quality. The average housewife, how
ever, prefers to buy 1t in smaller quaint
ties. and her preference has been con-
sdered. The whole cod is now taken and
cut by machinery into strips of equal
width. These are then divided into even
lengths and the best pieces are packed
whole in carefully lined wooden boxes
or neat Paraffine paper packages. These
can be soaked until the surplus salt is
removed and then cooked by baking Oh
boiling and served whole in a most at
tractive form. This constitutes the high
est grade of selected fish.
The smaller pieces which are not OF
the required size for the first grade, al
up into smaller packages and served as
outlets after they are cut into narrow
strips and the bones removed, or they
may be desiccated or picked into fine
pieces so as to enable the cook to pro-
vide her family with Goldfish cakes upon
short notice. The same care is observed In
preparing each form. No one who would
see the fish put up would harbor any fear
of buying even the small pieces or the
desiccated fish on account of refuse fish
being sold in this manner.

There was never a time when the mar
ke,s afforded such a variety in the fish
foods. and each season brings out nov
elites i'm this line. Additional ways are
being discovered of serving many old
varieties so as to accentuate their tooth
someness. The methods of handling all
kinds OF fish foods have improved In
proportion to the increasing demand for
food sanitation. and many agencies have
combined to influence the housewife OF
the present to allow fish to act as sub
sttute for flesh to a degree never before
considered possible.

quantities and dried it for their winter

seven or eight pounds and is cut in slices
and fried like outlets. 1t is said by some
to resemble duck in flavor.
Among the newer developments In
American fish food is the preparation of
sturgeon eggs as caviar This is being
produced in great quantities each week
and there are many who prefer 1t to the
imported Russian caviar, which it closely
resembles, both in appearance and taste,
although it is usually lighter in color.
This is one Of the products of the great
lake fisheries, although the sturgeon is
also found to some extent in many sec
tons of the country.
The custom of eating frogs is increaS-
ing in this country. and frog fishing is
fast becoming a lucrative
Frog industry. The frogs for

HASAAA6' chiefly come from around
Philadelphia. In Boston the supply of
frogs is upon the increase and there is
some talk of canning them. Only the
nd-quarters are taken and the average
price for the fishermen is from 70 cents

dozen and more in winter. There Is a
good demand for frogs in the st. Louis
market where they are shipped from
Minnesota. All along the great lakes
frog fishing is a growing activity ana
the frog legs are sent to the Chicago
markets. Sometimes the frogs are cap
tured and brought in alive.
The fish canning factories of the coun-
try have been doing a thriving industry
for years. and their products are en-
larged each year. One OF the popular
products is the domestic sardine. which
is in reality a small herring but il has
become a popular food product and MIL
lions of cans are consumed each year.
This is a product chiefly of the Maine
coast, although "sardines" are also found
quite extensive along the Pacific ocean

twenty years ago fresh fish was almost

is correct. although it is true that less

are meeting with the heary cooperation
of the fish dealers. The sending Of notices
to 10000 league members when fish were
to be plentiful and correspondingly cheap
was an innovation of this year. The
need of some better way of distributing

Developments at 0ccoquan.

The charities board members. in their
report. describe the progress made in
the development of the workhouse at
Occoquan, Va. They call attention to
the need of an initial appropriation of
the proposed municipal hospital and
again urge that the general hospital
work of the Washington asylum and
Jail be discontinued.
Regarding the proposed transfer Of
the Tuberculosis Hospital from the
jurisdiction of the board of charities
to the control of the health depart
ment of the District of Columbia the
board states that it has investigated
this matter and hesitates to express a
positive opinion.
1t is shown that the hospital, as now
conducted. is restricted by law to the
care of INDECENT patients. and the ele-
ment of charity could not be eliminated
without a change in the law and would
mean d radical departure from the poll
cies of the board. which provide for a
complete separation between public insti-
buttons for the care of the INDECENT and

such persons. being in receipt of good
salaries, have neglected and refused to
pay for the care of wife or child at the

to enforce payment because the law pro-
vides that the salaries of such persons
cannot be attached. 1t is rule in the
government service that the department
will not take cogniZance of the debts of
its employees.
The report states that a search of the
records revealed the fact that number
of persons maintained at the hospital for

