OYSTER B:DS
 LOSING VALUE

New Haven, June 21-Howard G. Marshall and Frank w. Rowley, both of this city. who were elected as dele gates from Connecticut to attend the 12th annual convention of the Fish cries commissioners, which was held in Atlantic City on June 15, 16 and IT, returned from the convention to- day.
 About 75 members from various states in the country were in attend- ance. At the election of officers, MT. Marshall was reelected secretary and MT. Rowley was reelected to the ex- ecutive council. J. c. Dixon of North Carolina, was elected president and Commissioner Wilbur of Maine vice. president.
 MT. Marshall said that the mem- bers voted to place a petition before Congress which will greatly benefit the oyster industry in the country, which has been failing for the past few years. This is pleasant news to the local oyster dealers as the oyster crops in local waters have been fail- ing rapidly because of the unsuitable oyster beds.
 According to a further statement made by MT. Marshall, the fish com mission of this state has turned over $26,000 on oyster taxes and leases during the past year. The amount is $5;00O less than last year, because of the fact that many of the local oys- ter grounds have been given up by oyster concerns. The valuation of the oyster grounds in Long Island has fallen about 20 per cent during the past year.

In The ThealerS
PLAZA.


 Last evenings patrons at the Plaza theatre were given all the thrills of a New York first night. For those in attendance were privileged to pass judgment on the initial effort of a new star for Realart. Wanda flaw ley, famous Cecil B. De Mile 1ead- ing woman was seen in Miss Hobbs,' from the great play by Jerome K Jerome. That the debut was a suc- cess. became evident early in the first reel. In the production Miss flaw ley appears as super-feministic man-hater, who finds smocks, bare tarianism substitute for those housewifely arts in which most wom- en find chief joy. Harrison Ford, Constance Talmadge's former leading man, is the one chosen to change her ideas about men. He does so ad- mirably and finally makes her fall in love with him, only to find her spurn him because of a foolish wager he had made regarding the winning ot her love. An excellent supporting cast make one ofsthe best comedy dramas of the season.
 Six Imps and a Girl in a song and dance revue is the feature act. Him Der and Patterson, "The Girl and the Violin," present one of vaudeville's 8 prettiest offerings. Princess Mai Tai, De Loache and Laurin and oth- CTS complete the bill. International News, together with laugh-provok- ing comedy, are also shown.

Edited by DR. DAVID H. REE.DER, Chicago

(Edited by David H. Reeder, La porte, .Ind.) ....
 THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR CASE: Several years ago a young man went to d doctor for treatment. He de- scribed a few minor symptoms ana the doctor asked him few questions. He hesitated a little before answer ng one of them then said ''No'.
 The doctor gave him some medicine and told him to return in week. He was not better. remembering the hesitation the doctor again questioned him and again he said "No."
 He went from one doctor to an- other, never to one that made a care full and thorough physical examina- tion, had an analysis made of his urine, X-Ray pictures of his teeth and various other methods were used to determine the cause of his symptoms
 When he finally came to me I also asked him the same questions and again he hesitated but answered as before "No."
 I believed he was lying to me, the symptoms were those of a suppressed but not cured case of veneral disease and after I had talked with him a while he wanted to know if I thought I could cure him
 This was what had been waiting for and I very promptly and emphat- ically said "No." and moreover I will tell you why, you do not want to bear the expense of thorough chemical and microscopical examina- ton which would tell me the real truth about the cause of your trouble, you refuse to tell me the truth your self and refuse to take a case unless I have the complete and absolute confidence of the patient.
 The man turned red and was about to make an angry reply but I has, tened to assure him that there was no intention upon my part to offend him but that I had certain fixed standards to work by and the most important was the confidence of the patient and the second was an ab- solutely correct diagnosis, without these I did not care to apply treat ment.
 He saw the point, and after pro. fuse apology confessed that he ha6 contracted gonorrhea several years before but had been pronounced cured in a few weeks.
 asked him if at that time he wa. in the habit of using tea. coffee, to .Acco or liquors and he replied tha he was using all of them and quit freely, but his doctor had told hin to not use beer for six weeks and h, had not used it since.
 I then told him what I believe t, be true, that while all symptoms o the disease might be suppressed while using tobacco, liquor, tea ant coffee, the disease was not who'll. Eliminated but simply suppressed an, rendered dormant and would uDne favorable condition not only infec others but again become active ii him. It took nearly three months c :, rigid diet and a direct treatment O his blood to restore the man to nor mai health with no trace of the dis ease left in his system, but he ha had no return of his symptoms.

