A Valuable Food.

"Sealshipt" Oysters are particularly
rich in food values nutritious but
light and easily digested. One can
eat heartily of them withou discom-
fort. They can be prepared in scores
of different ways, all equally tempting.
They are acceptable as a single course
or as an entire meal. Eaten for lunch
dinner or supper. they are always APP
petiZing and delicious.
To appreciate the real flavor and
piquancy of the oyster it must be- fresh.
That is one reason for 'Sealshipt"
superiority. ''Sealshipt" Oysters must
be fresh because they are packed in
sealed, alright containers, with ice
around the containers. No water
touches the oysters. You get the nat
ural oyster, whole and perfect
We sell "Sealshpt" Oysters you
will find them displayed in Il white

THE MACKERL
SEASON BAD
East Coast Fishermen Close
Worst Season On
Record.

The Miami Metropolis says; The
mackerel fishing season of 1907 and
1908 has come to a close several
weeks earlier than ever before, all Of
the seine crews having either left the
channel and gone to other places Or
come to- port and began preparations
to go elsewhere.
Not only has the season closed ear
Her than ever before, but 1t will go
into history as the poorest in the his
tory Of the Industry in this port.
While exact figures are not obtafnable
the total catch of Spanish mack erel
made by all the crews and giIl-net
boats this season will not aggregate
over 100000 pounds. Fully 6o0,o09
pounds of maCkerel were taken ana
shipped last season, and even it was
considered very poor.
From this, with the catch of this
season being only about one-siXth OF
that of last season, the disaster that
has attended the industry can be ap-
preciated. All Of the dealers nave
operated at a very heavy loss. and
the chances are that some of them
viii not be in business next season.
Various reasons have been ASSIGNED
for the scarcity Of mackerel the past.
two or three seasons and disasters
or this season, the two most plausible
being that the trestIes of the railroad
in the keys break the fish up into
small schools and keep them ia deep
water, and that the almost general
use of gasoline engines for propeling
power in the boats frighten the Ash
away.
This opinion is very pronounced
with some of the older fishermen, and
thew contend that uha0 the EshoTJ,, or,
