Oysters Not Unhealthy
Henry C. Rowe, head of the Oyster Gntwers and Dealers' Association of North America, has written this de¬ fense of the purity of oysters:
On Nov. 18 an article waa pubKahed entitled "Blood Gift Failed to Save Miss Thomas." In this article tbe atatement waa made that her physi¬ cians attributed her illness to oysters which she ate while dining with friends. The secretary of the Oyater Growers and Dealera' Asaociation of North America visited the physiciaas that attended Misa Thomas, and they informed Him that oysters were never mentioned by them as having caused this case of typhoid fever, and that they never heard of such a theory with reference to this case until tbey read the published article.
It has been the custom daring a few years paat to attribute, to oyatera a case of typhoid fever, but in the paat year and a half tfae highest scientific authorities have discredited these statements, aa for inatance. Dr. Carl I. Alaberg, Chief of the United States Bureau of Chemistry, wiio baa ex¬ pressed pubHcly his regret that water and millc are not as free from dangers of conveying typtioid fever aa are oys¬ ters.
Hr. Rowe points out that, contrary to the popular opinion, not one bushel of oysters in a thousand sold on the market grows wild. Instead, he aaya, the oyster industry haa become as much a matter of selection and careful cultivation as any other industry in the work). The maturing grounda for oysters are situated in the great, open baya, often a hondred miles or more from tbe places the baby oyaters are grown, and far from the sourcea of contamination which may have existed contiguous to creeks, rivers and estu- ariaa from which tbe wild oysters were taken formerly.
"These great oyster farms," he says, "comprising from 6,000 to more than 25,000 acres undlk* one inanage- ment, are often, situawd several milea from land, where the bottom is con¬ atantly swept by deep, clean currents of aalt water, insuring purity for the product. The uae of deep, open wat¬ era in the great bays and sounds haa also been increased by the fact that tbe oysters grounds in tbe vicinity of cities and in rivers, creeks and harbors have been largely abandoned, and those whicb are within several miles of auch localitiea are now inspectod by competent bacteriological elperta em¬ ployed by State authority."

Diphtheria Closes
Hospital
Mineola, L. I., December 16—The Mineola Board of Health late yeater- day afternoon quarantined the Naaaau Hoapital, which is locate^ in that vill¬ age. Dr. Guy F. Cleghom, the vill¬ age health oflicer, af^er an examina- ticn, discovered that twelve nurses were infected with diphtheria, and after a consultation with Miss Adams, the superintendent of the inatitution, it waa decided to declare a quarantine until the latter part of the week, at leaat. Of the twelve nurses who are stricken with the disease, but one. Miss Elizabeth Simons of Lynbrook, is confined to her room. The other in¬ mates of the hoapital bave only a alight attack, but it was deemed tbe safest method to isolate the building until ali danger of contagion was over.
About a week ago Carmine Capocim- bo, a 12 year old Glen Cove boy, waa brought to the inatitution and his caae was diagnoaed as typhoid. Within a short time he developed diphtheria. In tbe meantime the dread disease was communicated to Dennis Bailey, a boy from Oyster Bay, who was in tl)e boa¬ pital for injuriea to hia back. Tbe nurses in waiting contracted the dis¬ ease, and they in turn communicated it to ten of the other nurses, wbo live in a building adjoming tbe hospital, which is known as the Nurses Home. Tbe boy wsa removed to tbe Kingston Avenue Hospital of Brooklyn.
The hospital will be immediately disinfected and Dr. Cleghom i will ad¬ minister antitoxin today to all, tbe nnraea infected. Tbe manageibent, yesterday afternoon refused to accept a case that was brought and tbe an¬ nouncement was made that no cases will be taken in tbe boapital until all danger of contagion ia over. Patients are being turned over to tbe Mercy Hospital at Hesaps^ad.—Eagle.

Corsets Save Life
Although her conoition is still con¬ sidered precarious, it is atated official¬ ly today tbat Mias Virginia Peterson, 18 years eld, daughter of Louis Peter¬ son, of Miibura Avenue, who was dragged over fifty feet of picket fence at tbe Long Island Railroad atation here ahortly after 6 o'clock on Satur¬ day afternoon, will recover. Dr. Lather H. Kice, who haa been in al¬ moat conatant attendance aince the ac¬ cident, declared that the young woman waa auffering from bruises and lacera¬ tions of the body and limbs and nervous shock, but nothing of a more aerioua nttare has developed yet.
Miss Peteraon waa in company with James Roth, aged 22, a neighbor, when sbe met with the accident. Both were hurrying to catch the 5:02 eastbound train for Freeport. As they approached tbe station from the north the train palled into the atation, west of Grand Avenue, and came to a stop in such a way tbat tbe streets were blocked.
One of tbe doors on the north side of tbe train was open, and Roth ran to it and climbed aboard. He extended hia hand to Miss Peterson to aid her. but before she was able to get a foot¬ ing on the lower step the train hand started.
In front of the Baldwin station be¬ tween the north and south tracks is a four-foot picket fence suspended from concrete posts. Aa the train started 8lo#ly to tbe eastward Misa Peterson'a skirt caught in these pickets and de¬ spite tbe efforts of her escort she was pulled from hia graap. As the train continaed her body was swept over the pickets, breaking them off for some fifty feet. Her clothes were literally torn from ber body and only for her corsets she might bave been ground to piecea. But she pluck ily hung on to one of the handrails ontil Roth pulled the bell rope and atopped the train.
Then ahe fell unconscious between the fence and train. Passengers hur¬ ried to ber aid and she was dragged from ander the cars to the station plat¬ form. Dr. Kice was summoned while she was on har way home in an auto¬ mobiie.
Arm Broken As
Auto Turns Over
As a result of an automobile acci dent last Thursday afternoon, Eldward A. Spiegel of Archer Street, is nurs¬ ing a broken arm and bruises. Not- w^hstanding this he is being congratu¬ lated on a miraculous escape from death. ,
Spiegel was out in his runabout on Merrick Road. Traveling eastward at a good rate of speed; he had just passed Merrick Avenae, Merrick, when the steering gear failed and the car plunged into a pile of sand on the roadside. The sudden stopping turned the car completely over, it laying on the ground upside down, with Mr. Speigel underneath. It waa fully ten ifnnutes before an automobile truck passed, the occupants alighting and aided Mr. Speigel in getting out from the wreck, the engine of whicb was still going. Mr. Speigel did not lose consciousness during the entire time and he asserted the ordeal was a most horrifying one. Pinned to, tbe ground, absolutely helpless, his great fear was that the smoking machine would burn, in which case it would mean sure death.
