meat. The con- , netting tissues of fish are more gelatinous and very tender, ' therefore they soften quickly under the application of heat

Bi

Most fish would taste l»etter, he more nourishing and palatable if cooked about half as long as the average cook cooks it. This does not rnern that any fish should ever be served undercooked. Europeans and Asiatics i use fish more freely than we Americans do. and they cook it much more deliciously, with highly seasoned : sauces, dressings and stuffings which add to and bring out the flavor of the fish. They take especial care not to destroy the flavor itself by long, slow cooking that toughens the fibers, dries up the natural juices and loses the flavor altogether. There ar® to ninny ways <>f serving fish acceptably; here are but a few: Raked, broiled or fried, molded, pickled, smoked, spiced In chowders and broths. . Fish should be served more often than once a week, and that on Friday, often one is able to get much better fish any other day in the week and at a lower price, as many women think because j-'riday is regarded as fish day the tl<h will be better, when the contrary Is true more often, as the market man finds it hard to supply the demand on that day and will buy and store fish for the Friday market. If the housewife would patronize her nearest fish dealer impartially throughout the week, as she, does the grocer and baker as well as the butcher, she would not Only help herself but would find that the market could afford to lower its price. Naturally the man who has a good fish trade onlyone day in the week will make as much profit on that one day as possible. Fresh Trout—-In camp nothing in the food line can compare with fried trout- or baked in the coals of a camp fire. When frying lay the fresh, nicely cleaned and dried trout into a hot pan with plenty of butter; brown first on one side, then on the other, adding salt and pepper while cooking. When the fish is brown it I's ready to serve. Special Good Things. Fortunately we are mu ait alike in our tastes. Food of which one is es-

peeially fond will not be at all ac- ‘ ceptable to his neighbor. This diversity of tastes gives as many dishes, and he is indeed hard to suit who is not

(Frwparvd by the National Oeowraphlc Society. Washington. D C-> ' BENGAL will ever remain the land of the tiger to the small boy, but It is the land of jnte and tea to those who think in economic terms. This large province at the eastern extremity of India straddles the northernmost point of the Bay of Bengal, and stretches northward to .the peaks of the Himalayas. Thus it has two totally different sections, the low and often marshy plains of the south, and the rough hills and mountains of the north. It is separated from Tibet only by the diminutive native Indian states of Sikkim and Bhutan. Bengal is slightly larger than Kansas with as many Inhabitants as are found in New York. Pennsylvania. Illinois, Ohio, Texas and Michigan combined —two-fifths as many as in the entire United States. More than 80 different languages are spoken among the human horde, not to mention the various dialects. That language in India changes dvery ten miles, perhaps, is not far wrong. The narrow northern extremity of Bengal resembles that of Idaho, and. like our western state. Bengal spreads out as It stretches southward. Below the northern neck the border line of Bengal zigzags in all directions. Bengal’s gateway Is Its most homely feature. Those familiar with the mbrky rivers of the province know when the coast is near, even before land is sighted, for the beautiful | Indigo-blue water of the Bay of Ben- i gal begins to take on a brownish hue. i due to the silt that is brought down i from the north by the Ganges and a labyrinth of rivers and creeks that pierces’ the coast line. Between the banks of the numerous channels are swampy peninsulas covered with ma-laria-infested jungle land in which roam the famous Bengal tigers, a few remaining elephants, and other wild animals. These wilds and the waterlogged lowlands just north of them are called sundarbans. Farming In Rowboats. When the Ganges goes on Its annual rampage and overflows its banks for 2W miies from its mouth, the sundarbans are almost totally submerged. The less-flooded area is planted In rice and it Is an interesting sight to see “rowboat farmers” tending their submarine crops. When the water subsides, it leaves a fertile layer of earth on the lowlands and In the river valleys. making the southern Bengal regions prosperous agriculturally. Jute, rice, wheat and many other products thrive tn the newly fertilized earth. While the Ganges adds much to Bengal's prosperity, sometimes Its roaming disposition causes real estate tangles as does that of our own Rio Grande. It tears away its banks and carries with it the soft alluvial soil of the south, often changing its course. As a result an owner on the east bank may wake up one morning to find the river a mile across the plaint while another on the west bank may find his land inundated and his estate lost As a result a special branch of jurisprudence has arisen in Bengal to adjudicate such difficulties. Calcutta, capital of Bengal and the largest city of India, lies about 80 miles up the Hooghly. Since it is the only large port at the head of the Bay of Bengal and is easily reached from the interior by numerous canals, rivers. and railroads, Assam and neighboring provinces also use it as their port. Therefore the Hooghly is filled with shipping. The passenger bound for Calcutta Is not sorry, for the odd little native junks and large oceangoing vessels absorb his attention from the ugly marshes and thickets on shore. The first evidence of human existence as Calcutta is neared is the appearance of a few houses and then the tall smokestacks of jute mills that loom up above low brick buildings, where jute sacking is made in enormous quantities, and shipped to al! parts of the world. Much of ft is used tn the United States, particularly in handling our farm products. Little does the cotton picker of the South realize that the more cotton he picks, the more mouths he helps to feed in Bengal, for the cotton-bale wrappers are usually made of jute. Likewise the. farmer cultivating his potato fields, does not realize, per-

