Housewives, they say, will find it profitable to, call for chilled whiting instead of asking for comparatively searce fish, or varieties net in season and high in price, which are neither better in flayor of food value. Care should Dbe taken to defrost chilled fish before subjecting it to heat; that is, the fish shouid be plated in a cold piace, just above freezing, or in cold water until the frost leaves the flesh. Otherwise it will lose considerable of its excellent fiavor. 2 Origin of Pstroleum a Mystery. Geologists disagree as to the origin of the so-called “minerai oll,” or pe- roleum.
