MRS. l. 4. 3.
We recall nothing about pot
sonous ciams. Perhaps you are
thinking Of some warning about
eating salt water nussels dur
ing summer months. The state
department Of public health has
tested mussels for toxicity each
year and has found that they
become dangerous for human
consumption each year during
warm weather, but only at that
time. There have been no out
breaks Of mussel poisoning in
Washington for a dozen years
but there have been some fur
Their south on the coast. Unless
CLANS happen 10 be In contami-
mated water. they shouldn't b
poisonous at any time.
Herring rakss are legal II used
in open districts. II you write
to the State Department Of Fish
cries. Smith Tower. Seattle, you
can learn which districts are
open and IN which raking 10
illegal.

tell M where ! can 20 to have
my husband stopped from charg-
ing beer and wine 1t the beer

MRS. &. d.
Your troubles might interest
the Washington Liquor Control
board inspectors. whose office
you will find at IT'S Court A, in
Tacoma. State law prohibits
giving of credit on wine and
beer. City police or the state
inspectors would be interested
In evidence Of any place giving
credit, and, of course. also inter-
ested IN bootleggers.
But In the interest of peace in
the family, 1t would b. best to
try 10 improve the husband.
