What Do the Children Drink?

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have
YOU tried the new food drink called
Grain-O? 1t is delicious and nourishing
and takes the place of coffee. The more
Grain.O you give the children the more
health you distribute through their sys-
TENS. Grain-O is made of pure grains,
and when properly prepared tastes like
the choice grades of coffee but costs
about "a as much. All grocers sell it.

Centennial Ode.

Why today is Peacham crowded?
Why today has this old town
CARRIED itself in flags and flowers,
Donned gay and festive gown?
Why with speeches, rites and music
Are the hours continuous spent.
What's the spring of all this action.
What's its meaning. cause, intent?
When nations arms have triumphed
Cannon boom and trumpets blare,
And the eXultant shouts of millions
ReDd the startled, vibrant air;
When soveTeign's reign has heightened
To term of threescore years
When new world in four centuries
Finds no rivals and no peers
Then nations pride o'erflo wing
Builds city like dream
Or creates world d. avn pageant
So vast, all Others piRniies seem.
Here the ardor and devotion
That with magnetic power
Gathers from the Atlantic seaboard
To where Rocky Mountains tower
Here the fervor and the feeling
That as one, makes all these hearts
Springs from love of Alma Mater
Primal school in all these parts.
Founded when scarce broken forests
Covered all the country's face,
When the catamount and wild deer
Were so rife that youthful learners
Anxious scanned each bush and tree
Viewed the rocks with terror, thinking
There lurking foe might be,
On an eminence commanding.
now classic sacred hill,
Long ago her fires were lighted
Beacons brightly burning still.
Founded by the Peacham spirit
full century ago,
That same spirits care and nurture
Made her great and prosperous grow.
In genial atmosphere
OF union and good will
Braced and propped by public favor
Barred from every blast of i'll
She has been the townships darling
And her children from afar
From her merits and contagion
Equally her lovers are.
Round her domicile the breezes
Softly blow in summer time
And in winters reign Old Boreas
Brings the snow and sleet and rime.
Every trait Of character
Every thoughtful gentle mood,
Every hardening. toughening process
Finds in Peacham weather food.
Wide Is her extended outlook
Over lake and vale and hill
Breeding breadth and strength OF vision
For the strife with human Ill.
Grand are the two mountain ranges
The near Green ones-the far White
Teaching us in all our living
To be noble, stable, right.
Providence and nature surely
| On this school have seemed to smile.
One hundred years Of usefulness
Who of us will serve that while.
To her corps Of faithful teachers
Acting, living, gone,
Now we pay the grateful tribute
For their work so nobly done.
Doctors, lawyers. teachers, preachers,
Editors, men OF affairs
All successful, foremost. famous
In their several walks and chairs
Testify their Alma Mater
Was efficient in the past
And deserves a glorious future
That shall without limit last.
In the hands of her Alumni
To the current of that tide
Here today so strongly flowing
To the potent local pride
To the tireless Peacham spirit
Ever brave to plan and do
And to Providence leave her,
These will surely see her through.
The afternoon exercises closed v
America sung by the audience.

A DOwNPOUR OF RAIN.

Last Tuesday afternoon we we're visited
with several showers Of rain, and about
$50 o'clock in the evening it commenced
raining steadily. An hour later the streets
were living streams. The storm was ac-
~companied by vivid flashes Of lightning
and deafening peals Of thunder. The aky
soon after cleared. and Wednesday bid fair
TO be q fine day, but a half hour past mid
day ushered ominous clouds, and soon the
sky became SO overcast that ii appeared
like the shades Of night we're falling and
the night lamp would be needed II the
days work were TO be finished. Dense
clouds rolled from every quarter with the
shifting Of wind currents and concentrated
over Eureka and the surrounding country.
Vivid and almost binding lightning soon
rent the clouds, and thunder roared and
reverberated from the mountain tops to
the valleys. Then came torrents Of drench-
ing rain, followed by heavy streams OF
water through every avenue. The volume
Of water that poured through the " big
ditch" threatened to carry away every
bridge that spans II. The storm caused
considerable excitement. but finally subsi-
ded without any material damage. so far
90 We were able 10 learn. II had . most
sslutary effect in washing of the top crust
Of filth and germs Of disease that naturally
accumulate. Tin cans and rubbish Of every
conceivable character we're washed Off into
the valley and served. in connection with
recent cleaning Of the streets by the County
Commissioners. 70 put the town In q more
heslthful condition than II has been In q
year.
