Stir 1 tablespoon of flour with milk, and thicken with this 1 qt. of hot milk, as for gravy. Add to this, while hot, 2/3 cup of butter, 1 teaspoon chopped onion, and a pinch of red pepper, 1/2 a teaspoon of sage. Drain all the oil from a can of salmon, and remove bones.

This recipe will answer for all kinds of salt fish. - Mrs. Ida Butler, 907 N. Franklin St., Chicago, 111.
