HELD has gone TO ST Louis to begin
preparations for its arrangement. Dur
ing the Fair she win be I'm charge of
the model household nursery, whose
conception is also Cue % her. These
1.-TWO exhibits win be the only ones that
will deal with ch.la lifA in the holae
'relations, for while a playground is far
|more likely to be d neighborhOoi rather
than a family appurtenance. tine nature
of Mrs. Hirshheld's model ground is
such as to make it of private instead
of an institutional nature. 1t is the in
|tention of Mrs. Hirshfeld and the Ex-
position authorities to MAKE his ex-
,hibit wholly practical.

4 ihibition, as we'll as at the day nursery

Why SO nany Prepara-

II IS one Of the recognized require
ments in the patent medicine field.
that "a preparation TO be put on the
market, must have the power to give
an Immediate efect7-that is TO say.
that It must apparently give immedi-
ate relief. II is also well known in
the patent medicine field that this
Immediate" effect is obtained only
by the use Of poisonous drugs and al
eohoi and that is why these poisons
and weakening stimulants, dangerous
to life and health, are so recxlessly
used IN such preparations The fact
that they have only a temporary ef-
feet. leaving the patient weaker than
before. explains why so many patent
medicines are short-lived. OF the
hundreds put on the market every
year. it is almost impossible to name
single permanently successful one
our object in calling your attention
to this is to emphasize the fact that
for so years Father Johns Medicine
has been recommended by Lowell

was prescribed for the late Rev. Fa-
ther John O'Brien. BY whom II was
recommended and from whom It de-
rived its name)-that more Lowell

The Proper Skirt

The straight fun skirt finished with
eep Paquin tucks at the bottom is
onsidered one of the best Of the sea-
on's models for woollens and the
eavier silks and satins.
The skirt. whatever its model, save in
he case of the trotting costume and
be formal evening frock must be
bund; that is. it must be on the floor
Ivo or three inches at front and sides
nd slightly more at the back. but
lugt have no train. This applies even
+ the handsomest Of carriage and af-
Irnoon frocl1s. and even dinner and
vening gowns in many cases follow
be rule, although in such costumes
e train is correct.
The proper effect is obtained by
landing the wearer upon q book or
/ ock three inches thick during the
'zirt fitting and make the skirt touch
le floor evenly at front and sides.

Timely Recipes

The oyster season is from September
to May. AS the spawning season be-
gins I'm May and lasts several months,
the oyster is unfit for food. oysters
are easily digested, rendering them Of
value to an invalid. They fatten by
absorbing fresh water The large ones
are no more nutritious than the small
Ter ones, but bring a much higher
price Raw oysters are more readily
digested than the cooked ones. and the
less heat they are subjected to the
better favored they are. They are bese
when served raw.
Roasted Oysters.
Scrub the shells put them i'm pan:
the deep half of the shell down; put the
pan into hot oven and bake until the
shell opens; take off the top half. be
careful not to lose any OF the juice;
serve on plate with a bit Of butter, salt
and pepper sprinkled on top.
Something About Oysters.
OF all the shell fish the oyster is
most extensively eaten. II is highly
esteemed for its delicate flavor and
easy digestibility It has been named
by a Greek writer as the trunie of the
sea" The Romans partook freely Of
oysters Their meals We're rarely
served without oysters IN some form.
They were the first to establish oyster
beds. After a few centuries the oyster
became generally liked throughout an
Europe, and the culture is extensively
carried on from year to year While
the oysters are very small they are
taken to deep waters and fattened.
Mud and sediment are enemies to the
oyster. Holland and Belgium send very
finely favored oysters to European
markets. The industry in America is
chiefly carried on along Connecticut,
Long Island. the Western coast and IN
the Gulf waters.

OF SPORT
HOW TO BAT
Rresnahan Tells Of His Methods Of
Hitting the Ball.

i'Ae''s efN P-'f
Roger Bresnahan says; You can
tell a man how to hit. but he must
make good by his own wits. Different
players bat In different ways. The best
way, il always seemed TO me was. I'm
the first place. TO put your toes right
against that line running six inches
from the plate. The pitcher has 20
put them over and you are IN position
to bunt or drive.
Another thing. II rattles the pitcher.
He IS afraid Of hitting you. and you
are in so far that he can only see half
the catcher When you stand back he
has a clear road ahead and does not
worry about hitting the batter.
"But that isn't all. Some players toe
the line all right, but they pull away.
That IS. instead Of stepping in TO bat
they step back. The result Is one does
not meet the bah with force and is
liable to hit up in the air.
i have heard college coaches tell
their men to swing late when they
want to hit to right field. Wen. that's
a mistake at least so far as ] am con-
cerned. If 1 swung late wouldn't
know where the ball was going. I like
TO get I'm front and hammer the ball TO
right left or any other direction where
you see an opening.
"The trick I'm batting. so far as
know it. lies IN stepping with the ball.
Get your eye on il as soon as It leaves
the pitchers hand. If a curve. step
out; If inside, step back. Follow the
ball and try 10 meet it square. You
have six feet Of box there, and you
can often do the trick by stepping for
ward. II IS hard to tell just why and
wherefore. but the best caution
know IS Don't pull away
The National League pitchers that
Bresnahan finds most formidable are
willis, of Boston; Phillippi, OF Pitts
burg. and Hahn. Of Cincinnati.
when Willis is right" he says, at
Is almost impossible 10 beat him. He
mixes them up like Mathewson. and
knows his batters and their weak
nesses."
Bresnahan last year batted only .292,
and with Baltimore the year before
even less. on May 80. this year,
Mertes led the league. with .363; Bres-
nahan, second. at .361. Since then il
has been nip and tuck between Wag-
ner and Bresnahan.
