However, women are surely, even

Some Lenton Recipes
Here are some good recipes for the
cooking of fish, which will be a pop-
ular dish in many homes during the
next few weeks:
Baking Whole Fish
Fish weighing 3 to 0 pounds. Oil
or rneited fat. Finely sifted bread
crumbs.
Prepare the fish by cutting off
head, tail and fins, then splitting it
down at the backbone like a finnan
haddie so that it will lie flat open.
Oil a baking pan and place fish in it,
skin side down. Sprinkle well with
salt, then strew all over with finely
sifted bread crumbs Non. sprinkle
over it oil or melted fat. Place in a
hot oven of 500 degrees. Add no wat-
er. Allow to bake quickly until wet'
browned. Three pound of fish take
15 to 20 minutes and six pound fish
25 to 30 minutes. The heat may be
reduced for the larger fish towards
the end of cooking time.

ENFORCED REST

t was noted that the greater gain
weight was made by a boy who,
account of a broken limb, was

Idren treated in hospitals or coeval-
ent homes, also made considerable

eel at that the rest, which in these
es woes taken of necessity, was an
sntial factor in the children's gain
weight.

a poorly nourished individual.
When a group of physically sub-
normal children, are given additional
rest, usually through lying down for
an hour after the noon meat and a
regular earlier bedtime, the physical
improvement which takes place in a

Neither rest nor food will meet the

It is from general care rather than
from attention to one or two item

Fish Fillets.
2 to 3 pounds fish fillets, cup of
milk, 1 tbsp. salt, finely sifted bread
crumbs. Oil or melted fat, .
Cut the fillets into portions three
to the ppund and place, on 'the 'ex-
treme left hand. Next a bowl con-
taining the' heavily salted milk. Then
a pan containingthe finely sifted
bread crumbs. Lastly an oiled bak-
ing pan for the cooking and a cup
containing oil or Melted fat, with a
pastry brush or swab.
With the left hand put a piece of
fish into bowl of milk, then toss it
into the pan of crumbs. Now, with
the rigght .hand cover 'the e f
sh
crumbs and place in the baking pan.
Keep the left hand for the wet work
and the right hand for the dry work.
In this way the crumbs can be al!
used without becoming dampened,
which would happen at once if the
hands were interchanged.
With the portions of fish laid side
by side in the pan sprinkle each piece
with a little oil or melted fat from
the brush or swab. This is the only
fat used in the cooking. It is well to
know that the same results are not
obtained if the fish is rolled in flour,
cornmeal or cracker crumbs, for
there is no immersion of fat to brown
the covering as in deep fat frying. It
will be found that any of these other
mediums will be browned only in
splotches wherever the fat has touch.
ed them, while the bread crumbs, with
the addition of a little oil or fat, will
be uniformly browned,
The next requirement is a very
het oven, 500 to 000 degrees F., when
there is much fish to be cooked, which
it should do in. 10 minutes. Do not
be afraid of burning it and never add
any water to fish conked in this
quick -oven way. If tise heat 'has been
sufficient when the fish is taker
from the oven the pan will be quite
dry underneath the fish; each piece
will be beautifully browned on all
sides and may be easily removed to
a hot platter, with the aid of a pan-
cake turner, unbroken and perfect.

Fish Fillets with Dressing on Top
2 lbs. fillets, 1 quart of stale bread
mamba as for stuffing, 1 teaspoon
mixed poultry spices, thyme, marjor-
am, summer savory, etc, 1-2 cup of
colourlessly fried onions, oil or but-
ter to mix dressing Salt and pepper.
Oil a glass or enamel baking dish
suitable for table service. Place
fillets in same and sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Mix the materials for
dressing together, then strew them
over the top of the fillets one to two
inches deep.
PIace in hot oven, 500 degrees, 15
minutes. For the first 10 minutes
invert another pan over the fish to
prevent the dressing browning too
rapidly, removing the cover the last'
5 minutes. Dressing should be a fine',
shade of golden brown. Serve, if
possible, from the same dish in which
it is baked, or cut into square serv-
ing pieces and remove to a hot plat-
ter with the aid of pancake turner,

TWILIGHT
I asked the Lord of the Twilight
From whence come all his dreams,
With their wings like the wings of
the morning
And their laugh like the laughter
sof streams.
And he answered, "The dreams are
my children;
They wander all day in the light,
But they come from the mountains
and meadows
To rest aie my heart at night"

PETITION
Because of deeds I might have done,
And wouldn't—
Because sof thoughts I might have
thought
And eouldn't—
Because of words I often said,
To sadden
When there was much I might have
wrought,
To gladden—
Because of what I wished to be,
But have not reached my goal—
Lord, pity me!
Then, save my soul.

TRUTH

With beauty, and the grey bowl of

Thus fillest all 'things golden to the

Giving to all men what they labor for
My little cup of metal dint
Can yet hold a burning coal:
Cast Truth into my soul.

TIME FOR GOD
I have no time
For God today.
Each day I fill
With many tasks;
I sweep and clean,
And cook until
The day is done.
And then for fun
A play I choose, '
Or read the news;
Or just sit still,
The time
tokill.
I have no time
For God today.
A vision came,
A vision fair,
Of One who stood
Beside my chair,
And followed all
The long day through,
While tasks were done
And during fun.
And when at last
The day was o'er,
And all was clean
And sweet once more,
I knew I'd time
For 'God this day.

