OYSTERS EASILY DIGESTED.

The nutritive value of shellish. as of
other fish, depends to a considerable
extent upon its digestibility. While
there are people with whom such foods
do not always agree, yet oysters belong
to the more easily digestible class Of
foods. In a recently published study of
composition of the oyster and other prob
lens connected with their food value.
the statements made that the nutrients
occur largely in forms in which they are
readily assimilated, as is shown by the
fact that one-half of the crushed oyster
and one-fourth of the whole oyster is
soluble in water. So far as can be learned
no experiments have been made which
show how thoroughly clans, crabs, and
other crustacea, turtle, and terrapin.
and frogs legs are digested.

WE want every one to be happy and
prosperous this Christmas, but to dc
this each has a responsibility to perform
and that is to consider the needs and
necessities Of others. The business places
are anxious to fill your wants, but there
will be no chance to give the best service
if everybody should wait until the last
few days before Christmas to do their
buying; this applies to the printing and
publishing business as well as to the
merchants. You must advertise to do
successful business, but the printer must
have the copy for your advertising in
sufficient time to set the type, and do the
needed work to get the increased size of
the local paper printed in time to 20 out
promptly to the people. Remember that
labor is large factor of the holiday work
and you can aid to make it pleasing or
to the business people, by de-
laying action. Shop early, do your work
in preparation for the holiday business
in ample time.

PARENT.TEACHERS ASSOCIATE ON

At the meeting held last MONDAY
evening in Milford, a very small number
were present, which may be accounted
for by bad weather conditions, but the
speakers, DR.. Holmes and Mrs. Harring.
ton, came from Harrington at their
own expense, and when they attempted
to start home, their experience reminded
/ the reporter of the majority of Milford
I people attempting to start for the
meetings of the Home and School As
sociation, their auto would not start
until new batteries were installed. Per-
haps that is what the people of Milford
need to get started in the work of the
Parent Teachers Association meetings.
The attention given to the address of
DR.. Holmes and the applause which
followed, showed that those who attend
ed the meeting were well repaid for
their turning out in the high wind and
leaving their comfortable homes. An
other meeting will be held about the
the second week in January, which will
be in charge of the crops of teachers in
Milford. and their program will probably
be announced a week before the meeting. |
Mr.. Jump, the principal of the Har-
rington High School, gave a bright and |
talk on teachers and school, |
and stated there would be less criticism
of them and their work, if parents and |
those interested in education would take |
an active interest in the schools.

schools were absent, but possibly the

of the series, and we are
hoping that the Milford team will be
victorious.

THE WHITE BIRDS
after reading Maeterlinck)
BY LILLIAN LAUFERTY

IKE great white birds across sky,
That may be blue or riven gray,
Thoughts come to mc-I know not why
Thoughts come in flight, but will not stay.
AS great white birds from some far land
In flight to realms I not guess
Ny heart by some white thought is famed
That just in passing still can bless.
II swift glimpse OF beauty rare
Against the background of the sky.
Ny heart has learned of visions fair
And feels sweetness pure and high.
Perhaps It's goodness from within
That futtcrs out to seek the sky,
Perhaps glimpse the greater good
To make US long-and dream-and try.
