Food Value of Fish
Extensive Use Recommended by
Department Of Agriculture

Further evidence that fish deserves
a place in every diet was obtained
from recent series of digestion expert
ments In the United States depart
ment of agriculture These tests fur
nished scientific proof that fish, which
has always been reckoned as val
liable food, is very completely util-
lied in the body.
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
butterish, salmon and grayfish-a va
riety not generally used in this coun-
try-were made into fish loaves' and
served as basis of n simple mixed
diet TO young men of healthy appe-
tites.
Both the protein and the fat of the
fish were we'll utilized. Following are
the percentages of protein digested:
Boston mackerel, 93.1 per cent; but
terfish, 91.9 pes cent; grayfish, 92.S
per cent; and salmon, 93.2 per cent.
The percentages OF fat digested were
found TO be: Boston mackerel, 95.2
per cent; butterfish. 1914 per cent
grayfish, 94.3 per cent; salmon, 93.7
per cent.
In addition to the fish loaf, the diet
included potatoes. crackers. fruit. SUI
gar, and tea or coffee. On the aver
age the subjects each day ate 440
grams of Boston mackerel, AL grams
of butterfish. 40 grams of grayfish, or
$50 grams of salmon, indicating that
in every case che fish was eaten with
relish.
The department recently has con-
Guided an investigation of the COM
merciai freezing and storing of fish,
and a bulletin on that subject says
that this method of preserving fish will
hold them for many months in the con-
dition in which they were received. but
will not counteract deterioration due
TO previous heating or mishandling.
Chemical analysis shows no significant
changes In frozen fish held for %
months-much longer than would be
necessary or profitable in storing fish
commercially.

b. Civilian prisoners-O Sixty

The note of the Spanish ambassador

Simple Remedies That Will
Rid the Living Rooms and
Offices of All Cockroaches

The nuisance of reaches I'm Offices
and living rooms Of houses can be re-
duced, II not removed entirely, by the
elimination of all attractive SUBJ
stances, according TO the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some available food
material, and If such materials can be
kept from living rooms end offices or
scrupulOus care exercised TO see that
no such material is placed IN drawers
where Ii can leave an attractive odor
or fragments OF food, the roach
nuisance can be largely restricted to
places where food necessarily must be
kept. In such places the storage of
food material In insect-proof contain
eSs or ice boxes, together with thor
ough-going cleanliness, will go a long
way toward preventing serious annoy
ance.
Reaches as household pests may be
controlled by the use of various poi
sons, repellents, and fumigants, and by
trapping. The more efficient of these
remedies are powders, particularly So
dunn fluorid, a liberal busting of
which about the infested premises fur
nishes an efficient means for the elm
ination of these pests. Also one part
powdered borax and three parts finely
pulverized chocolate sprinkled freely
about infested premises.
Cockroaches are the commonest and
most offensive of the house pests.
Four kinds are often found in houses,
offices, etc. These are the American
roach, a native insect; the European
or Oriental roach, known in England
as the black beetle; the Australian
roach; and the little German roach,
commonly known in this country as
the Croton bug.

MARCH OF THE DEFENDERS

Oh, knights of hope and Spring-tide
marching, marching,
When shall you wear the flowers
again, and not the blood-stained
thorn?
Oh, young and dear, who come to lay
the splendor of your life away,
We know not what immortal bloom
from your brave dust is born
For bark! sound of marching -
marching, marching
We hear the thunder of the steps of
Michaels' host in Heaven;
The Force which struck the fiery Star
that kindled to lurid bar,
And fell as a red meteor when the
morning clouds were riven.
And they shall come-the gallant dead
to meet us, marching
The souls that made of earths dark
wars n golden memory.
The Maid of France shall ride again,
grave captains at her side again,
And Nelson's spirit on the wave shall
call to victory.
Oh, hosts of light, that strive and die,
oh, great ranks, marching,
Still hold aloft the deathless rose,
your hope OF years to be-
Where ruin marked the steps of
wrong again the Spring shall
break in song,
And valiant lilies, white and red,
shall flower from sea to sea.

Is the first thought in building a house
"a good foundation which is intended
not only to preserve the unity of the
building that is TO come, but also to
be the means of holding it In place.
Later, all the finishing touches can be
added to make the house beautiful.
What is true of the house should also
be true of your costuming. Be sure
that the foundation-the corset-is
right. This is the beginning, after
ward you can add to it beautiful clothes
Tor usefulness and adornment.
Correct corsets are even more i'm
portant this year than ever before. as
serts an authority. If you have any
desire to look attractive, and every
woman should have a keen sense of
the value OF always looking her best.
not only does the silhouette demand
that there be good figure beneath,
but the accessories also demand
that the corset be well fitting, for this
is season of vests and vestees, which
will not and cannot look smart or fit
well unless the underneath fits well.
There is no need these days for any
woman to buy q corset at random or
to wear corset that is in any way I'M
comfortable, for there is such a variety
of shapes, sizes and measurements
that, no matter what your need may be,
there is corset made TO fill your re-

Just buying corset, because 1t is

gowned and comfortable. Such wom-
en- appreciate the fact that it is i'm

counter and by holding it in the hand

The time spent in the retail shop,

hundredf0ld, and every shop nowadays
would far rather go TO the trouble of
trying on corsets In order to have the
