Carlos Avery. state game and fish
commissioner, says that Minnesota
housekeepers can materially reduce
the much-talked-of high cost of living
by serving fish more frequently-sub-
stituting fish for more costly foods.
More than 200 car loads or nearly
100000 pounds OF fish were shipped
from Minnesota last year principally
to New York City" he said. They
sold for ~ to cents a pound In cars
on the tracks In towns near the lakes,
which proves there is ample supply
that might be retailed in Minnesota
cities at very low prices If demand
was created. These fish make nourish-

prepared for the table"

cooks must be educated both to realize
the economy and to cook the cheaper
kinds of fish"
