Look Well to What You Eat,

The importance of securing to the diet the necessary repair ing elements that our business or profes- sion demands, together with condition that insures the entrance of those clements into the blood even in the presence of weak and debilitated digestive functions, cannot be overestinated The Blanchard Mfg. Co.,, 27 Union Square, manufactures series of foods from the three great life staples, wheat, beef and milk, especially prepared and adapted to repair the loss of energy incident to any bus mess or profession, thus securing health to body and mind These foods do not conflict with any medicine, are exceedingly palatable and applicable to all conditions, small quan- tity being taken with each meal, a fifty cent package furnishing the desired elements to an adult for one week.

they made light of it" These words are in regard to the treatment accorded to the
 king's invitation to the marriage feast of his
 son, in the parable of Christ showing the
 way his gospel was received by the Jews.
 The chapter was read at the opening of the
 services. The parable was graphically gone
 over as true story of an actual occurrence,
 showing thus the grave offense given to the
 king, to whom they owed everything, and by
 whose grace and power they held all that
 they possessed. It is in this wrong and in-
 sulting way that the gospel invitations are
 now too often treated.t Thus men neglect their highest interest and happiness for transient and unsatisfying things of earth, while heaven s riches forever and glory are freely offered in the gospel. Wilful neglect of the souls needs was shown with power and clearness.
 The discourse in the afternoon, Plgrim's g progress through the Valley of ''Humilia- tion,' was graphically related. His victory over Apollyon, and the fearful pathway of the Valley of the Shadow of death was de- picted in striking contrast with the joy and peace of his journeys end.
 The interest is well sustained, and the
 lesson of Christian. duty happily taught. The two new chimneys are very neatly
 built, being carried up through the vestibule without the slightest noticeable change in the
 wall or ceiling. New and larger water pipes I have been brought into the building. and in | the right places where most needed and con venient. So that by the alarming little fire | two weeks ago the greatest good has been se | cured, instead of irreparable injury as threat. ened at the time.
 Drowned Herself.
 Mrs. Carrie 0. Porter, who has been in the
 insane retreat in Middletown for the past three months, returned to the home of her
 mother, Mrs. Levi D. Coley in Weston or l Tuesday of last week, as the doctor consid. cred her so nearly cured that home influence | and quiet would do more for her than any thing else On Tuesday afternoon at about
 6 o'clock, while Mrs. Coley was busy about ! the house, Mrs. Porter silently slipped out of doors and drowned herself in the pond.