Dreaded by Navigators One of the ancient proverbs of the SclHy Isles Is that for every Scillonlan that dies a natural death the sea takes nine. This is because the seas about the Isles are sown thickly with “the devil’s granite teeth."

haps, that the size of his crop help* determine how many natives are to be employed, and that the least failure of the crop affects the jute mill workers. Potatoes are.xin the large part, handled in jute sacks. More than $125,000,000 worth of jute products" are exported from Calcutta annually. Docks of the Hooghly. A little farther up the Hooghly, the docks which stretch ten miles along the river front come into view. Some of them are the finest in the world, equipped with the latest devices for handling cargoes. They are filled with articles of commerce, and roar with activity. Jute, rice and tea appear to be the staple products for shipment The tea exports from Bengal help India to keep its reputation as the chief tea exporting country in the world. Perhaps that reputation is, tn part, due to the fact that Hindus and Mohammedans are not tea-sippers and nearly the entire production is available for foreign markets. Calcutta includes Calcutta proper, the trading center. Maidan, the residential section, and Howrah, on the opposite side of the Hooghly. the manufacturing center and terminus of three large railroads. Together they are called Greater Calcutta and have a population greater than that of Detroit. In sharp contrast to the commercial and industrial districts. Maidan is a place of elegance with beautiful parks and lakes, and fine residences and government buildings. While thousands of Indian natives who seldom er joy a square meal throng the streets of other section* Maiden's beautiful boulevards, are paraded by the wealthy and traversed by luxurious automobiles driven by liveried chauffeurs. In the center of Maidan is a park that is one of the few breathing places in the vicinity of Calcutta. It ranges from three-quarters to a and a quarter in width and about two miles in length. The palace of the governor of Bengal is at the north end. This is a mansion of white stone.-twice as large as the American White House and much more magnificent and impressive. Here the governor of Bengal presides over the destiny of his province with all the pomp and splendor of a European monarch, partly for his personal comfort and partly to impress upon the ignorant subjects the dignity and qx>wer of the British. Maidan’s Dress Parade. New York has Its Fifth avenue dress parades and so does Maidan, with the Indian contingent far more rich and colorful. The Maidan parade sometimes includes the viceroy when be happens to be in Calcutta. Then there are other high government officials, rich rajahs of the several hundred native Indian states in their gorgeous robes and jewels, and Anglo-Indians, as the offspring of British fathers and Indian mothers prefer to be called. Calcutta owes its beautiful government buildings to its distinction as the capital dty of India prior to 1912 when the seat of. government was removed to Delhi. 2 Nearly all Bengal is a flat fertile plain from the Sundarbans to the foothills of the Himalayas. This foothill country Is reached after a day and night of rough train riding from Calcutta. A narrow-gauge railroad is then taken to reach Bengal's roof, Darjeeling, perched 7.000 feet up among Himalayan peaks. Darjeeling’s reception committee consists of ah army of porters who take the place of express trucks. They are not men. but Tibetan women who are famous for their strength. Most of Darjeeling’s inhabitants are Bengalese. Nepalese. Bhutanese and Tljtetans. Ail the native womqp seem i to try to “outjungle” one another In wearing ornaments. Even those drbo look as if they had never had a square meal are bedecked with earrings, anklets, bracelets, and necklaces of silver, glass or turquoise. Darjeeling Is also a trading post between the mountain people and the Bengalese of the lowlands. Sunday is the favorite trading day. Foreigners bring skins, tea. salt. wool, musk and eattle to the Darjeeling markets and return to their countries with ivory, indigo, cotton goods, dried fruits and sugar.

