Oysters.
(Newark News.)

August's gone September's here, the fields will soon be brown and sere. But there is balm to soothe my pain; the oysters back with us again. I do not know just how the "R" comes in my blissfulness to mar, but this I know and this I say, I have not had a stew since May. Nor have l seen a single fry to gladden. epicurean eye have not had a chance to dwell in joy on Blue Points on the shell Summer brings me mingled joys; it's pleasure on me sometimes cloys I love to swim and fish and boat; 'tis fine in idleness to gloat. The hot spell brings good things to eat, but none of them is joy complete. The oyster is all things in one banquet consomme to bun. It's appetizer, meat, dessert, sometimes a pearl stud for my shirt The time of joy has come at last; the R'less months are in the past. I care not for the au- tumn's chill while I of oysters eat my fill.

Every Freight Car In Use.
Philadelphia Record }

In keeping with the recent very fa- vorable monthly reports issued by a number of railways comes the state ment that the Pennsylvania railroad on it's systems east and west of Pittsburgh has now every freight car in operation. As its equipment now includes @ portion of the large orders for cars placed last winter, this activ- ity is especially significant. With the movement of the enormous grain crops, the greater demand for coal and the heavy export business now be- ing handled, which constantly grows, all signs point to a car famine within a few weeks. This will be rather a. novel experience for some of the roads, as it has been several years since all their equipment was called into service.
 There is a promise of brilliant days ahead in the opinion of that not sell dom pessimistic observer, James J. Hill, who has come out of the West with tidings of the largest grain crop in the history of the territory covered by the Great Northern. He esti- mates that the yield in the country served by the road will be between 175,OOO,O0O and 1SO,00O,000 bushels. This compares with 11O,000,OOO bush els last year and 155, 5,000,0e0 bushels in 1912, the previous high record year. This is typical of Western grain con- ditions
 Bankers journeying westward are reported as predicting almost unbe- lievable prosperity for the United States. All of which must grate harshly upon the ears of Senator Pen rose and other prophets of woe. Things are not working out as they predicted. With hard times gone, what will be their slogan in 1916?

Long Warm Autumn Needed.
(New York Times.)

The summer harvests have been gathered with great difficulty in many districts on account of the frequent rains. The stimulation of high prices resulting from the war has caused extra exertions to be put forth by the farmer to obtain his grains The harvest even of wheat and oats is now completed over two-thirds of the area, and the final stages of the ripening period have been passed in the northern part of the country. Only corn remains subject to about month more of growth and the far mers would like to see more hot weather than they have had. The cold which developed late in tho spring when the planting set in not only delayed operations but dwarfcd early growth. Tn the northern part of the corn belt, especially, the pros- poets are not very bright, and 1t will take a long and warm autumn to ma- ture the crop.

The Cause of Loose Teeth.
 (BridgepOrt Earnner.l

The cause of loosening of the teeth has been discovered to consist in the invasion of the gums by a small anil malculae known as the enttamepa buccalis. This fact was determined by observations made last summer by Prof. Bass of Tulane university, and Drs. Barrett and Smith of the University of Pennsylvania.
 Examining the teeth and gums of forty-seven patients in their clinic they found in every instance, that these germs were present in the se- cretions. Remembering the experi- ences of Dr. Vedder, United States army surgeon in the Philippines, who discovered that the use of ipecac was specific in curing tropical dysentery which is caused by an ameba of the same general characteristics as the ameba which Drs. Bass, Barrett and Smith isolated, these gentlemen were led to inject some of the same remedy with the idea of overcoming these germs in the oral cavern. The result was in every instance a distinct and definite cure.
 Dr. Wright, United States navy sur- geon at Portsmouth, N. H., has gone even a step further in the cure of this condition, which is generally known to the public as Riggs disease. Instead of using the active principle of ipecac (emetine hydrochloride) he uses a more powerful and effacious germicide.
 This drug is mercury succinamide. The marvellous fact of the applica- tion of the latter remedy, is that very stubborn cases of other varieties of germ diseases clear up at the same time that the oral conditions are cor rected.
 American medicine can be justly proud of it's achievements in respect to these formerly intractable disease. for so widespread is the condition that it has been conservatively estimated that ninety-five persons of every hum dred are afflicted to a greater or less degree, '

Solving the Girl Problem.
(Meriden Journal.)

The New Haven school committee has recommended that the position of advisor to the girls in the High school be created as a solution to what is known as the "girl problem" in all schools. This woman would be concerned with the thousand and one problems that perplex the students in a community of 4,000, such as this High school, to give advice, to answer questions and to give intl- mate general and private talks to the pupils
 There are so many girls in High school the size of the one in New Haven, who either have no mother to consult, or else are afflicted with mothers who do not understand what their children should know. Some times the mother is not the daughters confident because of illness, some- times for lack of interest and some- times because the daughter is the child of immigrants who cannot grasp the changed condition of life here
 Whatever the reason it is not right that the girl whose mind and body are developing rapidly should grow up in ignorance and a kindly, sym pathetic, understanding advisor would do incalculable good. In a large complex institution like the New Ha- ven High school, or any High school Tor that matter it is necessary to have man principal or otherwise the discipline is not good, but there should be a woman to whom girls can go and who should advise them when advice of the right sort may have lasting effect for good upcn the young mind.
 New Haven will take a step in the right direction by adopting this plan

 In the event that the Hesperian as' sunk in this manner. the German government has no alternative but to make complete disavowal of the act of it's submarine commander This must De done unless serious breach IS again to be opened between the two countraes. The German government has another opening and that Is to prove that the Hesperian was an auxlMary cruiser, or transport car rylngNtroops for the British govern ment. She had a gun on her rear deck. But this gun was not large enough to be in violation of United States laws which permit belllgeren' mercih antmen to enter and leave our ports if. bearing a gun no larger than six inch. caliber A gun of this nature is to be ,used for defense only If the German government can prove that the gun of the Hesperian was used t.; fire upon the submarine, the bottom
 
 is dropped from the whole case. It is doubtful, however, whether such claims would be set up. In the first place, the Hesperian was sunk at twi- light of a foggy day and no one saw the submarine, tiff there was a subma- rine. Naturally. then there could have been no attack by the Hesperian. She was westward bound and carried no organized troops In all, this latest development is intricate and fraughr with many possibilities. It is to be hoped that no serious trouble will grow out of it and that if a subrna- rine did the work the German gov- ernment will be quick to enter a dis avowal

Missourian vs. Kansan.
(Topeka Journal.)

In his palmy days, Capt, J. G. Wa ters of Topeka was recognized throughout the state as the champion sob artist of the legal profession.

Arkansas a Coal Producer in fsfo.

The United States census for 1s40 showed that a small quantity of coal (220 short tons) was mined in Arkan- sas during that year. With the ex- ception of 9,972 short tons mined in Missouri and 400 tons in Iowa, this was the only coal produced west If the Mississippi river in 1s40, and for the next twenty years these three states were the only ones west of the Mississippi from which any coal pro- duction was reported. The coal in- dustry of the state did not develop very rapidly during the earlier years; from 1881 to 1902, however, the pro- duction increased pretty regularly, but for the last twelve years it has remained practically stationary. The maximum production of 2,67o,4sS short tons was attained in 1907.
