A Serum to Prove Whether Oysters Hurt You

been in doubt as to whether the en-
tire blame should be placed on oysters.
Professor II. H. Hazen, head of the
Skin Department of Georgetown Uni
versity. has lately devised a means Of
definitely settling this question. One
of his patients, a trained nurse in
Washington, ate a few raw oysters,
and within two or three hours she
was suffering from a violent break
ing out" of giant hives. A week later
she ate some fried oysters. The meal
was quickly followed by similar
eruption, accompanied by high fever
and severe nose bleed.
To decide whether oysters were the
cause Of all her trouble, Professor
Hazen determined upon a radical ex-
pertinent. He would make a vaccine
from oysters and inject some Of It UNI
der the patients skin.
Freshly shucked oysters were first
sterilized for an hour, ground up and
made into a fine emulsion. Five drops
of this oyster vaccine we're infected

into the patients skin.
Within three hours after the inOcu-
latiOn the nurse was suffering in the
same way she had after eating oys-
ters-her body covered with hives,
high fever and nose bleed. This was
accepted as conclusive that the Oys-
tiers were guilty as suspected.
Professor Henry Lee Smith, Of
Johns Hopkins University, has applied
the same method TO another similar
problem. He made a vaccine from
buckwheat and inoculated patients
with it. If the incubation was fall
lowed by nausea and skin troubles it
established the fact that those persons
were over-sensitive to buckwheat and
would better avoid the delectable grid
die cakes.
The new oyster and buckwheat vac
cine will be used just as the Wasser-
man and typhoid blood tests are, to
verify the diagnosis Of the maladies
which result from eating buckwhear
and cv@ters.

- ONE people are born with taste
for oysters, some acquire it. Yet
- many persons who are fond OF
oysters are unable to eat them be-
cause. when they do, they break out
with hives-multiple red spots and
itching blemishes, which make them
look like leopards and feel as uncom-
Portable as ahen on hot griddle.
The reason for this is that some hui
man textures are oversensitive to the
oysters Juices and resent the insult
Of contact with them by swelling up
in biz red spots. Hives and similar
evidences of over-sensitiveness to sea
foods in general, and oysters in par
ticular. sometimes prove so serious
that it is all physician can do to
keep the sufferer from choking to
death.
The symptoms which oysters pro-
duce in systems oversensitive to them
are exactly the same as those pro-
duced by a variety of other causes,
and physicians hitherto have always

idol in the United States. His hand

with the gift Of popularity.
While he took the curtain alone"
after his best scene in "The Princess
and the Butterfly" the lovely young
leading woman that season imported
from England to play opposite him
waited in the wings to congratulate
him.
This is a great night for you, Mr..
Hackett," she said. There seems
nothing needed to complete your life"
James K. Hackett bowed over the

lucid intervals occurred two weeks
before her death. She screamed:

THEIRS a fool"

<<TIATHER'S fool
Recorder John Keteitas
Hackett, for nineteen years
the predecessor of Recorder Smyth in
New York, had bitter tongue. His
daughter, Minnie, was accustomed to
its weight.
She knew he was not testing when
he all but shouted Fathers a fool"
gringing his mighty fist down upon
the library table with such that the
window panes ratified in their frames.
"There ought to be law restrain
ing men from making silly spectacles
of themselves at his age. A commits
sion ought to be named to inquire
into his sanity. [ am sorry he has
lived to bring ridicule upon his
family"
Miss Minnie Hackett listened and
believed. She always listened TO her
fathers words, always believed them.
There was etched into her young
brain in letters of fire the words:
''My grandfather is fool. His son,
my father, has said So"
measure in those days of the
middle sixties. 1t was neither
meet nor seemly for old men to
marry young women. If December
mated with May, relatives of Decem-
Der cherished thoughts of commitment
to lunatic asylums.
There was no mistake about 1t.
The sedate little newspaper spread
upon the library table contained the
brief notice:
James Henry Hackett, the eminent
actor, so identified with the character
of Falstaff that he is familiarly
known as 'Falstaff Hackett,' yesterday