I = ■■■., — GETTING FACTS ON APPLE PEST I (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The codling moth is a troublesome i insect enemy of apples, prevalent in most of the apple-growing legions. A I special appropriation for meeting the j situation in Kansas was made available to the bureau of entomology Jiily 1, 1926. but in order to cover an entire season work was begun in cooperation with the Kansas Agricultural college during the spring. Damage was especially severe in Kansas and the Ozarks during the preceding season, and it is hoped that these studies will throw much light on the codling-moth problem throughout this region. Field experiments in control are under way at the Bentonville (Ark.) laboratory, which include the testing of arsenicals applied in various dosages and at various times, and of ovicidal and larvieidal materials. Questions relating to the quantity of spray residue on fruit at harvest time are being studied at the Yakima (Wash.) field station. Tests of a large series of baits for moths in the orchard and in packing sheds are also being made. An apple ferment has been found to be the best bait material of those tried, though a ferment of molasses ami yeast is also good. None of the essential oils tested shows much promise. At the Sligo (Md.) laboratory the feeding habits of the codling-noth lar- : vae are being studied, especially those just hatched. The development of insecticides other than arsenical" is being attempted. Variety of Apple Trees Changed by Top-Working “Apple tree varieties may easily be Changed if the grower wishes to follow directions and use a title care in his work,” says Prof. G. W. Peck of the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca, •‘The undesirable Ben Davis may be top-worked with some variety of real quality, such as Mclntosh or Spy. Grafting may also be used to get another variety of fruit on an isolated pluiq or pear which does nOt bear because of lack of pollination. ‘‘Any one may graft fruit successfully if he will take well-matured one-year-old terminal growths from known bearing trees, keep the scions dormant. graft when growth is just starting. and be sure that the growing or cambium tissues of the stock and the Scion come in contact so as to insure a union.” Failures of grafts may often be laid to the neglect of the grower to be sure about this union, and another . important point is the careful, placing of wax over all cut surfaces Immediately after the graft is placed. This is to keep the cut from drying out. For best results, scions should be set within a few days at a time when the first leaves of the tree become from a quarter to half an inch long. Warm weather should be selected for the job. Parasite of Gypsy Moth The Department of Agriculture has recently introduced into the United States a parasite of the gypsy moth which Is particularly promising. This insect is called Compsilura concinnata Meigen. It lives on about !•*) host insects. It has now been studied for eight years by experts of the Department of Agriculture, and these authorities feel that the insect will prove of great benefit. It will not only check the spread of insects of the kinds it was intended to ctfetrol. but it has also shown ability to combat other dangerous insects in this country.

Help Kidneys By Drinking More Water ! Taka Balts to Flush Kidneys and i Help Neutralize Irritating Acids Kidney and bladder irritations often result from acidity, says a noted authority. The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass ft on to the bladder, where It may remain to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up' an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread; the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse: again, there is difficulty in voiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they can’t control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very paiflful, this is often one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of .lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonfttl in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act normal again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, cpmbined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by acid irritation.
