Tne Department of Commerce, 1*.
3.. Bureau of Fisheries, Washington,
D. C urges that we ta; more oys
*"rs in order to save other foods.
Concerning oyster l'ocii it gives a
fe* startling facts..
The oyster production ot' the l"u
te.' States is the greatest in tUe
wot Jd..
it can be mad*.' much greater be- I
cause last areas of unproductive bot
tom can be made productive by I
ojstcr culture..
The purity ot' oysters placed ou j
the ajarket is now more assured by
the United States aud state inspec
tion and the cooperation of large
producers.
•Don't be afraid of green gilled
ousters. The gray, green color,
which is o£ vegetable origiu "nd
derived from their food, forms a
•!eeo tringe within the opui edge !
of the oyster, iueh oysters are J
if tea the best and ia France are
prized above all others.
IHfcRfclFORt: EAT OYSTERS
it is a duty to utilize this vast
.toed resource as far as possible
and save other foods of which
there is a dearth..
it Is also a pleasure to use the
oyster w hich ia other countri s than
ours is a luxury rathtT than a com
uiju food.
lr is not one of the cheap foods
w'-ea measured by the cost of its
usefui constituents, but it is valu
able as aa appetizing varient of
'he diet. A reasonable variety of
food is necessary to the health of
» civilized people..
The oyster is without waste, di
xestaDle .wholesome, and delicious,
ani it may be prepared in many
ways.. If you wish to know how,

LIBERTY LOAN* BONDS NOT
A MKDI1M OF EXCHANGE
The Secretary of the Treasury,
Hon, William G. McAdco ,recently
authorized the following statement:
"It has been brought to my at
tention that numbers of merchants
taroughout the country are offering
to ta^c Liberty Loan Bonds of the
first and second issue at par, or
erea lu some cases at a premium,
'u exchange for merchandise. While
I have no doubt that these mer
chant* are actuated by patriotic mo
tives, I am sure that they have
jailed to consider the effect which
the acceptance of their offers would
have upon the situation. We are
making the strongest effort to have
these Government Bonds purchased
for permanent investment by the
people at large, to be paid for out
of tae past or future savings of
Uipse aJia bu£ thtm. Purchases
Acting upon the President's pro
clamation the Federal Food Adminis
trat'on has formulated the folliwlng
new rules which become effective
Immediately:
Two wheat less days each week,
Mcndfy and Wednesday.
One meatless day every week,
Tuesday.
One meatless m al daily.
Two porkless days every- week
Tuesday and Saturday.
To reduce consumption of wheat
flour consumers, with, each purchase
these substitutes separately In malt
ins: bread, cakes &nd pastriis or
will mix them with wheat..
Retailers may sell wheat flour
onlv with equal weight of other sub
stitutes..
Bakers under license regulations
are required to mix five per cent
otncr cereals with, wheat flour in
bread and rolls and gradually In
crease substitutes until by February
24th a minimum of twenty per cent
auch cereals will be used.. The Food
Administration urges the purchase
and the use of wheat substitutes in
i c" tnl* bread, called Victory Hread,
home baked bread..
Manufactures of macaroni, spa
ghetti. noodles, crackers, breakfast
foods, pie, and cake are not
permitted to purchase to exceed
seventy per cent of wheat flour used
I in corresponding mouths in 1917..
[ Wholesalers are required not to pur
chase from millers over seventy per-'
cent of wheat flour purchased during)
I corresponding mou'h in previous
year and their sales to retailers

SECRETARY LANE URGES
FOOD-SAVING DAYS IN
ALASKA RAILROAD CAMP
Secretary of the Interior Lane
has wiitten the following- letter to
v>"illiam C. Edes, chairman of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission:
"lu tLe interest of food conserva
tion, not only for ourselves but al
so for all the allied forces in this
world war, 1 wish that you would
tiuf into effect one meatless and
oao wheatless day each, week in all
of our construction, camp6 for the;
period of the war. Please also re
nues' all of our employes who are
not boarding at our various mess'
houses to assist in this nation-wide j
crusade of food conseravtion..
"It is not expected that you will
reduce the quality of meals served,
bu i'.y a wise substitution of other
foodstuffs we can each one of us
assist in a patriotic move which will J
help t"warU winning the war.
"I know from the many evidences
that i have already had of the pa
trioti.-m of our men in Alaska that
they will gladly and quickly res
pepcl to this opportunity to help."—
Official Buleltin.
VOIR CHANCE FOR A JOB
The Ordnance department of the
armi urgently needs several thous
and civilian workers, as specified
in t^c "Wanted" posters which Phil.
Atratams, secretary of the Skag
w-.r Commercial Club, personally
posted in conspicuous places about
the city yesterday.
Au inspection of the list of posi
tions will convince anyone as to the
importance to a nation at war that
it should have the workers now be
in? sought. As stated in the post
er "the actual fighting forces would
be powerless without an efficient
civilian army behind them."
The positions open include cleri
cal help and skilled mechanical
tradesmen, with entrance salaries
tl.at »re reasonably large. Any
one having a thorough knowledge of
thus made not only result in provid
ing funds for the uses of the Gov
ernmcD*, but they also effect a
conservation of labor and material.
WUec the Bouds are exchanged for
merchandise, it defeats the primary
object of their sale, it discourages
tnrif* and increases expenditures,
tnus depriving the Government of
labor and material needed for war
purposes. In addition to this, such
bonds when atken in exchange far
merchandise must in most cases be
immediately sold in the open, mar
ket. This naturally tends to de
press the market price of the Issue
and makes it less easy to sell future
issues at the same rates.
"I hop© that the merchants of
the country, upon a more careful
consideration of this subject, will
iiscou'inue their efforts to sell
merchandise and take Liberty Bonds
lu payment." . J _ '
