OYSTERS AND DYSPEPTICS.
When the BivaIves May and When
 They Should Not Be Eaten.

when the 6lvaIveS way ana when
 They Should Not Be Eaten.
 It is popularly supposed that the oyster digests himself in the human stomach owing to the great size of the liver. which is crushed as mastication begins and is thought to digest the mollusk itself. AS the oyster. more Over contains some 10 per cent of ex- tremely assimilable protein. together with phosphorized fats and glycogen. it has always been freely administered to convalescents, while dyspeptic bons vivants have never hesitated to eat it abundantly.
 Dr. Pron expresses the opinion that the oyster may be allowed, therefore. to those dyspeptics whose gastric func- tions are deficient, in anOrexia, gastric atony, ulcer and incipient cancer, and to convalescents from acute disease. as it is likely to improve the appetite and to excite the stomach to increased motor and chemical activity.
 But to the large number of dyspep- tics whose stomachs are hyperacid ol Representative Dr. Prom would forbid the oyster as well as all other stimu- lating foods. In many of these dys, peptics the gastric secretion is already sufficient, and 1t is unnecessary and unwise to increase it. - New York Press.

REBUKE BY SARCASM.

About the Poorest Place to Use It Is In
 the Classroom.
 In a well known Boston school there was boy conspicuously dull at his Latin. He was straightforward fel- low and gentleman by birth and breeding, but he was a bungler at syn. tax.
 One morning he had tangled himself in simple phrase. The teacher asked a question that should have cleared him. But the poor lad did not know the answer.
 Then the teacher leaned back in his chair. rolled his gray eyes to the cell ing and said for all the class to hear, q have been told that it is hard thing to stuff wildcat with butter, particularly if you have to do it with hot awl, but that is child's play compared with putting Latin in boy like this"
 Of course the laugh came. but as the boys laughed they despised the teach CT.
 Sarcasm" said Carlyle "is the lan- guage of the devil" Be that as it may. it has turned many schoolroom into place of torment.
 A boy may be too dull to be in school. but while allowed to be there he can never be dull enough to justify knife thrust from one whose first duty is to help and cheer him.-Boston Herald.

Spread of the English Language.

The English language is the richest. most virile and most powerful of all the languages now to be found among men. The men who conceived and made good this nation were English men. and of course they spoke the only language they knew anything about, the language of their ancestors. the English language. The great Dr. Dollinger said of this language that Ito it is assigned in the coming age the intellectual supremacy that in an cient times belonged to the Greeks and afterward to the Romans" In l1OO English was the language of 9,00O.oOO people. Today it is the language or 175,OOO.OOO. and by the end of the cen tury it will be the language of SOO.OOO.' GOO people.-New York American.

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 24.-As re suit of the meeting of the National and American Leagues at this place today Charles Murphy sold out his interest in the Chicago Cubs to Chas P.

Murphy has been the disturb ing element in major league ball for a good many years, and is probably the most disliked man among baseball fans in the country. Ban Johnson, president of the American League, has repeatedly blamed Murphy for causing most of the friction between the major leagues and their players, and it finally eliminated in the Pres ident of the American League notify ing the National organization Murphy would Lave to dispose of his inter- ests, or the American League would sever it's relations with them.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-The news that Charles Murphy had sold out his in terest in the Chicago Cubs to Chas. P. Taft was we'll received here, as was anything but popular with the fans. His treatment of Chance, Tinker and other popular id ols of baseball angered the fans against him and they are glad to see him deposed.

BREEDING MORE DIssENsIoN

The republican party had, in the
last national election, a very good
lesson as to the dangers of factional-
ism, when Theodore Roosevelt as a
Progressive candidate for president
brought about his own defeat and
that of the regular Republican
nominee, VIM. II. Taft, and made
possible the election of a democratic
president and a democratic congress.
After its seemingly interminable
fractional fight in Wisconsin the Re-
publican party had reached position
in this campaign where factionalism
might we'll be laid away upon the
shelf and hard common sense take
its place in the election of the Re-
publican ticket, which has at its
head as candidate for governor En-
manuel Philip, a. conservative re-
publican, man who has the back
bone, the stamina and the ability to
give the state of Wisconsin the best
administration it has had in years,
and also has as It's candidate for
United States Senator Gov. Francis
E. McGovern, long recognized as one
of the leaders Of the progressive
faction. The other candidates for
state officers are also progressives.
In the making of platform both fac
tions yielded more or less to each other
for harmonious compromise. 1t paved
the way for getting together of the
warning elements of the party. 1t
IS extremely doubtful whether the
little bunch of ultras who assem-
blhd in a Milwaukee hotel and
launched the candidacy of John j.
Blaine for governor as an independent,
can accomplish much in the way of
destroying the harmony that is on the
way, or in taking many votes away
from Phillip.

