Of smoked salmon on a

much better than many expensive
bits of landscape gardening offered

Many people do not know this de-
licious, soft, moist, pink, dried fish

acquaintance. A shredded bit of
smoked herring and a few sweet
spiced picked onions add interest to

wv 7 1Th the wave of interior

danger Of making our homes too

making fetish OF beauty, and as an

Fine Fish Relishes
Economically
Provided
BY Virginia Carter Lee

EDo 9TH salt and smoked fish are
, not SO well known as they
should be in the average fam
lily, for, with the exception of the
salt cod and mackerel, they are rare
~ used. Now, however, that Lent
is here, the wise home caterer will
do we'll to make their acquaintance
and find how really good they are.
In cost, with the exception of the
varieties already mentioned, they are
not cheap commodities, as they cost
about the same a pound as the
fresh fish of the same kinds; but, on
the other hand, they go much fur
ther, as when scalded or freshened
they increase in bulk and their de-
licious flavor makes them especially
desirable when combined with other
ingredients or served with 8 good
sauce that always increases the food
value of any dish. Nor Is there so
much waste as with fresh fish.
SpeciaIsies in Fish Relishes
In connection with smoked and
salt fish I would like to mention the
tiny jars of anchovy and bloater
paste. These cost 80 cents each, but
as only a bit of the contents is re-
quired (use no additional salt in
any compound into which the paste
enters) they are not extravaganza;
and jar Of each should stand on
the pantry shelf. Strips Of buttered
toast spread with the paste and
busted with cress ars delicious It'd
bits to serve with any egg prepara-
tion and the anchovy paste blended
with cream cheese furnishes a deli
cious sandwich filling or the "top-
ping" for an appetizing canape.
Almost all the smoked fish (hali-
but, salmon, finnan haddie and
mackerell are very good when scald-
ed, dried and broiled Lay on hot
platter and spread quickly with the
following dressing: Melt three
tablespoonsful of cleo and add
quarter of teaspoonful Of paprika,
one teaspoonful of lemon juice, one
tablespoonful Of chopped parsley and
half a teaspoonful of Worcestershire
sauce.
The salt fish varieties are also de-
licious when picked and they may
be served plain as relish, faxed
and added to a potato or vegetable
salad or used with some edible green
as a tasty sandwich filling. To pre-
pare, freshen the fish overnight in
cold water and In the morning drain,

see it. There is no question about
their genius, but some are naturally
more endowed than others, and these
become master-worllmen. l wish
could buy some of their statuettes,
which are simply beautiful and not
high-priced, copies of famous Cupids,
venuses or Apollos, but the trouble
is getting them home after carrying
them half over Europe.
Ever since we entered Italy, these
people have repelled me, for they
have such ugly, villainous faces, but
since l have seen those beautiful
pieces of statuary, l feel different.
They must have some good in them
to be able to create such gems of art,
vet their streets smell of all sorts of
vile odors and their houses are per-
vaded with the smell of garlic, onions
and unsavory cooking. The bulk of
these cities remind me of the slums
of New York, they are so miserably
poor and unsanitary.
The contrast between this people
and their beautiful land of sunshine,
flowers and works of art, is so marked
that l sometimes wonder as watch
them. if the United States is not
making a grave error in admitting
them so freely in our own land of
good, clean Americans. l went
through one of their universities at
Genoa, and even that was dirty and
smelled as bad as the streets. ! am
sorry for them and realize how hard
their lives must be over here, bat l
would prefer to keep the odors on
this side of the Atlantic.
We have all the fruit we can eat,
as is it, served almost entirely for
dessert, so we can always fall back on
that if the food begins to get too
bad. However, this is a very nice no
tel, and while 1 do not like Italian
cookery, they gave usa fine dinner
with -beefsteak! The first /
have tasted since landed in Eu-
rope.
Well, goodnight and God bless you.
Devotedly,
GRACE.

about 35O,OOO population. For those
in search of the quaint and odd, this
;s the place, for there is no telling
ever what may turn up next. A gar
den here and there different from any
other garden in the world, with foun-
tains, statuary, and the most wonder
full fowers-japonicas, daffodils and
eeraniums all in full bloom. Next
will be a castle or palace which al
ways looks deserted, and churches,
cathedrals and fine monuments.
But these must be viewed along
with filth and bad smells and degen-
erateclass of people. This must be
"the twilight age of kings" as the
palaces are all deserted or occupied
now by banks.
On his arrival the first object OF
interest pointed out to the tourist OF
the cemetery which seems to prove
the truth of the old adage that the
best part of Italy lies under the
ground" We found when we went
there that it is really the most re-
markable place of the kind in the
world. The Genoise take great pride
in the place and each family seems
to vie with his neighbor in trying to
see how expensive monument ne
can put there to the dead. The dead
are not buried. They are put in huge
vaults, the body being slipped in like
a drawer of a piece of furniture. My
private opinion is that it would be
better for the community if they
spent little more money on the liv-
ing and cut down expenses on the
dead.
We get quantities of fruit and all
so cheap-dates and tangerines, figs
etc., but the cooking is very inferior
to the French. Though nobody can
cook like the French, there is more
to eat here and cheaper. Yet this
whole crowd of inn-keepers are set
of cheats and swindlers. No matter
how you watch them change francs
into lire or how iron clad bargain
you make, they are smooth enough to
4'get" you in the deal.
With best love to all of you,
GRACE.

Make Life Clean and Joyous.

