FROZEN FISH SAFE
Of safety which should b. sufficient
for all purposes.

Of safety which should b. sufficient
for all purposes.
1T is essential, however, that the
fish be frozen in their freshest state
and jacketed with coating of thin
ice which excludes the air. In prac-
tice, the fish are now dressed by re-
moval Of the entrails as soon as they
are caught, thoroughly washed and
laid in shallow pans.
These pans are placed on the ice
covered pipes Of the freezer, which
usually is at a temperature a little
lower than zero. After from twelve
to twenty-four hours the fish are
frozen solid. They then form a large
cake held together by the freezing of
the thin layer of water between the
fish.
This cake is removed from the pan
and dipped into water, which is ar
once frozen on the fish, forming a
crystal glaze Of ice like transparent
varnish. This glaze Theoretically seals
them. No air can reach them from
the outside and no moisture can evap-
crate from the inside.
"The glazed fish are then kept at
temperature Of from seven degrees
to fifteen degrees F. until needed for
consumption.
Frozen fish is thus the only fish
produce the composition of which is
not altered in some way by the process
of preservation. Canning, rmoking,
sailing or picking all alter the flavor
of the treated article. With frozen
fish, however. the envelope Of ice has
only to be melted in order to give US
back an article Of food that is prac.
tically' identical with that taken from
the sea. If it were not for such a
method of preservation fish could not
be depended upon as a constant source
Of food.
Another objection raised by the
many housewives Is the fish odor
which makes them undesirable COM
pany for milk, butter and other ar.
ticles commonly found in the family
refrigerator. Fish can be kept in a
refrigerator without affecting other
foods If 1t is first put in tin vessel
with tightly fitting lid. AS a matter
OF fact. however, fish should be eaten
as soon as possible after they have
been received from the retailer. They
should not be allowed to soak in
water, as a certain amount Of their
food material is thus dissolved. In.
stead, they should be thawed SLOWLY
in an ice box and cooked as soon as
this process Is completed"

Betting 10 Forbidden.
Betting Is another forbidden de-
light to midshipmen. In the fall OF
1912 half the. students or about 400
men were involved in pool of $4,000
which was raised to be wagered
against an equal amount collected at
West Point on the result Of an Army.
Navy football game. The authorities
have stamped out the drinking of in.
toxicating liquors with an iron hand.
Another practice more than frowned
upon is the running Of extravagant
bills. especially for flowers and for
entertainment of guests.
This is not the first time that acad.

were forced to 60 to the preparatory
schools which specialize in getting
boys into the academy.
On several occasions, too, 1t has
been reported that candidates have
had substitutes take the examination
for them. Brilliant and INSCRIPTIONS

selves off as the candidates in the ex-

IMAM TO Be P|T|ED GETTING RID OF FLY.
0n.y Sure Way Is to Keep
Things Cleaned Up.
Prevent Pests Breeding, and There
viii Be No Problem to Solve In
Hot Weather-Manure Pile
and Garbage Pail.

The only rational and sure way to
get rid of the fly is to prevent breed.
ing-clean up. Next to keeping the
premises cleaned up, the most impor.
tant thing is to keep the houses we'll
screened. Those that do get into the
home should be killed. 1t is especially
important to kill those that appear
early in the season. One fly killed
now means millions less In August.
The house fly breeds, usually, in
fresh manure. The more of this waste
that is allowed near the house the
more will the dwelling be infested
with flies. Not only do flies breed in
filth, but they have filthy habits. They
are distributors of disease germs Of
all kinds, including tuberculosis germs.
Extreme care should be taken; there
fore, to destroy breeding places and
to keep flies out of the house.
After you have excluded Mr.. Fly
from your house next turn your at.
tention to your garbage pail. This Is
one of the great breeding places for
germs of all sorts. Don't be content
because the garbage man has emptied
your pail. It must be cleaned. If in
no other way, put few newspapers in
the bottom of it and burn them. Heat
is simple disinfectant. II possible
pour a bit of creolin or an oil dis
infectant on the papers and place the
cover part way over the pail. This
will rid your garbage pail of any
germs. Remember that only by sani-
tation can fevers and various other
diseases be prevented.

Shrewd Recruiting Sergeant.

An English recruiting sergeant one
day met an ignorant country youth
idling with. his hands in his pockets
and standing in front Of a house on
which was the notice, This building
to be sold by private treaty" The
sergeant approached the youth and
asked him II he had ever thought of
Joining the army
Not me-" was the reply. Whats
the good? There's nowt money in It,"
Is that sou said the other. "How
is 1t, then, that Private Treaty has a
house for sale?"
The youth looked puzzled and
thoughtful, and presently the posi-.
bility Of owning house by joining the
army grew into a certainty, and the
country secured another recruit.

