OYSTER NOT GOOD FOR ALL
Many Stomachs to Which It Is Not a
Welcome Visitor, According
to Physician.

It is popularity supposed that the
oyster digests himself in the human
stomach owing to the great size of the
liver. which is crushed as mastlca-
ton begins and is thought to digest
the mollusk itself. AS the oyster,
moreover, contains some ten per cent.
of extremely assimilation protein, to-
gether with phosphorized fats and
glycogen, il has always been freely ad-
ministered to convalescents, while
dyspeptic bons vivants have never
hesitated to eat 1t abundantly.
Doctor Prom expresses the opinion
that the oyster may be allowed
therefore, to those dyspeptics whose
gastric functions are deficient, in
anorexla, gastric atony, ulcer and IL
cipient cancer, and to convalescentE
from acute disease, as 1t is likely ia
improve the appetite and to excite the
stomach to increased motor and chem
ical activity.
But to the large number of dyspep
tics whose stomachs are hyperacid oil
representative Doctor Prom would
forbid the oyster as we'll as all other
stimulating foods. In many of these
dyspeptics the gastric secretion is al
ready sufficient, and it is unnecessary
and unwise to increase 1t.

PAINTS WOE ON HIS BARN
Town Meeting and Court Failing RiV-
erhead Man, He Appeals in
Big Letters.

A sign on the barn Of John j.
Pigot of Riverhead, L. l., contains
the following in large white letters on
black background:
"A thief is in possession of farms
and lands hereabouts. Law, court and
perjurers are friends Of the thief"
Pigot, who is apparently an edu-
Gated man, past middle age and rep
uted to be wealthy, came here from
Brooklyn two years ago. He bought
farm on Mill Pond. the water rights
Of which are controlled by the River
head Electric Light company.
Soon afterward he complained to
the company that his land was being
flooded because the water was held
back for power. This was denied.
Then Pigot hired a hall, invited the
public, and made an address. He said
Riverhead was controlled by a ring"
and assailed several leading citizens.
Subsequently he sued the electric
company for $4,000, alleging that his
farm had been damaged. The action
was decided by Justice Blackmar in
favor of the company.

Reconciliation.

On the third day after the singular
trial Of Hetty Castleton in Sara's IL
brary, young Mrs. Wrandall's motor
drew up in front of a lofty office build
ing in lower Broadway; its owner
stepped down from the limousine and
entered the building, A few moments
later she walked briskly into the
splendid offices of Wrandall g. Co.,
private bankers and ste9mship-own-
ers. The clerks in the outer Offices
stared for a moment in significant
surprise, and then bowed respectfully
to the beautiful silent partner in the
great concern.
It was the first time she had been
seen in the offices since the tragic
event that had served to make her a
member of the 6rm. A boy at the IN
formation desk, somewhat impressed
by her beauty and the trim elegance
of her long black broad-tail coat, to
say nothing of the dark eyes that
shone through the narrow veil. forgot
the dignity of his Office and went so
far as to politely ask her who she
wanted to see and what name,
please"
The senior clerk rushed forward
and transhxed the new boy with a
glare
"A new boy. Mrs. wranqan. he

about the office. The clerk busted an
easy chair and threw open the long
unused desk near the'window.
1--WE are very glad TO see you here
madam" he said. This room hasn't
been used much, as you may observe.
Is there anything can do for your"
She continued her critical survey Of
the room. Nothing had been changed
since the days when she used to visit
her husband here on occasions of rare
social importance: such as calling to
take him out to luncheon, or to see
that he got safely home on rainy after
Moons. The big picture of a steamship
still hung on the wall across the room.
Her own photograph, in a silver frame
stood in one of the recesses of the
desk. She observed that there was
a clean white blotter there, too; but
the ink wells appeared to be empty
if she was to judge by the look of
chagrin on the clerks face as he in
spected them. Photographs OF polo
scenes in which Wrandall was a prom
inent figure, hung about the walls,
with two or three pictures of his favor
ite ponies, and one of a ragged gypsy
girl with wonderful eyes, carrying a
