Justice it's myriad sided virtues merit?
Hash is the fifth element. Hash is the
quintessence of all the ailments. Hash
is the perpetual terium quid, the alma
gest of the table, the grand secret OF
the alchemy of the kitchen. 1t is the
true democratic, liberal all-contalnlhs'
composite, miscellaneous dish. Not
even sociology can compare with IL III

masterpiece of creative art. IL is capa-
BILE of all the tlavors and fragrances'
melodies and symphonies. Let Scotch-
men sing its brother, hageis. we Suck
to hash and shall stick until our nash
is settled. Hash is the one and only
all prevailing, self-governing, inde-
pendent, free and equal American dish.
There is strength in the very name OF

liar sound. the assonance of sneeze.
Is there any old boy within the sound of
our voice who has forgotten the merry
song of the chopping knife when the
mince-meat was prepared and alligated

a hash house." Democracy drips from
that chunky and unadmirable word

fully. happily, suspiciously, according
to the thermometer of their livers and
their confidence in the cook. Walter
Whitman should have written a paean
Of hash. Hash cheered the insides of

ate hash Good hash makes a good
man. Difficult, perverse, dangerous
hash can be cigested and survived only
by men predestinate to distinction and
of dauntless stomachs. Hash kills off
the weaklings and fits the fittest for

hash is the food of heroes.
There is certain corn-beef hash
with poached eggs which is the highest
hash mark Of the century; the pere-
helion, the apotheosis of hash. All hash
