over
cooked yolks are also thought to be
hard to dlgeßt. However, when eggs
are cooked In the shell, the heat
reaches the white before It does the
yolk, and there Is more danger of the
white being overcooked than of the
yolk. The best wnys of serving eggs
for children are poached, soft boiled,
or coddled, thougli they may be scram
bled for a change if one is careful not
to scorch the fat used nor to overcook
the egg.
Many means have been suggested
for cooking eggs in such away that
the yolks will be cooked and the
whites will not be overcooked. One
of the most satisfactory is by coddling,
which Is done as follows: Allow a
cupful of water to each egg, bring the
water to the boiling point, remove It
from the fire, put In the eggs, cover
the dish closely, and leave the eggs
In the water for about seven minutes.
There Is some uncertainty about this
method, for eggs differ In weight and
also in temperature at the time the
cooking begins. On the whole this
method can be more depended upon
than others. Good results can be ob
tained by pouring hot water over
effga. If the same dish with the same
amount of water is always used, but
each cook must make her own rules.
Roll Pastry Lightly.
Pastry nhould be rolled lightly that
tbs air may not be pressed out of it
Broiled Fish. —Drolling over coals or
under the gas flume until brown is a
favorite way of preparing the smaller
fish. Fresh fish of one to two pounds
size, or smoked fish, such as finnan
hnddie or white fish/ are delicious
served In this way.
Wash the fish, split, season, dot with
fat, place on a greased broiler and
broil until the flukes can be easily sep
arated. If a gas broiler is used, place
the rack several Inches below the flame
and brown. Sliced lemon makes an at
tractive garnish and gives additional
flavor and food value.
Boiled Fish.—Dolled fish Is easily
prepared and, when served with a
well-seasoned sauce, is delicious.
Cook whole or, If too large, cut in
pieces. Cover with boiling snlted wa
ter, but do not allow it to boll rapidly,
as hard boiling breaks the fish. Cook
for ten minutes per pound. Strong
flavored fish, such as carp, is Improved
by adding a half cupful of vinegur to
the cooking water.
Baked Fish. —Use the whole fish or
a piece from the middle of u large one.
If desired, stuff with mashed pota
toes, cooked rice, or bread cmmbs well
seasoned. Cut gushes down the back
and insert strips of salt pork or dot
with fat. Dredge with fine corn meal
or flour, place in a baking pan and
cook till tender, allowing ten to twelve
minutes a pound. Sometimes fish Is
bnked in a tomato sauce or in milk
enough to cover the bottom of the
pnn.
Fried Fieh.—Smnll fish may be fried
whole; larger ones should be cut into
pieces suitable for serving. Roll the
fish in corn meal or flour, or dip it in
batter, or in bread crumbs, egg, and
again In crumbs. Fry in deep fat. or
in n smnll umount of fat in a skillet.
Fish fried in deep fat Is less likely to
be greasy tliuu when fried in u pan.
RICE-STUFFED STEAK LIKED
It Is Good Eating and Possesses Ad
ditional Advantage of Extending
Small Amount.
Stuffed stenk Is Rood eating, and pos
sesses the additional advantage or ex
tending a small amount of meat. The
following recipe for this dish is rec
ommended by the food specialists In
the United States Department of Ag
riculture:
1 pound round 2 tablespoonfuls
steak. chopped parsley.
2 cupfuls boiled 1 teaspoonful onion
rice. Juice.
Salt. Paprika.
Hlend the rice with the seasoning.
Pound the stenk until thin. Spread
the steak with a layer of the rice
stuffing about three-quarters inch
thick. 1101 l and tie in shape or fasten
with skewers. Put In a covered pnn
with enough water to keep from burn
ing and cook in the oven for 30 min
utes. Take off the cover and brown
before removing from the oven. Thick
en the stock left In the pnn for gravy.
Or, If preferred, make Individual
servings. Cut a three-inch square of
stenk, place a tnblespoonful of the
dressing In the center, roll the steak
around It, and fasten. Place It In a
pan with a little water and cook ns
the roast was cooked. This stenk Is
very good served with a tomato sauce.

