How often we hear the remark, "Health is the first consideration F*' seem unanimously to agree that precept should guide us in all ordinary affairs of life. Yet in important particular - the selec- of our diet » do we consistently observe that rule? Take, for example, the matter of sea-foods. It has been proven conclusively that these foods, properly prepared, have unusual health-giving power, Palatable and easily digested, they help the human body to resist disease and they promote the growth of children. They possess a great deal more protein than either chicken or beef and provide the best balanced flesh foods available. As to cost —- they are relatively inexpensive, Nevertheless it is said that the av­ erage Canadian family is content with, perhaps one meal of fish a week. ’Our leading dietitians deplore this appar­ ent blindness to the intrinsic value of fish foods. For this reason we heartily welcome the present press campaign to encourage the consump­ tion of fish inaugurated by Hon. J. E. Michaud in his capacity as Min­ ister of Fisheries at Ottawa. Deep sea fishing is a hazardous calling. Our Canadian fishermen im­ peril their lives day after day in or­ der to make available a constant sup­ ply of wholesome and delicious sea. foods. These hardy and courageous men form a highly important element in our population. For their sake, for your own sake, for the sake of your family, patronize their products-. Serve more sea fish and remember that every day may be fish day. “There goes a fellow vyho seems to take the worst possible view of everything.” “Is he a pessimist, then?” “No, an amateur photographer.” “Good afternoon.
