Q.—Would you please be good enough to advise me whether sturgeon, the kind we buy in the delicatessen store, is kosher?—H. L.K.

Q.—Is there a strictly kosher gelatine available on the market? —Mary R. Cohen.
A.—There are at least two brands of kosher gelatine sold at retail. If you enclose a self-addressed envelope, the names will be mailed to you.
