manganese are all to be found in
the flesh of the oyster; calcium,
PHOSPHORUS and iodine are also
present in appreciable quantities.
Oysters boast most Of the essential
vitamins, such as A, B, c, D and G.;
their protein has an especially high
nutritive value (very important in
any meat substitute), and glycogen,
which is similar to starch, Is found
in a readily digestible form in the
shellfish. So thank your stars you
can get oysters, for your health. en-
joyment and the good OF your
budget!
Other fish that are plentiful and
cheap this week include rockfish,
Boston and Spanish mackerel, and
several varieties of pan fish from
nearby fishing grounds.
Turkeys to Hold
Spotlight
A number of markets will be fea-
turing turkeys for the week end, and
whether you are getting the Labor
Day holiday or not you will find a
plump bird wise buy. Turkey goes
farther than any other type of poul-
try and is good all the way down the
line, to the last drop Of rich soup
wrung from its carcass. Some fry
ing chickens will be available, too, as
well as few stewing chickens and
some ducks. Poultry In general Is
higher in price than it has been. SO
it will pay you to watch for the bar
gains as advertised.
That Meat
Problem
With the announcement of the
impending rationing of "red" meats
such as beef, pork, veal, lamb, sau-
sage. etc., the housewife prepares
to encounter another headache OF
confusion. Let's hope this time the
powers that be will work out a fin
ished plan before putting an at
tempted control into operation, for it
is certainly difficult to cooperate
when one doesn't know how! We are
trying to find out more dope" for
you on the subject-that Is, some
thing definite as to the ways and
means to be adopted.
In the meantime, there is still
lamb-dont bleat like that-some
beef and veal, hams, luncheon meats
and all the important glandular
meats that are good for you. Bacon
has been hard to get lately. and
! dealers don't seem too optimistic
about change In the situation.
Fruits and Vegetables
Good and Plentiful
Although most prices continue
high, produce has improved in quail
ityz and quantity this week. Fresh
peas, string beans, beets, squash,
cauhhower and cabbage are all to bd
recommended. The first Brussels
sprouts have arrived, and good broc-
coli is also available. Large, tender
leeks, fresh okra, black-eyed peas
and excellent mushrooms give va
riety to the menu. Spinach is high,
but good, other green's only $3.50
Tomatoes are still a bargain and
have never been better.
Believe it or not, a banana boat
came in some days ago. and a few
punches of the now precious fruit
found its way into local markets. In
addition, there are Concord, Della
ware and Niagara grapes, as well as
the seedless ones, Persian and honey-
dew melons, seckel pears, enormous
blue plums, peaches (of course), ex-
cellent apples Of all kinds and a few
rather tired pineapples.
