The sacred family recipes which made our grandmothers famous In their neigh borhoods and our mothers prized In their turn, bequeathing them to us as family treasures, are as useless now as a millionaire chefs cook book, with every recipe beginning, "take one dosen eggs and one and one-half pounds of butter." which sounds like the refrain of a forgotten song sung in our palmy food days of long ago. In these progressive times, with great events striding along in seven leagued boots, one treading upon an other's heel so fast are they happen ing, our habits of eating our favorite dishes will have to undergo change as well as governments and politics. The ancient Briton on his island surrounded by the sea nevar ate salmon or oysters until the Romans invaded and conquered and taught him new habits of eating. The United States bureau of fish eries has Issued a poster. "Why You Should Eat Oysters," and says: "It is a duty to utilize this vast food re source as far as possible and save the other foods of which there is a dearth. It is not one of the cheap foods when measured by the cost of its useful constituents, but it is valuable as an appetising varient of the diet. A reasonable variety of food is neces sary to the health of a civilized peo ple." Oysters Nutritious Food. When I received this poster from Washington, D. C, I was seized with a desire to exploit oysters. Their cost was the only thing which held me back. In the municipal market the oysters from Yaqulna Bay sell for 55 cents per pint, against 70 cents for the Olympla oysters from Washington state.

Americans have never appreciated day morning, the department secretary presented a report of the month's work. The report showed a decided change in the employment question, as compared to that of previous years. For the first time In the history of the department, the office is unable to fill present and Increasing demands for hour-work In the homes of women, due to the scarcity of housemaids. There also are many calls for strong women. who are able to do work previously handled by men, as well as numerous calls for women to work in factories. laundries and pressing parlors. Many office positions have been filled by the department, most of which are of stenographic and bookkeeping nature. Of the 246 positions filled during the past month, a large proportion of the work has been of a temporary nature. and all applicants are required to ap pear for a personal interview before being registered in the office. The de pertinent aims to send out only suit' able persons to fill positions. The report led to an interesting dis cussion of the patriotic duty that girls and women owe their country by hold Ing the more modest positions and of doing well the work, which they have undertaken. Two new members were added to the committee, of which Mrs. C. D. Bruun Is chairman and Mrs. A. R, Bean, sec re tary. Those present at the meeting included the two new members, Mrs. George Lawrence and Miss Florence Stack pole, and Mesdames F. A. Klehle, C. A. Bell, R. F. PraeU Franklin Grif fith and Willis Duniway. The employment department asks no fee for services, but will appreciate an opportunity to register applicants for work of various kinds, as the calls greatly exceed the workers now reg istered. see With the aid and co-operation of the local branch of the United States Food Administration, Portland is to have its first war kitchen, to be opened In the domestic science rooms at the Young I Women's Christian Association next I Thursday and Friday afternoons, from to 4 P. M. The purpose of the diet kitchen is to teach the housewives of Portland the easiest and most satisfac tory methods of preparing the new I foods prescribed by the Food Adminis tration along conservation lines. Un der the direction of Miss Ruth Blair. director of the home economics depart ment of the Young Women's Christian Association, certain dishes will be pre pared according to conservation meth ods. Whether classes will engage in emonstration or individual work will be decided upon later. All recipes are to be selected from material published by the Government and approved by W. B. Ayer, local food administrator. There will be no fees charged, although it is expected that the expense of the preparation of the foods will be met by the sale of the prepared foods to students. Further announcements of the war I itchen will be made from the office of the food administration. e e e The membership committee of the Young Women s Christian Association met in the clubrooms of the association uilding Tuesday morning. Reports of the work done by the different sub committees during the past month were most satisfactory. An interesting talk was given by Miss Jontz on the differ- nt activities of the association, par ticularly the club work, which is com paratively a new phase of the associa tion work. see The Wegfaf Club elected new offi cers for the Spring term as follows: Gertrude Cummins, president: Lula Odom, vice-president; Marie Lauter- bach, secretary.

Tripe is very cheap, 10 cents a pound, and there is no Waste. Any dietitian will say that tripe is the most easily digested part of the whole beef. It is the lining of the stomach and so satu rated with the digestive fluids of the animal that it requires less effort to digest in the human stomach. Tripe Iaexpenalve Food. This is the way I prepared the dish of oysters and tripe. A pound of tripe, the honeycombed part Is the most choice and tender? cover with boiling salted water and parboil for 15 minutes. Drain in a strainer and let the cold water run while rinsing thoroughly. Cut it up into dice, the same as for salad pur poses, also mince some celery and an onion, put all together into sauce pan with boiling salted water and let simmer slowly for nearly an hour or until the tripe and vegetables are ten der, then drain, saving the liquor. Put one pint of oysters in a saucepan and let them come to the boil, remove and drain, saving the liquor, and cut the oysters up coarsely. Take three or four tablespoons of mazola corn oil to half cup of flour, let the oil heat, sift in the flour, add a cup of hot milk, the hot oyster juice and enough of the tripe and vegetable liquor to thin the white sauce down to the consistency of a batter. If de sired a pint of milk and the oyster juice alone can be used. Beat vig orously until smooth and velvety, then add the minced oyster, the tripe with its celery and onion. Season with eel ery salt, pepper, paprika, lemon juice and a dash of Worcestershire. Last add the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs, or one whole egg beaten sep arately, pour into baking dish or ram ekins and strew some fresh bread crumbs over the top which have been mixed with a spoon of corn oil and a little salt. Bake in moderate oven for about 15 minutes or until top is gol den brown. Combination Dish Delicious. When served it is difficult to dis tinguish the tripe from the oysters and the flavor of the tripe is com pletely lost in the oyster. In this way a large dish of oysters sufficient for eight or 10 persons can be obtained from one pint. It would make a nice Sunday dinner and the tripe and white sauce could be made the day before and only the mixing together and egg whites to add. Suppose only half the dish was eaten, the next day it can be served as oyster cutlets by adding little more very stiff white sauce and a few fresh bread crumbs, then the mixture molded into the shape of cutlet or chop, dipped into some dry bread crubs and brushed over the out side with oil or melted fat, placed in oikfd baking pan and browned in mod erate oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Served wh a tartar sauce it will be as well received as the first dish.

