"gree‘niglll” oysters. it is we'll worth

thing is“ possible, the question of the
discolored oyster.
No one knows but that this ques-
tion may “live in the future and there-
fore as much light should be thrown
upon it ’fll possible. There is no
question in our mind, but that the
oysters examined by Dr. Bethe were
the ordinary “green gill" oysters with
which the'wrlter is very familiar. We
will (replace that the first time we
saw them we were disposed to lack
upon them a little suspiciously. By

to the sonnet lhself.
‘To'aum‘uprlt‘may be said that the
doctrine that the green color of oys-
ters is due to copper is utterly fallac-
lOus. and without a shadow of founda.
tion, in fact.
Dr. Moore in the United States
Fish Commission Report of 1897, Page
#37, says that notwithstanding that
almost every recent writer upon the
subject his insisted upon the harm-
iessnass of the green coloration which
is frequently observed in certain por-
tions of the oyster. there is still coto
siderable misapprehension of the sub-
ject by , consumers and oysters
alike. The prejudice is confined to
America. in Europe such oysters being
regarded as Superior.
When oysters h‘ccomc so colored
the oystermen had great difficulty in
disposing of them, owing to the popu-
lar belief that they are unlit for food.
or even poisouotts. ’f’hey Often have
what is described as a coppery taste.
and uninformed persons usually as-
sume that the green color is due to
the presence of copper. The green
color is derived from a harmless green
suhhiance. phycocysuin, which is
found in certain oilhe lower plants.
Under proper conditibns these uni-
cellular vegctablemrganlums multiply
in br Men or saline water with great
rapidl y and provide an important item
of food to the oyster. The green mat-
ter is soluble in the fulccs of the
oyster and passes into the tissue iti-
i‘ecilng principally the blood corpus-
clots.
An oyster shows the first indica~
tlon of greening in the gills and pains.
and trenucntly this is the only portion
of the animal which is colored. a fact
which ls‘ explained when we remem-
ber that this is the most highly vas~
cular portion. When the supply of
greening food is abundant and long
continued, the mantle. the liver and
eventually the entire organism. with
the exception of the muscle. acquire
a green hue. Such oysters are usual-
ly, but not always, for and well full.
the result of the abundant supply of
nutritious food. slid such condition
could hardly obtain wore the dye a
copper product. such as has been pop
ulnrly supposed.
“The color may be rcmovcd from
the oysters by transferring them for
a short time to waters in which the
green food is deficient. a fact which
may be available in preparing for mar-
ket oysters which popular prejudice
refuses to use in the green state.
In conclusion, it may be again in
slated that the greening is not a dis-
ease nor a parasite. nor a poisonous
material in any scnse.
Willard states in the Journal of the
American Chemical Society, 1908, page
lilbil: "investigations have shown that
copper in minute quantities is pro-
bably a normal constituent of all oys-
tors."
The Sealsblpl Oyster System whose
oysters were also charged with bolus
"dociored" have issued the following
statement of the case to their repre-
sentatives in lhl' wool and especially
on the Pacific slopes:
You may have noticed recently press
staieinonts cinsnating from A. (3.
Baths, the city chemist of San Fran-
clsco. 'l‘huse stnlcmunls have becu
more or less widely circulated. and in
ihcm it is declared that all eastern
oysters sold in San Francisco to por-
tion of which arc Senishlpt ()yslersi
are adulteratcd or preserved by treat-
menl wllb sulphate of copper.
We do not doubt but that somc ol
the oysters sold on the Pacific Coast.
whotbcr from the East or esewhcrc.
have at titties a greenish tinge. not
nearly so much. however. as this chom-
lst himself when hc comes to discuss
the subject. As every one knows who
has the first rudiments of knowledge
regarding oysters. they do have at cer-
tain times and in certain localities. a
touch of green color. sometimes just a
tinge and sometimes entirely moo
throughout. This is true of practically
all oysters the World over. As will be
explained later. an eminent authority.
this green color is simply caused by
harmless vegetable matter upon which
she oyster feeds and does not elect
the quality or purity of the oyster in
the, slightest. in foot. to give a homely
example that every one can under
stand. lt-is very similar to the green
color of lettuce which is caused by a
harmless green substance known as
chlorophyll.

all acquainted with oysbsrs or shellfish

Will Overcome all Distress From a
Bad Cold or the Grippe in
Jon a Few Heurs
The most severe cold will be broken.
and all gripue misery ended after talc
ing a dose or Papa's Cold Compound
every No hours until three consecu-
tive doses are taken.
You will distinctly fact all the dis“
ngi'oeuble symptoms leaving after the
very first dose. '
The most miserable neuralgia pains.
headache, dullness. bond and nose
stuffed up. feverlsbuuss. sneezing.
running of the nose, sore throat, muc~
ous catarrhul discharges. soreness.
stiffness. rheumatism pains and other
distress vanishes.
l’apc's Cold Compound is the result
of three yeni-s' research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars. and
contains no quinine, which we have
conclusively demonstrated is not ef~
fectivc in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed. with the knowledge that
there isno other medicine. made any-
whcre“elso in the world. which will
(cure your cold or end llrippc misery
as promptly and without any other as-
slsiance or bad after-effects as a 25-
cent package of l’npe'e Cold Com-
pound, which any drugglst in the
world can supply.
sea water in which they are grown on
their native beds.
Fifth. from these deductions of the
city chemist, we might surmise that
the natural trend of thought on the
part of the dear public would he that
the planters and shippers of eastern
system on this coast are criminals of
the first water. the stock being dell-
catcly referred to as "lumps of pol-
son." "A few of them are liable to
cause illness to systems no matter
h0w strong oue‘s constitution may be."
"More people are poisoned by eastern
oysters sold in local markets than any
other food stuffs that can be bought."
utc.. etc.
Naturally. it. becomes a matter of
great wonder how it happens that the
government. authorities connected with
the Pure Food Department in Wash-
ington and elsewhere. the many Pure
Food Departments of the various
states and also the ofllciuis of foreign
countries such as England. France.
Germany. etc. have not long ago clun-
ped those criminal eastern shippers
luio lhc ncurcst penitentiary. instead.
for all tin-tic runny years they havu
bccu pcrmlilod to ship the sums oyw
tors by lhc millions of gallons and hub»
drcds of thousands of barrels to prur-
tlcaliy every cyaicr outing locality on
the globe. Although it is quite evl.
dent from the deductions of this brilv
liani and conservative f‘lll‘mlll that
the dcclmailon of men. women and
children cnusodi thereby. is far greater
than the ravages of all the wars of
the last hundred years.
it would look very much as though
there must be some motive back of
these utterances other than the protec-
tion of the health of the people of San
Francisco and vicinity.
We have our own reprcscnlnllvce on
inc ground in San Francisco, have em.
ployed attorneys and expect to follow
up this matter with a view of securing

and for all our agcnln that may have

The main lobster breeding area
along the Atlantic coast extends from
Nova Bootln southward to Connecticut.
The lobster, taken alive and shipped
in his native crust. is in great demand
not only along the coast. but in those
interior regions or the'couutry where
see feeds are held in higher esteeem
because they are more didlcult of ac
tuinmeat. in the coastal waters where
the lobster aces-es to multiply. the
crab takes up the hunt for outstance
and m’alntslns it with a contempt for
racial suicide theories that puts the
lobster to the blush.
There me be those it ) New England
way Who w ll contend t at the lobster
and the crab are hot to be'menttoiied
in the same breath. There are ‘others
competent from experience to pass up
on the comparative merits of the two
crustaceans who contend that the crab
is much the more dainty and delight-
