The Goths looked on long hair as n

FISH AS FOOD.
The best Kinds TO Eat and the Way
20 Cook Them.


Fish constitutes one of the most val
liable articles OF diet for mankind, al
though the popular notion that it is
good brain food because of the phos-
phorus 1t contains Is incorrect. AS 4
matter OF fact fish meat in general con-
tains less phosphorus than most kinds
of flesh meat But 1t Is good for the
brain indirectly, for It is less stimulat-
ing than flesh meat, is usually digested
more easily and causes the production
In the system of fewer of the waste
products which, if not at once ellmi-
mated, act injuriously upon the deli
cate nervous system.
The last mentioned property Is one
which renders fish of especial value In
the diet of persons suffering from
Brlghts disease and other affections OF
the kidneys, from rheumatism, gout,
and all those diseases which many ply
siclans regard as the result of excessive
formation or retention OF uric acid. For
convalescents also II is most useful. as
II supplies a fair amount of nutritve
material in palatable form, with a min
imum of tax ON the digestive organs.
Among the most nourishlng and at
the same time dlgestible fish are blue
fish, shad. red snapper, fresh Goldfish.
whitefish, striped bass. halibut and
founders. And equally nutritious, al
though perhaps less digestble, are
brook trout, lake trout. salmon, mack
erel and cells. Roe is not particularly
nutritious. but 1t is agreeable to the
taste and fairly digestible.
The mode of preparation has much to
do with the digestibllity of fish, as II
has with that Of all other foods. Boil
ing and broling are better modes OF
cooking than frying.
The chief objection TO fish Is Its
proneness to decomposition, even when
kept on Ice 1t may be free from any
! taste or odOr, and yet II may have un-
dergone changes which make II poison

does not agree, causing digestive disor-
