The adulteration 20 increase the
bulk of the oyster is made by floating
the oysters in water until they become
bloated. Such practice is direct vio
lation of the general food act of 1909,
which says:
"Oysters and other shell fish whose
water content has been increased,
whether by floating or drinking in
fresh water of less density than that
in which they have grown, by the ad-
dition of ice or water. or in any other
manner, will be deemed adulterated.'
Dairy and Food Commissioner James
Foust issued q warning early In the
year against "foated" oysters and both
the State and United States govern
ment officials have been active in the
prevention of adulteration for the past
several months. Commissioners Foust
maintains that in addition to the fraud
practiced the floating" also affects

Here is one of the prettiest house gowns
that could be suggested for the coming
season. The open neck with the big collar
seems to render it especially desirable for
the warm weather and for the washable
materials. In the picture, it is made from
one of the new cotton crepes, showing a
quaint little flower design with white
collar and cuffs lace-trimmcd. The loose
fronts are held by belt, but the backs
are shaped to the figure in extremely be-
coming and graceful lines. The sleeves
may be made longer If preferred and the
collar may be cut square or round. There
are numberless suitable materials for such
a gown, great many washable ones and
also the light weight woods that will be
liked for the cool weather. Challis is
beautiful, cashmere is most desirable and
handsome and there are wool crepes that
are in every way suitable. Silk and cot
ton threads are combined to make very
attractive materials and very service
able ones. A crepe of these two materials
would make practical as we'll as hand
some house gown with trimming of a
simple silk or of the same material lace
trimmed.
For the medium size will be needed, g.
yards of material 27 inches wide, III
yards 80 or OF yards A., with y of a
yard SO for the collar and cuffs, a u yards
of banding and 7 yards of lace.
The pattern So22 is cut in sizes from

ment of this paper, on receipt of ten cents

Younger, famous outlaw of border
days, but of late years devout church
attendant and peaceful citizen, died at
his home here last night after linger-
ing illness. He was ~ years old and
unmarried.

the members of the notorious robber
bands that infested Western Missouri
during and after the Civil War. He
was a member of the Quantrell band
of guerillas and with his two brothers
took part with the James boys in bank
and train robberies in Missouri and
neighboring States that netted the
Iooters more than a hundred thousand

Cafe Serves Drugs
With Mashed Potato
Special 10 the Telegraph

San Francisco, March 22.-The un-
usual popularity of Mike AIDES res
taurant was accounted for when De-
tective Nelson Mathewson discov-
cred that Mike served morphine with
mashed potatoes. Men and women
were seen sinking in, hands trem-
bling, lips quivering, their eyes dull.
When patrons emerged their step
was buoyant, their lips wreathed in
smiles and their eyes a-sparkle.
Mathewson paid for a meal and
plunged a fork into the center of the
dish of mashed potatoes and pene-
trated the secret. Mike was arrested,
charged with violating the State
poison law.

Because, mother. I will not put

not help knowing that she was
somewhat amazed at tn e meager-
ness of my wardrobe. She saw that
my clothes were the very same ones

What if they were" Myra ex-
claimed. Does ones success in so
ciety depend upon the clothes one
wears?"
"It certainly depends upon the
amount of money she has, Grace
declared. And why shouldn't it,
mother? Stop and think of what
the members of that set do They
go to fashionable hotels in the sum-
mer - just as we have done every
year until now. Or they have theiI
beautiful country homes, where they
dress elegantly, play tennis, golf
and so forth, ride horseback and
drive motors.

that crowd, she feels that she is ac-
cepting everything with the knowl-
edge that she can return nothing

A Never Failing Way
to Danish Ugly Hairs
(Aids to Beauty

No woman is immune to superfuous
growths, and because these are likely
TO appear at any time, it is adyisable
to always have some delatone powder
handy to use when the occasion arises
A paste is made with some of the
powder and water and spread upon
the hairy surface; in about 2 minutes
this is carefully removed and the skin
washed. You will then find that your
skin is entirely free from hair or fuzz.
Be sure, however, to get real delatone.