even tea drinking was informally
done at that time, and especially in
the old square, two-storied mansion
occupied by Recorder Hackett.
The door bell rang. There was q
rustic of stiff silks in the hall. Miss
Keteltas," the man announced, and
a woman with gray curls and wearing
lavender silk over mammoth crino-
lines came in with all the dignity a
fitting hoopskirt permitted. She
kissed her young hostess on the cheek
and settled herself and the crinOllne
beside the fire.
Miss KetetaS drank her tea very
hot as cavaliers have drunk their
brandy, "for courage" Then setting
down the cup she looked at her young
hostess.
Isn't it time to forget, Cousin
MinnieT' she said.

the space once filled with the por-

place now hung that of Recorder

a well-cut face, whose pallor merged
into the black of his justices robe.

it began. The elder Mrs. Hackett
lived with them. She told her friends
her daughter-in-a was charming to
be sure, but little temperamental,
bit difficult.
The younger Mrs. Hackett told her
friends it was without doubt true, the
Chinese pr0verb, that no roof was
strong enough to shelter two women.
the young husband adjudicated as
impersOnally as ever did his older
brother on the bench.
A wife'S place was by her huS-
bands side, of course. The elder
Mrs. Hackett took rooms directly
across the street from the playhouse
her son had leased and which had
been named the Hackett Theatre.
Every night the gaunt figure, dressed
in black, wearing its widows bonnet,
appeared at the entrance, nodded to
the doorkeeper, and took a seat in
the rear of the theatre and watched
the performance. To some one who
had stopped beside her for greeting
she would nod at the matinee idols
tall form as it walked upon or left
the stage. Her eyes would glisten
with pride.
That's my son" she would whisper.
She was living thus when illness
overlook her and she died But she
did not die before she saw approach
ing the fulfilment of her wish. There
was breach, small, but perceptible,
between the younger Hacketts.
Miss Mannering had become a star
on her own account, and was touring
in a separate company. He had
for leading woman a beautiful eng
fish actress, Miss Alice Mary
Beckley. His acquaintance with her.
it was said, widened the breach. Miss
Mannering sued for divorce. She Sc
cured it. The court decided that
Elsie, or Brownie" Hackett should
divide her time between her parents.
Shortly afterward Mr.. Hackett mar
ried Miss Beckley.

TROM time to time Fate moves
so that fortunes fall into the
last hands the original owner
would want them to. Sometimes
through ironic turns of events they
go to persons to prevent whose
ownership the fortunes dead pos
SCISSOR had, in life, spent every
effort. These are called heritages
of hate, and, commonly enough,
their possession does not often
bring happiness.
Such a heritage of hate is that
which recently turned over night
into a millionaire James X. Hack
EFT, the matinee idol. Another
heritage of hate is the fortune
founded by the gentle Robert Louis
Stevenson, which for sixty years
has been a curse to the family and
which only few days ago prompt
ed Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson to
cut off her daughter-in-law and to
leave this record of hate for all
to read:
"To Katherine Durham OsbOurne,
of incredible ferOcity, who lived
on my bounty for many years, at
the same time pursuing me with
malicious SANDER, l leave five dol
lars"
The true reasons for the Hackett
hostage of hatred has never be-
fore been told. Stranger than any
melodrama the star has ever played

But she is very proud of you and

"Too proud. Too jealous" he said.
On the way to her hotel that eve
ming the actor finished his story of
his life's incompletenesst to the actress.
What that was will be revealed in the

endorse the action of the church. A
spirit of enthusiasm and unity prevailed
at both meetings. Rev. Mr.. Stair was
one of the clergymen who officiated in
this city as one of the workers con-
nected with the Alexander Chapman
campaign and conducted meetings at
the churches in the Deering district and
also one that was held in the First Bap-

Rev. Mr.. Stair was a former pastor
of the Memorial Baptist church in this
village. The church to which he has
been called is the largest Baptist church
in Portland and seldom has an audience
