HOW MCKINLEY RESI- ED.

Some people may think that because
the President has been absent from
Washington so much since the inno-
vations at the White House that he is
not very fond of the place. 1t may be
possible that Mr.. Roosevelt, no more
than anyone else, likes all that has
been done about that historic mansion,
especially in the matter of the present
executive Office. AS to the White
House proper. the Presidents actual
::home and residence, the changes
there have not been so radical, nor do
they concern the public as much as
the alleged wings and long terraces
reaching to the streets on either side.
1t is quite evident that the present ex-
ecutive offices are far from being as
comfortable or having as fine an out
look as those enjoyed by all the presi-
dents of the past. No doubt the busy
life and close attention to business
which is characteristic of President
Roosevelt gives him little time for
contemplation of his surroundings
while he is on duty here in Washing
ton, and he may not care as much
about the surrounding scenery as his
predecessors. Those who knew Nc
Kinley well say that when great prob
lens were thrust upon him and he was
undergoing the greatest mental strain
he would ask some friend to step out
on the south portico of the White
House or sit in the window of the
cabinet room and smoke cigar with
him.
Let us devote Ourselves to our cigars
and this magnificent tiew,' he would
say, and in their enjoyment we may
forget these matters that trouble us. "
Then he would smoke and talk
about the view before him, about
some boyish prank or some incident
of his busy life with a numerous turn.
When the cigar was finished he would
take farewell look at the beautiful
Potomac and the park and the distant
Virginia hills and return to his work.
This cannot be done from the present
executive offices, and perhaps, after
all, Mr., Roosevelt prefers a car win
dow and the outlook from Sycamore
Hill to the cooped and cramped quar-
tiers that have been provided for the
chief executive of the nation. Wash

WASHINGTON Il BAPTIST.

The question of George Washing
tons religious utilization has come up
again by the appearance of opposition
to the building of an Episcopal men,
oIial chapel at Valley Forge. Not
withstanding that all accounts agree
as to Washington's attendance at an
Episcopal church in Virginia, al
though not communicate, Baptists
are now citing a tradition, on the evil
dence of the Rev. r. NJ Cans, of
Dallas, Tex, that Washington was
baptized by Baptist minister while
the army was at Valley Forge. Mr.
Cans says his great grandfather, John
Cans, a Baptist chaplain in the rev.
olutionary army, performed the cere-
mony in the presence of forty-two
persons.

SUICIDE AT CITELSEI.

Chelsea, July 2.-The llfeless body
of William II. Titus, one of the best
known citizens of Chelsea, was found
short distance from his farm house
early Wednesday morning A razor
and gaping wound in his neck told
the story of the cause of the death.
He had been missed since Tuesday af-
ternoon. At that time he went out
with young boy to hoe patch of
potatoes. The two had been working
for some time, each going in different
directions, when the bov missed his
employer. The boy looked about for
some time, but not finding Mr.. Titus
went to the house, where he was also
unsuccessful in finding him. Then
the family became concerned over the
disappearance and an alarm was start
ed. With the aid of neighbors they
searched until late in the evening, but
no trace of the missing man could be
found.
Yesterday morning the search was
renewed, nearly twenty-five people
from the village joining the family in
their efforts Lewis Densmore, a
young man of seventeen years, found
Mr. Titus body in pasture not very
far from the house. The body was

himself some time before, probably
soon after he was missed A razor,
which was found near by, was the in
strument with which he committed
the act. The place where the body
was found was within forty rods of
the buildings. The reason for the act
is supposed to have been temporary
insanity brought on by brooding. Mr..
Titus has been Respondent for month
past over various matters, and it is
said he worried over the backward
condition of crops.
The deceased was one of the most
prosperous farmers of Chelsea, owning
large farm almost within the village
limits He was quiet and industrious,
and was generally liked. Mr.. Titus
was forty-five years of age and is sur
vived by wife and three children,
besides two brothers, Frank, who re-
sides in Chelsea, and Edward, who re-
sides in Athol, Mass. and sister,
Mrs Oliver Metcalf, of this place.

Catarrh of the Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and inhames, the
mucous membrane, exposing the
nerves, and causes the glands to secret
mucin, instead of the natural juices of
digestion. This is called Catarrh of
the Stomach. For years suffered
with CatarTh of the Stomach, caused
by indigestion. Doctors and medi-
cines failed to benefit me until I used

MOTHER EDDY IN B4RRE.

The pilgrimage of Christian Soien-
fists to Concord, N. H, to the home
of the mother of the church, Mrs.
Eddy, says the Barre Times, reminds
one of the time when the church was
less powerful, when Mrs. Eddy was
younger than she is today, and sought
change of scene in the summer sea-
son. She came to Barre, rented the
house now occupied by DR.. NJ. L.
Chandler and prepared to remain for
the season. She had been here but a
few days when the Barre band gave
an open air concert on Currier Park,
which very much annoyed Mother
Eddy. She sent her man to order the
band to desist and depart. The band
refused to be ordered by her and con-
t,nued playing. Next day Mrs. Eddy
took her belongings and left tow n
never to show herself to Barre again.

COST OF LIVING DOUBLED

Reduced Its Price by L,creas-
ing the PdchdOe.

Housekeepers realize the increase in
cost of food. Many articles of every
day use cost nearly double what they
did few years ago. Malt Breakfast
Food is conspicuous, on account of it's
cost being reduced, owing to the man
ufacturers increasing the size of the
package about one third.
1t now comes in full weight two
pound packages, and costs the same as
fourteen ounce package of the
"ready-to-eat" cereals. When cooked
according to directions it goes Just
eight times as far, package for pack
age, as the ready to-eat" foods. Eat
Malt Breakfast Food and you will
have the best cereal in the whole
world, and yet the most economical.
There is nothing faddish about Malt
Breakfast Food. 1t is simple, honest
food, of real value and of most delic-
ious flavor. Sherry, the famous New
York caterer, in writing about this
food said: 81 find Malt Breakfast
Food delicate and delicious. 1t will
give me pleasure to make use of it
in my restaurant. (SIgned) "Louis

The Waldorf Astoria, the Touraine,
the Auditorium and similar hotels
find Malt Breakfast Food the most
popular cereal on the menu.
A beautiful carbon photograph is in
every package of the food; larger
pictures, without printing or advertis-
ing, which would cost two or three
dollars at the art stores, are given in
return for the coupons taken from the
package. Ask YOUR grocer to explain
this premium offer to you.

CHURCHES ST1RVING.

G.. T. Nesmith, in the June number
of the American journal of Sociology,
published at Chicago, asserts that in
the rural districts of the country the
tendency toward idleness, vulgarity
aud 'animality for lack of social, in
tellectual and political aspirations
developed by community of action
He finds that on this account the
country church is kept alive without
thought or hope of increase, mere
beggar or pensioner for support.
Among the chief causes are denomi-
nationalism, with its petty strife and
jealousies, and the tendency of the
ambitious elements to migrate.
