If you oil the fish instead of the pan, chances are that the fish will not stick to the pan so readily. A bit of flour or cornmeal on the fish after oiling helps prevent it from sticking, too.

When making croquettes, they will handle more easily and taste better if made several hours in ad vance of frying. Chill thoroughly. Peace of Mind Doctor—“This is a sad case, very sad, indeed.

American livestock producers lost more than $25,000 in 1949 be cause of waste meat resulting from bruised animals. Pictured above is the carcass of a hog which was condemned because of bruises. long. Meat waste from dead animals } amounted to 14,310,468 pounds, with a value of $4,472.871. Losses result ing from bruises and crippled ani-| mals accounted for the remainder. In order to combat this loss, edu cational programs have been in augurated by the government, agri cultural colleges and meat packers, pointing to the bruise and injury losses which are revealed when ani- | mals are dressed in the packing plants. Many terminal markets have de- I veloped comprehensive livestock safety programs. These programs urge greater care in the handling of livestock from the time they leave the farm until they are mark eted.
