 The narrator has lived to learn the manner of judging man, by means of his treatment Of the oyster. There are men and men, and the manner in which a man eats a raw oyster is a fairly good indica ion of that mans nature and character.
 Some men will grab the oyster shell With one hand, grimly impale the oyster upon one prong of the fork, slop him around ill a mixture Of cat sup, hcrseradish, tabasco sauce, lemon juice and worcester sauce, and then jam the oyster down hls troat without more! ado, placidly munching a cracker to take away the burn oi the pepper sauces.
 The Proper Way.
 The man who knows, however-the man who was brought up with the proper apprc citation of the pure, m nocent delight which comes iron the flavor Of fat, richlybre-., Payou Cook or Bayou Barataria oyster that man treats his oyster better, and with more judgment.
 That man also mixes his esauce- Lut he mixes sauce, while the other fellow mixes .:auces: Tn ts scnr difference, if you want tc !la3w. ! len ho slowly, with judicial. cold -m easu"- ing eye, drops his oystter into the sauce, and deliberately places tfe oyster in his mouth. Just one little crunch of the te-th, and the oyster has been bisected. The mouth, :he whole gustatory tract, is filled with the rich flavor of it.

And when a glass of white wine follows that dozen oysters, one feels that it really doesn't natter so very rmch whether school opens in September or does not open at all.
 Which is one reason why oysters and schools are somewhat related.

GIRLS WON'T TELL
Miss BreSette Finds Trouble in
Obtaining Information.
Wage Farmers Are Afraid of
Losing Their Jobs.

Queen Divorce Case.
Campaign for Women Receives
Severe Jolt.

Members of the Kansas wage COM
mission have bumped against stone
wall. The Kansas working girl is re-
fusing to tell of her troubles under
oath or in a public statement and
there is new source of trouble for
the commissioners who are trying to
regulate the girl labor Irregularities.
While the members of the commits
sion can gather barrels of informa-
ton about needed regulation, the
working girls hesitate to step out in
the OPEN In many instances, the fear
of losing their positions faces the girls.
So the Kansas working girls see no
glory in riding on the wave of re-
form that may cost them their posi-
tons.
Just now Miss Lenna Bresette, state
factory inspector and secretary of the
wage commission, is trying to solve the
problem. When blanks are sent to
the clerks and factory girls asking
work and hours of employment, the
blanks do not always come back to
the state house with the desired infor-
nation. So Miss Bresette is worried
Employers Are Kind.
How are we to get this information
if the girls won't tell us?' asked Miss
Bresette, who for three seconds laid
cry. 1.-The employers are kind to us.
Very When I visit a store or shop
or factory, I am received cordially. l
am told to go as far as like and look
the place over until I get tired. But
the real inside facts are the facts the
working girls themselves can give.
Those are the facts we have so much
trouble in collecting
When the new commission to regu-
late conditions among working girls
was created, several hundred letters
came from girls in the larger towns of
the state. These letters told of long
hours and conditions that needed reg

breath and prepared for long cam

FLUSH KIDNEYS
WITH SALTS If

Noted authority says we eat TOO
much meat, which clogs
Kidneys.
Take glass of Salts when Kidneys
hurt or Bladder bOtherS
You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally. says
a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which exciteS the kidneys,
thew become Overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisonS from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matisn headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness dizziness, sleeplessness
and urinary disorders come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in a few days
your kidneys will act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gem
erations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure: makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
omplications.-Ad

enduring than clapboards. 1t is built

members of Adolph E. Rouland's Sun
day school class in the First Methodist
church of haywood, declared them
selves on strike Thursday as result
of Rouland's resignation, which fol-
lowed, ne said, political differences

the civil welfare party and Rouland
is identified with the good govern

said he had no comment to make on

Bull Moose Is Pursuing a Policy
of Watchful Waiting.
Wants to See What Elephant
and Donkey Do.
HENRY ALLEN ON THE OUTLOOK
Party i'm Kansas Will Follow
the National Leaders.
Hiram Johnson a Likely Man
for Presidential Nomination.

Whether the ProgreSSiveS put a ma
tional ticket in the field in 1916 de-
ponds upon the action of the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties during
the next few months, according to
Henry J. Allen of Wichita. With a
Bull Moose national ticket, Kansas
Moosers would doubtless get behind
the movement with a state ticket, the
Wichita editor believes.
Allen IS sanguine as to the future
of politics. He sees many good, strong
and true men in the Republican party.
He sees an element of virtue in De-
mocracy. If one of the old parties
We're to stir up a real lively and dew
l1Sh Irritation with the PrOgreSSiveS,
Allen might approve an amalgamation
if he thought the proposals were gem
uine and sincere.
''Progressives in the nation are
watching the actions of the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties more
closely than the leaders of these
parties realize" Allen said in discuss
ing possibilities of the next presiden-
tial campaign. 1T depends on the
whether the Bull Moose will again be
in the field
All of which might be taken by
some politicians as an indication that
him an olive branch and a political
harbor of refuge. But Allen insists
that the Progressives are still alive and
doing business as going concern.
Massachusetts Vote Meant Little.
1.-The vote in Massachusetts, really
didn't mean what might be surmised
on the face of things and the Pro-
gressives are still strong" Allen ar
gued. They are, however, more in
dependent in their political beliefs
than the old time politicians and they
want to see their policies rather than
their party win"
With Progressive national ticket
in the field, Allen anticipates that
Hira m johnson, governor of California,
would be the third party nominee for
the presidency.
81 don't pretend to predict what
Roosevelt will do in the next cam
paign," Allen said when asked for an
opinion as to the colonel's political flu
ture. johnson. however, would prob
ably be the logical man for the presi
Dental nomination if a fight were
made
whether there is Progressive
ticket in Kansas depends entirely on
whether a national ticket is nominal
ed. With candidates for president and
vice president, the Progressives would
most certainly nominate state
ticket"
AS to the men who might be in the
front rank of the third party fight in
Kansas next year or the possible nom
inees of the party in the state, Allen
declined to venture a guess.
What will Murdoch dO?" Allen
was asked.
Victor is still Progressive" said
Allen, land he will work any place
they want to use him"
Allen was active in the suffrage
campaigns in New York and Massa-
chusetts. He made a number of
speeches for the women, but even his
oratory failed to save the day.
"I shudder to think what would
have happened to suffrage in the east
had not Billy Morgan and 1 gone back
to testify" said the Wichita editor
and 1914 Progressive gubernatorial
nominee.

The Constipation Bugbear

Nujol is odorless and tasteless,
absolutely neutral, and is not
digested or absorbed into the
system. 1t acts merely as a me-
chanical lubricant.
Nujol is not a drug. Its use
will not give quick, temporary
relief. But Nujol is a genuine
remedy in that it relieves con-
stipation in the most natural
way by lubricating the lining
of the intestines, softening the
intestinal contents, and thus
promoting healthy and normal
bowel activity.
