Salt Fish For Lent.

04ik EESH OF E5hS-
The season of Lent Is now with us,
and there are still a certain number Of
people who fast during this time and
invariably make a point of having salt
fish on Ash Wednesday. Many people
shudder at the idea of salt fish at all;
but, properly treated, 1T is by no
means to be despised. Too often, how
ever, the necessity fer sufficient soak
ing is not realized, with the conse-
quence that when served, If it be eaten
at all, whoever ventures on it. literally
feels he or she is performing a pea-
ance. First of all, having procured
the salt fish, let it soak for several
hours, placing it under the tap If pos.
sible and letting the water slowly run
on to it. Should this, however, not be
feasible, soak it in plenty of cold
water, changing this fairly often and
having the last water tepid. Then
next 1t should be soaked In skinmiIk
or milk and water for several hours
longer, soaking it in all for twenty
four hours. Having gone through this
process, it should be simmered In half
milk, half water, with a very little salt,
and then it may be served with a
variety of sauces. Often the fish
monger will claim that the fish has
already been stepped. Should this be
SO the soaking In cold water may be
omitted, but ON 40 account should the
sleeping In milk and water be for
gotten. Treated thus. the flesh viii
be white and firm and most palatable.

Flowers For Dinner Table,

From now until the close of the
spring season there are no more at
tractiye decorations Of a simple order
for the dinner or luncheon table than
those Of spring flowers arranged in at
tracttve baskets. Charming baskets
which are suitable for this purpose are
to be had at many of the department
stores and at the Japanese shops. The
basket may be in any shape that Is
quaint or beautiful, and daffodils, cow
slips, lilies OF the valley and lilac
branches look lovely when arranged In
them. The bottom Of the basket is
filed with fresh damp moss and the
stems of the flowers are thrust into
this. II the flowers are to appear for a
long time In public and there Is dam
ger Of their whiting, the bottom of the
basket may be fitted with a shallow

Don't Hold Things 10 Fingers.

Girls. don't imagine that you must
always have in your hands some small
article-a purse, a handkerchief or
ven a hairpin-tn order to feel per
fecty at ease in the presence OF stran-
gers. Forget that you possess eight
dngers-and two thumbs and they win
lie ia your lap or against your sides
In the manner most natural to them
A good way to overcome self con-
seriousness and TO get rid OF the sem
satien OF not knowing what to do with
the hands is to deliberately start for
q long walk along a crowded thor
'oughfare without even the FINEST of
coin purses between the fingers. You

The back aches at times with a dull,
indescribable feeling. making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kidneys,
and again the loins are SO lame to
stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply
a plaster to the back in this condition
You cannot reach the cause. Exchange
the bad back for . new and stronger

to profit by the following example.

FUNERAL OF FRANK SHEETS.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The large rooms OF the pleasant
residence OF Major and Mrs. ID. l..
sheets were thrown open today Tor
the funeral services OF their son Frank,
who passed away recently in Albu-
querque, to the sorrow OF the commu-
nifty where all OF his life was spent.
1t was q very large gathering, com-
posed OF friends of the young man and
OF the family. his near associates, his
late co-workers, and members OF the
organizations to which he belonged.
Many OF those present remembered
the last time the house was thrown
open, on the occasion OF the marriage
OF the daughter OF the house, and
thought sadly how different it was
now from then.
The pretty gray casket of stamped
velvet with trimmings OF oxidized sill
yer stood in the big bay window, with
flowers heaped around and upon 1t
Covering one end and extending al
tire length was blanket OF pink and
white roses, the gift OF the young men
who were Franks personal and init
mate friends. The employees OF the
postoftice had sent beautiful broken
wheel developed in white roses and
carnations. There was large triangle
with the letters F. c. b. at either
angle, from the Knights OF Pythias,
also in white with purple letters
Then there were wreaths, crosses and
bouquets of lilies, roses and carna-
| tions, from other friends.
Rev. G. F. Rassweiler took for his
text, John IL, 35, Jesus wept." He
spoke OF the tender human sympathy
OF the Master, which could weep with
those who sorrowed, even though he
knew that their grief would soon be
| turned to Joy. He traced further

death and sin, the cause of death
and showed how He who could weeI

of sorrow, Is able to sympathize with
us when death overwhelms us witt
grief and turn our sorrow into joy
by destroying the fear and power o
death and of sin.
| The speaker prefaced his remark:
with brief obituary notice. Amont
other things he said that Frank Car
Sheets was born April 6, 1881, in Ami
cas- City, and had grown to manhood
in Durango. He was educated in tht
city schools. and was also a graduate
