DOGFISH ARE GOOD TO EAT

Ocean Variety Pronounced by Fish Commission Experts to Be Nearly Equal of Salmon. Washington.—Dogfish are good to eat, just as good served as as they are labeled in cases as “ocean whitefish, sea bass’* or “Japanese halibut,” according to Dr. Irving Field of the United States fish commission. The pure food law frowns on dogfish being called by any other name, but the fish commission has been experimenting with the fish and has determined that its edibility- is excellent. Dr. Field urges, in view of present high food prices, that the public eat dogfish and not feel at all finical about the name. Dogfish is declared to be almost as good as salmon and practically indistinguishable from halibut. . „
