WHALES GOOD TO EAT
Message of Hope From North as
Meat Prices Soar.
American Consul at Vancouver De-
cIares Flesh Of the Monster of Deep
10 Both Paiatable and Whole
some-Has "Nutty" Taste.

Philadelphia. - Housekeepers, take
comfort! Just as the price of beef
is soaring skyward, and the cost Of
high living Is driving many to distrac-
ton, comes a message of hope that
whale is good eating, that there is an
unlimited supply in the ocean, and
that the monster Of the deep is mar
ketable, and could be put up in cans
just like salmon or sardines.
The suggestion has official sanction,
1t comes from R. E. Mansfield. Amer
lean consul general at Vancouver.
British Columbia, in a report to the
state department He asserts that
whale meat Is both palatable and
healthful. The general use of whale
meat, he says, would build up an
important industry. He suggests the
salmon canneries of the Pacific coast
might add the business of canning
whale meat when the summer catch
Of salmon has been canned.
William e. Mehan, former state fish
commissioner, and now director Of the
aquarium in Paramount park, thinks
the suggestion, coming from such an
official source, ought to be practicable.
The Eskimos, Mr. Meehan says. eat
whale meat and like it, and he him
self, when on the Peary relief expe-
dition in 1892, ate the skin of the nor
whal, relative of the whale.
Il ate it out of curiosity he said.
The natives are very fond Of 1t. l
ate it raw. 1t had rather a nutty
flavor.
There is a lot of fish and so-called
fish that are edible. though not COM
monty known to the people, as food.
For instance, the dog shark, the skate,
and the ray. They are commonly
classed among fishes and are very good
eating. They are cold-blooded, but
| are separated from true fishes because
they have a cartilaginous skeleton in
stead of bony skeleton, which is one
Of the features Of true fish.
The meat Of the skate and the ray
especially the part commonly called
the wings They have pretty good
sale now in New York and New Or
leans, particularly among the French
and the descendants of the French.
There are lot OF things that are
edible and that people are passing
by as no good. But we will come to
eat them in time. Among the things
long thought worthless as food, but
are now considered fine, is sturgeon.
! Thirty-five years ago the flesh OF the
sturgeon was not believed to be fit to
eat by the majority of persons The
only part they esteemed was the cav
| lar, or eggs. Now smoked sturgeon
fish is regarded as great delicacy,
and brings very high price in the
/ market 1t sells for 35 cents a pound,
and even more at times.
| Il see no reason why whale should
not be marketable. The Eskimos eat
1t, 1t is not Ash. Whales are nam
mails and warm blooded."

Maya tribes were beaten one by one.
1t is significant that as late as 1900
there was organized Indian opposi-
ton to Mexico. In that year the Next
can troops took the citadel Of Chan
Santa Cruz at the end Of long, hard
campaign.
President Wilson's hope in resur-
recting the Mexican Indians lies In a
belief that with restoration Of their
land their lost qualities will return.
With his land gone the Indian has be-
come peon, a degraded laborer. With
land, he is represented to have been
a contented cottager. fairly virtuous
and deeply religious.
With a restoration of his lands, how
will it be with the Indian? That Is
the great riddle of Mexico.
To get an idea of the best that may
be hoped one might turn to the pages
Of Diego Duran, the Spanish mission
airy. who wrote sixty years after the
conquest:
There was never q nation In the
world where harmony, order and po-
likeness reigned SO supreme as In this
heather nation. In what country OF
the globe were there ever so many
laws and regulations of the state at
once so just and so well appointed
Where have kings ever been so feared
and obeyed, their laws and orders SO
well observed as in this land?
In regard indeed to their laws and
ancient mode of living all Is much
changed or wholly lost. Nothing but a
shadow remains now of that good or.
der. Our admiration is compelled by
the strict account and census which
they kept of all persons in town or
country. who were by this means to
be called upon for help in anything
they might be ordered to do. They
had their presidents and chiefs and
lesser authorities TO look after the old
or the married, or the young about to
be married, with such system and or
der that not even the newly born es
capped their notice.
$50 thorough was their superinten.
dence OF public works, that the man
who labored one week was not al
lowed to present himself for toll the
next. everybody taking his turn with
much harmony and order to the end
that nobody might feel aggrieved."

