TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. DECEMBER *0. 1917- WHEN YOU HAVE FISH. CHRISTMAS GIFTS ! For Young and Old How to Tost and Prepare It and Hew It Should Be Served. AU fish must, of course, i>e strictly fresh. If It is easily pulled from the bones It Is u sure sign the fish is stale. The brightness of the eye Is another test of freshness and one that cannot be remedied artificially. For this reason a purchaser should be suspicious of any fish from which the eyes have been re- moved or fish offered for sale without the head. The skin should be smooth and un wrinkled and the color fresh and clear. Dip in scalding water for a few seconds to remove the scales or skin. Always soak salt fish in salt wuter instead of fresh water. The strong ' taste usually so difficult to destroy will be entirely removed and the fish will be more palatable than when soaked tn fresh water. Fish contain the same kind of nutri ents as other food materials. >Vheu accompanied by bread and butter, po tatoes, green vegetables and fruit, they provide a diet that will supply all the demands of the body. All sorts of fish may be boiled, steamed, baked, plank ed. fried, stuffed, scalloped. served in cream, made Uito ramekins, croquettes, salads, served hot or cold in Jelly, pot ted and pickled. At a conventional dinner fish follows the soup and may I I be served with i>otatoes and cucumber or lettuce salad. At a home dinner it takes the place of meat. Do not serve a sweet or heavy dessert at the close of a fish dinner, as the combination is not good. Coffee may be served, but tea is to be avoided after fish.—Wash ington Star. « IVORY— The largest and best assort ment ever shown in this city. MANICURE SETS—Leather Roll ups in Manicure Sets.

TILLAMOOK GARAGE Ths First Quarantine. From all accounts the custom ot quarantine originated in Venice some where about the beginning of the twelfth century. All merchants and others coming from the eastern coun tries were obliged to remain in the house of St. Lazarus for a period of forty days before they were admitted Into the city. Taking the idea from Venice, other European cities, especial ly port towns, instituted quarantine during seasons of plague and well down into modern times most nations adopt ed the system, applying It when it was deemed necessary.

Sir William Watson has earned the right to be termed Ireland’s poetical champion, although he was born In Yorkshire and la of Yorkshire ancestry on both sides.

Perhaps the biggest artificial light in the world is the 50,009,000 candle pow er light installed at the falls of Niag ara. When this gigantic Installation was made it was claimed to be the nearest approach to real sunshine ever devised by man, and that may be true. But it is interesting to ascertain, if possible, how much it fell short of the actual output of light by our great luminary, and. strangely euough, there are figures in existence which enable a comparison to be made. Yet it may be stated at once that these figures are so stupendous as to leave the hu man mind absolutely- “in the dark.” Professor Young made a calculation some years ago, based upon careful and repeated experiments, of the total quantity of sunlight given out by our sun, and he found It to be a quan tity represented by candles running to twenty-eight figures, candle power be ing the official unit. How many lights equal to the Niag ara Installation would it require to match Dame Nature's big installation which appears above the horizon so regularly day by day? More big fig ures! It would require 81,500,000,000.- 000,000,000 lights Just as powerful as the biggest man has accomplished "on his own.” So even Uncle Sam will have to try again.

This Shows How Puny Is ths World’s Biggest Artificial Light From time immemorial China has been called the Flowery Kingdom, a name given by the Chinese themselves and singularly suited to the land which for ages was like an oasts of flowers of the spirit in the world desert of bar barism. In this oasis grew the arts ot the bronze and stone worker, of the silk maker and embroiderer, of the pot ter, of the painter on silk, of the poet, philosopher and ethical devotee. But China was not named the Flowery Kingdom because of these flowers ot tl>e mind. Her flora is one of the most luxuriant In the world. It is estimated to consist of some twelve thousand spe cies, nine thousand of which are kuown and one-half of which are Indigenous and not found elsewhere. Such being the flora of China, it is readily understood that horticulture and gardening early became a skilled and honored profession.—Scribner’s.
