NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1917. [ LAW VIOLATION . ihippers of Sea Food Not to Use ) Fresh Water ‘Washington, D. C. Oct 19.—With the opening of the scallop season, shippers of the sea food are being ,warned by officials in charge of the Food and Drugs Act that it is un- Jawful to ship in interstate commerce Scallops which have been soaked in fresh water, whether the soaking Is & doliberate attempt to increase the Vvolume and weight of the mollusks or Whether it is only incidental to washing operations. Even leaving the ‘Scallops in fresh water for a few minutes as when they are shucked jinto a pail of water will almost in- ¢ evitably result in a change in condi- tlan which the food officials will hold Constitutes adulteration. ' The swelling of scallops during ‘washing can be prevented easily, the officials point out, by using for this purpose, clean, natural sea water of & brine made by dissolving 2 to 2 1-2 , Pounds of common salt in ten gallons Lof fresh water. Since washing |is | éssential, shuckers and shippers are _sdvised by the officials enforcing !the Food and Drugs Act to use only i sea water known to be perfectly ! clean or the artificial brine. Those | Handling scallops are warned also to drain the mollusks carefully and com- pletely after they are washed. The presence of a material amount of free liquid 18 regarded by the officials as i constituting adulteration. | - Boaking scallops has been a wide- i spread practice in the past. Since the | officials enforcing the Food and Drugs ! Act have taken up the matter, how- jever, warnings have been spread ! throughout the trade, and during the Ipast two seasons numerous consign- ments of soaked scallops have been . |analyzed, seized, and destroyed. Prose- icutions have been made In several oases and flnes imposed; and other .cases doubtless will come to trial @oon. It is believed that these seizures and prosecutions, together with the warnings now being issued, -will re- ult in materially improved condi- itions during the coming season. ' The officials in charge of enforce- ;ment of the Food and Drugs Act do _iriot confine their activities to the is- \suance of warnings and the making of seisures. Fleld inspectors advise ,and instruct shippers of scallops how ‘to conduct their operations so as ta comply with the law. America is on trial before the world.

Migratory Bird to Be Hunted at Stated Intervals Washington, D. €. Oct. 19.—The United States Department of Agricul- ture announces the promulgation of amendments of the migratory bird | regulations, to be effective on and af- | ter October 15 1917. One of the changes permits migra- tory game b to be hunted from half an hour before sunrise to sunset during the open season, subject, how- ever, to the provisions of State laws Testricting shooting during that time. Other changes in the open seasons are as foilows: In the States now having an open season from September 7 to December 20—Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Da- kota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyom- ing, Colorado, and Idaho—the open season is changed to September 16 to December 31, both days inclusive. All of these States, with the exception of South Dakota and Wisconsin, recently amended their laws by opening the season on September 16 or later and | closing it on December 31 or earlier. In South Dakota .and Wisconsin the season closes on December 20 in ac- cordance with the laws of those States. The open season in eastern Oregon and Washington and in Nevada and Pennsylvania is also September 16 to December 31.

There is only one way to oure catarrhal deainess, and that is by & constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless tho inflammation can be reduced ard this tube restored to its normal condition, hearin will be destroyed forever. Many cases deafness are cauged by catarrh, which is an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur- faces.
