Whale Meat for Food

Reversing the Biblical story about JONAH the
people of the Pacific slope are rapidly taking to
the swallowing of the whale. In other words, the
consumption of whale meat is growing constantly,
and the marketing of this of food supply is TAX
ing the attention of some of the prominent
Germs that coast.
This certainly new way OF combating the
ogre of the day. the high of living and the laur
els of victory may yet be placed upon the brows of
the men who have dared to promote such distinct
change in dietary.
1t was only in May that Seattle had it's first
company operating at Bay City, and within day
or two more than ton was sold in the various
kets and restaurants First, of course the meat
ordered as novelty and curiosity, and then, to the
surprise of the dealers, the demand suddenly
ceeded the supply.
In southern California the meat has been on the
market for several months, and it has established
definite place in the list of supplies for the table,
At La Jolla near San Diego. CAL, barbecue in
cident to friendship fiesta held in June to demon
strate the amicable relations existing between the
Southwest and the sister republic of Mexico, the
feature of the entire menu the roasting of whale
meat which was eaten with relish by the thousands
who participated.
Among the advantages which set forth by
the advocates of the of the it's low market
price of twelve and one-half pound; its high
percentage of digestibe matter, approximating SO
per cent; the fact that it contains per cent
protein than beef, and that it contains bones
fat, thus avoiding waste and shrinkage.
1t has been estimated that total of 10000
whales are killed each year in the various waters
about the globe. and that each whale furnish
much edible meat hundred beeves. 1t does not
take any great mathematical ability to figure out the
amount of good meat which has been going to waste
for generations.-W oman's World.
