It's good enough for me.
Our horses went s-plenty fast.

Our buggy had a boot and back
And leather round the fills:
Our Portland sleigh was picked a-twice
For leap-year rides, by gee,
and if 'twould do for Pansy Price

And neckties. now and then,

Preparing Fish for Lenten Meals.

Lent is early this year. II remains
to be seen if the hens are going to rise
to the occasion and lay eggs in suffi-
cient abundance to bring down the
price for that season of fasting. Fish,
however, we have always with us. That
is not as cheap as it used to be either
but it is at all events cheaper than
meat and a most wholesome change.
One sometimes hears people say they
don't like fish and the question always
arises in our minds, DO they know
how to cook it Some housewives
always fry fish, no matter what kind
it is, because that is the easier way.

fried and Others are spoiled by that
process. A rather dry meated fish, for
example is poor fried but excellent
boiled. 1t used to be quite bother to
boil fish when il had to be wrapped
in cloth to keep it whole. Now, how.
ever, one can get in enameled ware
kettle which solves that problem. 1t
has in il a tray on which the fish can
be placed. Its long shape enables it to
take a good.sized fish and serve it
whole and handsome. Cooking in this
way is another improvement on old
fashioned boiling, as the fish is actually
cooked by steam and none of the good
Of the fish is wasted. Also in enameled
ware comes rooster which il intended
for meat primarily, and it is wonder

This rooster is ideal for baking a fish |
A fish TO be baked should be stuffed |
with a very highly seasoned dressing
just as one would a chicken. 1t also
improves the fish very much if it is

WHY SALTON SEA is SALT.
The Creation of the Colorado River Is
Subject to the Vagaries of the
Stream

Reports that the Salton sea is
shrinking rapidly form the basis for a
bulletin by the National Geographic
society explaining the causes OF this
natural wonder of the West.
MANY centuries ago the Gulf of
California extended to a point about
100 miles northwestward from its pres
ent head" says the bulletin, which
quotes from communication 10 the
society by Arthur p. Davis.
ut also extended up the present val
ley of the Colorado river at least to
Yuma, and probably somewhat above.
The Colorado river, rising in the Wind
river mountains of Wyoming and the
Rocky mountains of Colorado, carved
the rocks along its course and brought
the resulting sand and muds down in
its swift current, diseharging them
into the arm Of the gulf, near Yuma.
As this process went on without ces-
sation century after century the valley
was gradually filled, delta built up,
over which the river flowed far out
into the gulf. II encroaehed progress
sively upon the shores of the gulf un-
til il built up delta entirely across,
joining the foothills of the Cocopah
mountains on the western shore. This
cut off the head of the gulf, and the
arid climate rapidly evaporated the
waters thus separated and left an in
land depression, which at its lowest
point was nearly 300 feet below sea
level. II is estimated that the amount
of salt carried by the lower Colorado
river was sufficient to cover 50 square
miles one foot deep with dry alluvial
soil each year
THE river continued to bring down
its load of sediment and to build its
delta higher and force it farther into
the gulf. Like all such deltaic streams,
the channel on the top Of the delta is !
shifting cutting one bank, |
up the other, overlooking both |
banks and during high water some /
times entirely abandoning an old chan
lel for new one. In this way the /
liver has from time to time flowed into /
he Salton sea for some years or cen
.uries and anon has shifted to the east
ward and discharged again into the
yulf. This is the general course the
liver has followed ever since its dis
'overy by the Spaniards in the 10th
entury At high water the river nor
nally oyerilows its banks in the valley
egions all the way from the Grand
anon TO the Gulf of California. In
high water, such as occurred
n 1891. the overflow running into the
,alton sink has been sufficient TO ma
crially raise the level of the lake and

The Morale Of the Army.

The morale of the army is not good.
The unparalleled number Of resigna
tions since the armistice is alleged to
be due not merely to the increase in
the cost of living. but TO the methods
employed in making promotions during
the war The war department has not
yet agreed on a system by which Off
GERS are to be promoted, or repromoted
in the future There are emergency
field officers at present giving orders to
their subordinates of the regular army
who were their superiors two years
ago. This condition cannot last and
should be changed IL is merely a
question of detailing the commissioned
personnel on a peace-time basis. New

THE WAY ONE LADY FEELS AFTER
SUFFERING TWO YEARS

Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchcdness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. +. D. No. /,

been terrible. No one, after read

doubt the great healing power
Of PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
letter is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman

equal of this reliable, time-tried

place their sole dependence on it

aModernizean Wedding Rings.

Wives Who are adding another item
to the high cost of living by insisting
on having their plain gold wedding
ring "modernized" may have over
looked one Of the results Of this which
has recently been called to attention
by an eastern apostle of thrift and
student Of human affairs The one ad
vantage that has accrued to an I'M
changing style of wedding ring has
been that il did not betray the age
OF the wearer More recently the ten
dency to alter the mode from year to
year has furnished an unfailing histor-
ical index to the curious The woman
who now insists on the 1920 pattern,
with its platinum adornment, not only
contributes to the compleNity Of civil
ization but stores up trouble for her
self along in l9i5. if she is sensitive
about her age. which it is likely she
will be about that time. A better way
would seem to be to cling to the vint-
age Of grandmother day, which would
have everybody guessing and keep the
secret intact. Portland 0regonian.

 Allow me to thank you for your as- sistance to the army and the war depart ment during the past two years. The Sai- vation Army has played a vital part in the life and welfare of our citizen-sol- dier, both in the theater of operations during the world war and in the camps and cities of America. The Salvation Army has been and still appears to be definitely interested in this benevolent work. The cooperation of your army with the military forces of the United States and the valuable work rendered Salvation Army during the world war that the Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, advocates q continuance of the cooperation.
 In letter to Miss Evangeline c. Booth, commander of the Salvation Army the country is sincerely appreciated.
 The wholesale recreation and char acter-building in which your organiza- tion took such an active part during the war and during the demobilization of our troops appeals especially to the mothers and fathers of our soldiers and ex-sol- diers throughout the country
 Tt is hoped that the army may count on the further assistance of your or ganization in making clear to these pa rents of newly recruited men the moral and educational benefits of service with the military establishment. Your appeal will be respected and your sympathetic and active cooperation will be deeply appreciated.
 T am confident that you may be re- lied upon to help the army in any great task which it may undertake"
