PREPARING FOR
OYSTER SEASON
Packers Say They Want to
Aid Pure Food De-
partment.
SOME SHIPPERS UNFAIR
Much Care Required to Get
the Delicate Product on
Market.
SOME SHIPPERS UNFA

With the approach of the oyster
season and the preparation of the deal
ers in Missouri to handle the oysters
the office of the State Food Commits
sioner, DR.. W. p. Cutler, is also max
ing preparations to watch the oyster
product that is shipped into Missouri
and see that Missourians get only the
best. DIR. Cutler today received a let
ter from a large oyster packing firm
in Baltimore giving information on the
methods used in packing and shipping
the oysters. The letter shows the
tendency OF the packers to handling
their food as required by the law.
The packers declare they want to
cooperate with the food department
of the state in getting fair treatment
for the consumers of the oysters. They
tell of the methods used by unscrupu-
lous packers who seek to disregard
the food laws and who pack oysters
in way to make them unfit for use.
In the last bulletin of the Food and
Drug department is an extensive arti-
Gle dealing with the oyster industry
and with the proper caring of oysters.
Some of the information regarding oys-
tiers follows:
Under chemical analysis, the oyster
is composed mostly of water (H2O).
Inside its shell it lies enveloped in a
watery fluid which contains gelatin
and some of the salts of sea water.
IF you place it in fresh water it
will. in some mysterious way. mix this
with its normal fluid environment and
absorb some of it. with the effect of
making it less salty and of increasing
its bulk. If sufficient time be now
given this oyster will not, to ordinary
appearance. be more 'watery' than be-
fore. On the contrary. it will appear
to be fatter. it will not shrink so much
in cooking as before and viii bear
transportation with even less shrink
age.
If you shuck this oyster and lay it
dry on a plate it will rapidly eXude
gelatinous fluid in the effort to en-
case itself with fluid, and it is reason
able to infer that it will live much
longer and retain more of its nourshing
food properties when encased in a
fresh-water environment than when
packed dry in dry refrigerator car
rier. The fact is. the dry refrigerator
system, while so well adapted to other
products, is not so suitable for the
shucked oyster as the simple. old-fash-
toned, inexpensive method of wet re-
frigeration- There is nothing so agree

The Oyster At Its Best.
There is no doubt that an oyster
fresh from its native bed and freshly
opened in the shell is the oyster at its
every fish that comes from the sea.
1t is decidedly at its best when cooked
at once upon coming ont of the water.
The orange is best when fresh plucked
from the tree, and so of many of our
food products. But the millions of
consumers who do not live alongside
the waters whence come the fish and
the oyster, who never get anywhere
near the orange groves and the $40 a
day hotels that are fastened upon them
are obliged to enjoy their fruit, their
fish and their oysters after the delicate
bloom has vanished. But, after all,
what is it but the bloom of the epicure,
never known or thought of by more
than one in 10000 Of the mighty army
of consumers. So far as the oyster
| is concerned, it may be said that it is
and can be placed before the great
body OF our people in a clean, whole
some, enjoyable condition at very
reasonable cost. But only very small
proportion of the multitude of con-
sumers can afford to pay the great
cost OF transportation of the shells,
and so the memorable laws of trade
have developed means of laying the
product before the consumer in sweet
and wholesome condition minus the
shells. This is the shucked oyster.
Insists on Immersing Itself.
''As | have said before, ii you take
an oyster from its saltwater home
open it and lay it, free from its liq-
uor, on a plate, it will at once COM
mence to eXude its watery liquor by
some sort of an asthmatic process
from every pore of gelatin. mineral
salts and water and is a part of the
oyster that contributes largely to its
value and enjoyahility as food But
it is extremely prone to decomposition
except when in fresh water. If, in
stead of placing this oyster on a dry
plate, you put it in fresh water, in
stead of casting out its valuable juices,
it will retain them and by reversed
process, absorbs some of the fresh wa
ter. If, now. you will see to it that
the receptacle and the water are clean
and keep the water cool by icing, the
oysters will remain in a sweet and
wholesome condition for at least 10
days. 1t will contain more of It's ma
tive juices and is nothing like as prone
to decomposition as an oyster in the
Shell or an oyster packed dry in an
alright vessel which has incased it
:. self in liquor eSuded from its body. 1t
is true. that upon being placed in
fresh water, it sometimes absorbs as
much as 10 per cent of its volume of
this water. But this certainly does
it no injury as a food product, except
to take away from it the epicure's
bloom-the SAVIOR Of its ocean sale.
Test of Bad Oysters.
The oyster being almost entirely
composed of water, its density is but
little more than that OF water. The
decomposition that, sooner or later.
overtakes all fish, flesh. fowl and game
products and terminates their useful
ness as food is attended with an evo-
luton of gas. A very small quantity
of this gas is sufficient to overcome
the difference of density between an
