Here are the exact words of th. health com missioner, which brought a reprieve of to davs for the popular sea. food: There v is Just as much reason why oysters --should be tabooed in warm September ss in August in fact, a little bit more. There is some evidence thst raw oysters carrv Infection in their bodies, especial ly typhoid. . In many .of the places where oysters are ralsetf they are care ful to kep sewage away from the beds, but in many others this precaution Is not taken. September la the typhoid month, which is amply significant. 80 much for the raw oyster. The tempera ture in cooking will kill germs and will kill most, but not all. poisons. If there ' ar putrefactive products in oysters 'tomi will not be killed. It Is safer to wait until cool weather is established . before tackling oysters. I would not set the date September IS. This la not s cise of calendar, t:ut of temperature. , The ovster business in Chicago Is larger than is generally supposed and runs into the thousands or oosens s montn. Special cars are run from Philadelphia ana Baltimore every aay ana uig snip , ments of the green gulf oyster are dis posed of In the winter by the large hotels and "after theatre" restaurants. . - An Income of over $1,000,000 a year la what the city or cmcago will derive as its share in the unique partnership between It and the local streetcar com panies which waa hit upon as the best solution of the tradtion tangle. The first complete figures or the city's profit un der this arrangement have just been made public and show the success of tne experiment, as a result otner mu nicipalities with traction problems-on their hands may adont the cooperation plan as a way out or their difficulties. The report which has been Issued con tains a statement of the net earnings of the two street railway companlea for the periods ending- June SO and July SI. ' These figures were: For the Chi cago Railways company, five months, $610,083; for the Chicago City railway, mix months, $406,48 making a total of $1,016,667., , The city's,, share of this sum, as stipulated in the recent ordi nances of the companies is 56 per cent, which amounts to a total In cash of j $608,612 for the half year.

Germany, la again shown by the Introduction of a motor sprink ling and cleaning cart which Is proving economical and satisfactory to the city department. The machine has an eight- horsepower accumulating moior ana car ries 600 gallons of water. This machine Is destined to replace the sprinkling wagon and the rubber scraper and saves the city hundreds of dollars, besides do ing the work more quickly and satisfac torily. It combines the .sprinkling and cleaning operations in one single act. One man in this machine can do the work formerly accomplished by several sprinkling wagons drawn by horses, and the work of hundreds of men with the rubber cleaner. th ritr mar count on an annual Income of at least $1,260,000 and probably more in future years, as tne cny eruw nu hWlra cnnrlt t InnM Imnrovc Other In teresting fisures were contained in the statement.

Terkes, the promoter. Mrs. Maldwln Drummond. recently Mrs. Marshall Field Jr.. mother of the bovs who sre the principal heirs of Marshall Field's $150,000,000 fortune, waa not a rich woman as wealth Is ac counted In these days. Marshall Field Jr. left her about $500,000, and his father's will provided that she should have the Income from $1,000,000. less whatever sum she received from her husband, this income to revert again In th estate UDon her death. It has been said that had Mr. Field Sr. lived a few months longer a codicil to his fa mous will would have given his daugh ter-in-law, to whom he was becoming stronalv attached, the Income from sev eral millions Instead of one. Rome con lectures are being indulged as to the amount Mrs. Drummond will be likely to save out of the Income on $1,000,000, which at 6 per cent would equal the sal ary of the president of the United States. According to W. a. Beale. who drew the famous Field will, her re cent marriage to Drummond will In no way affect her legacies. That she re married caused no surprise, as she was from childhood a beauty, with strong domestic tastes creditable to her ances try, which was German-American, her father having been Louis C. Huck. a brewer snd' malster. The two Field boys. Marshal Field III and Henry Field, are now In England being edu cated, but it Is understood that they will return to this country for their final education, as it was the wish of the late Marahall Field that they should enter an American university. A national convention to consider the subject of the country's natural re sources and the best means of preserv ing them, may be called in Chicago shortly after the election, if plans of the newly organlxed movement In this direction materialize. The matter has been taken up by the Conservation League of America, of which Walter L.. Fisher of this city Is president, and President Roosevelt. William H. Taft and William J. Bryan are officers. The turned who are Interested In the great work of oonservatlon. But conservation la not the only 'aim of the league. It plana, as well, to take steps lookinr to the development of resources, especially tlmhar ' to nerve for future use. Through the conference of ' governors called y the president the executive furoee of the nation have been aroused to a consider ation of the conservation problem. Now through the Interesting of these various organisations commerce and Industry Is being' reached." e . e e A novelty In postage stamps which insy become common elsewhere, lias just been instituted by some of th big busi ness houses In Chicago. This Is ths stamping sf flme monograms on the stsmps to serve as Identification and as protection against therts by employes. This is th first marking on postage tamps other than cancellation that na ever been allowed. Borne large . com merclal firms appealed to. the govern ment, and a short time ago an order waa sent out D.v roatmastar-uenerai Meyer, fermlltlng heavy purchasers of stamps o Place their marks on the thousands or bits or colored paper which they use every day. This Is a blow to the hun dreds of persons whose fad is philately no wno spend ineir leisure time poring over -ireaaa ana "varieties' or regular stamp Issues and searching for hidden water-marks with the aid of a marnlfv Ing glaas. When some lime ago some of the I -cent red stamps appeared with 011 01 a siug wnicn coma oe aeiscteu over ths figure by examination with 1 good reading a lass, every "variety" col lector spvnt rlsys and nights trying to get on for his album. Now. some of ths big firms using the monogram mark tngs have already begun to receive let ters rrom collectors asking for speci mens, but the task ahead of the ardent philatelist is a terrible one if he Intends to make a complete colleotlon. 'Ths marks, according to th postmaster-gen' eral'a ruling, must simply be perfora tions, tne individual punctures not cov ering more than one thirty-second of an inch, and ne wnoi design within a apace half an Inch square. Moat, of tnoae wnicn already nave come through the Chicago office are monograms signs. A few firms use Initials and others have heraldic crests. see Terrible' stories of conditions In Rus sia were brought back by Detective Ser geant Moke Mills, of this city, who has just returned from a trip to that coun try In charge of a fugitive who was wanted in Libau for the murder of four peasant women.
