TT IS difficult to do justice to the Jascination of the first fall hats in

novelty in their headgear, the sharply squared hat for those who do not
feel the need of worrying about softness or grace of line, and some
unique versions of tho tnm-o'-shanter. .... .
Aside from these, fall chapeau models arc cxquisito in fabric and
fashioning. The harsh note sounded during several seasons past by the
severe turban has been quieted. Many of the new models have edges of
soft finish edges that serve to transform brims into charming frames
for the face.

Mollusc of 'Succulent' Tribe Rushes to Defend Genus
Ostraea Would Ostracize Skeptics What John-
stonian Philosopher Says of 'R' Superstition
BY VALVE
Today opens the festivities of the 1917
1018 Oyster Season, according to articles
appearing In yesterday's newspapers. I
wish to call the pub
lic's attention to the
fact that there Is
soma controversy on
this point, and, as
president of the As
sociated IJhahes, I
will undeitake to
present a point of
view to which the
papers did not do
full Justice.
As to my (list
point, the sago phi
losopher, Herbert
Johnston, Is well
qualified to speak.
His acqual ntance
among oysters Is an
B. I VALVE unusually wide one
nnd he has glen the subject ot Oyster Life
and etiquette close study. "It Is entirely
correct to say that the 0ster Season Is In
full swing during the monthe containing an
'IV " he asserts In his book, "Oyster
Stew-dlcs" Ho then goes on to say "How
ever, contrary to general opinion, the sea
son docs not open on September 1. Oys
ter lovers overlook tha fact that thero Is
an 'IV in Aurgust."
I would say that Oysters are very human
In their ways. You well know that there
are some humans who do not know when
to go to bed In fact, don't begin to wake
up until after bedtime. Oysters display
similar traits Conrequently there are al
vvas a few celebrating, even during the
months of May, June anfl July, known as
"Oys.er Lent" when they should be ob
serving the penitential quietness of their
beds Such oysteis are usually phjslcally
and mentally deficient
There Is also another class of Oyster that
does not observe "Oyster Lent" In the
orthodox manner. This U the dissipated
o.vster He starts In with a "wee night cap"
before retiring, and ends up by getting
"pickled." He Is then "Jugged" for dis
turbing the peace and later released on an
unsuspecting world. All such oysters
should be avoided.
Festivities have now- commenced In earn
est The most rcpectable o.vsters aro at
liberty to get "stewed," "fried," or "baked "
No oyster Is too "raw" to be accepted In
the mnet rclincd circles, and anything goes.
This country's war prosperity has had
its due effect upon the oyster world. The
cost of bell boys to arouse tho oyster from
his winter's nap Is far higher than a year
ago. The wages of the valets to prepare
tho oyster for his parties, and the ticket
tcalpers' profit Is soaring skyward, accord
ing to latest reports The styllih hotels
liavo raised tho oyster "tariff," and even
the houses making a specialty of sea-food
and catering to the oyster trade have been
shoving up their prices.
Mr. Hoover, however, will prove the
Oyster'3 friend. Ho Is urging that a cordial
reception be extended to the Incoming
hoide, the first delegation being expected
from Divalve and Maurice River, N". J., on
Monday morning. Special trains have been
arranged for the accommodation of the
traveling bivalves and all details have been
arranged to make their trip a pleasant and
a. speedy one

