The original idea Of co ored Easter eggs
was probably borrowed from Nature that
great source of original thought, for IL Is
during the month OF Towering April that
the birds I'LL their tiny nests with tinted
treasures As Easter offerings, eggs beau
tifully dyed and decorated are extremely
popular, making UP the greater part Of that
immense mass Of gifts which each year
makes its way from friend TO friend What
could be more peculiarly appropriate or
more beautiful in artistic adornment than
these sermons in sheSy" The custom OF
bestowing gifts at Easter is one fraught
with the tenderest feeling and replete with
expression OF good will When the gifts
bestowed are tokens OF loving hope and
congratulation, received and donated In
this spirit, then we celebrate in true sense
this season OF universal rejoicing To whiG6
the lilies and the purple passion flowers are
consecrated-Efhe NJ Huddlss,on, in st

Now ir the Spring of the Year.

During Winter, Nature wisely srranges
that we should live on foods containing

sIve work OF the liver, and 50 during tho

With the approach of warm weather our
diet charges TO muscle producing fooi, and

This Is evidence Of an unhealthy con-

necessity Of an Alternative At this period, tho
common idea is to take drastic pills and
