the absence Of the governor of Mon
tana from the state is n signal for the
issue of pardons; the exercise of the
pardoning power is II function which
the acting governors appear to relish
most heartily. From the fact that the
governor has never been known to
kick when he got home, 1t is sug-
gested that these pardons are issued
as the result of an understanding.

The Fish Industry
lX.-Preparing for the Market.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

There was never time when the
markets afforded such a variety in
the fish foods, and each season brings
out new novelties in this line. Addi-
tional ways are being discovered Of
serving many old varieties so as to
accentuate their toothsomeness. The
methods of handling all kinds of fish
foods have improved in proportion to
the increasing demand for food sani-
tation, and many agencies have COM
bined to influence the housewife of
the present to allow fish to act as a
substitute for flesh to a degree never
before considered possible.
Nothing is more attractive in the
way of food preparation than the great
packing houses in New England, in
which salt fish is prepared for the
market. One does not expect such
condition as an accompaniment of fish
packing, consequently visit to one
of these establishments is complete
revelation. The first thing noticeable
| is the immaculate appearance of the
| women and girls doing the work. The
girls working in millinery supply

| an artificial flower shop are slovenly
looking in comparison with these at
tractive. young people in the crispest
and freshest Numbered waists and
dresses, who sit and stand in rows
| beside long, clean tables, putting VI
salt cod, smoked halibut and herring
| in suitable packages for the retail
trade.
! Goldfish is, of course, the most i'm
portant product of these establish
ments, and 1t is put up in a number
! of different forms The conservative
housewife who still desires to pur-
chase her Goldfish whole as a part o1
her supplies for the winter can do SO
only now the fish is handled in &
cleanlier manner and is superior ir
1 quality. The average housewife, how
ever prefers to buy it in smaller
/ quantities.. and her preference has
been considered. The whole cod Il
now taken and cut by machinery into
strips OF equal width. These arr
then divided into equal lengths. ant
the best pieces are packed whole il
carefully lined wooden boxes or nea
parafine paper packages These cal
be soaked until the surplus salt Il
removed. and then cooked by balsinl
or boiling and served whole In mos
attractive form. This constitutes tn
highest grade of selected fish.
/ The smaller pieces which are no
, of the required size for the frs
grade, although of equal quality. ma
be made up into smaller packages an
served as outlet after they are Gu
, into narrow strips and the bones re
moved, or they may be dessicated o
picked into fine pieces SO as to en-
J able the cook to provide her famil
, with Goldfish cakes upon short notice
The same care is observed in pre-
pairing each form. No one who woul

: fear Of buying the small pieces or tn
dessicated fish on account of refus
fish being sold in this manner.

PASSING EVENTS

Thanksgiving over, we turn our
thoughts toward preparations for the
Christmas holiday. If We are wise,
we shall let our thoughts work as
rapidly as they r'will needing the
time worn injunction to do our shop
ping early. Then We shall have am
pie time for the world wide holiday
and it's ep3syment. Also, we shall
contribute to the enjoyment of others
by getting out of the way of the
crowd. All over town there are evil
de,ices that the stores are ready for
us. The announcements of the mer-
chants make it clear that there Is
abundant opportunity to get the
Christmas plans into operation right
away, without delay. The wise shop
per will start this week and will have
his buying done in such manner as
to watch the frantic scramble of the
closing days from the side lines. We
would urge a careful perusal of The
Missoulian's advertising pages these
helpful suggestions for the holiday
shopping season and they will inspire
YOU with enthusiasm over the shop
at-home policy. Having paid for the
turkey and paid the years taxes, the
Average Citizen may find some diff
Guilty at first in getting up any en-
thusiasm over any buying proposition,
but the spirit of the season will soon
lay hold upon him and he will be-
come as interested as ever in the
plans for the coming holiday. 1t is
this buoyancy which gives Ms our

WAlTlNG-After having celebrated
their suffrage victory in Michigan, the
women seem likely to be counted out.
At present the decision of the election
rests upon a recount which has been
ordered of the vote cast in one county.
This is one of the "Wet" counties of
the state-practically all of the coun-
ties of this class showed an opposi-
tion vote on the suffrage question.
In this particular county the major
ity was SO strong against suffrage
that there is suspicion that there was
something irregular in the methods
there. The result is that there is to
be a recount. Meanwhile the women
are obtaining some practical school
ing in politics which will be helpful
when they eventually obtain the right
to vote--as they certainly will II
they are finally counted out in Mich
igan, it is easy to predict cam
paign there at the very next oppor-
tunity--a campaign which for in
tensity will make all previous efforts

insists that there should be as little
publicity as possible given to these
cases Of official corruption. The
mayor has openly rebuked the min
listers and editors who have lately di-
rected attention to the sad state of
affairs In the police department. But
the people Of New York as a whole
appear to realize that the evil cannot
be eradicated merely by ignoring it
and they are insisting that a house,
cleaning be started. And therein lies
the lesson which the entire country
should learn in this connection. Vice
cannot be suppressed by covering it
with cloak of secrecy. Strenuous
action is necessary.
REAL THANKS ~ The woman
teachers Of New York are at the close
of successful campaign which has
placed them upon basis of pay equal
to that which man teachers receive.
That campaign had as its leader a
woman who displayed abilities which
are remarkable. Grace c.. Strachan
was the field representative of the
woman teachers all through this long
fight. She was paid for services as
lobbyist and campaign director, but
her beneficaries did not consider that
the mere payment of her salary while
she was engaged in this work con-
stituted sufficient recognition of the
services which she rendered. About
a year ago 1t was suggested that a
fund should be raised by voluntary
subscription as an expression of the
gratitude which the teachers felt for
their champion. At first the plan met
with opposition, but it has been re-
vived lately so successfully that Miss
Strachan will receive as Christmas
present purse containing sixty-five
thousand dollars. Which strikes us
as a very substantial expression of
thanks.

MEDICAL SCIENCE IN NINEvEH
Prescriptions of Time of Sardanapa- Jus, $50 B. C.-Faith Healing
 Practiced.

The patient work of the archaelo- gist enabled people in 1911 to form a very fair idea of medical science as 1t existed. in Nineveh $50 years before the birth of Christ.
 Of the 10000 tablets taken from the library of Assurbanipal. the great king of Assyria. who conquered Egypt and Babylonia and established his sub iects in the deserted cities of Samaria, hundreds deal exclusively with medi- cine and contain numerous prescrip- tions:
 If man has collie make him stand up and pour over him a decoction Of hypericum and he will recover.
 Or make him crouch down on his heels and. pour cold water over his head.
 Faith healing seems to be indicated in a prescription which runs. 'If he Is in a weak state. make him bend down. then raise his legs. and say: May you get quite we'll Strike him also on the head IA times with your thumb
 Many prescriptions deal with the cure of a disorder which was very common at Nineveh. and which seems to have been due to overindulgence in food and drink: When a man Is bilious rub him with an onion. and let him drink nothing but water and ab- stain from food altogether"
 Among the medicines used by the physicians at Nineveh were sesame. olive oil castor oil. syrup of dates. honey and salt. Fasting and massage were frequently ordered.-New York Sun.
