Why You Should Eat
Oysters

The oyster production Of the Uni
ted States is the greatest in the
world.
1t can be made much greater
because vast areas of unproductive
bottom can be made productive by
|oyster culture.
The purity of oysters placed on
the market is now more assured by
United States and State Inspection
and the cooperation of the large pro-
ducers.
Don't be afraid of Greene -Gilled
Oysters. The gray-green color,
which is Of vegetable origin and de-
rived from their food, forms a deep
fringe within the open edge of the
oyster. Such oysters are OFTEN
THE BEST and in France are priced
! above all others
THEREFORE EAT OYSTERS.
1t is DUTY to utilize this vast
food resource as far as possible and
save other foods of which there is a
dearth.
1t is also a PLEASURE to use the
oyster which in other countries than
ours is luxury rather than a COM
mon food.
1t is not one of the cheap foods
when measured by the cost of its
useful constituents, but it is valuable
as an APPETIZING OF THE DIET,
A reasonable variety of food is nec-
essary to the health of civilized
people.
The oyster is without waste, d.
gestible, wholesome, and delicious.
and it may be prepared in many
ways. If you wish to know how,

Paris, Nov. 49, Sunday was Al

was celebrated not by victorious
