Oyster eaters, beware! According to an ex-
haustive investigation made at the instance OF
the German Government by Professor Anton
Segafritz. of Gorlitz. those addicted to the In
ordinate of the succulent bivalve are sub
ject to violent fits of insanity. This scientific
expert declares that many cases of suicide can
be traced to the habit of eating oysters. He
holds oysters responsible for violent fits of tenn
per and habitual bad language in those to whom
they form a staple food, and cites the current
dictun as to the uses of a fish diet which be-
came a reiterated vexaton to its reputed author
during his lifetime. The professor, in his
report submitted to the German National Bu-
reau of Public Economics. writes in part as fol-
lows:
Louis Agassiz an American of German de-
scent first promulgated the fact that fish diet
contributed more phosphorus to the system
than any other, and hence was to be recon-
mended to brain workers, who consume their
phosphorus more rapidly than any other
classes. A larger proportion OF phosphorus Is
eliminated by the system from oysters thah
from any other inhabitants of the sea- But
have discovered that indulgence in oysters is Oy
no means safe. Their least injurious erect is on
brain workers who, by reason of their greater
combustion of PHOSPHORUS, seem capable or as
si1nilatng many oysters without evil conse-
quences.
But in the case of all those who do more
bodily than mental abor, and IN proportioh DIS
their physical exceeds the mental exercise
have observed a distinct and positive tendency
in the OYSTER when eaten, to produce emotional
insanity. or at least, a transitory unheralded
species Of frenzy.
while investigating the cultivation OF the
ovster and its effects in the physical and mental
system in all parts of the world, it was among
the fishermen of Ostend that 1 first suspected
peculiar action of the cerebellum might be IN
duced by the Incorporate use of this article OF

a 100000 prize, offered for the best
Siderable alrshlp.

Some inquiry has revealed the fact
that IN many Instances these changes
OF church relationships have been due 70
a sense OF lack Of impressiyeness in
the services OF churches which have no
liturgy. The objection is made that
the service as a whole Is so severely
simple and often so ill-arranged, that
no depth Of impression Is made, either
upon mind or heart The attendants
on the services, Il Is said. 90 away

that what are called Services for d.

who have not felt that this was a
sufficient reason for abandoning their
Baptist principles win recognize that
there Is some truth u these criticisms.
There is, however, no necessity for bare
and trivial services in nOnliturgical
churches. With care and attention
these services may be made a. deeply
impressive as the most elaborate litur-
gy, as well as far more effective on
the spiritual life.

Is Christianity in fact an ideal?
When Ezekiel faced Israel, his commits
sion read Thou shalt say unto them,
thus saith the Lord God, and that too,
whether they will hear or whether
they Will forbear." Clearly he had a
message OF authority and not an Ideal

Throughout the Old Testament. God is
presented as Person, clothed with
sovereign power and authority, giving
commands and requiring obedience. No
where In Scripture Is there a supremacy

before man with an option to choose

likeness but the command Is, This iH

North CAR0LIN5 AT THE

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition to
be held at St. Louis in 1908 promises to
be the greatest exposition ever held in
the world.
The Legislature of North Carolina,
confronted with a deficit was not free
to make an appropriation as large as 1t
desired. In response to the resolutions
of various Chambers of Commerce and the
urgent requests of progressive citizens,
bill was passed yesterday morning ap-
propriating $4,000 to be used, together
with $4,000 to be donated by public
spirited citizens, to make an exhibit of
important North Carolina industries at
the st. Louis Exposition. 1t is believed
that there is State pride enough among
the leaders in the Industrial life Of the
State to guarantee a crcdllable exhibit
along those lines in which North Caro-
lima eXcels or has no superior This is
an age of specialtics. 1t will be better
for North Carolina to exhibit a few of
its leaders than to undertake an elabo-
rate and general exhibit.
