This has been brought about by the fact that the demonstrations in the labor- story have shown the Maine canners the advantage of improved methods and of striving to:make a quality sar- dine to meet the demand for a better class of goods which the war's in- terference with imports has largely lincreased. Before the laboratory was established the Maine packers were competing bitterly amongst thomselves in an effort to produce a’ can of goods that could be sold at some pro- fit for the low prices then offered by the jobbers and the wholesalers.

Under the old form of competi- tion some of the packers paid very little atténtion to the characteér or size of fish and some at times packed ale- wives, silver hake and smelt as well a8 the small herring which is the American sardine. They also fre- quently packed what were known as | “feedy fish. These were flsh that had fed plentifully on a microscopic crus- tacean and small shrimp. When the fish were packéd with their bodies full of this feed, changes in the food had a tendency to soften the fléesh of the fish with the result that they broke before placing them in the cans. After the packers began to compete on a quality rather than a cost basis a simple way of doing away with “feedy” fish was em- ployed.. All that is necessary is to leave the sardines for a short time in the weirs in which they are caught, until they can digest thé¢ shrimp and small crustaceans. Another tendency under the former hurried methods of packing the | ish was to ‘over-salt them or to leave them too long in bfine in the boats which bring them from the weirs. In other cases the fish were mutilated by bad handling or keépt 80 long hefore cooking that they lost much of their flavor. Excessive salt- ing also destroyed the delicate flavor of the fish and made them “salt fish” FISCHER'S ALES~LAGERS Try these brews just once, please—at OUR request.

Under the new methods the boats are equipped with better tanks and care is being taken to get the fish quick- 1y to the packers and into the steam cooker or fryer in good condition. In preparing fish for the cans, es- pecially in the case of small fish, there was a tendency, because of the haste, to pull their heads off with the fingers instead of . cutting them properly with shears. This pull- ing or “snipping” as it is called, fre- aquently left portions' of the hard glills of the fish in the can and these gills frequently separated from the fish, ‘leaving inedible portions in the oil and giving it an undesirable look. Under the néw competition in qual- ity, fish are being brought to the | packing houses in much better con- ditions and . are being handled there much- more carefully so as to get them into the cans in as nearly per- fect condition as possible. Factories Clean Now, The most marked improévement. however, has ‘been the intérest the packers have taken in cleaning up their factories especially in seeing fish are dried, the steam, cookers, and the other machinery for - handling and canning, are kept in good con- dition. Under the old system not only the condition of the floors but of the tables as well, was frequent- 1y disregarded. This year practical- ly every factory in Maine has cleaned its floors and put its tables and other working equipment in such shape that a clean product can be produced. The factories are also pro- hibiting the throwing around of re- fuse and requiring the cleaning up of of floors and other parts of the fac- tory as rapidly as they are soiled. In the case of the flakes or wire- mesh frames on which the fish are dried and then sent into the steam room, the greater attention to clean- liness has had a marked effect on the appearance of the canned pro- duct. TUnder the old system when these flakes were not always cleaned after each run, parts of the cooked fish clung to the meshes. It was ; found that thtse fragnments of fish and the condition of the flakes made it practically . impossible to produc a can of sardines in clear, clcnni Glenn’s No other toilet soap is as effi- cient in clearing the com- plexion of blemishes. The sulphur Purifies | ithe crowd showered them with gifts | postal employes for a war benus of a oil, as the fragments on the flakes would stick to the new fish and color the oil in the can. During the Jast season practically all of the packers paid marked attention to these ‘matters with the result that ! this year’s product in quality of fish and oil is held by experts and by the trade to be far superior to the previous runs. BELGIAN PRISONERS CHEERED BY PEOPLE Bruges Inhabitants Despite Order of Germans Gave Fellow Country- men Resounding Welcome, (Corfespondence of the Associated Press.) Amsterdam, April 30.—Seventy Bel- glan prisoners who recently passed through Bruges in charge of a guard of German cavalry received a resound- ing welcome from the Belgian * in- hebitants of the town, notwithstand- ing the orders of the German munici- pal authorities that no demonstrations were to take place. The prisoners, who inciuded in- fantrymen and engineers, were cap- tured near Driegrachten. As they passed down the streets of Bruges, the | reople of the town gathered along the sidewalks. Hats and handkerchiefs were waved in the air and there were shouts of “Vive la Belgigue,” “Leve Relgie” and “Leve de Koning.” The prisoners smiled and answered back: “Courage, comrades.” Meanwhile of fruit, sandwiches cheese. While the enthusiasm was hieight, some of the German men charged the crowd. It is said that the municipal authorities will assess a fine against the populace for tihe unauthorized demonstration. REFUSES WAR BONUS OF DOLLAR A WEEK chocolate, and at s herse- British Postmaster General Declines to Grant Request of Postal Employes, (Corréspondence of the Associated Fress.) Londen, April 20.—The British postmaster general has definitely re- Tused to grant the request of the dollar a week to meet the increased <cost of living caused by the war. The bonus asked for was to be paid only to workers receiving less than $20 a week. The postmaster general stated.that ciesses in the country. Moreover, he explains, compliance with this request from the post office workers would necessitate corresponding grants to all government employes of a similar status and would therefore 1mpose a very heavy burden on the treasury. The postal employes are arranging for protest meetings with the object of urging the cabinet to reconsider its decision.
