THE ABUSED OYSTER.

The oyster in his glory is Il rich. dark

and has Il delicious incolnparable salty
flavor which nobody who really knows
him and has the taste To appreciate
him would ever dream of spelling with
crude condiments But rarely will the

turc to market 1t is not fat enough or
white enough for the vulgar crowd. So

the fiuc natural juices by Il process of
osnoSiS and substitutes therefor y
like balloon and makes it just as
tastecss But it looks fat like a
scrawny Christmas turkey judiciously
fed by an air pump. Then it is put
before the American as an oyster. and
the American. who judges his food and

A DRINK OF WATER.
Why 1t In Good Plan to Take One
Before Breakfast.

In the morning the stomach contains
considerable quantity of mucuS.
spread over and adherent to its walls.
If food enters at this time the !cna.
cious mucus will interfere to som" cX-
tent with the direct contact between
the food and the stomach necessary to
provoke the secretion of gastric juice.
a glass Of water taken before break
fast passes through the stomach into
the small intestines In II continuous
and uninterrupted flow. 1t partially
distendS the stomach: it thimS and
washes out most of the tenacious nu-
Gus: it increases the fullneSs of the
capillarieS of the stomach directly if
the water is warm and indirectly in a
reactionary way if it is cold Care
must be taken not to take cold water
when the circulation. either local or
general. is SO feeble as to make re-
action improbable We should not risk
it in an advanced age nor in the feeble.
whether Old or young. nor should it be
taken in local troubles like gastric
cHtarrh In these cases it is best to
give warm or hot water. The addition
Of salt is very beneticial.-L Fam