Ptomaine Danger Unfounded,
Says Agricultural Department.

ess Of Preservation, Say the Ex-

ton to Help the Business.

Washington. -" Recent investiga
tons carried on by the department Of
agriculture appear to indicate that the
prejudice against the eating of fish
especially frozen fish, because Of the
alleged danger of ptomaine poisoning
is quite unfounded," says statement
issued by Secretary Houston. "A par
tial decomposition Of either fish OF
meat may result In the formation OF
certain substances that cause diges

been fully studied and their nature de-

very complex one, but there is, how
ever, no reason for assuming thai
there is any more likelihood of pto
maines in fish than in meat. New
processes Of preserving fish by freez
ing, glazing and cold storage make i,
as safe an article as meat.
This popular prejudice has done
much to hinder the development OF
what might be a far greater industry
and has prevented the people from
obtaining a wholesome, economical
and attractive substitute for meat al
the very time when the price of meat
has been rising rapidly.
Many persons eat fish only on fast

What the Afro-American has thus
far accomplished is only promise
an expectation: the realization be-
longs to the future. A school must
and will be established, perhaps in
Washington, d. c.; to head this school,
an eminent European composer and
teacher secured (preferably Rus
siam, who, unhindered by prejudice,
will understand, appreciate and foster
\ the peculiar musical genius OF the
Afro.American child. While giving the
child the same grasp upon the science
OF composition as was Beethoven's, he
will also show that strength of char
acter and profound knowledge of his
people, as we'll as technical skill,
which made Beethoven the master. In
dividuality-and then, more individu-
atty.
Such school will require money.
It will not be forthcoming If as soon as
few Negroes have learned the prin'
ciples OF breathing, or being able to
play the scale of G one or two cctaves
without serious offense to tonality,
they are at once exploited in some
temple of music where, maybe, the
Boston Symphony orchestra had just
finished q concert, perfect in every de-
tail
The Negro composer (there are
few In the United States who are re-
ceiving serious consideration should
mainly find his inspiration in the i'm
perishable melodies of his enslaved an
cestors. When he shall have devel-
oped works worthy of rendition. he
will find both Negroes and whites
ready and willing to offer them. All
through the South, Southwest and
West there are Negroes with beautiful
voices. What is more, because Of the
home life Of these people, they are
gaining real culture. They are laying
aside their shame of the past and are
beginning to glory In their unmatched
heritage of folk lore and folk songs.
The Afro-American Folk Song Singers,

choral works of Negro Beethoven,

In the canning plant at Prairie
View, Tex, says the Houston Post, a
| plant by the way which cost $3.50 COM
plete, sufficient vegetables are canned
| to last the students at the dormitory
the year around. Last year 10000
cans of vegetables and fruits were put
I'D in this plant and this year the ag-
rcultural department will can fully
$1,000 cans. In the college garden OF
is acres there are 25 varieties of vege-
tables grown. OF these beans, beets,
tomatoes and few other such vege-
tables are canned and are served to
the students during the winter months
when fresh stuff is not available. In
cidentally this greatly reduces the cost
of living. Beef is slaughtered by the
students under the general direction
of members of the teaching staff.
There are 1,400 acres of land in
the site owned by Prairie view. OF
that number $50 acres are in cultiva-
ton, 80 acres being planted to corn,
rs to black-eyed peas, 20 to sweet po-
tatoes, rs to watermelons, rs to sor-
ghum for making strip and the others
to various other crops. Twenty acres
are planted to broom corn for use IN
the manufacture of brooms, and ten to
cotton for the use of the mattress
making school.
In the sewing department all kinds
of dresses, children's wearing apparel,
hats and fancy work were shown.
These patterns were made by the stu
dents in the domestic arts depart
ment. Graduating dresses also were
made by these girls. The sewing de-
partment this year has made 684
complete uniforms for the girls, these
uniforms consisting of blue serge
skirts for wear in the home, on the
farm, and mems overalls and jumpers,
skirts and undergarments also were
made by these girls, who are enrolled
in the domestic arts courses.
Food principles, properly balanced
rations, chemistry of cooking, the eco
nomical management of the kitchen,
including cost estimates for each meal
are a few of the things that are
stressed in the domestic science
course of Prairie View. A neatly fur
nished dining room where the girls
are taught to properly serve meals
and dinners by courses is another fea'
ture of this department.
