of meteoric iron has been found.
In explaining, DR.. Fisher writes:
1.-THE pieces were probably car
ried away by the peasants, or by
the earlier Vikings. Az is well
known, iron was priced by the vi
kings and the Danes, who were the
founders of this Baltic province. In
support of this theory, it is also
known that the Eskimos pounded
off with tough rocks fragments of
the Cape York meteorites fo4 the

This. the bulletin said, is especially true in the sum- mer months. since fish contains much less fat than meat and therc- fore becomes valuable substitute for meat when lighter foodE are most suitable.
 Explaining the food value of fish, the bulletin said that 1t has good quality protein, Of cheap source for those who can indulge in the sport of fishing and even for thoge who must purchase their fish. In many homes, 1t is being used as the prevailing summer protein food.
 Fish contains e variety of mineral clements in cluding calcium. phos- phorus, copper, iron, iodine, and many others. Salt water fish is significant for It's content of iodine which Is needed for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. This is shown by the fact that goiter is practically unknown in coastal sections, Not only is more fish con- Sumed along the coast, but the io- dine-carring salt spray from the ocean extends far Inland, and % food grown in the region have higher iodine content and protect against goitrous conditions. Fish oils, headed by the universally used cod liver oil, are valuable health aids. Cod liver oil with it's large amount of vitamin D. protects against rickets, and the oils of other fish livers, including those of hali- but, salmon, tuna and herring arc known to be rich source of this vitamin.
 Even people who live inland should no lonRer he concerned over the danger of spuilago of fish before reaching them, for modern trans pnrlation facilities make possible adeauate refrigeration of Ill such feOds ca route. and the time be- twaen the @cntch" and the pan is tish ia not always at hand, a great variety of canned fish can be ob- tained, which lend themselves quickly to salads or other light luncheon dishes
