WELL A BRoRC9 MtRRoP MAY BRING' l MAR�RIED YE./55 OF BAD LUCK ,BLIT 1r IT WOULD MeAN t1 LIFE -111' 1E 0a r-- > eta— New Editor of "Tines', Mr, Geoffrey Dawson has eucoeeded to the eddtors:h.ip of the famous Lon- don Times. During his career he was editor of the Johannesburg Star, secre- tary to Lord Milner in South Africa, secretary of the Rhodes' Triist, a'ivd formerly editor ce'the "Times" from 1912 to 1919,- 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.
