For one thing, the state Of Iowa de-

never done very much for herself In

Binet- Simon system Of measurement
and examination Of persons in prison Is
being applied In a small way, and in
formation is being obtained as to in
dividuals in prison. But it Is just q
small step in the right direction. The
parole board ran across case Illus
trating the need Of study Of individ-
uals. Past records of all men are looked
up in order that judgment may be
formed as to their chance Of return %
useful citizenship. A prisoner told
where he had always lived. Investisa-
ton failed to confirm his story. He
had ben an engineer on a railroad. He
told OF his experiences in apparently
intelligent way. but he located rail-
roads wrongly and showed plainly that
he was suffering from alteration OF
mind. But the board has no way Of
making a study of the mental condition
of that man. Somebody ought to find
out all about him and about his pres
ent mental condition. He ought not
to go out under present conditions Il
is the opinion of DR.. Howe. OF the
board. that at each of the prisons there
should be permanent resident physi-
clan. who should give his whole time
to the men, and should make a study
Of them and report on individual cases.
But nothing of the sort is possible now.

The partial destruction to a new dread

THE OYSTER AND HOW TO COOK IT
Some Approved Recipes From Master in the Culinary Art

an oyster than a pill" This old saw
is worthy of the attention Of the
housewife these fall days, when the
oyster is coming into its prime condi-
tion and adding much to the possi-

But, like many other foods the oyster,
to Justify it's high reputation as a
food, must be cooked properly So
prepared it is the acme of healthful-
ness and digestibllity Epicureans
assert that 1t should not be cooked at
ALL and the consensus of opinion is
that it should be cooked but little.
Much cooking makes the oyster tough,
"leathery," indigestible and flavorless.

SOME GENERAL HINTS

All styles of panned, creamed or stewed
oysters should be cooked over an open
fire or live steam, because they should
start to cook the moment the heat strikes
the pan or chatting dish and continue at
a forced rate until finished.
The cooking Of oysters can be greatly
improved by the use Of the chafng dish
instead of the sauce pan in connection
with the recipes where the latter is
mentioned.
Oysters most easily secured and mostly
desired are Saddle Rocks, Rockaways,
Lynn Haven Bays, Shrewsburys, Blue
Points, Cotuits, Lynnhavens, Cape Gods.
Buzzard's Bay Norfolk. Cape May Salts
Cherry Stones, Chincoteagues and Oak
Creeks.
