In view_ of the steady rise in the cost of foodstuffs, this is a circum- stance that should not be overlook- ed. Fish is one of the most nutri- tious of foods, and, if purchased intelligently, would prove to be one of the cheapest. . There are `certain varieties of fresh fish, such as hake, pollock, skate, etc., which can be procured at certain seasons at ex- tremely low prices, but which in at least some large inland centres nd practically no sale. To remedy this, it is first of all necessary to break down what appears to be a sort of traditional prejudice against the use of such sh. But many house- sons in which the several varieties "of edible sh can be obtained most cheaply.
