IHE two items of the General Con-
ference at Chicago that most inter
ested the people was the choice of two
additional bishops-D. H. Moore of
Cincinnati, and J. w. Hamilton of
Boston, and the removal of the time
limit of the pastorate. The large vote
that put the latter through-433 to 23S
a majority of 195-was the astonishing
feature of the General Conference pro-
ceedings. 1t is more than an innova-
tion. for it does away with the timer
acv. which at least in former days,
was regarded as the strong arm of the
denomination. For long time the
limit was two years, then three and
latterly five year. Under the amend
ment to the discipline, the bishop shall
appoint the preachers to the several
pastoral charges annually.
This action of the General Confer.
ence seems to meet with the approval
Of the church at least in the cities anc
although some OF the old ministers re

lhe PlalneSt OF all IS white
duck (1oc to 18c yard) with |
either a medium or short skirt, |
and carefully planned bolero
or Eton coat. The best styles
have a little belt, which fast
ems simply with small silver
clasp, or even a nickel harness
buckle, at the waist-keeps
the jacket in place, and adds
a touch of care that everybody
who sees appreciates.
Perhaps the most attractive
of all truly simple gowns, is
the shirt-waist suit.
1t has the advantage of be-
ing distinctively American
and try as she may, an English
woman cannot wear it with
grace.
"Half-and-half" or linen
madras, is one of the coolest
and daintiest of cotton goods
to make them of (28c to soc
yard); but some of the most
fetching are of Scotch and
American gingham Scotch,
2oc to 4oc; American, Ioc to
37Hc) which washes easily
and successfully.
The waist is made as simply
as possible after a box or
knife pleated shirt-waist model
with the shirt sleeve and
cuff; or the cuff may flare.
The skirt should be as plain
as possible too, with or with
out haring below the knee
or possibly with a flounce.
A remarkably striking suit
of plain pique (I2 1ac to 6oc)
isworn with awhile shirt-waist.
The jacket cut after the old
Norfolk jacket, but made with
out a collar-htting just below
the linen collar-a little low,
like a vest, in front to show
the tie, and finished with a
one inch facing, closely
stitched.
The blouse is loose-not
too loose; ending with a mar
row belt of the same.
The truth is ginghams (Ioc
to 4oc a yard), lawns (oc tc
35c a yard), Madras (I2 1lc tc
4oc a yard) and cotton chev
lots (I2 nc to 4oc) are as COO
and beautiful as anything, anc
will be worn more than fol
years in these stunning shirt
waist suits. So if you have ;
short skirt and plenty of shirt
; waists-and shirt-waists were

NURSERY COOKERY.
DIET IN DISEASE.
BY Christine Terhune Herrick.


CONTINUED from last week.
So far in these papers reference has
been made chiefly to diet for healthy
children. The mother who has none others
will probably hardly appreciate the crav-
ing that fills the soul of the woman who
has a delicate child to know what will
agree with her babylon even not disa-
gree with him. She can stand with toll
cradle patience the struggle to discover
something he can take during the first
months of his life, if for any reason she
has been unable to nurse him herself.
She can even undergo the long agony of
seeing one highly recommended article
after another fail to suit his poor little
stomach, and can cheer herself up
through the first six months with the
helpful assurance bestowed upon her by
numberless kind old ladies that COLES
end with the first half year.
But when that apparently intermina-
bic period is overland no one but a
mother who has had a fragile infant
can guess how long it seems,-and the
poor baby defies precedent and contin-
ues to have stomach aches, the mothers
endurance is sorely taxed. 1t is no Won
der that she becomes nervously anxious
about the little creatures food. and that
even when she has fought through the
sickly bahyhoOd years into a delicate
childhood. the chief end of her life
should be the selection Of a diet that
will suit him.
1t is almost impossible to give positive
instructions with regard to the bill Of
fare of sick baby. So much depends
upon the form his weakness takes. Con-
stipation demands one kind of treat
ment. lax bowels another. Untold harm
is done by the readiness Of the mother
to try remedies or palliatiVes suggested
by other matrons. 1t is no wonder that
an Inexperienced and anxious parent
srasps eagerly at any advice that may
help her darling. and such advice is al
ways given with an air of convic-
ton that carries weight A high degree
of moral courage is required to with
stand the temptation to give the baby
who Is suffering and plainly requires a
change of some sort.-the article of food
that another mother of wider experience
confidently asserts is the one thing he
needs to bring him into a nourishng
condition. Sometimes the article sug-
gested would be of benefit to the child,
but it is risky to try experiments with
out the endorsement of the family ply
stefan.
Still there are a few simple helps that
it is always well for the mother to know
how to prepare. When told by her doc
tor to put grated flour ball in the food
for her baby, who is suffering from
diarhoea, she should have some idea Of
how To make it, and the woman who has
consupated child Is pretty safe i'm adj

