to Presidential Candidates.

Alice M. Lakey' chairman OF the food
committee OF the National Consumers'
League made public yesterday a letter
which she has sent TO President Taft, Colo
mel Roosevelt. Governor Wilson. Governor
Harmon. Senator La Toilette. Champ Clark
and Eugene V. Debs, candidates for the

Lakey asks the candidates whether, II
elected they VIII remove from office Sec
retary Wilson Of the Department OF Agri-
culture. together with Solicitor George e.
McCaoe and DR.. +. l.. Dulop. These off,
cials she charactertzes as "faithless" and
accuses them of having Steadily favored
the weakening" Of the pure food law. The
law. she says. would have afforded con.
sumers complete protection under It's pro-
visions from the evils Of adulterated, mis-
branded poisonous and harmful foods,
drugs. liquors and medicines had il not
been betrayed, as was demonstrated by
DR.. Wiley's resignation" The letter also
asks
Is the policy TO continue of relaxing the
enforcement Of the law In favor of GER
tain privileged manufacturers?
Is the policy to continue of letting Mr.
McCahe decide legal questions connected
with the enforcement of the act, or is tho
law 10 be enforced only through the courts,
as was intended when the act was first en-
acted?
Is Secretary Wilson to be continued in
office and to have the power to stop the
enforcement of the law. notably In the
case OF the sulphuring OF fruits, when he
announced that this law has got 10 stop :?
Was II intended that the Secretary OF
Agriculture alone should have the power
of life and death over the pure food law?
These questions. the letter declares. wi
tally concern consumers. We ask you
what YOU Will do, that we may know
what is TO be the fate Of the greatest law

Used to be when we could 60 over there
on Park avenue with a dollar and buy all
our food for the day and maybe rem
nant TO make dress for the little girl.
so she could 80 clean 10 the school. For
n cents have seen II that YOU could
buy dress. or course, you had to put
a little work to II to make 1t clean, but
we were all willing to do that so the child
should have a dress But now that the
cops have chased the pushcart men We
don't know where to find them and we
got 10 60 to store and buy by the yard
goods maybe for a dollar. And we can't
afford that.
And the food on the pushcarts is al
ways fresh. and we can buy for few
pennies just what We want. Me II makes

thirteen for % cents. don't want oranges
for quarter, but just one for my child.
When We had the market before two

dred Harlem pushcart vendors. we go to
the Washington Market and buy maybe
50. maybe 81 worth Of fresh vegetables and
fruit, and we got to sell 'em all In one
day cause we don't keep Ice.
We've been having an awful time since
they took away our market on Park ave-
police drive US of the streets. and We
can't do no business We are willing to
pay the city $40 a head II they will let US
have our stands there under the elevated
structure OF the railroad on Park avenue.
but We want 10 be under the control Of
the Market Commission. and not OF the
Police and Fire departments. as we were
before.
The retail men are all against us. and
they can raise money TO keep us out. but
we can't afford TO pay the politicians. and
We don't want to. anyway.
we got petition signed by three thou
sand of the housewives who want the
market. and We hope the Mayor Will look
into It. When food In stores Is so high
now they need the market more than ever.

Noted French Chef Tells
of Best Ways to Cook Fish
All the Rich Flavor Ruined
by Boiling, Declares
NJ Soyer.

NJ. Nicholas Soyer. being a Frenchman
and diplomat. does not commit himself on
the subject OF the fish diet as decrecd by
the Housewives League.
"Feesh I'm America Is good" he admitted
however, when a Tribune reporter insisted
on a pronunciamento
You have about the same variety as We
great trouble is you don't know how to
cook 1t. II Is a dlsgraceful thing that good
food be not properly cooked. II shows
vice In the employer or a foolishness in his
chef. II the good feesh is ruined.
III you boil II you throw away all the
good, and what you eat is the-what you
call it?-like dead wood. yes. Into the
water goes all the rich flavor, the oil and
fat and the phosphate. which Is the
nutreetion OF feesh. There Is really much
more of nutreetion in feesh than In meat,
II you only keep the phosphate. But IL you
boil it-ah. It Is like India rubber.
How should one cook it? All. II Is with
herbs and favoring. Then even frozen fish.
which you mostly get, acquires flavor
that Is excellent Cook II In wine or all
skill.
"Feesh poached in courbouroon-that has
the beautiful flavor. Courbouroon is a con-
coction Of wine and herbs. You have II
hot, and drop the feesh In like an egg.
Another way to cook 1t that Is de-
licious favor you never knew before Is
like this: Take madeira gassful OF
vinegar. one echallotte or small onion. a
bit Of thyme. one bay leaf, parsley. one
teaspoonful Of sugar, just little peel OF
lemon. Put that with the feesh-say It Is
salmon-in paper bag, with some pieces
OF carrot cut thin, little salt, and
cayenne pepper II you like and a piece Of
butter. big as a nut, clip the paper bag Sc
curely and bake slowly. II you have four
pounds OF feesh. cook II thirtyfive min
utes, then you have the incest piece OF
salmon you ever saw. Almost any other
large feesh can be prepared the same way.
The paper bag cooking. It is the most
perfect way. 1t is economy Of time, money
and nutrition. II It we're properly followed
by the mass OF the people IL would be bet

Monsieur Soyer is to be pardoned for any
slight prejudice he manifests In behalf o,
