AN INVESTIGATION
 OF ALL OYSTER BEDS.
Government Proposes to Bar Those
 from Polluted Waters.

New York, May 21-Oyster beds from Cape Cod to Texas are about to be investigated by the department of agriculture. When polluted beds have been located, the department will bar their product from interstate com merce and, through publicity. aid state and municipal authorities in prevent ing local sales. This plan was an nounced here tonight by Dr. Carl L. AIsberg, chief of the bureau of chem istry, in an address before the an- nual convention of the Oyster Grow CTS and Dealers association of North America.
 An exaggerated fear of the oyster as a source of disease was declared by Dr, Alsberg to be a, factor adding to the pressure Of the high cost of living. He said the second step in the depart ments' activities would be to see that oysters from wholesome beds were handled in a sanitary manner. When the task has been accomplished, he added, the industry will flourish and do its share to keep down the cost of living

OWNED 75 PER CENT.
 OF ORE RESERVES HERE.
Charles ,M. Schwab Testifies Regarding
 U. s. Steel Holdings.

New York, May 21.-Because of the fact that the United States Steel cor poration owned some 75 per cent. of the ore reserves of the country, it would have been impossible in 1901 to have organized another corporation it's equal. so testified Charles M. Schwab. first president of the corporation, at today's hearing of the government suit to dissolve the corporation as an ille- gal combination: The testimony was adduced from the witness in cross examination by government counsel tn support of the charge that the steel corporation is a monopoly.
 MT, Schwab said, however, that ores could have been imported from foreign countries and a corporation as big aM the United States organized provided it's plant was located in the east. Hs conceded. on the other hand, that there were no other financial interests in the United States as strong as those which went into the corporation. namely, J. P. Morgan &S company the the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests, the Carnegie interests and the ''W. H. Moore group"

Consolation
By Walt Mason

The heat that makes us gasp and
shriveI, and hand out comments most
uncivn. keeps corn and beans alive;
around in sweat a fellow sloshes, for
getting that the Hubbard squashes need
heat to make them thrive. We all rear up
and rant together. and roast the blink
banked, ding-dOnged weather. and
storm around like ICONS: and yet this
heat. which seldom varies. is helpful to
the hUellleberries and also to the
prunes. In arctic realms sun rays don't
sizzle, so agriculture is a fizzle, there
IS no corn or wheat; the natives wish
the sun We're blazing. for they are tired
of always raising cheap polar bears and
Sleet. Then let US, while prCfUsely
sweating, be in no dangr of forgetting
what's needed by the peas. the egg
plant, with its hue of lumber, the onion
and the proud cucumber, and other
things like these. And when hot
weather malSs you suffer, don't be a
mcUrnful whining duffer-its foolish
ness to chafe; just face the issue
brayely. stoutly. and dance and sing.
and say devoutly, Thank God, the
nrune crops safe."

The Grape Fruit
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old SiVvash.O

m HE grape fruit is so called be-
cause it looks like large and mel
ancholy orange which is failing
in health.
The grape fruit is composed of two
gallons of juice concealed in a thick
yellow globe and strongly impregnated
with seeds. The grape fruit has more
seeds than anything else, except the fig.
When we have extracted all the seeds
from a grape fruit and have piled them
up, the pile is larger than the fruit it
self. This IS one of the miracles of ma
ture and should teach man to be humble
and scOrnful of his own powers.
The grape fruit is divided into water
tight compartments, like an ocean liner,
by thin pieces OF skin. The skin is very
tough and can be used for aerOplane
covering or bullet proof vests. To eat a
grape fruit the performer separates the
pulp from the skin, with q sharp knife
extracts the seeds, pours sugar into the
cavities and lets it stand all night. In
the morning he puts on a bathing suit
and scoops out the delicious interior. A
thirsty man can sometimes eat an en-
tire grape fruit if he is a good swimmer.
The grape fruit has existed for many

centuries, but like the tomato and the
oyster, it was not suspected as a food
at first. The wild grape fruit tastes
like quinine and when a few brave So
ciety leaders learned to eat it some years
ago they were regarded with awe For
some time the grape fruit was the real
test of gentility, and the diner who
could take his grape fruit without be-
traying the taste, proved himself to be
an old hand IN society.
This led to a great demand for grape
fruit and vast plantations were planted.
1t is now a common sight in Florida to
see the farmer digging the luscious vel
