PROTECTING OYSTER USERS.

Washington, Sept 27.-With the
opening of the oyster season the FOOD
and drug officials of the United States
department Of agriculture have given
notice to those WIG ship oysters in in
tOrstate commerce that they Will con-
tinue their active inspection to pre-
vent shipment of polluted oysters Or
shipment Of shocked oysters that have
been soaked to increase their bulk.
This notice applies also to dealers OF
oysters in the District Of Columbia ana
the territories, which are directly un-
der federal supervision.
Those in charge Of this work report
that the. oyster trade in general have
expressed desire to cooperate with
the department in securing a grade of
oysters which are free from adultera-
ton of any kind. Many have asked
the department to suggest a method OF
washing oysters without swelling them
to an extent that constitutes adultera-
ion under the regulations. The depart
ment believes moderate washing is
probably necessary and desirable but
objects to any method Of excessive
washing which increases the volume OF
the oysters to an appreciable extent.

is that oyster dealers are entirely able

or not any particular method Of wash
Ing results in an appreciate increase
in the volume Of the oysters or in the
amount of Juice that normally should
be present. Any method which pro-
duces appreciate increases should be

that calls for soaking or washing for
an excessive period, excessive agita-
