felt that new impetus will be
given the state campaign for pro-

setback in north Idaho because of
the victory of the vets.
A recent prominent Republican
who visited Boise came back with
the news that undoubtedly all
factions and parties would be
forced to adopt prohibition
plank in their platforms, but his
views are not met with an aic IF
belief as the loo Democrats are
strong for thn sO-called home
rule and lavt unearthed a strong
wet mar as a gubernatorial can
iidate, the mayor of this city,
Dr. j. b. Morris, being the can
didate.
When approached on the sub
ject the doctor said that it had
been his intention soon to retire
from active life and that he was
not lookingfor work, but that he
intended to pay Boise a visit dur
ing the convention and if the par
ly adopted platform to suit him
he would get in the race.

There is more than usual in

troversy between Paul Clagstona
and one Nora Marks. The lal-

past several years through his
nimble imagination and many
local people are more than pleas

His aniipathy to the Progressive
party has been noted more than
once in the past, and for that
reason local politicians have al

What You Should Know About Fish.

"ISH are divided into two classes.
r. those having white flesh and those
= having dark or pink flesh. Those of
the first group are almost entirely with
out fat, while the pink and dark fleshed
fish have fat distributed throughout the
flesh. The kinds that deteriorate rapidly
are those that are nearly free from fat.
It is true that people living away from
the seashore do not get the rich flavor
that is found In fish Just caught, but
there are many ways for the housewife
to make sure Of the freshness Of her
fish. The flesh should be firm and the
scales and the skin bright. If the fish
looks limp, do not touch 1t, for danger
turks therein. All fish should be washed
quickly in cold water and not allowed to
stand.
If you are obliged to keep fish Tor "a a
short time, do not put one on top OF an
other Instead wiring a clean ciotn OUT
of cold salt water and wrap each f1sh
separately in this and place on oasn
on ice Canned fish should never be
allowed to remain in the can after being
opened and should be used at once II
a fish is easily pulled from the bones II
is STALE but probably the best test Is
the condition Of the eyes.
When first caught, the eyes of a fish
stick out like diminutive lenses. Soon
after II has left the water they begin
to collapse and lose their brill!ance. Until
finally they shrivel to little more than
milky film. AS the brightness of the
eye is the one test of freshness that can
not be remedied artifcially. beware OF
any fish from which the eyes have been
removed, or that is offered for sale with
out its head.
Fish take the place Of meats. They
belong to the heterogeneous or muscle-mak-
Ing group of foods. They contain little
more water than ordinary flesh. little
less proteid matter. and are quite de-
ficient in carbohydrates. heat and energy
foods They are d.gested principally In
the stomach proper. At home dinner
fish takes the place Of meat Do not
serve a sweet or heavy dessert at the
close Of q fish dinner. as the combination
is unwholesome. Do not serve tea with
fish, The tannin hardens the fiber and
renders the fish difficult Of digestion.
There are SO many ways OF utilizing
fish that great variety of ideas may be
carried out. All sorts of fish may be

Corset Changes.

The present box effect of corsets is
said to be doomed. and. with whispers
in the air of changes, the following has
been gathered: Corsets will soon be cut
higher in the bust and shorter in the
skirt. and the normal waist line will be
visible, though none of the changes is
to be radical, just a gentle moving along
to get women into the habit of having
a waist line again.
The general corset business is said to
have made distinctive gaining during
the past year. The demand is veering to
a better. higher-priced class of goods.
