PUBLIC BuNCOED AS
RESULT OF OYSTERS
DRINKING" HABIT
SOME DEALERS VIOLATE FOOD
AND DRUGS ACT BY CAUSING
OYSTERS TO DRINK" FRESH
WATER.
WATER.

Inspectors of the federal agricultur-
al department. in giving special at
tention to the heavy traffic in oysters
during the holiday season, have found
that it is the practice OF some dealers
in such way as to greatly increase
the size of the oyster. The oyster,
when brought in contact with fresh
water for several hours, viii drink
or absorb considerable quantity OF the
water and viii increase in size in
exact proportion to the amount of
water which he drinks" AS oysters
are usually sold by the pint or quart,
any increase in their size due to the
addition of water enables the dealer
to fill the pint or quart measure with
"a smaller number of oysters. In order
to increase the size. oysters must be
i soaked in fresh water or water that is
only slightly salty. They will not
! drink" enough of the salt water in
which they are grown to increase
materially in bulk; nor will .oysters
increase in bulk to any extent from
being washed in fresh water if they
are allowed to remain for only a few
minutes, necessary TO cleanse them.
If four quarts of oysters and one
quart of fresh water are placed in {
5-foot container and the mixture al
