 Although strong efforts have been made to induce all the large oyster growing firms of this section to enter the new oyster combination which Is being formed, it is understood that two of the largest firms in this city have not yet joined the new company.

The returns thus far show that about twenty oys- ter growers in Rhode Island Connecti- cut, New Jersey and New York, some of them owners of large properties, have given three months option for the sale of their plants. They are to receive 50 per cent. cash of the appraised value of their plants and 50 per cent. each in pre- ferred common stock. The company in- tends to go into all branches of the oys- ter business.

POOL ROOM RAID AT MEADOWS
 END
Law and Order League Detectives Vis-
 ited the Grove Hotel Yesterday

Law and Order League Detectives Vis- ited the Grove Hotel Yesterday Law and order league detectives yes- terday afternoon made pool room raid
 at Meadows End at the Grove house, conducted by Samuel Merritt Soon after the raid in Bridgeport some time ago, the law and order officers became suspicious of the hotel at Meadows s End and were led to believe that pool room was started there The place had been under surveillance of the de- tectives for some time The detectives say that the pool selling was until very recently conducted in the hotel but the managers had evidently seen the detectives on their visits and a short time ago the business was moved to a horse shed near the hotel. There a room was fitted up and it is alleged that the pool selling has been going on in the shed lately.
 Secretary Thrasher has of late receiv- ed numerous complaints concerning the place from residents of Milford, but he had waited for the Milford authorities to act, until the complaints urged him to take some action. Yesterday a com plaint signed by two citizens of Milford was presented to Judge Studley of the court of common pleas and he issued search warrants.
 About the middle of the afternoon De- tective McClair with four assistants drove to the Grove house. They were evidently seen coming. Just before they arrived at the hotel they saw about twenty-five men run out from the shed and scatter in all directions. When the detectives entered the place they found that the telegraph instru- ment by which they think the re- ports of the races were received, had been destroyed. They secured several pieces of the instrument, and these will be used in evidence against the place. Other evidence of pool selling was secured, and three nickel in the slot machines were confiscated.
 Secretary Thrasher of the Law and Order league had expected to secure warrants from a Milford grand jury man for the arrest of men found at the hotel but he was unable to see the yesterday and consequently no arrests were made. They will prob- 1 ably follow later.

She went to Alaska an in valid, and had been in poor health four or five years before going. It seems that her sickness was caused and kept up by the use of coffee. When she finally discovered the real cause, she abandoned coffee, and finding Postum Cereal Coffee in the stores, took up its use.
 She says: "I commenced using it once day for two months, then twice a day. I only weighed so pounds when l started, and could hardly get up and down the stairway. After leaving off coffee and beginning the use of Postum l took up the work for eight men. improved steadily, and in December last weighed PA pounds, which is more than I have weighed for twenty years.
