Urge Eating Of Oysters.

The oyster production Of the United
States is greater than that Of all other
countries combined, and there Is avail
able In this resource vast quantity Of
animal food which should be utilized
to the utmost at this time.
Federal and state inspection are now
given to the sanitary condition of the
beds and the handling of oysters, and
the producers are cooperating to as
sure the purity Of the product.
Particular attention is called to not

"Why, It's letter from Andrew

His son is going West and Andy is

isn't it lovely?" exclaimed Carol.
1--WE can use him to make Jim Forrest

And she rose up and kissed her father.
"Will you kindly get back to your

with my thoughts?" he reproved her
sternly but with twinkling eyes. "The
trouble is have to go to Fort Madi-

enthusiasm. "Ahl 1 seel That fatal

"Now, look here, girls, fix the house

I'll be gone until the end of the week,
