REASONS FOR EATING FISH.

If you want to save some coin, Gut out eating tenderloin, Bacon, pork chops, veal, and lamb Chicken, porterhouse, and ham. Almost time that you got wise, Save your coin, economize! Let large and juicy fish Decorate the breakfast dish. Steaks and chops are awful dear, Poverty is drawing near. To the penthouse we shall go If we dine on cows, you know, Also pigs and little calves Let us not do things by halves. Ring in with the knowing bunch Eat some baked tilefsh for lunch. Heed the wise fishmonger's chatter, Put fish upon the platter. PorterhOuse cost "thirty-fve"- Cut it out! Gosh! Man alive! Buy some salmon, friend, at
 eight"
 Just the thing to fill the plate. Be little fortune winner, Eat a halibut for dinner. Turn your nose up at the COW, Ostracize her anyhow.
 Cut the lamb chop, pork, and veal Eat instead grayfsh, or eel, Black cod, founder, goosefsh, bass, Join the money-saving class. Eat the fish and welcome wealth Arm in arm with glowing health. This production, which appeared