Diet in Fever
T IS highly Important that fever pa
tients should receive a nroner amount
ot food, and food of the right sort. Phys
iological experiments have shown that dur
ing fever, especially when the temperature
is high, the muscles, glands and blood are
rapidly destroyed. This Is the reason for
the great weakness as well as emaciation
of the fever patient whose temperature has
run ery high for some days. From care
ful Investigations May reached the con
clusion that the destruction of the tissues
In fever Is duo to the lack of carbo
hydrates More recently conducted experiments show
that by feeding an abundance of carbo
hydrates the wasting of the muscles and
the extraordinary weakening of the body
which frequently occur may be prevented.
This is a matter of very gieat importance
It Is also Interesting to note that these
scientific experiments conftim the practlc.il
observations made long ago by physicians
that the best diet for fever patients con
sists of farinaceous preparations, fruits and
fruit Juices. Nlemeyer, the eminent German
physician, fed his fever patients on fruit
soup, a very popular dish In Germany.
Hippocrates, the most famous physician of
ancient Greece, recommended for fever pa
tients a thin gruel prepared from barley
"ptisan."
The starvation plan of treating fever pa
tients Is known to be positively dangerous
and should be abandoned, The diet should
consist of fruttB, fruit Juices and cereal
preparations. The Juice of fresh fruits Is
greatly to be preferred to cooked fruits for
the reason that cooking destroys the pre
cious vltamlnes of which the fever patient
stands greatly In need. Von Hoesslln
demonstrated long ago that fever patients
should be given quite a liberal supply ot
food of the right sort to prevent the great
weakening which Is certain to occur from
the combined Influence of the fever pro
cesses and starvation.
Bran in Palatable Form
How can I take bran tn a palatable form?
How can It be uaed In m&klnr bread? C. E.
If you find It too difficult to take bran
separately, you will find that by combining
It with fruit Juices, soups or milk It can be
taken much more easily.
Sour Stomach
What la tha beat remedy for lour atomarh?
It. L.
The best remedy for acidity of the
stomach Is careful regulation of the diet
Avoid meat, fish and, In fact, all flesh
foods, tea, coffee, sweets and very acid
fruits. Eat freely of vegetables and the
subacid fruits and the cereals. The em
ployment ot fat In the form of sterilized
butter, nuts, cream and olive oil will assist
In decreasing the acid secretion. A table
spoonful of olive oil should be taken with
each mea, In severe cases the foods should
be taken In a semisolid form, not dry, be
cause mastication Increases acid secretion.
Avoid broths and other liquids at meals.
Take two glassfuls of hot water an hour
before each meal. Take a tableapoonful of
W.
sterilized bran at each meal and enough
paraffin oil to make the bowels move three
times a day.
Pyorrhea '
What la pjorrhca? s W.
Pyorrhea Is an Infection of th? gums
around the teeth with the production of
pus. It causes a loosening of the teeth and
may eventually affect the Jaw Itself If al
lowed to continue. Tho source of this in
fection is frequently improper care of the
teeth or a general rundown condition which
allows the genifs to gain access. It was
formerly considered Incurable, but It Is
now known that the disease may be en
tirely cured If taken in the early stages.
Careful treatment by a specially qualified
dentist Is necessary
Poor Circulation in Arms
What causes poor circulation and numbness
In the arms and lees? jf. jj.
Numbness In the arms and legs Is most
frequently caused by autointoxication. The
poisons absorbed from the Intestinal tract
produce an Irritation and spasm of the blood
vessels of the nerves. The best remedy
for this Is to overcome any tendency to
constipation that may be present. Eat
laxative foods, such as coarse vegetables,
fruit and bran at every meal At least two
or three bowel movements a day Bhould be
secured, and, If necessary, mineral oil may
be employed to obtain this result.
No Thirst for Water
Why do I have no thirst for water?
L. J. vr.
A distaste for water Is abnormal and
shows some derangement of the nervous
system. Water Is absolutely essential to
tha maintenance of a healthy condition of
the body, and It It Is distasteful In Its
natural form you may find It easier to
take It with the addition of fruit Juice.
Agar-Agar
What Is your opinion ot arar-arar, and do
you recommend Ita use? v, p, l.
Agar-agar Is a sea weed which Is very
mucht used In cases ot constipation, aa It
supplies bulk In a nonlrrltatlng form and
so Is very beneficial, It can be employed
In any reasonable quantity without harmful
results.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1
Senator Hiram Johnson, of California,
speaking on his nmendment taxing war
profits up to 80 per cent, this nftcrnoon
threw all the vigor of his oratory In the
final plea for the conscription of war profits
to pay for tho war.
Senator Johnson made It clear at the out
set that he was aiming directly at money
coined out of conditions created by the war.
and that ho did not propose to Interfere
with normal peace time earnings. They
should he taxed under other provisions, he
said. Ho emphasized his Impatience with
the argument for delaying application of
the heavy war profits tax until later in the
war.,
"England Is lcvlng SO per cent," he
snld. "And yet we arc bo timid that wo
would take only 31 per cent despite the
fact thnt wo aro Incurring $21,000,000,000
of obligations for the first year of the war.
What do they want us to wait for? Until
tho end of the war when there will no
longer he war profits? Why wait? You
didn't wait to take tho men nnd tho women
of this country and to break hearts and
break bodies nnd scatter them to tho four
corners of the world.
SEES NEED OF BIG TAX
"German's newspapers and people have
said of us that wo have not the courngo
to take huge war profits, and that our
corporations never win volunteer them.
They nre raying It In n dollar war with us.
and that our heart Is not In It. I say our
great weapon Is not our man-power alone,
but our man-power plus our money-power.
If we do what we should do here today we
will answer thoso who so scorn us"
The Johnson amendment Is due for a ote
today. If defeated Johnson will offer
another nmendment taxing profits about 75
per cent. He will press on, If necessary, to
a scale as low as B0 per cent. Tho Finance
Committee, confident of beating Johnson and
Doiah's followers, believes 40 per cent Is
enough tax on war profits, because Individ
ual Incomes aro taxed by tho bill at a rate
higher than that In effect In any other coun-
tr
The Johnson-Borah crowd says the com
mittee will be forced to raise Its proposed
profits tax even If the wealth conscrlptlon
Uts don't get what they want.
LA FOLLETTE HAS AMENDMENTS
La Follotte Is waiting only for action on
tho Johnson group of amendments before
Jumping Into tho fight for eight amend
ments levying a Hat tax on war profits of
from 8 to 72 per cent.
Division In the ranks of those opposing
the committee bill has stirred such confi
dence among the wealth conscription foes
that they now predict the measure as finally
adopted will show virtually no change from
the committee draft. This would Include
consumpt'on taxes on tea, coffee and sugar,
hut a big fight will be waged to eliminate
these.

