At His Best During Months
Which Contain Letter r.
September to April.
UTILIZED IN VARIOUS WAYS
sheIlfish Are Not on Banned List and
Free Use Helps in Saving Meat
Different Ways in Which They
May Be Cooked.

The oyster, most popular of all she'll
fish, is again admitted to a place on
the menu. During the summer his
popularity Wanes, but with the coming
of the fall he is again held in high
esteem. According to popular belief,
the oyster is at his best during the
months which contain the letter ''R, !"
or from September through April.
Naturally a clean and wholesome
food, the state and federal govern
ments have made rigid restrictions in
connection with oyster farming to pre-
vent any accidental contamination. At
the present time the gathering of
oysters and their distribution are car
ried on under sanitary conditions.
Valuable as Food.
Though the oyster has a high con-
tent of water lin this resembling milk,
one of the most important of foods),
it is nevertheless valuable for the nu-
tritive material it supplies and is read
lily and we'll assimilated. 1t may be
utilized for food in many ways and has
a special value in that a moderate
quantity will impart a good oyster
flavor to considerable amount of 9th
er food material and so make very
palatable dish at moderate cost.
In the seacoast regions where they
grow, oysters are eaten in large guam
titles, and are much used in inland
towns, because, unlike most fish food,
they can be shipped alive. Even dis
- ~ 41o[ fc
reached with live oysters can still have
them, for they are canned and shipped
in large quantities.
Oysters can be placed on the list of
meat substitutes, as they supply the
same kind of food to the body. They
may be served in many ways, raw,
stewed broiled, baked, or fried. For
the present frying should be avoided,
as the food administration has adj
vised conservation of fats. But this
should not be a handicap, as there are
many attractive ways in which they
can be prepared.
Dreamed Oysters.

table luncheon or supper dish.

If 1t is desired to serve the dish on

adds to the attractiveness.

GERMAN KICKED OUT

A MONG other gratifying proofs that
= American citizens are awakening
to the grave menace of Germany's
propaganda, is the fact that all over the
land in colleges and public schools the
study of German has been dropped.
It is high time that this language was
put under the ban. For years through
its newspapers it has been made the
secret vehicle Of treason. poisoing the
youth of our land and undermining our
Republican institutions. Its modern
literature is rank mess Of infidelity
to God and man, and has done more to
shake the worlds belief in the Bible
and in the Christian religion than all
other causes combined.
The astounding fact has been dis
closed that in Nebraska, the state that
has presented US with that money
making humbug of pacificist, Bryan,
there were 1000 public schools in which
singing the Star Spangled Banner was
tabooed, and Die Wacht Am Rhein
substituted Indeed. unbelievable
though it may seem, an American child
was punished because she refused 10
speak German instead of English
We are glad to note that Delaware
has cut German out of its school courses
and that Delaware College has also de.
barred this Language from its curri-
culum. Leading linguists assert that
no great loss will follow. Like all the
rest of Germany's many impudent,
lying claims of superiority in all fields
of human thought and action, the pre-
tence that her language is the worlds
greatest repository of science and
learning, is also false.
Her Dragging lies are so amazing as
to excite only derision-'' all the illus
trious men who have lived in the
Christian Era were Germans in whole
or part; all the worlds great discov-
cries in Science and Medicine; all the
great inventions etc. etc., are the work
Of Germans"-these are samples of
the crazy German big-head.
The very reverse Of all that is nearer
the truth; outside of few discoveries
chiefly of a meteorological character.
nearly all the great improvements in
medicine and science, and practically
all the great inventions, are the work
Of other nations, chiefly England.
France, Italy. Holland and latterly
America in the inventive field.
The writer speaks German and is
versed in it's literature. He also thus
knows the French and Spanish lam
9uages, and in his judgment either of
those tongues would better serve for
all educational purposes, while for
practical business and commercial
utility, the Spanish language. spoken
by 81, 000, 900 Of people living near US
and with whom our future trade rela.
lions may be Of the highest importance,
has especial claims of superiority, and
could with the greatest profit supersede
German in our schools and colleges.