ASKS HELP FOR
FAMINE VICTIMS
PRESIDENT HARDING REQUEBTB
INVESTIGATION OF CONDI
TIONS IN COTTON BZLT.
PELLAGRA GRIPS SOUTH
AMERICAN RED CROSS AND PUB
LIC HEALTH SERVICE WILL
AID PLANTERB.
(Western New.-paper Union Sens Smlee.)
Washington-—Alarmed at reports of
a threatened “semi-famine,” coupled
with an epidemic of pellagra In a large
section of the southern cotton licit,
President Harding has requested both
the Public Health Service and the
American Red Cross to make immedi
ate investigation and report what
could be done by the federal govern
ment.
The fullest co-operation of all fed
eral agencies in the relief measures
was promised by the President, who
declared that If found necessary, Con
gress would be asked to pass special
legislation.
Tile President in ills letter said:
“I have been greatly concerned to
note tlie public statement from the
Public Health Service as to the men
ace of pellagra and condition of at
least of semi-famine in a large sec
tion of the cotton belt.
“That such a condition obviously is
a temporary incident to the economic
dislocation following the war, cannot
lessen our concern.
“Immediate and effective measures
of ameliori/ation are manifestly de
manded if conditions even approxi
mate the gravity suggested by the
public liealtlt report. It is unthink
able tlmt we should delay for u single
day the Institution of such measures.”
Tlie planters are ulmost moneyless
and are unable to obtain further
credit from tlie banks, which also ure
hard pressed.
Nevertheless, tlie tenants must be
carried until next fall with no assur
ance tlmt the cotton market will come
back even then.
Tlie Public Health Service, in Its
statement, issued prior to receipt of
President Harding's letter, suggested
two remedies —to help the victims di
rectly and to help them to help them
selves, the former of which was said
to be tlie only one immediately appli
came.
The threat of “famine and plague,”
tlie President wrote, seemed to arise
from the fact that depressed markets
laid made it impossible for the people
of a large section to sell their stocks
of cotton.
The resulting shortage of money, lie
said, apparently had deprived many
thousands of the variety of food nec
essary to ward off pellagra.
Latest reports received by the Pub
lic Heultb Service were said to indi
cate that pellagra tills year in the cot
ton belt would claim übout 100,000 vic
tims, of whom it was estimated 10 pel
cent would die.
“That pellagra would show a heavy
increase this year was foreseen last
fall when the cotton market failed,”
said a statement issued by the Health
Service.

U. S. Imports From China Increaee.
Washington.—The low ebb in Amer
ican imports from China is believed
to have been readied and there art
evidences of increased activity in
shipments to tills country. Commer
cial Attache Julian Arnold at Peking
reported tlie establishment of niinier
ous banks and trust companies by tilt
Chinese which bus led to tlie invest
nient of Chinese money in their own
enterprises.
Mexico Has Soviet Agency.
Mexico City.—Tlie Mexican govern
ment will never allow the establish
ment of a soviet propogaudn agency

Shame on Them.
jpEBHAPS there are a few mothers who do not know the virtues of Fletcher’s
Castoria. Perhaps there are a few who know that there are imitations on
the market, and knowing this demand Fletcher’s. It is to AT.T. motherhood, then,
that we call attention to the numerous imitations and counterfeits that may be
set before them.
It is to all motherhood everywhere that we ring out the warning to beware
of the Just-as-good". For over thirty years Fletcher’s Castoria has been an aid
in the upbuilding of our population; an aid in the saving of babies.
And yet there are those who would ask you to try something new. Try
this. Try that. Even try the same remedy for the tiny, scarcely breathing, babe
that you in all your robust womanhood would use for yourself. Shame on them.
