GOOD WORD FOR THE OYSTER
Comes Forward With Surly
Need of Praise.

When the Lancet, representative OF
the medical profession Of Great
Britain, says anything good about any
thing, 1t is listened to with emotions
of mingled surprise and respect
Some one has remarked that every
time he picked up the Lancet he dis
covered he was doing something right
along, or taking something that was
surely killing him. 1t has a good word
for the oyster just at the time when
that apparently innocuous edible is
exciting the scrutiny of our always
feverish advisers, the psychologists
This distinguished, II usually alarmist
authority declares that the oyster Is
tonic OF the first order and COM
plete food, most beneficial to weak
ened patients and those in whom
appetite is deficient" Clinical results
OF a most favorable nature are re-
ported where oysters are given to
persons suffering from tuberculosis
II oysters are indicated for the diet
of persons in the state described. they
must be wholesome for the rest OF u.s.
There was never any doubt about
this, of course, before nervous bac-
teriologists sought to fill US full Of
fear instead OF oysters. He was a
brave man who first ate one raw,
according to the philosopher of the
breakfast table; and now the bac-
teriologists challenge our courage

may not do any great amount OF harm

Are they dead or have their crcakers
been taken from them? Did some
one throw poison to the vociferous
frogs in the Punahou college lily
pond, because they crcaked him to

is the case 1t must be dangerous to be
a frog of the croaking variety.
Once the lily pond was a place Of
interest to the tourists who would
make pilgrimages there of nights to
listen to terrible and base voices of
the frogs as they lifted their mugs to
heaven and LET out croaks which pass

lilies of several colors bow to the
