Some Lenten Dishes. 
Boiled Salt Mackerel.—Wash the fish 
well in warm (not hot) water and put 
to soak over night in cold water with 
the skin side down. Next morning lay 
the fish on a platter and set it in a long, 
deep pan of boiling water; use your fish 
kettle if you have one. and steam the 
fish for 25 minutes. Drain the fish 
from the water, slip it on to another 
heated dish and dress with melted but¬ 
ter, a little lemon juice and minced 
parsley, or serve with tomato sauce. 
Clam Fritters.—Provide for four, or 
proportionate to rule, one pint of clams, 
drain the liquor and set aside. Re¬ 
move the tough strings, wash and drain 
and set aside. Have three cups of Hour 
prepared with baking powder well sifted 
in. Beat two eggs together, add one 
tablespoon of warmed butter, and beat 
again; add the clam juice, drained, 
warmed and seasoned, and a cup of 
good milk. Then add flour to make a 
consistent batter. Warm and chop the 
clams slightly and stir in well. Fry in 
enough butter or dripping to turn 
nicely. They should be as light as

feathers. Keep on a hot plate and serve. 
Codfish Supreme.—Shred fine and 
free from all bone and stringy fiber 
some codfish. Freshen to taste bv soak¬ 
ing. Drain and press out all the water. 
To a cup of the well-pressed fish add 
five fresh eggs. Beat together until 
they are well mixed. Have a skillet or 
griddle moderately hot, with a good 
spoonful of dripping in. If not that, use 
butter. Drop by spoonfuls. Let cook 
until they will turn the same as pan¬ 
cakes. They will cook in about the 
same time as pancakes 
Breaded Mackerel.—Soak one salt 
water, or better, milk and water. In the 
mackerel over night in lukewarm 
morning drain, wipe dry and brush both 
sides with melted butter. Roll it in 
dried bread crumbs, slightly salted and 
peppered. Have ready one beaten egg 
or egg yolk, and dip mackerel in this, 
then roll it again in crumbs. Fry in a 
little hot dripping or lard, and lay it 
on strips of buttered toast. 
Baked Salmon.—Pour liquid off a 
can of salmon and pick free from bones. 
Mix together two eggs, one cup of 
bread crumbs, one tablespoon of butter; 
add salmon, season with salt and pepper. 
Bake one hour in greased bowl set in 
pan of water. Serve with egg sauce. 
This is a well-seasoned white or cream 
sauce to which is added chopped hard- 
boiled egg. 
Steamed Salmon.—Procure fresh fish 
if possible. If not, order a fiat can of 
salmon, usually called salmon steak. 
Cut round the side of the can just be¬ 
low the top, so that the contents when 
turned out will preserve their shape. 
Place in a steamer over boiling water 
for 20 minutes; then, holding the hot 
can in a thick cloth, cover the top and 
drain off the liquor. Now carefully in¬ 
vert on a hot platter and slowly lift off 
the can. Completely mask the fish with 
a portion of egg sauce, sprinkle with a 
little finely chopped parsley or encircle 
with a border of olives and toasted 
croutons. 
Baked Mackerel.—After two fish have 
been thoroughly freshened by -soaking 
in fresh water six hours, rinse them and 
wipe dry, then squeeze lemon juice 
over the fresh side. Lay one fish on a 
fish tin placed in a baking pan, cover 
with a dressing made of one pint of 
bread crumbs seasoned with one table¬ 
spoonful of butter, one-half teaspoonful 
of salt, a saltspoonful of pepper and a 
tablcspoonful of minced parsley; put the 
other fish on this dressing, place in oven 
and baste with melted butter and hot 
water. When well browned remove to 
a hot platter without disturbing the 
layers and cover the top with bread 
crumbs moistened with butter, and 
brown. Garnish with parsley and lemon. 
The Rural Patterns. 
The girl’s frock shown in No. 5882 
is a very useful model, and can be 
varied to meet the requirements of 
either cotton or woolen goods. The 
dress is made with a body lining on 
which the tucked portions are arranged. 
The sleeves are of moderate size fin¬ 
ished with roll-over cuffs and the skirt 
is five gored, laid in backward turn¬ 
ing plaits. The quantity of material re¬ 
quired for the medium size (12 years) 
is (554 yards 24, 5J4 yards 32 or 4'Rj 
yards 44 inches wide, 6 yards of wide 
braid and soutache according to width 
used. The pattern 5882 is cut in sizes 
for girls of 8, 10, 12 and 14 years of 
age; price 10 cents. 
A simple and comfortable suit for 
boys is shown in No. 5S88. The suit 
consists of the blouse and the knicker¬ 
bockers. The blouse is tucked at the 
front to give the wide box plait effect 
and includes moderately full sleeves 
that are tucked at their lower edges. 
It is drawn up at the lower edge by 
means of elastic inserted in a hem. The 
knickerbockers are of the regulation 
sort and also are finished with hems 
at their lower edges, in which clastic is 
inserted to regulate the size. The quan¬ 
tity of material required for the medium 
size (8 years) is yards 27, 254 
yards 44 or 1?4 yard 52 inches wide. 
The pattern 5888 is cut in sizes for boys 
of 4, 6, 8 and 10 years of age; price 10 
cents. 
Red Checker Men 
Float the red checkers from 
your checker-board in a bowl 
of water and you will know 
why blood is red. Blood has 
millions and millions of little 
red wheels floating in a clear 
fluid. The professor calls them 
red corpuscles. Well, 
Scott’s Emulsion 
makes red corpuscles. These 
little red wheels grow in the 
bone marrow. SCOTT’S 
EMULSION contains a power 
which feeds and puts new life 
into the bone marrow of pale 
people.

Climatic conditions which surround him. 
ARE YOU PLEASANTLY LOCATED? 
Aro you shut in by the ice and snow of a rigor¬ 
ous winter, with naught but a cheerless sky to 
gaze upon? What of your lands now? Covered 
with snow? How about your stock? Have to lie 
kept housed and fed? 
Tiie farmers in our territory are plowing,their 
stock grazing on the hillsides, and in the famous 
Manatoo section growers are shipping their pro¬ 
ducts to Northern markets, receiving remark¬ 
able prices for same due to the season. 
Our lands are just as fertile as yours, produce 
just as much and at a time when prices are the 
best. It’s a duty you owe yourself and family to 
look into this. 
CLIMATE IS A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR 
in connection witli the profits, as well as pleas- 
are, to lie derived from jour location. 
Wouldn’t you like to he pleasantly situated, 
surrounded by climatic conditions which permit 
work to lie carried on tho entire year, and where 
tho struggle for existence against tho elements 
of a frozen North is not known? 
The climate m the six States traversed by our 
line is unsurpassed anywhere, and the profits 
being derived by those who only a few years ago 
were battling with the rigors of winter in a 
northern location is evidence of tho value of our 
lands. Do you expect to remain where you are 
and keep up the struggle? Why not come down 
into southern sunshine and ho pleasantly located 
while at the same time you are deriving big 
profits from from your crops?
