ranean, and of late it has come into
consumption in the countries of North
ern Europe.
Grayfish is excellent eaten fresh,
and a market has been developed for
it in New York City, in connection
a preserved product that it has found
its largest use. 1t is canned in large
quantities and sailed and dried, like
cod. 1T is excelled by few, if any prod
ucts of a similar nature. DR.. Moore
called special attention to the grayfish
when smoked or kippered.
Among other food fish introductions
of the Bureau of Fisheries mentioned
by Deputy Commissioner Moore as
providing valuable additions to the
American table, and of which the Blu
reau is willing to send full informa-
| ton as to use and recipes, are the
eulachon, sablefsh. bowfn, burbot,
carp and whiting.
The Eulachon And SabIefish.
In his conversation, DR.. Moore at
tached much Importance to the use of
the eulachon as one of the most at
| tractive of the new salt water prod
ucts. He described it as a rich and
delicious little fish, and so much SUI.
perior to the smeIt that its common
designation Columbia River Smelt,'
in addition to being misnomer, is
almost a reflection on the food ouaI

lean icthyologists describes the euIa

world-tender, fragrant, digestible,' >

eaten it are equally Mandatory"

of the parts of a prehistoric denizen
of American fresh waters as well as
many physical characteristics of the
most modern member of the tribe,
and is regarded as sort of surviving
ancestor.
The bowfin is a lover of sluggish
waters and is found in abundance in
the Great Lakes region, in the Missis-
sippi Valley, from Minnesota to
Louisiana, and in the East from New
York to Florida. The chief use of
the bowfin as a food fish is as a
smoked or sailed product, it's soft flesh
proving somewhat Objectionable to
most palates. In smoked form, it has
a rich, clear flavor, and has been pro-
nounced equal or superior to any 9th
er smoked fish.
Another of the recent introductions
into the American dietary of another
excellent fish allowed to go to waste
in American waters is the burbot,
which DR.. Moore calls ga fresh-water
cousin to the cod" The habitat of
the burbot circles the earth, two al
most indistinguishable species being

larger streams of the northern parts
of the two hemispheres. The meat
of the burbot resembles, generally
that of the cod and haddock, and ii
may be cooked like those fishes.
Carp And Whiting.
The Bureau of Fisheries is of the
! opinion that the carp needs to gain
;,+
and it can be so prepared as to re.
move the muddy taste, which is the
l-chief objection to its use, and become
a palatable fish. As a matter of fact
the carp is frequently served for red
snapper in its fresh form, and, smoked
it is sometimes fraudulently sold tc
the public as the much dearer smoked
sturgeon
Another fish which the Bureau OF
Fisheries is advocating as al article
of IS the whiting, which is re-
| garde pa good fish not adequately
used. This fish, it declares, is held in
| high regard as a food fish in Britain
where, the year before the war disor

| lion pounds were landed in England
and Wales alone and brought price
per pound considerably higher thar

When the whiting is fresh it is 6

Bureau states that it should be used

A Neat Trick.
Mr.. Thompson was in Canada, when
the war broke out in 1914. Through
a permit from General Hughes he Sc
cured exclusive photos of the first
| Canadian contingent sailing overseas.
He soon got the opportunity to go
abroad. He sailed for France on a
freighter and during the voyage did
odd jobs for passage. 1t was when
the ship was close to the coast of
France that Mr.. Thompson had the
| opportunity to feel the first thrill of
adventure. A careless German mine
was floating in the water, and the
| tramp steamer missed it by a few
! feet.
"Close shave" said the photogra-
pher, as he hung over the rail peer
/ ing at the dark object bobbing up
and down among the waves.
When Thompson arrived in Belgium
| he found that the war photographer
road was not easy to travel. On one
occasion he was arrested by the Ger
mans who thought that because the
Kansan spoke English he was spy.
The young man was put in Jail and his
baggage was examined by German of
! ficers. Among other things they
found a copy of a paper, called the

pounds of fish, canned, sailed, and
latter to the fresh weight basis, the
total yield of the American fisheries
can be stated as reasonably close to
2,000,O00,000 pounds each year. The
total output of the hatcheries of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries in
eggs, fry and other small fish is about
four and a half billions annually.
Some of the fishes have been sought
too eagerly, and in consequence are
declining in numbers; others have
held their own; while in other cases
there are possibilities of an increased
production without impairing the fish
cry. The United States Bureau of
Fisheries states that the most promis-
ing outlook for an increase in the
food supply by the fisheries is in fishes
hitherto unused, and those that have
been recently brought to the public
attention.
Some of the new food fishes intro
duced into the society of the old and
respected fish families since the food
stringency began, include the tilefsh,
which has established for itself an
assured position and has taken its
place on the menu of the fish-using
households.
The Gray Fish.
Later introductions have included
the grayfsh, which has had to live
down the reputation of a, pirate with
bad name. that of "dogfsh." The
grayfish is a trim, clean, clipper-built
fish, found in the waters of both the
Atlantic and the Pacific. From time
immemorial this fish has been used
as food on the shores of the Mediter

shad, herrings, and cells, are especial
ly nutritious, affording a large guam
tity of fat for fuel as well as tissue
building proteins. 1t has also been
proven that fish meat is quite as easily
| digested as other forms of meat.
Low Consumption OF Fish Food.
DR.. H. F. Moore, Deputy Commits
sioner, Bureau of Fisheries, recently
made a statement to the effect that
Americans are VIGOROUSLY deficient as
| fish eaters, and they are particularly
neglectful of cured or preserved
! fishes except those obtainable in tin.
Less than pounds per capita is the
yearly consumption of salt and
smoked fish, and of this the greater
part is eaten by the foreign-born, :"
says DR.. Moore. This condition ex-
lists Notwithstanding that there are
large areas of the country in which
transportation difficulties make it
quite impossible to get fresh fish with
frequency at ALL" The normal con-
sumption in Great Britain is Sc
pounds per year.
The fisheries of the United States
produce annually about 1900, 900, 600
pounds of food fish. including shell
fish, in a fresh condition. Alaska has
a yearly output of about 25O.000.O0C

~ HE VALUE OF Fish as a Wnole-
some, palatable and nutritious
food has never been appreciated
~ in the United States. With meat
scarce and its use limited by the nee
essities of the fighting men, there is
no reason why the American house
keeper should not make a closer and
more intensive study of the capabili-
ties of fish in her bill of fare.
1t has been estimated that this
country's present consumption of meat
is about seventeen times as great as
the consumption of fish. 1t is also a
well-known fact that fish is a food
which makes brain, while it has been
proven by the Chinese and the people
of Northern Europe that it makes as
good muscle as meat.
Fish Good Substitute For Meat.
Fish is often looked upon as not
being meat. AS matter of fact there
is no characteristic difference be.
tween fish flesh and the flesh of any
other animal. The bulk of it is
