To KEEP FRESH FISH Vinegar is
better that ice for keeping fish over
night Housekeepers who are obliged
to be economical should go to the fish
stalls toward evening, and they can, by
putting little vinegar on the fish they
buy. keep it perfectly we'll. even in hot
weather, until the next day, and in
deed, the fish is improved in flavor by
this treatment. Fish which has been
kept ON ice during the night, and been
exposed on the shop board during the
day, being frequently watered to make
it look less, stale, undergoes changes
which destroy both flavor and nourish-
ment. -London Queen.
