FOREIGN DELICACIES STRANGELY PREPARED The giant single-piece kavieroe of the southern Italians and Sicilians, is made from the big tuna r-h. This big, red-fleshed fish, with a body often the . size of a horse, is often seen in the Miilhftrrv nlaza. reeion of Manhattan. But since it is too unwieldly to take into the store, it i3 sold piecemeal from the wagon or truck Uept standing off the curb. The tuna-kaviar is sun-dried to a point where nobody would ever recognize it as a dainty relish for the lunch table. It resembles a piece of sun-greyed shriveled wood appears as hard and falls with a thud like wood. The interior is dingy, yellowish, of most delectable and refreshing taste. A Japanese mackerel-steak, as imported, " resembles a petrified article. A few parings of a penknife from the boxwood-like substance tells you that you are in the presence of a delectable bonito-steak for which the NipontA in America pay two dollars a pound. It is used sparingly, however, by the Orientals, who grate it for use in soups and salads. The so-called "bombal duk" so much used by Orientals as a curry in rice dishes is a regular Niponese product. It is fish, lipened to the point where the cellular tissue breaks down through decomposition. Then it is sundried and put up in cans. The odor is disgustingly penetrating. In use, the Asiatics take up a little of the light-brown substance and powder it between the fingers over their plates of cooked rice. And in addition to all these, according to the Scientific American, a certain fish-product is on daily sale as a supposed cure for rheumatism. This is the eel-skin. Tine skin Is tied around arm or elbow or wrist or ankle or thish, or elsewhere near the affected part. SUSPECT DISMISSED IN N. Y.

Bohemia's Moving Day By FREDERICK J. HASKIN
NEW YORK, Nov. 2 Art is lc-ving Greenwich Village in sad haste this year. Studios, with huge north windows and facades trimmed with old rose and pea green paint, are more numerous than ever, but because they can no longer siford it. Before tha invasion of the returning wealthy bourgeoisie who once more choose to reside in the vicinity of Washington Square, the artists must retreat but where? This is what they themselves ask you, with a rather desperate air. Where, indeed, can they find an inexpensive, down-at- the-heels neighborhood into which they can infuse their own careless and artistic atmosphere without attracting a pursuing mob of rich, would-be Bohemians? For like Mrs. Vanderbilt, the artists of Mar hattan suffer from too-great popularity. As soon as they move into a locality, get their easels and smocks unpacksd, let treir beards grow, put antique brass k.ckers on their front doors and pink borders around their windows. Wall street brokers follow suit, and rents ri- i. The rich grew weary and deserted Greenwich Village more than half a century ago. Their great estate gave place to rows of mid-Victorian dwellings, owned i.d occupied by respectable merchant families. When the elevated trains started coming down Sixth avenue as far as Bleeker street, with the business in their wake, the merer! 'ot families moved on. Clerks and small retailers tok over their houses until in time the immigrants came and crowded them out. The neighborhood had set In for a period of rapid decay, such as thatwhich destroyed the once-lovely Third Avenue, and property-owners of the district had resigned themselves to great pecuniary loss, when suddenly New York artists discovered the possibilities of Washington Square. They entered and took possession of the district, ousting the immigrants, remodeling the old-fashioned houses and stables, lending a picturesque enchantment to dingy garrets and base - monts anH Pnomirin? th pstahlish-1 ments, and encouraging the establish ment of cafes and boarding houses catering to artistic taste. For several years Greenwich Village really contained an art colony of genuine distinction. Then it became famous. People spoke of it as the Latin Quarter of America, and as such it began to hold enormous attractions for the curious. Many astute persons who had settled in the neighborhood to study art now decided that it would be much more profitable to open restaurants and socalled art shops. Others went quietly about buying leases. Some of these were uptown real estate brokers, who laid their plans with deep sagacity. They kept rents very low to attract the artists, who unsuspectingly set to work remodeling and decorating the dilapidated homes they had leased. Then, at the end of a year, the landlords rented the premises at greatly increased prices to uptown business men. Atmosphere Expensive. ' Under this system, which has enriched so many landlords during the past five years, true art could not survive. Only rich and successful artists can now afford to live in the village, which has become one of the highestpriced sections in the city. Try hunting an apartment there and you will soon find out for yourself. Not a single basement or garret, however mean and inartistic, is to be had for less than $75 a month. Ten years ago, when the village was at the height of its artistic glory, the best floor in Washington Square South could be rented for $40 a month, while a rqom overlooking the park cost $5. Today, a room without a private bath (and also usually without steam heat or electricity) rents for $70 a month, and a whole floor (two rooms) will cost you $160. The picturesque little stables in Washington Mews, which once rented for $30 and $40 a month, now brine $4,000 a year, in addition to the cost of necessary repairs, which must be j made by the tenant. A well known painter rented one of these places for $2,000 four years ago. He stuccoed it, installed new plumbing, built a new fireplace and made other costly repairs, with the result that the following year his rent was raised to $3,000.
M He paid the increase, and the follow ing year his landlord attempted to collect $6,000 for the place. Now that the influx of business people from uptown shows signs of being permanent, however, the land lords have ceased bothering about repairs. Instead, they actually call attention to dinginess as a mark of atmosphere. "Yes. it is a trifle dark," a real estate agent will say to a Broad Street broker, who is looking at an apartment, "but very quaint, don't you think? No hideous electric bulbs or steam "diators or other modern atrocities. You will find a gas heater quite warm, and it throws such delightful! shadows on the wall. The woodwork! painted ? Well, you could have it done if you like, but this mellow shade of white is admired down here. Perhaps you also dislike the wallpaper; some people of course, do not care for such an intricate design " "On the contrary, it was the wallpaper that attracted me." says the broker, anxious to show that he knows something about art. "That, and the fireplace. I grew quite accustomed to fireplaces in England. How much is the rent $150? Well, wrap it up and I'll take it along." Some of the real estate agents, being art students on the side, are expert creators of atmosphere. They find artistic merits in every glaring defect and so dazzle the prospective tenant by descriptions of Bohemian life in the village that he is willing to sacrifice all comfort in order to live within the charmed circle. 'No, this room does not get the sun," the agent will explain with patient patronage, "but the marvelous reflection of the sun so necessary to artists." (He looks around hurriedly searching for some good points to play up, but sees notb'ng but rusty fixtures, cobwebs and dirt Nevertheless, his kind patronizing manner does not desert him). "The charm of this "particular house," he continues, "is Its privacy and freedom. There Is only one apartment to a floor, so that one is never disturbed by the pro V1""' 7 "C'6JUU'S- y inena, &o- ?. U may have heard Of him in unity or neighbors. w m a n the Village) particularly admires the Gothic appearance of this building." A Profitable Wreck. Tills I'sll a small-town woman who had lo'V? revered the name of Greenwick Village, decided to buv -a house there. Her idea, like that o'f the first art colonists years ago, was to secure a dilapidated place for a small amount of money and remodel it to suit herself. After searching throughout the district, she came upon precisely the kind of house she was looking for In Washington Square South. To her practical. Middle-Western eye the place seemed to be rapidly falling to pieces. It sagged limply toward the east, and its front steps looked as if they had been used for artillery pract-1 Ice. "No one has lived here for years" ! she thought, and hurried to the nearest ! real estate office. "That house is not for sale," the real ' estate clerk told her, "but if it werej it would cost you $50,000." i """ou cannot know, the one I mean," ; persisted the woman. "I am referring! to which would have to be ex-! tensively repaired before anyone could ' live in it. Surely, it can't be worth! even half of $30,000." "But it is," said the clerk, laughing. "And the only reason It is not for sale is that the landlord can make more money out of it renting it out in apart-1 ments. If you will go back and examine the place closely, Madam, you will see j that there are tenants living on every j floor." I With the village growing less artistic" and more expensive every day, the art-; ists are scattering in all directions, i A small colony settled in the Old Chel-1 sea section, but it now being ousted by ; the same clever real estate tactics, j Others have fled the city altogether, and have taken refuge in Brooklyn I and Jn outlying suburbs. A. large group has taken up its c--oce in the former aristocratic Broklyn Heights, but with no faith Jn the permanency of their security. The Heights so closely resemble Greenwich Village in every way that it is unreasonable to suppose a Latin Quarter established on their old-fashioned soil would long escape the attention of commercial interests. The same is probably true of the art colony near Spuyten Duyvil. Bronxville and New Rochelle shelter may distinguished artists, Dut . there J
. ...
has been no attempt to establish an art quarter in either suburb. In fact, the hope of founding another Greenwich Village in some other section grows dimmer and dimmer.
"W hat," the artists ask you, "would be the use? We would only be mirsued. The only thing that can help us is I time. Perhaps in time, the rich and successful will tire of the village. I realize with O. Henry that Bohemia is a land of illusion, and quiet . Then we'll all move back!" WOMAN IS HONORED (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 2.

