Praise Coolidge
And Administration

Washington, May 6.-(P)-The bish-
ops OF the Methodist Episcopal church
today congratulated President Cool
idge on the success of his administra-
ton and particularly on his rigid
tnsistence" that the prohibition amend
ment must be enforced.
MT Coolidge in reply expressed ap-
probation of the good wishes and
support" given the government by
that vast body of communicates and
adherents embraced in Methodism."
The address to the president was
delivered by Joseph F. Berry. senior
bishop of the Denomination, when the
assembled group of church dignitaries
visited the White House as a part of
their conference here. The ceremonies
took place in the East Room with
both Bishop Berry and Mr.. Coolidge
speaking from prepared manuscripts.
The president was told by the bish-
op that he had earned the gratitude
of every patriotic American" by his
rigid insistence upon enforcement of
law. especially that amendment to the
federal constitution which is intend
ed to destroy forever the diabolism
which inhereS in the liquor traffic"
Admiration was expressed also for
the efforts of the president to secure
economy in government expenditures
and for his "steadfast stand in behalf
of world peace and his Influential
advocacy of a permanent court of in
ternational Justice
Replying, Mr.. Coolidge recalled that
1t had been a custom of the board of
bishops, whenever they have been in
Washington, to call at the White
House and ito declare their faith in
that power which guides our destinies,
and to assure the president of their
answering allegiance"
From the days of Asbury, whose
services in carrying the word through
the length and breadth of our infant
nation are commemorated in a statue
in this city, your bishops have been
consecrated, outstanding men, fighting
for the cause of righteousness, justice
and humanity" he continued.
1T was in accord with basic truths
of the universe that the signers of the
Declaration of Independence declared
their reliance upon the protection of a
Divine Providence. Founded upon re-
ligion. our government has derived
strength and stability from the re-
liSious nature of its people. If we are
to maintain our national existence. we
must continue to cherish and foster
this spirit which underlies and per-
Vades all enduring achievement

In 1925. American Gamers packed
nearly 289,000,090 pounds OF salmon,
nearly 65 per cent OF which was pink
and chum salmon. These grades are
packed in the same manner and they
are just as wholesome as red or king
solmon. Unfortunately For a great
many years the only salmon canned,
were the red-meated kinds. and the
public has come so intimately to as
sociate the color with the product
that pink or pale fieshed fish have
been regarded with disfavor or sus-
picion. Even light-meated chinook.
common in some localities, have not
found n ready market. Color is
matter OF appearance only. but pref
udice and custom have caused the
public to pass by the cheaper and
equally wholesome pink and chum
principally because they are not red
when canned.
'Pinks and chums usually contain
less fat but are equal to the redder
varieties in protein-tissue-b building
material They are low priced because
of their abundance and the use of
labor-saving machinery in handling

salmon will keep Indefinitely if I'M

a variety of ways if desired. &.
Chum and pink salmon contain more
than ten times as much iodine as
meat, milk, eggs, cheese. fresh-water
fish. or most of our fruits and vege-
tables. The more liberal replace
ment of pink and chum salmon for
the higher priced red-meated fish
will help TO conserve the supply of
the latter.
