GOOD UTS FOR "
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, March 4 (by mail).—
Fish that have been out of the water
only an hour or so are quite common
in officers’ messes at the front now
No Sunday dinner is complete with
out a nice broiled or baked pike
There may even be a trout or two
sometimes.
An American major who until re
cently was with the British army in
Flanders taught his fellow-officers the'
trick of how to get fresh fish without j
fishing for them. There is no time
for fishing, even when it might be
good, with Gormans in the hills all i
round waiting to shoot at something.'
The major was passing a lake just
in the rear of our first line the other
afternoon when he saw a large pike
swimming along near the surface.
Next afternoon he came back to the
lake with a handful of grenades. He
banged two of them on a stone and
I dropped them into the water.
There were two muffled explosions
and then in about two minutes up
floated three large pike, one of themi
nearly four feet long. The major
hauled them to shore with a stick
and carried them off. The mess had
fish for dinner, and it tasted not only
good but like more. So he gave away
the secret and told how he used to
get trout in Flanders the same waf t
There are a number of lakes in our
sector, and all of them are teeming
with fish, as the location has not been
quiet enough for anglers to visit them
for many months.

CAMP LEWIS
CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash,
April 19.—No one minds the rain at;
Camp Lewis—not now. They did atl
first. They came with their rubbers!
and raincoats and umbrellas, but they!
quickly discarded them and now they
are just as much at home in a steady
shower as the eastern visitor is in
Southern California.
Rain or shine, the soldiers at camp
go on with their drill just the same,
whether it is on the parade ground,
on the range or in the trenches. The '
weather can't be made to suit them
when they get into action in France,
and they are taking it as it comes
here.
But they had to learn that rain
doesn’t hurt one. “It’s a dry rain,’’ is
the way the natives term it. “It
isn’t so bad when you’re used to it,”
is the mild compliment paid by the
acclimated men. It moistens the
lungs and dries so quickly that there
is little inconvenience in getting wet.
There is lots of raip, but the general
health of the men is better here than
in civil life, and that rather shows
| that a little rain doesn’t hurt anyone.
UinS MADE TO
MOTH TIWION
LONDON, April 19.—Shipping inter
ests have made strong representations
to the British foreign office against
Argentina’s new war tax of about 50
cents a ton on all overseas vessels
entering Argentine ports. It is al
leged that the tax will be a heavy
burden upon cargo vessels sent to the
River Platte to carry away the 2,000,
000 tons of wheat purchased there for
the allies.

FAVORITE FISH DISHES.
Fish Is a favorite food and one
which Is common in many parts or our
country. Where
fresh fish Is not to
be obtained, the
markets afford
both dry canned,
smoked and pickled
fish.
Salt Codfish
Spanish Style.—
Take a half pound
of salt codfish, one clove of garlic
finely chopped, one cupful of tomato
sauce, one chopped onion, a few
dashes of paprika, a quarter of a cup
ful of olive oil, one-half of a sweet
red pepper. Soak the codfish over
night and simmer in fresh water for
forty minutes. Remove the bones and
lay the shredded fish in a buttered
baking dish. Fry the onion, pepper,
and garlic in the olive oil and add the
toma{o sauce. Cut triangles of toast
ed bread, fry in oil and use as a
garnish around the dish. Cook for
fifteen minutes and serve hot.
Turban of Fish.—Take two and a
half cupfuls of fish, flake it. one and a
half cupfuls of milk, one slice of
onion, a blade of mace, a sprig of
parsley, one-quarter of a cupful of
sweet fat, the same of flour, the yolks
of two eggs, lemon juice and salt and
pepper and a cupful of buttered
crumbs. Make the sauce by melting
the fat and when bubbling hot stir in
the flour. When well-cooked add the
milk which hns been scalding with the
onion, and blade of mace; remove
them and add the egg yolks, seasoning
with salt and pepper and lemon juice.
Put a layer of fish and a layer of
sauce in a buttered baking dish until
all are used. Cover with crumbs and
bake in a hot oven until the crumbs
are brown.
Crab Canapes.—Cut bread in slices
a quarter of an inch in thickness,
three inches long and an inch and a
half wide. Spread with butter and
brown in the oven. Mix a cupful of
crab meat with a teaspoonful of tabas
co sauce, half a teaspoonful of olive
oil. Mark the bread diagonally in four
sections and spread alternately with
cheese and the crab mixture.

Cigar is the largest-selling high-grade
cigar in the United States?
