Oysters Now Plentiful
With Little Demand

When oysters were scarce there was
a big demand. Now that there are
plenty of them, no one wants any, and
as a result, dealers declare, the little
shell fish, which have been lowering
around 30 cents a bushel, with shells,
or about s1.25 gallon, shelled. for the
past few weeks. have taken a drop so
that 60 and 70 cents a bushel looks big
enough, with a corresponding price for
the sheIled varieties.
Indignant captains of oyster craft to-
day, when informed of the drop, de-
clared they would not sell but would
take their oysters back down the river
and plant them. it IS said. but dealers
here replied they had been compelled to
stand high prices from the fishermen
and the contumely Of purchasers too
long a time and were now determined
TO pay only what the shell fish were
worth
The demand Is light and most of the
dealers can obtain all the oysters they
wish for moderate prices, It is declared.

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain In Some People.

A great many people 60 on suffer-
ing from annoying ailments for long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence from
which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience as follows:
Il became satisfied some months ago
that / owed the palpitation of the
heart, from which / suffered almost
daily, to the use of coffee, Il had been
a coffee drinker for 30 years..
Il realized that must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee but / felt
the necessity for hot table drink,
and as tea is not to my liking, 1 was
at loss for awhile what to do.
Zone day | ran across a very sens-
blA and straightforward presentation
of the claims of Postum, and was so
impressed thereby that l concluded to
give it trial, and have used it ever
since.
"The effect OH my health has been
most salutary. The heart palpitation
from which / used to suffer SO much,
particularly after breakfast, is gone,
and | never have a return of it except
when I dine or lunch away from home
and drink coffee because Postum is not
served. / find that Postum cheers and
invigorates while it produces no harm
full stimulation"
There's a reason" and it is ex-
planned in the little book, THE Road
to Wellville," in pkgs.
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.