VARIOUS FINE jELLIES
SOME OLD FAvoRITEs AND SOME
THAT ARE NEW.
Several Combinations Possible That
Make Delicious Addition to the
Winter Menu Red Pepper
Jelly That VIII Keep Long.

Cherry Juice mixed with an eQuah
proportion of gooseberry or currant
juice makes delicious jelly, using
cupful for cupful of sugar and the
mixed juice. For currant and straw
berry jelly allow one pint of currants
to two OF strawberries. Heat both
fruits together and proceed as direct
ed. Currants and raspberries COM
bined in equal proportions make q
fine favored jelly. An excellent peach
jelly may be made by using equal
quantities of peaches and apples
When making plum jelly cut the plums,
In halves, cook until tender, then
strain. The fruit must not be over
ripe.
Grab Apple JeIiy.-Wash the appiesai

heat, then add the heated sugar and
boil not more than eight minutes
Fine and never fails. Wash a rose

Take equal parts of apples, cranber-i
ries and evaporated apricots. Soak!
the apricots overnight, then cook ALI
together slowly with just enough wa
ter to cover. Strain and make jelly

from crab apple.

MEXICAN REPUBLIC
CONTAINS MILLIONS
OF INDIAN RACE
Problem More Complex Than
That Which Confronted U. S.
MANY INTELLIGENT TRIBES
Some Are Still In State of Primitive
savagery, While Others Have Fol-
lowed the Ways Of the White
Man.

New York.-Mexico's Indians pre-
sent 6 problem vastly more dffncult
and more complex than any the UNI
ted States bureau of Indian affairs
ever tried to handle. says a writer In
the New York Sun. In the first plaAD-
there are more OF them.
There are now 260, 900 Indians In the
United States, while there are more
than 100000 pure blood Indians be-
tween the Rio Grande and Gautemala
besides a larger number OF mestizos,
or mixed bloods.
According to the best figures obtain
able "a per cent of the inhabitants OF
Mexico (about 100000 souls) are
wholly or partly of Indian blood. This
IL 80 times as many Indians as are
now living In the United States.
Moreover, the Indians of Mexico
have been more conspicuous in public
affairs than the Indians of the United
States Benito Juarez, the Mexican
patriot who overthrow the Emperor
Macmillan, was a pure zapotec. Man
uel Altamirano, the Mexican author
and critic; Huerta and DR.. Urrutia
are other Indians.
The prominence which things Indian
have In Mexico is difficult for the New
Yorker who has never travelled In that
land to comprehend. The Mexicans
hold an annual national festival In
honor of their aboriginal heroes, de-
spite the fact that the dominant ele-
ment in the population Is the strain
descended from the Spanish conquer
ors. The Mexicans are as proud or
Montezuma and Guatemotzin as the
Americans are of the signers OF the
Declaration of independence.
Even the national seal comes from
the Aztecs, who, tradition says, were
induced to settle on the marshy islets
which are now the City of Mexico by
a sign from their gods, an eagle
perched on a prickly pear strangling
q serpent.
Scholars have declared the Aztecs
calendar system was superior to that
in vogue In Europe at the time OF Cor
tez. The Mayas OF Yucatan are held
by some students to have been even
further advanced than the inhabitants
OF the Valley of Anahuac, or Mexico.
But the intelligence of certain In
dams only emphasizes the completely
OF the Mexican Indian problem. One
student of the languages of Mexico
which correspond pretty well with the
tribal divisions, concludes there are IL
families of tongues and $50 dialects,
These dialects are not slight varia.
lions. however. but present differences
so great that man knowing only one
dialect probably could not understand
man speaking an allied dialect. The
mountainous character of the country
has kept tribes apart and emphasized
their differences. Association in Mex
leo does not always mean the melting
pot, however. One finds sometimes

primitive weapons are even used by
irregular hands assisting the constitu-
ttonalists.
1t must be remembered, too, that the
punitive expeditions of Porfrio Diaz
were never so extensive or effective as
the expeditions undertaken in our In
dian wars Had the Indians stuck to-
gether Cortez might never have con-
Quered them In Spanish times the
tribes were gradually subdued. The
