FREE CITY WATER FOR BIG

session today accused the city water
department Of playing faEorites, let
ting big users of water get by with
out meters, while the little fellows,
who don't have a City Hall pull, are
paying for every gallon they get.
"The information has come to me
from a reliable source that a big
meat packer, one of the best known
in Chicago, uses about $4,000 worth
of water a year, but pays only $780,"
said Rodriguez, "and he was a con-
tribUtor to the Harrison and the
Thompson campaign funds. IwOuld
like to have the water department
bring US the names of all water users
who are using more than 500 worth
of water a year. A list Of such names
J and amounts was ordered by the city
council on Jan. II, but Sup't Nc
Court of the water department says
the cost of getting such facts would
be over $500 and he wants an apprO-
priation for it.
''Why this delay? Why can't we
find out a few simple business facts
about the running of city business?
Is it because some firms are protect
ed? Why has the water department
gone to dozens Of laUndries, bakeries
and small factories the past year and
compelled them to put in meters,
while at the same time big users are

that fish has always been cheaper
than meat, and that fish may be eaten
everywhere, while ritually permissible
meat is not always to be had, we
can we'll understand that fish has
always been highly popular ar
ticle of food, both for the Sabbath
meal, when it is conventionally re-
quired, and for other meals dur
ing the week. The result is that
Jewish cookery knows of many sue
culent and delicious ways of pre-
pairing fish for the table. Eastern Eu-
ropean Jews have made the mys-
teries of gefllte fish known to
many a non-Jewish epicure. &C.
fllte fish reserved especially for
the Sabbath meal, is replaced dur
ing the week by gehackte herring
or other varieties of sailed, smoked
or dried fish, or where fresh fish
is plentiful, fresh water or sea wa
ter fish. The Southern European
Jews, accustomed to cooking in
oil, have popularized fried fish,
fried not in butter, but in rich,
juicy, fine oil. This method of fry
ing fish has been popularized by
them in England, so that there are
many fried fish shops in England
where for a humble sum one may
get hot, sizzling, tasty steaks of
fried fish. White stewed fish or
brown stewed fish are other fam
GUS methods of preparing fish pop
ular among Southern European
Jews.
With such a history of uninter-
rupted, loyal and unwavering al
legiance to the fish as the king Of
the Sabbath table and royal guest
at many a weekday table, the Jews
of the country should be among the
most ardent disciples of the in
creased use of a fish diet, which the
Food Administration of the coun-
try is urging on us for world i'm
pOrtant reasons.

FISH DIET AMONG Jews
King of the Sabbath Table Ge Fish Whose Mysteries Have
Been Made Known to Many Non Jewish Epicure.

mMMMMMMMMMW@MMMwMMMMMMMMMWMwMMM
an satirist of the first century,
Persius Flaccus, describes the Sab
bath table of a poor Jew in the
following vivid terms: ''The lamps
are arranged, adorned with vio-
let's, spreading thick smoke. The
tail of fish is floating in a saucer
in an earthenware vessel, and a
white jug is filled to the brim with
wine." This use Ct fish for honor
ing the Sabbath is the subject of
many tales. Perhaps the favorite
of these is that c. rich man in
Jerusalem, or according to another
version a Jewish tailor in Rome,
who went to the market one Fri
day, and who, in order to get
particularly fine fish for his Sab
bath meal, outbid the slave who
had come to purchase food for the
governors table. When question
ed about his somewhat hazardous
proceeding, he explained that he
was determined to have this fish
in order to honor his God with it
on the Sabbath. The man received
immediate and dramatic reward,
when in opening up the fish on his
return home, he found within it
precious pearl.
During the middle ages, this use
of fish on the Sabbath became even
more general. 1t was pointed out
that the numerical value of the two
Hebrew letters composing the He
brew word for fish amounted to
seven, thus limiting at the appro-
priateness of using fish on the sew
enth day of the week. The Jew,
who was always a lover of large
families, found in fish what the
worshippers of Dagon and of 9TH
err fish-gods had found before him,
namely, symbol of fertility, and
he regarded the Sabbath fish as a
sign that he would be blessed with
large family of children.
Many other priceless virtues,
real or imaginary, have been at
tributed to the eating of fish. Thus,
the three consecutive letters of the
Hebrew alphabet, ma1ra, samaech,
ayi?,, were interpreted as showing
that a fish diet is good for the eye
sight. When we remember further
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-09-21

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM&MMMMMMMM$MMSM&MM
The United States Food Admin
istration is urging the people of
the United States to eat more fish.
We are hidden to eat more fish and
save the meat which our allies need
so sorely. While millions of cat
tie have been killed wherever the
warning armies have passed, there
are, as the old proverb declares,
as many good fish in the sea as
have come out of it.
American Jews should need lit
tie urging to increase their use Of
fish, for fish as staple of diet has
been popular among the Jews of
all ages. In the dim dawn Of Jew
ish history, the Jews wandering in
the desert craved for the fish which
they had eaten so freely in Egypt.
When they entered the promised
land, they found lakes and rivers
in which fishing was carried on,
and the long Mediterranean coast
of Palestine which furnished the
whole land with large quantities
and many varieties of fish. In fact,
so large a use was made of fish in
the capital city, that there was a
gate in Jerusalem known as the
Fish Gate, almost certainly from
the fish market that gathered
there. The Biblical laws of diet
in STIMULATING that only such fish
as have both fins and scales may
be eaten, recognize fish as an ar
ticle of diet on the same rank as
meat and fowl.
In the times after the Bible days,
fish lost none of it's popularity
among the Jews. Salt fish, which
was popular all round the Medi-
terranean coast, is frequently men
toned by the Rabbits, as are many
varieties of fish native to the wa
ters in and around Palestine. One
of the Rabbits, Abimi, said that
there were 700 species of unclean
fish, while another, Simon ben
Gamliel, related how they had
brought before him in Sidon a
bowl containing 300 kinds of small
fish. Everywhere, both in Pales-
tine and outside Of it, fish was
brought to the table as the prin-
cipal dish on the Sabbath. A Rom
