1t Is now stated that objection has
been, or soon viii be, lodged A differ

abroad and soldiers serving in this coun-

will be difficult and unsatisfactory The
men are so situated that ballot-casting
Is not for the time in their line. An
election is out of the question in their
case
1t is a new wrinkle, and will have to
be treated as such. 1t should not be re-

one thinks of Edith Cavell, the English

Edith CaveH was not spy. She was
not guilty of gaining information from
Germany's enemies for Germany's enc

which she frankly acknowledged, was

PRESERVE FISR
 FUR H0NE USE

As a measure of economy In the present period of high prices of foodstuffs and as contribution to the conservation of the food supply, whicn is one of the country's UT gent needs, the Bureau, of Fisheries urges housewives, particularly those living near streams and lakes or the seashore, to preserve fish for homo consumption. The fish can b bought when they are cheap, during times of plenty, and held for use during the winter when, ordinarily, prices are high. In many cases waste fishes, which because of pre- jIdiCe or ignorance are not placed on the market, may be buoght for little and sometimes may be obtain ed from the fisherman for the ask ing. Practically all fishes are edi- ble, and pUrchasers should not be deIerred from buying them on ac- count of their unattractiVe ap- pearance.. Some of the ugliest are amCng the best. Two easy meth ods of preserving, namely, canning and salting, are available to house wives. To be sure of success the methods here described should be carefully followed.

Rubbing With Salt

Cut the fish into strips to fit the length of the jars to be used and rub with dry salt, using a lev al tablespoonful to each pint jar of fish. Ell the jars with the pieces packed as tightly as possible, put on the rings, and place the caps on the jars loosely, to let the steam escape. Put no water in the jars. Cook in a pressure cooker for one and one-half hours after steam pressure registers 15 pounds or the temperature 25O degrees. Tighten the caps of the jars and permit cool ing. Use the cooker as directed by the makers. There are several kinds on the market and the Bur eau cf Fisheries, Washington, D, C., will furnish addresses of manu- facturers on application.

Lying Sthwart the great caravan route from Bagdad to Tehe- ran, amid rich pastures and fields of wheat and barley, Kermanshah still makes a vigorous show of trade. It's glory, however, has departed, its great walls, three miles in circuit, are in ruins and its moat choked with rub bish.