Parboil large square pieces of tripe, about the size of a soda cracker, for half an hour. Dip these into salted milk, then into dry bread crumbs, place In oiled baking pan, brush over the top with melted fat or oil and bake in a very hot oven for 10 or 15 minutes, or until delicately browned. When the large honeycomb tripe is used these pieces are as tender and white as the breast of a chicken. They make a very nice breakfast or lunch dish and are so cheap fr the light, easily digested, nourishing protein food furnished. Ex cellent for persons of weak digestion. Porpoise Once Popnlar Food. Now that many "have ceased using bacon, calves' liver prepared in the same way saves fat and tastes much better than if fried. The oven must be very hot for best results. Parboiled tripe, cut into strips and simmered in a tomato sauce, to which some onions and a bay leaf are added, makes for variety at moderate cost; when tender, season highly with pap rika, Worcestershire or tabasco sauce. Curried tripe, or tripe and oysters combined as above mode, with one or two teaspoons of curry powder- mixed with the flour for the white sauce, would be a different variation. With the price of meat mounting weekly, the housewife will have to turn her atten tion to parts of the animal hitherto unuaued by her and held cheaply in her estimation, aa well ae all kinds of new and strange sea foods. A few years ago we would have shuddered at the thought of eating whale, shark and dogfish, which is being accepted now gratefully, showing that war. hunger and higrh prices Incline us to new habits of eating. t Porpoise was once very popular as a food and "porpoise pudding" was a state dish during the 15th century in England. Belon, the French naturalist of the 16th century, tells of the foods served at the dinner tables In France at that time, where the crow, the cormorant, the heron, swan and stork were served. Even vultures were eaten and the plump pheasant to a great extent neglected. Peaeok Passes From Menu. The great dish at ancient banquets was the peacock, which we today do not consider particularly good eating. In Shakespeare's time it was served in a pie, the head, richly gilt, being placed at one end of the dish, while the tail was spread out full at the other. It was stuffed with spices and sweet herbs and served on a golden dish. A lady of rank carried it to the table, attended by a train of high-born dames and damsels, and the whole ceremony was accompanied by music. I have received so many telephone calls about the salting away of the lit tle eulachon (smelt) that I am going to try and lull many anxious house keepers who, having salted away their fish, are told by their neighbors they may all spoil unless they resalt them again after 10 or. 12 days, etc. The eulachon is at its peak now. This is the time to buy and put away. They are at their cheapest. Use half as much salt as fish. The rock, stock or coarse ice cream salt is the best kind. Do not wash or clean the fish. Take them as they come from the river or the boxes. Place a layer of the salt in the bottom of the crock, keg or water-tight vessel, then a layer of the fish, and so on until to a 50-pound box of fish from 25 to 30 pounds of salt is used. If a crock is used, fill, leaving enough space for a liberal layer of salt at the top. when the crock cover is the only covering needed. If a keg Is filled fit in a lid and place a weight on it. Do not be afraid of using too much salt, as the fish can only absorb so much and some of it will remain undissolved. Pickled Fish Cheap Food. I kept a crock of fish salted in this manner in the warm cooking room at Powers' since January 1 and up until the present time they are in perfect conui- : tion. If you wish to pickle-some of these for Summer picnics, it is a good wav to salt them in two receptacles. segregating all the small ones for the pickling and saving the large ones for other modes of cooking. Then take out two or three dozen small ones for each batch of pickled fish. Clean them. cut off heads and tails and freshen tor J six to eight hours, place in bottom of steamer, uver uuuuis " i ' i . " 1 ,J to five minutes; remove, place in crock or bowl and pour over them a cold pickling vinegar boiled with assorted spices: a tablespoon of oil added makes it richer. Slice a lemon and a raw onion or two over the top and it is ready for use in a day or two. If a very strong vinegar is used it may be weakened with water. This is the best way to manage if pickled fish are desired. If placed in jars and sterilized long enough to in sure keeping, the cooked product is more like fish chowder. The little fish will not come out whole, as they will if done as indicated. The salting process has toughened the skin and they can be arranged on a platter and garnished with sprigs of parsley and look like a dish of sardines. Every women who has been thrifty enough to put them away will be very grateful for them in the warm Summer days. WELL-KNOWN SPEAKER DUE John Z.
