THESE are chaotio days for the
housekeeper. The old order of
things is turned topsy-turvy. 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

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.

When I received this poster from
Washington, D. C, I was seized with
a desire to exploit oysters. Their cost

There will be no fees charged, although
it is expected that the expense of the

! nor consumed tripe as the Europeans.
I have often thought that if tripe were
as limited ' and expensive as sweet
breads more of it would be consumed.
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.

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.

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.
