T, asks: "When is "fish. cooked, and is the nutritive value lost in over-cooking?" Answer: Fish requires a short .cook- ing period. When fish separates or flakes it is done.

When I was a boy we had an elderly gentleman whom all seemed to think must have Indian blood in his veins he was so dark skinned and yet who claimed Lancashire as his native heath. In times of temper he would bawl his words out in a meaningless jumble of profanity but all would be topped by a creamy icing of Lancashire dialect, At other times he had a normal Can- adian accent. - To the whole neighborhood he was known as "Uncle Charley". He had at various times worked for almost everybody in the country. He was not given to gossip and I fancy had he wanted. to, possibly he could have given us all an earful about our var- ious neighbors. His only comment would be something. like this . "Mrs. Higgins is a great hand ,with a lemon pie. I always says if you find a woman who knows- 'ow to make a good lemon pie, not too tart and not too sweet y'ou've got a good-. woman." Those for whom he had little or no use he would designate in the follow- ing manner, "Mrs, Smith is a kindi woman in her way but she's no' 'an d for cookin'. always says that a woman who can't boil potatoes with- out buratin' em shouldn't be a cook at all," Oswald was a character I picked up in town one Saturday night' during a particularly. busy harvest season, Oswald was a man who had to think things out for himself and he usually had to think them out in great detail and it took him a long time to get his thinking started and stopped with the result that it was, easier to do a thing yourself rather than tell :him to do it.

Badly stained leather may be clean- ed with Oxalic acid solution (2 tsps. to 1 cup water) — remember it is poisonous. Do leather all over Use paste in 2 thin coatings. If article is brown, ,use brown shoe paste. Do not use treatment often. 2. Keep heavy leather shoes in con- dition by applying layers of dubbin grease. (Goose grease is excellent.) Use palm of hand to smoth in grad- ually. 3. Do not use anything on hand bags which will soil your clothes. Ord- inary leather cases, such as utility cases, may be given a thin coat of varnish or shellac. 4. It is advisable to keep patent leather bags or shoes for warm spring or summer days — patent leather cracks easily in cold. • 5. Dark leather shOes may be treated with a thin coat of wax. 8. If fine leather articles get very wet, press into shape while wet (or wet again and press into shape). Then pad, wipe thoroughly and let dry at room temperature — do not put near heat. * THE QUESTION BOX MrS. K. J. asks; "Can frozen fish be put in pan and baked immediately?"