MARCH IS A TEASE
In March
When coaxing breezes blow
And springtime fancies
Flower in snow,
I budge not from the hearth.
instead I go
To stir aflame
The dying embers of the winter's fire
And take a new book from the shelf
So well I know
The chill that lies
In March's laughing April eyes
That I mistrust her siren song
As through the streets she sweeps
along.
But when she rattles at my window-
pane
And sings for the her loud refrain,
I turn my head
To watch just how
She conjures blossoms on the naked
bough.
Then back to the bookshelf
Goes the book,.
Into the firelight
One last look=—
And I sin off to follow her!

Science Monitor.

FEAR OF SPRING
Winter, I ase afraid to let you go!
Only within your bosom is there
peace,
Calm of dull skies, and silence soft
as snow
Covering the heart like lambs' un,
sullied fleece.
The bitter beauty of a barren tree
Bewilders me with rapture; can I
bear
Hills white with dogwood far as eye
can see?
The 'old disquiet on the warming air?
Gazing upon a gray and fallow field
I am besieged by loveliness enough,
Leaving no strength for April, and
no shield
Against a jonquil, terrible as love,
The fear of spring is sharp within
my breast
As any arrow from a hunter's bow.
Stay the south wi
nd•thatwill nottet
me rest—
Winter, I am afraid to let you go

A HILL IS ONLY COMMON SOD
A. hill is only common sod
Hungry after God.
She will not let one shadow lie
Between her body and the 'sky;
She gardens in the dewy hours
Among the sunrise flowers,
And pours out draughts of liked
snow
For beggam'ed 'little 'fields below.
She nurtures grave young families
Of strong and holy trees
And sets the throats 'of birds aflame
To hymn 'one only hallowed Name.
Oh, proudly draws she down to rest
The night against her breast,
And leans through latticed shadow
fez
To pluck 'herself a loosened star,
A hill has splendid quiet scorn
For all things valley -born,
And yet is only common sod
Hungry after God.

HIS SMILE
You 'may meet him on the highway,
You may find him in the square;
In the field or in the office,
You may find him anywhere,
He's a type that's not uncommon
And he's maybe fat or thin . .
He's the chap that's always ready
With a wide, infectious grin.
He's the pleasant antithesis
Of bewilderment and gloom,
And the day seems sort of brighter
When he walks into the room,
And when e'er he gives You greeting
Or remarks upon the day,
Well, you somehow know he means it
And go happy on your way.
Don't decry him as a nuisance,
As a silly, grinning clown;
Chances are his wealth of trouble
Would put most good fellows down.
He has merely learned the lesson
As he's tramped the road along
That the world seems far more pleas-
ant
To the chap who hums a song.
Smiles and grins will never harm you,
Honest laughter won't induce
Any startling complications
In a man, so what's the use!
Yet they'll make you feel that life is
After all a game worth while,
And you'll find new doorways opened
When at last you've learned to
smile.

I ASK
I do not ask' for life's most costly
things,
Nor scramble for the jewels fortune
brings,
Nor yearn for painted hours of fitful
glee,
Nor yet for fame far-flung from sea
to sea;
I only ask for mine a blue -gold clay,
The dear enchantment of a woodland
way,
lily own a kingdom fair and azure-
rimmed,
A day tnith autumn magic overbrite-
med,
And just we two—my high -bred horse
and I
Skimming the plain and clearing
hedges high,
Within our veins an exultation rare,
A wild exuberance beyond compare;
0, Destiny, one promise I would ask,
When all is done, each homely earth-
ly task,
When I tread in lone years the sun-
set trail,
With weary, earth -worn feet, and
eyes that fail,
In heaven's vastness may I find a
stall,
And know my comrade, dear, awaits
my call.

ODE TO THE SUN
O Sun! the gloomy pall o'er nature
spreading
Is rent and scattered by thy mighty
hand
And earth, the sleep of death no
longer dreading,
Awakes to new life at thy command
The mountain topsuthy glad approach
proclaiming
With tints of gold bid nature to re-
joice;
The eastern skies, with myriad colors
flaming,
Join in the chorus with unfailing
voice.
The plains and valleys, once in dark-
ness brooding,
Welcome thy coming, as the pearly
light,
With gladsome beams their depths of
darkness flooding,
Scatters the shadows of the dying
night.
0 Sun! thou symbol of the Light
Eternal,
Brighten the path of mortals here
below
Until that day when rays of light su-
pernal
On everlasting brightness shall be,
stow. —A. Anthony.
WEE MODERNS
The babies of the present day are
raised upon a system—
You count their calories of food, and
on a card you list 'eat;
They're spanked upon a schedule and
petted by the clock,
And you mustn't ever bounce titem
and you musn't ever rock.
Physicians choose their style of dress
and fix their hours of sleep,
And tell you when they ought to
laugh, and when titey ought to weep.
Their every eccentricity is catalogued
and filed,
For the modern type of baby is a
scientific child!
Time was that Mother raised them
in a rather casual way,
With a bit of help from Graddma—
but that isn't done today;
The bringing up of babies is a far, •.
from simple art,
And you need a dozen volumes and a
blueprint and a chart,
A clinical thermometer, a stethoscope,
a scale,
Some test tubes and a dictaphone that
registers each wail.
The modern mother's regimen is very
far from mild,
For the baby of the present is a
scientific child!
Oh, yes, I am describing the modem
baby now!
Oh, the old folks sniff about it and
the jesters jest a lot,
But the modern type of baby is a
healthy little tot.
Ile may be robbed of baby talk, and
ninny pats and kisses;
But there's a heap of colic and other
ills he misses,
And in spite of all the sentiment that
in our cosmos lurks,
There isn't any question that the
modern method works—
For the scientific baby is a husky
little tad,
A. credit to the Doctor, the Mother
and the Dad!
