DANGER IN THE OYSTER.
SuccuIent Bivatve Prolific Producer
Of Disease.


There is probably no one article OF
food. except raw milk. which is so
frequently a cause of disease, and some
times even fatal Illness, as is the oys-
ter. The nutritise value OF the oyster
is very small. II takes fourteen oys-
ters TO equal one egg in food value
and more than $50 oysters to equal a
single pound of beef in food value.
This is due to the fact that the oyster
consists chiefly of water, the balance
being mostly liver and germs. The
oyster lives upon the ooze and slime
of the ocean bottom. Typhoid-fever
germs. and other disease-producing or
gaiesms are tidbits for the oyster.
and millions of them are always found
in the oysters stomach and the mu-
cous. or Shiny juice. in which the oys-
ter =. always bathed
Another paper recently reports the
death OF the Dean of Winchester from
typhoid fever. as the result of eating
oysters at the mayors banquet in
England. The result Of this death,
according to a wholesale oyster dealer
in England. has been the falling OF In
tA4' VI Oysters 10 the SA-
tent OF as per cent; that is. that there
s only one oyster eaten now where
four were eaten before these facts
became public. Oyster merchants and
persons engaged in the oyster busi-
ness generally. in England. are com
planning that their business is ruined.
Within three or four days after the
death of the Dean of Winchester. the
oyster trade fell of at Ellsworth from
five thousand to nothing
Several similar epidemies have oc-
CURED in England. and few in this
country, in which fatal cases of ty-
phoid fever were traced directly TO the
use of the oyster.
The oyster is seaseHger. and alb
solutely unfit for human food. The
idea that 1t is more digestible than
other foods is in the highest degree
absurd. In addition to the germs with
which it always swarms. the oyster
contains a large amount of uric acid
which can not be gotten rid of by boil
ing. or by any other means.

Coal Mine Explosion.

Benton, Ill. April 4.-Some fifty

Joseph Letters mine at Zeigler by a

trip he got home last Friday. He
was with a party of representa-
tives of twenty-eight leading agri-
cultural papers of the United
States that made an outing of 20
days.
The party travelled in special
cars, giving the nights to such
travel, and during the day time
took many drives in portions of
the country off railway lines.
They visited most of the points of
interest in the provinces visited
and inspected large number of
cities.
+ They attended the inaugural
ceremonies in the provinces of
Alberta at Edmonton and the prov
ince of Saskatchewan at Regina
and we're treated as favored guests
IN those cities as they were at

much that was interesting and

One of the inmates has asked us
to explain the meaning of the
word "Dingbat." There is no such
word in the dictionary; and we
believe it to be slang phrase.
Its origin might be derived from
the words "ding" and "bat."
ding" means to sound and ring;
and ''bat" is an animal of the
lasiurus pruinosus species. When
you refer to another as "Ding.
bat" you imply that he is of un-
sound mind, and that the "bats"
in his head are noisy. If any of
our readers know the origin and
correct meaning of the word
"Dingbat" we would like to hear
