CODFISH AND RICE TOGETHER

New Method of Preparing Meal That Is Such a Universal , Favorite. Prepare the rice by covering a quarter cupful with two cups cold water. Put over the fire, stirring occasionally while heating to prevent sticking. Boil five minutes, drain on a sieve and rinse with cold water. This makes the rice beautifully white and clear, with the grains separate. Return to the fire in a double boiler, add one and a quarter cups milk, and one cup salt codfish, previously soaked over night. Cook until the rice is -nearly done and the nillk absorbed. Put in a baking dishing, adding one-half cup white sau.ce. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, add bits of butter, and bake about 20 twenty minutes, or until brown on top and well heated through. Make the white sauce thus: Melt in a saucepan one tablespoon butter, add one tablespoon flour; mix to smooth paste, add gradually half cup milk.
