Eat More Fish-Avery.
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-
shutting 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 21s 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 a demand
was created. These fish make nourish.
ing food and palatable when properly
prepared for the table"
This brought the commissioner to
the reason the demand is not as great
as conditions should warrant.
I'm the first place." he continued,
unlike the rose that would smell as
sweet with any other name, some fish
would taste better if served under
new names, as Uncle Sam demonstrate
ed by changing the name of the At
lantic dog fish to gray fish and by
so doing created a big market for it.
For example, carp and buffalo fish
that make up the bulk of fish exports
from Minnesota, are In little demand
in the state. This is because cooks

ly palatable dishes, as I have learned
by eating them. So housekeepers and
cooks must be educated both to realize
the economy and to cook the cheaper
kinds of fish,
