Pol should not be boiled. It may be aerved hot by heating slowly in an aluminum pan set in a larger dish of hot water. Favorite blends may be made by serving it with bacon and gravy, country style, or with codfish, New England style. Instead of using boiled potatoes with your bacon or codfish, use hot poi. A very delicious and unusual way at leaat to haoles, is to serve poi with a special sauce.

Thia is called loml poi. The poi, thick, is served in individual bowls and on the side is served this sauce which consists of chopped salt salmon, tomatoes. Onion, green peppers or plmientos and a very little Spanish pepper. This all to be cut up fine and diluted with a little water. And here's one for breakfast: Take the paiai, which ia poi not fermented but as it Is first ground from the taro, make small cakes pf it and fry in bacon fat as you would fish cakes.

If you should desire a little more elaborate breakfast try the fried paial with a little butter and sugar on It, or syrup, very much as you would eat fried mush. You must remember, though, that the pufrl-ness lasts only a few minutes and the palal when prepared in this manner must be eaten at once.

Mrs. Cox also suggested the following recipe. as an adaptation from taro pudding, or kulolo, as printed trom a recipe given by Mrs. Mary OF EflHLY RAID this poi which makes it so necessary and such a health-giving food to some people and which we have nerhans nassed un lust because it are not the only relics which an enterprising person may find among the primitive burial sites of the Marianas.

Hundreds of weathered 'coral monoliths, some with their hemispherical capitals still intact, mark the ceremonial burial places of Guam's prehistoric dead. In similar types they also mark the mouldering remnants of the primitive inhabitants of Rota, Titian and Eai-pan. "Ilakga is the Chtmorro name for the ancient tombstones; "tasa" is the term by which the- capitals are designated; and the burial grounds as a whole ere known as Matte." 50 Burial Grounds It Is estimated that there are approximately 272 latte on the island of Guam, all of which are built with from 8 to 12 those of eight uprights comprising: at least SO per cent of tleir number.