Suggestions for Betterment of Dis

OPERATIONS THE PAST YEAR

Pointing out that practically the only
gaps in the District OF Columbia's penal
and correctional system are the lack OF
a refOrmatory and the absence of an in
determinate sentence and parole law, the
board of charities. in it's annual report,
submitted to the District Commissioners
today, recommends legislation which will
correct these deficiencies.
In its report of a year ago the board
laid stress upon the necessity of separat-
ing public and private charities. Its posi-
ton in this respect merely is reaff1rmed in
the present report. the board considering
at length the needs of the penal system
and making these its principal recon-
mendatiOns.
With the enactment of an indeterminate
sentence and parole law and the estab-
lishment of reforrinatory, the penal and
correctional system of the District will
have been made reasonably comprehen-
sive. 1t is stated. The report points out
that the system. with the additions pro-
posed. would consist of the Juvenile Court
the training schools for boys and girls
the Criminal Courts, the workhouse, the
reformatory and the penitentiary.

SEEK HELP
As MOTHER DIES
Harrison Boys Awake to Find
Parent Gasping for Breath
in C0nvulsi0n.

When ~15-year-old william Fisher
awoke early today he found his mother
gaspingas for breath. The lad, whose
slumbe-s had probably been disturbed
by the heavy breathing. bounded from
the BED and ran Into the street scream
ing for help. His brother Charles had
just left the house at 217 Railroad
avenue, Harrison. He had discovered
the plight of his mother and was also
in quest of help.
The two ran back to the house and
found their mother still alive. Charles
remained in the house and William
ran three blocks to the home of Il
sister, Mrs. Arthur Hegg. of 217 Ber-
gen street. When they returned their
mother was dead. At her late home
today it was said she was subject to
~convulsive spells for thirteen years.
Shaw Fisher, the woman's husband,
was at work when he learned of the
demise of his wife. He had left his
home before 5 o'clock today. His wife
did not arise to get his breakfast, but
he thought it nothing strange. 1t was
a half hour later when Charles arose.
Not finding his mother In the kitchen,
he went to her room and saw her in a
death struggle. He hurried from the
house M had only gone a few steps
when MS brother, awakened and fol-
lowed.
Mrs. Fisher was 50 years old and had
lived in Harrison a number of years.
The body was removed to her home.
Deputy County Physician Henry Alters,
Of Harrison, after learning the facts,
consented to the removal OF the body.
He viewer the remains this afternoon,
and declared that death was due to

WOMEN INSIST ON
RIDING TO POLLS
West Orange ImprOvers Say
Fair 3ters Are Just
Ike Men.

WithNa determination to have every
woman in their district cast a ballot,
members of the Lawrence Street I'M
provement Association of West Orange,
at a meeting last night. voted unani-
mously to hire a conveyance of some
description to carry the women to the
CASTOR Street School next Tuesday,
when the special election to decide the
fate of the st. Marks School building
will be held.
1T is an absolute necessity" said
a member of the association, ito have
the women brought to the polls in a
carriage or an automobile, because, like
thousands of men, unless practically
carried to the polls, they refuse to cast
a ballot"
1t was first suggested that a trolley
car on the Swamptown line be hired
for the purpose, but a membe objected
on the grounds that the cars did not
run close enough to the homes of a
number of women and they might re-
fuse to walk a few blocks to board the
vehicles. Anoter suggestion, to hire a
stage, was Immediately voted down
because the members contended the
fair ones would refuse to ride in a
stage because it looked "c~ountryfied."
Most of those present favored the
hiring of an automobile, but after
some one explained that a machine was
subject to a breakdown and that II
the car got stalled in the street the
women passengers might become m
barrassed, this suggestion was with
drawn. Finally a suggestion to provide
carriages for the purpose met with the
approval of every one, and the men
dug into their pockets and gathered
together enough money to defray the
expenses of hiring the rigs.