"They are really suffering from cumulative constipation"
lOUNTLESS numbers of people have a daily
elimination ot waste matter from the system but this elimination is not thorough
and sufficient. They depend on a regular weekly purge to rid their intestines of poisons and they never feel the full vigor and zest that come from perfect health. This whole problem is so important that a wellknown medical journal has published a collection of essays on constipation. All the doctors who wrote these essays emphasize the importance of diet. As one physician puts it, "The diet has the most marked influence upon the normal activity of the bowels." Scientists have now discovered the simple food that helps restore normal conditions, and clears the body of accumulating waste matter just the familiar little cake of Fleischmann's Yeast! First came the startling discovery that Fleischmann's Yeast richly supplies, the essential watersoluble vitamine.

GIANTS' RUSE BLOCKS HANNIBAL'S TROOPS
(From the Detroit News) The old town of Molfetta, on the Adriatic, is rich in legends, one of which Constantine M. Panunzio narrates in his book, "The Soul of an Immigrant." While Hannibal was ravaging Italia Antics tne news reached Molfetta that a mighty host was about to descend upon it. The Roman centurion in command called the people together and told them to be of good cheer, for did they not boast one citizen alone, the giant of the place, who could drive back an entire army? The people had
intestines in their elimination of poisonous waste matter. Eat 2 to 3 cakes of Fleischmann's Yeast before or between meals every day. Have it on the table at home and on your desk at the office. - Eat it plain, spread on bread or crackers, or dissolved in water, milk or fruit juices. You will like its fresh, distinctive flavor and the cleant wholesome taste it leaves in your mouth. Fleischmann's Yeast is assimilated just like any other familiar food. Only one precaution: if troubled with gas, dissolve the yeast first in half a cup, of very hot water. This does not affect the efficacy of the yeast. Place a standing order with your grocer for Fleischmann's Yeast and get it fresh every day. Send 4 cents in stamps for the booklet, "The New Importance of Yeast in Diet." So many inquiries are coming in daily for this booklet that it is necessary to make this nominal charge to cover cost of handling and mailing.

As the invading army approached he began to utter unearthly howls and screams. Hannibal's chief of staff came up to him and asked him what was the matter. He replied: "I am the smallest man in the town, and my heartless neighbors have driven me out so that I may not be in their way when the fight really starts." The Carthaginian army retreated in record time.