The fourteen points" Of The "Wo-
mans Auxiliary Of the Episcopal
Church in the United States, are be-
ing printed everywhere. They are
part of an "appeal for a nationwide
return to sanity and right living IN
order that the lives of all the people
may be clean and joyous" as we'll as
"a announcement of present condl-
tons" These fourteen points have,
we believe, been given before in these
columns, but they will bear repeti-
ton:
Silence vulgar conversations.
Don't swear.
Avoid improper drinking.
Cease painting your face.
Stop joyriding.
Shun suggestive motion pictures.
Eliminate promiscuous dance halls.
Ban immoral plays.
Bar salacious literature.
Beware of the general Indifference
to reasonable safeguard of proper
conduct.
Make life clean and joyous.
The Florida Times-Union regards
these appeals as being made to the
elders more than to the young people,
saying: There is nothing that pa
rents of today need to do so much
as to have regard for their personal
conduct, especially, as they are set
t;ngexamples for their children. What
can be expected of children whose pa
rents Disregard the niceties of life?
Generally speaking it will be we'll
for all people to decide to make these
fourteen points" as put forth by
the woman's auxiliary, their individ-
ual guide to conduct. Their observ--
ance will not only help their own
lives to be "clean and joyous" but
will have very decided influence for
good on the younger members of the
family and of society of today"
This Woman's Auxiliary has under
taken a splendid work, and its effort
is sure to result in good. There is in
the world today-in our world-too
pronounced departure from the
simplicity and purity of language and
manners. 1t is, propably, more notice
able among the young people. How
ever, the young people will not go far
astray, and will not remain long
astray, if their elders proceed along
the lines of refinement and purity in
this conduct.-Augusta Chronicle.

Tampa, Fla, March 20.-Charges
of conspiracy to violate the Volstead
act will be pressed against Harry S.
Black, New York millionaire, and his
two negro employees before the fed

day. According to Mr.. Phillips, the
grand jury will meet in Miami the
last Monday in April to take up the
case.

Francis Black, New York multi-mil-

quor laws on orders from Gov. Carey
A. Hardee, was released today when
Edward C. Romfh, president of the

Theodore G. Houser, trustee of the
same bank, appeared and gave their
personal bond of $1,000 for Black
and $1,000 for the negro porter en-
ployed on Blacks private Pullman
car.
Black, who was taken into custody
early last Thursday morning after
local and federal authorities had
.aided his private car and seized 55
cases of liquor stored in it, was re-
cased Friday by United States Com
missioner John NJ. Graham. J.sR.

at the hearing that he had placed the
iouor aboard without Blacks knowl-
edge.

Yesterday Governor Hardee tele-
graphed Sheriff Allen of Dade county
asking information as to the dispo-
;ition of the case and in later mes
sage informed the sheriff that Blacks S

axonerate him under the state laws.
The sheriff at once swore out war
rants for Black and his porter, j. R.
Mandley, and wired the West Palm
Beach authorities to hold the mil
lionaire. Black supplied a cash bond
of $4,000 for himself and porter.
This bond will be returned to him to-
day being automatically cancelled by
that of the Miami bankers.

Royal Victoria Hotel,
Pisa, Italy,
February End, 1921.

February End, 1911.
Dearest Mother:
We left Genoa "the city of Marble
Palaces" as it is called, today, and l
was not altogether sorry to leave it,
as a strike of the tram cars was pend
ing and the streets were blocked with
soldiers and ilde workmen. The only
other place of special interest beside
the Marble Palaces was the Campo
Santo," the finest burial ground in
Italy, and so far as know, it may
be the finest in the world.
The trip from Genoa to Pisa is
right through the Alps mountains and
at least half the distance is under
them, for tunnels make up half the
scenery. What views we could snatch
were the usual ones of vines, orange
groves and flowers, and more beauti-
full flowers of every variety | have
never seen. Roses, geraniums and car
nations are in full bloom everywhere
in the open air. Another interesting
sight was passing the marble mines
or Carrara. l have heard all my life
of Carrara marbles as the finest in
the world. and l can add my verdict
that the hills seem covered with snow
wherever it is dug out all through
the mountains.
Although Pisa is not seaport, it
reminds me somewhat of Genoa, for
the similarity is in the age of both,
and the bad smells and dirty looking
people. There are no sidewalks to
speak of in either, and pedestrians,
push-carts, carriages and automobiles
all go along the same way. Of course
there is general mix-up and there
would probably be many accidents
anywhere else, but here nobody hur-
ries, and one vehicle quietly waits for
the other to get out of the way, so
there are no collisions to worry over.
Pisa is situated on the Arno and
has three objects of interest to at
tract the tourist:
First, is the Leaning Tower
which started on its downward
course" ages ago, but its present po-
sition is due to an earthquake, and
it was not complete till six centuries
later on. Next is the Baptistry, and
last the beautiful Cathedral of Piaz-
"a del Duomo. All these stand near
together, so we had no trouble in find
ing them and looking them over this
afternoon. On the way we visited
some studios of artists who were al
work on statuary made of this beautl,
full Carrara marble. This work is the
chief industry of Pisa, and in spite
of the dirt of the streets, it raises the
people in your estimation as yor
watch them chisel out forms of ex
ouisite beauty from blocks Of marble
There is a school here for training

Modern If1Iy

The reader Of New Italy will feel
that the title Is we'll chosen, for as
compared with the conditions a half
century ago 1t Is new Italy. The
writer's begin with y a sketch of the
political history Of this period, en-
phasizing the progress made through the
part now taken in the government by
the people at large. The educational
growth Is shown by the fact that while
fifty years ago the average Of illiterates
was 90 per cent, in 1916 It was only
37.S per cent of the population. The
agricultural development, the improve
ments Of the internal means Of com
munication, the reforms in admins
tration and taxation, the measures for
the protection of workmen and children
and the intellectual expansion are all
carefully treated. The closing chapters
show how Italy was led to Join Great
Britain and France in the war with
Germany and Austria. Throughout the
work there. are numerous references to
the men who have been the leaders In
the. reforms which have made the new
Italy.