A SALT FISH DINNER.
BY Louis Role.


Did you ever eat a salt fish dinner?
II not you have missed one of the good
things of life and should neglect your
opportunity no longer than is necessary
to have one prepared for the family ia

ever, let us dispose of some of the pre-

In the first place we must have a salt

homeless cod that may be pollock, but
nice, plump, whole Goldfish that has been

cheap one, and we may well insist on
the best ingredients to aid in its prepara-
ton.

morning wash it clean and cut off the
fins and tail. We want to cook the fish
whole. and if you have not got fish

say five or six hours. according to the size
of the fish, bat it will be done properly
when reacy fer the table.
As we cooked the fish whole so we
should serve it, placing it on a hot plat

good salt fish dinner is to have every
thing hot. not only the fish and vegeta-
bles, but plates and dishes as well. The
dish on which your fish is served must
be an ample one, and around the fish

Electric Lights.

The FREE Press has from time
to time urged the citizens of Pop
larville to organize a stock COM
pany and put in an electric light
plant. We cannot call ourselves

a telephone system.
Many towns in this State with
less population have these inter-

With coal oil selling at 20 cents
per gallon electricity would come

take advantage of theopportunity.

Telephone Exchange.

We understand that some of
our enterprising business men
are subscribing to a local stock
company for the purpose of
putting in complete and up-to-
date telephone system in Poplar
vile, aud the cost to the patrons
will not exceed 81. so and $500.
At this small cost, every bus
mess house in town could afford
to take phone also many private
residences.
This is buta progressive step
for the town and should receive
the hearty cooperation of every
citizen who has the interest of the
town at heart or owns property
within the corporation.
Every step of progress en-
hances the value of property in
the town and it behooves every
citizen to lend a helping hand.

From the London Express.
The following is told at the ex-
pense Of an American gentleman
who was recently stopping with
his wife at the Hotel Cecil. On
their first evening there he hap
pened to retire somewhat later
than his spouse. Arriving at the
door of what he imagined to be
his room, and finding it locked,
he tapped and called, Honey"
No answer came and he called
again and more loudly, Honey"
Still he got no answer, and be-
coming somewhat uneasy, he

In MemOriunA.

On the night of the last day of Novem-
Der, 1900, at about o'clock, the angel of
death visited the quiet home of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. H. Smith and carried away as
his prize little Erna Clarice, aged 6years,
! months and II days.
Though so young this modest little girl
seemed ever to be on her guard against
the tempter's snare and on the watch for
opportunities of doing something for her
Master, whose great mercy and love she
seemed to realize. Her kind but piercing
remark: "God and the angels see YOU"
as she cast a look so full of expression
from those keen black eyes, viii no doubt
haunt some Of her many little friends,
even many days hence, wien they are
being persuaded by the wicked one.
She was kind to all, and especially to
the little orphans, and her words, ''mam-
ma, want to die before you," show that
she had some idea of poor orphans life.
But death has called This dear child home,
And we are left to weep and mourn,
While the angels sing oyessweetst chords,
IL WELCOME TO TIE LITTLE SOUL, CALL
ED so EARLY TO THE LORD.
But ere long our broken, bleeding hearts,
Eternal bliss shall know,
Inside the Pearly Gates we'll meet
Those loved ones gone before.
And this little soul, all pure and bright,
Near by the throne We'll see,
Where it will bless the mothers sight
Throughout eternity.
May God, in His infinite goodness and
mercy, fill the hearts of the gricf-stricken
parents with comforting love and con-
ISOLATION. A COUSIN.
