The Food Value of Fish.
There are two popular but erroneous
notions regarding the use of fish in the
diet. The first a, that when for any
reason the physician has forbidden the
patient to eat -meat he can stilleat
fish web impunity. Sometimes, if he
is suffering with one or more of ,cer-
tain diseases, especially diseases of
the kidneys, and must tlxeref'ore avoid
•extractives—substances that give the
flavor of meats, but that,''talcen, in un-
due amount, may poison the syeteni—
he may eat fish; for fish' is poor in ex'
traotives, But when the physician's
object is" to. restrict as far as possible
the intake of rattans the object is de-
feated by substituting fish, for some
varieties of fish contain almost as
much protein es ohdceen or lamb con-
tains, Tho second erroneous belief is
that because fish is rich in phosphorus
it is a "brain food;' It is true that the
brain, like wld nervous substance, con-
tains phosphorus, but it does not fol-
low that eating an excess of phosphor.
us -containing foods will improve the
thought processes; furthermore, the
statement that fish is especially rich
In phosphorus is not supported by fact.
Fish is nevertheless very . valuable
both as a source -of energy and as a
nutritive substance. The energy that
comes from eating fish is owing large-
ly to the amount of fat thet it con-
tains. But the different varieties of
fish vary greatly in that -respect; sal-
mon and eels ere ammng the fattest of
fish, whereas cod contains less fat than
lean beef does. The nutritive, tissue -
building property of OSlr is inferior to
tivat.,of meat, since in general the pro-
tein content is, less, but the difference
is so slight that we nuny ignore it.
The best way to cook ash is to broil
or to roast it; boiling dissolves oat
ninth of the nutritive material. Among
the most nutritive fishes are herring,
salmon, cod, halibut, Bele, mackerel
and trout. The fatter fishes are eels,
halibut, Earring, maakerel•and salmon.
Oysters and clams contain compare
tivelylitde nourishment and little fat,
but are very digestible, especially
when eaten raw. Tho lean varietles
of fresh and smoked fish are in general
mare digestible time inset, but rod and
other fish digest slowly.
New Motor Highway in
Jasper Dark.
A survey for a poselble loeatian for
a forty-five zmile stretch of motor road
in Jasper National Park from the town
of Jasper to the eastern park boundary
is being greeted out by two location sur-.
vey parties' under the supervision of
•the Engineering service of the Cana -
elan National Parke Branch, Depart•
meet of the Interior. Two line,.. are
being run, one following for a distance
of approximately twenty-five miles the
abandoned Grand Trumic Pacele and
Canadian Northern, •railway bade and
the other running wholly independent'
of the old road beds, Pa tars means
it will be possible to select the most
eeonomioal route and at the same •time
determine what portions of the aban-
doned grade may be utilized.
When completed this road will fares
an important link in the proposed Edi

Radio Ends Isolation of
Pitcairn Isle.
Wireless hes come to the rescue of
lonely Pitcairn. Island, which' loomed
large in fiction. and history as the re-
fuge of the mutineers of the British
sloop Bounty, years ago.
Until now the islanders have been
compelled to depend, for their news of
the outside world upon the occasional
visits of ships, A wireless plant has
just beep landed, and will domuch;to

here. Some of the young inert of the
island have been learning the Morse

The 'men who boarded the ship which