The elegant home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Elliott Knotwell west of this city was
the scene of most enjoyable gather

event was the meeting of the Beetown
Ladies Aid Society. A dinner of sub
stantials was bounteously served: Mes
DANES Knotwell, Kroening, Addie Aus
tin, Edith Mankel, Carrie Marks,
Mary Day, Lou Wright, and B. D. S.
were the entertainers. Notwithstand-

them. Each of these propositions
will be found set forth in full in the
election notice upon another page of
this paper, and if you have not read
them it is worth your while to do so
now and give them careful and
thoughtful study before you go to
vote on election day.
Mr.. Philip impresses those who
hear him as man thoroughly honest
and earnest in his views and purposes;
he is broad minded, brainy and
forceful thinker; man who was born
and has spent his whole life in Wis
consin, rising from the ranks as a
farmer boy, telegraph operator and
finally at the head of a very large
and successful business; who has
never failed to make his word good
in commercial and social affairs, and
who is determined if elected to stand
firmly by his pledges and make it
just as good in political matters.
He made a very favorable impression
upon all who heard and met him
here.
Following the conclusion of Mr..
Philips talk a brief but spirited
speech was made by Frank R.
Bentley, who was upon the ticket
with Mr.. Philip at the primary as
candidate for attorney general, but
who fell little short of obtaining
the nomination. He delivered a Wig
orous scoring so McCarthy's "bill
factory maintained in the statec ap-

many thousands of dollars, and which
is responsible for much of the bad

Mr.. Philips and Mr.. Bentley had
expected to come by auto from
Prairie du Chen to Lancaster giving
them an opportunity to make short
talks at a number of West Grant
villages, but owing to the bad condi-
tion of the roads they were obliged
to come by train to Potosi and drive
over from there to Lancaster in the
afternoon. They went on Friday to

Don't Lie to Y our Wife"

Don't Lie to Your Wife," by
Campbell B. Casad, which comes to
the Opera House Tuesday Oct. 20,
under direction of C. S. Primrose,
was last seasons's laughing success.
The piece swings back and forth
between comedy and farces and it's
pendulum-like motion causes merri-
ment of the 'screamiest" brand.
1t is triangle farce; there are
three gay boys. two married and one
engaged; all three of the feminine
parties are away at the same time,
and all three of the males interested,
arrive at the same conclusion; they
will have a JOY time while the sweet
thing are away.
Down to Comedy Island go the male
trio and there three chorus girls are
added to the mixup. Corks are re-
leased and so are exuberant spirits;
automobiles at sixty miles an hour
bring them in contact with the police,
and besides, the girls have a press
agent who is abnormally active and he
is always on the job harassing the poor
unfortunates after their nights
escapade, ever anxious to get publicity
for the Folly Theatre.
When the lurid knot began its reac-
ton and Doppelade and his two boon
companions are beginning to regret,
the home and fireside divinities appear
just as "Amos" in tones of remorse
exclaims: ''Nevermore.
Then begins battle to ward off the
suspicious of the trusting wives and
sweetheart.
''What is 'Nevermore?' "that is the
name of sure thing, race horse, you
can't lose money if you bet on Never
more.
''These chorus girls who are they?"
"Oh, nieces, to be sure, just arrived
from Australia. 9th er lies are neces-
sary and then inventive powers are
worked overtime.
Then Mrs. Doppelade and company
with an eye to financial gain enter an
automobile, and go to the track secret
ly to bet on the ''sure thing" race
horse. They are arrested by boob"
traffic policeman and the fun gets even
faster and more furious.
Explanation seems impossible, but
the gordon knot is united and compli-
cations dissolved, just a minute before
the curtain drops, and really the audi
ence was in a quandry up to this time
as to how it would all end.
There are numerous specialties and
musical numbers introduced, all of
which are deliciously blended in this
farce. The scenic equipment is splendid
and the ladies' gowns will excite won
derment and create envy in the fem
mime ranks.
The chorus is said to be wonder
and from what the press has had to
say, we will be expecting good one.
