They offer R. little variation from the usual roasted method. Fried Duck Use equal parts of butter and shortening in an iron skillet. Roll halves of duck (or goose that has been cut up) in seasoned flour. and brown. turning often. Never let it get "crusty" like fried chicken. Don't have the fat too hot. Just before taking from the atove, put half 1 cup of cold water in the skillet and close the lid down quickly. The steam will tenderiae the birds and improve the flavor. Baked Duck or Goon If the fowl is skinned then spread lightly with melted butter. roll in seasoned flour, and bake. covered, in a hot oven until tender. Ifvyou wish to stuff the duck or goose. use sage. onion. breed. crumbs. butter. salt and pepper and fill with stuffing. cover with aluminum foil and bake until tender. smothered buck or Goose Dredge each piece with flour. sea- son heavily .nnd brown quickly in a skillet in which you have melted equal parts of butter and vegetable oil. or fat. As soon as each piece is browned sufficiently. place it in 9. deep baking dish or master in which there is a cup of boiling. salted water. As soon as the last piece is in the pan, cover it tightly and place in 1 moderate over (350 degrees) and leave for at least an hour.

A Coma -Can Be Fatal To Diabetic Patient DIABHIO come is the terror of all diabetics. Before medics! science made in- sulin available. thid was the most common -cause of death smonl young diabetics. With insulin reed- ily available. however, the diabetic coms is neither as frequent nor as dangerous so it was formerly. But without insulin treatment. a coma usually causes death within s few days. causes for Conan Probably the most common causes for diabetic c ma are the failure to take '.sufflc ent insulin or the failure to stick to the prescribed diet. Infections such as influenza. or even tonallitla, might nlao be n contributing factor. if there is an infection. insulin. whether that prpduced by the body, or that in- jected medically cannot work as efficiently as it normally would. The symptoms of disbetic poms develop slowly over 1. period of hours or even days. The victim will probably have an abdominal pain, become na us, vomit and be constipated. Breathing will become difficult, the person will become drowsy and might have a fever. Appetite is lost, and urine is passed lean frequently than usual. The pulse becomes thin and rapid and the blood pressure will fall. The skin will be dry. Confusion Results Unless medical help arrives im- mediately. the patient is likely to become dazQd and confused. With- out administration of quick-acting regular insulin, he probably will lose consciousness. Now, if you are a diabetic, and begin feeling til. there are a few things you should do immediately: Summon your doctor: go to bed and stay there: drink a cup of hot liquid every hour, but no more than one pint in any four hours. Too much llqucl mght cause vomiting! You want to avoid that. Also keep warm. and call a. friend or get s nurse. The best thing you can do, how- ever, is to call your doctor. He cu: give you insulin and glucose which will probably pull you through.