HAUrUSBUltU, Sent. 1. Colonel
Sweeney, of the State Registration Board,

part In the slip-up. Thousands of rounds
of cartridges have been found to be de
fective. All lots of ammunition made at Frank
ford are tested carefully nnd these defec
tive cartridges wero no exception, It was
said at tha mill.
Potassium chlorate Is used In tho prim
cis That of domestic manui'ncMir'3 i"i.
talns bromide, or bromntc, ns an Impurity.
It requires some time for t:ila Impurity
to render tho ammunition defc mvo. Short
ly after manufacture, when tho tests were
made, tho results wero found satisi'.i'.tiry.
Scon, however, tho ammunition became use
less "We do not talk about affair"! of tho
Frankford Arsenal now as we have in the
past" said Commandant Montgomery. "The
manufacturo of defective cartridges was not
duo to carelessness.
"Everybody Is having trouble, but this
condition Is not going to help us.
"When Congress Is asked for an appro
priation for tho arsenal, It may vote
against It."
These dcfectlvo cartridges are not an
entire loss, according to dispatches from
Washington. Tho shell, bullet and powder
can bo used again. The only loss is the
primers, the labor of original manufacture,
and the wasted shipping facilities, nven
after tho return of ammunition sent to
France, tho War Department nnnouces that
Pershing's men will have moro than the
regulation allowance.

PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
Last Words
w
HEN I woke this morning and thought
of the coffee I had to make I hopped out
of bed so quick that I bklddcd and fell over.
Rowdy and wo both laughed, he with his
tall and I with my voice. Then I washed
my face and hands and put the coffea on and
stirred up tho pancakes that wo are going
to have all the rest of our lives. Before my
father came homo from his night watching
Mr. Carpenter knocked at tho door and I
wondered who had been lying about me.
He said, "Patsy, Mrs. Carpenter has been
hurt badly In an auto accident " I said,
"For cat's sake, I hope you don't blame me
for that." Ho said, "She asked mo to ask
you to come and see her this morning." I
fald, "Tell her that's all right, but I must
get my father's breakfast." He said, "Please
come right away." So I turned out the
firo and went with him.
Ha opened a door for Rowdy and me to
go In a room by out selves and there was
Mrs. Carpenter 1 Ing on the same bid they
had Wilbur on the day he got shot full
of powder. She said, "Patsy, I am going
to heaven and be an angel and I do not
want to go to heaven and leave any mis
understandings hero. You have been a
very bad little girl and I suppose you al
ways will be, but I want you to know
that my soul Is at peace and that I forgive
you for everything you have done." I said,
"For cat's sake, what have I ever done?"
She said, "We cannot go Into details at a
time llko this. You know what you have
done."
I said, "Well, I llko that, when you are
tho meanest woman on the street and sit out
on your porch all the time to keep good
llttlo girls from being played with. Who
told you that jou are going to die and go
to heaven?" She tald, "The doctor told
me that I am going to die and the minister
told me I am going to heaven, ns I should
after the life I have lived." I fald, "The
doctor may be right, but I'll bet all I've
got that tho minister 1 wrong. What kind
of a place do you think heaven Is, anyhow?
Do you think It Is a place where a hatchet
faced woman can sit on her front porch
and order the little angels to keep off the
clouds and not touch the setting tun and al
ways to wlpo their feet and not daro to
play with her llttlo angels? I should say
not!"
She Just lay there and looked at me and
said, "You need a good spanking. I should
think your mother would turn over In her
grave. You little savage, If I were not
dying I would attend to your case." So I
stuck out my tongue at her and went out.
The doctor was on the porch talking to
Mr. Carpenter and Wilbur was crying. The
doctor started away when I did and so I
went to his auto and said, "Is she dying
sure enough, mister?" He said, "Why, no,
nothing like it. She has merely had a
shaking up." So he went away and I went
back and told Mr. Carpenter that I was
sorry for him. He said, "What for? Sh
Is not going to die." I said, "That's the
reason."
I went back to my father's house and
ato some pancakes nnd had bread and milk.
Then I washed the dishes and got to school
In plemy of time. Miss Groat ty said, "How
Is your head this morning?" I said, "It's
all right, thank you. How Is yours?" She
said, "There Is nothing tho matter with my
head, Patsy." I said, ''I hope not, but you
never can tell. I know a girl out In the
country on tho right side of the river going
up whoso head looks as good as yours
does, but she Is as crazy as a tumblebug.
Then I got my lessons, which Is the easiest
thing I do.
After school I went for a swim and came
home late and we kneeled and folded our
hands and paws and I prayed, "Dear God
which art In heaven, hollered by Thy name.
wnat do you know about the nerve of Mrs.
Carpenter thinking she would be let lnto-
the same heaven that my mother Is In? The
doctor says she Is not going to die, but she
might, and it won't hurt anything for You
to bo on Your guard, for she will try to bluff
You If she can. You will know her by the
moio on tne side or her nose and she will
bo ordering all tho baby angels off the
clouds as she comes along. You can't make
a mistake about her. I am telling You this
because You havo been a good friend of
mine and I do not want You to get bumped.
Amen.
