' "FEED THE BRUTE," gentle lady, after he's had a tiring day at. the office. But tired hubbies often have weary palates. Then oh! for a tasty winter dish to tempt the jaded appetite. Try salmon and parsley sauce, served hot. Ask your grocer for Golden Net (rich red) Cohoe salmon. Pine Tree is a cheaper reliable brand. All grocers and stores. —2