ways discount what the patient says about 50 per cent, but go ahead and give medicine, charge a good fee be- cause they know that they will soon lose such a patient anyway, but they do not contradict the statements of the patient because it is not good policy.
 My own experience is that the only good policy is to cure the patient just as quickly as possible. On the theory that one cured patient is worth more to me~a as a booster than two dead ones or one that is dissatis- fled and still taking treatment but not getting well.

 Dear Doctor Reeder: am so | thankful for the Home Health Club 1 and what it does for those of us who ! have the privilege of writing to you | about our sicknesses. Several months ago I wrote to you after consulting | several of our best physicians. l | must say that they all were of the | n f0
 Three of them took my blood pres

 and diet for a year or more.
 Your first letter inspired both my
 husband and myself with new hope
 and as soon as we could do so we
 acted upon your advice. The resul,
 is that when called on our family

LYRIC. (RGView.l

After all, there is no one like Wm S. Hart to portray a redb1ooded two gum role in a picture about the West of the olden,. golden days. Such a photoplay is "The Toll Gate,'' which was enjoyed by large au- dience at the Lyric theatre last even ing.
 It is the first of the pictures to be released by Paramount Aircraft that were produced by Wm. S. Hart's own company and under his personal su- pervision. Unuestionably it is among his best offerings.
 MT. Hart has the role of Black Deering, a slashing, hard-riding ban dit chief. Betrayed by one of his men, Deering is captured by U. S. troopers, but he manages to escape and, with the sheriffs posse hot on his trail, finally reaches seclusion af- ter many thrilling scenes.
 'tThe Toll Gate'' was written by William S. Hart and Lam bert Hillyer and the latter directed the picture Anna o. Nilsson is the leading wom- ain, and a prominent member of the cast is MT. Hart's remarkably intel Hgent Pinto pony.
 There will be three performance: daily during the balance of the week.

PROVE REPORT UNTRUE,

London, June 21-Consu1ar in- vestigation of a report that Irish po- lice seized the personal arms of an officer on the American ship Milwau- kee bridgeat Dublin has proved the story was not true. The captain of the ship told the American consul at Dublin that a police officer had board ed the vessel and had asked if any arms other than those owned by the officers personally were on the ship. He was told there were not.
 The captains word was. accepted, and the officer left without seizing g any thing.

LONERCAN MAY
 GET A NEW POST

Congressman Augustine Loner- gar's intention of withdrawing from the congressional race this fall has caused a good deal of conjecture, and the congressman's next move has been interpreted in various ways, ranging from a desire, to obtain the Democratic nomination for governor to a possible diplomatic post in Lon. don.
 That Congressman Lonergan is to receive soon an appointment from President Wilson to serve abroad is not considered a secret among the higher authorities in the state dele gation.

WEST END.

Alice Brady as Mary Horton in "Sinners,'' which is now being shown on the silver sheet at the West End theatre, portrays for the screen the role which put her in the foremost rank of American emotional ac- tresses.
 Miss Brady is supported by an eminent cast of screen. and stage act ors. James L. Crane plays the part of the hero who comes out of the West, and Frank Losee, the product of city environment.
 Owen Davis wrote the stage p1aSs, Sinners" for Miss Brady. Its phenomenal success created the de- mand for a novelized version. The book ran into many editions. The hosts who read the book but were unfortunate not to see Miss Brady on the speaking stage, demanded a screen adaptation of the play with Miss Brady in the principal role. The screen version is declared to be even better than the spoken one because of the absence of stage limitations. Harold Floyd in His Royal Sly ness" in ? reels, will also be shown tonight.
