The True Way To Enjoy a Pleasure.

The True Way To Enjoy Pleasure.
The way to enjoy a truth is to pass it
on to others.
Certainly it is a pleasure after having
enjoyed anything to be able to see your
friends enjoy it. A lady of Key West,
Fla, believes in this. She says: Il am
a great believer in passing q good thing
along to others and my faith in Postum
Cereal Coffee is founded upon such
truthful experiences that l take pleas
ure in passing it along tony friends.
Coffee has had a very distressing
effect upon me. l have long been n
great sufferer from indigestion Some
time ago l commenced drinking canned
milk with just enough tea to give it a
flavor. Even this did not agree with
me and when a friend of mine a few
weeks ago told me what wonderful re-
suits she had gained by giving up coffee
and drinking Postum l bought a pack
age to try.
Il quit coffee and tried the Postum.
Have found it delicious and nutritious
My appetite, which was very poor,
has increased wonderfully and my indi-
gestion has disappeared. L look for
ward to meal time and Postum Cereal.
Il know many people who have bene-
fitted by leaving off coffee and taking up
Postum. One, a delicate elderly lady,
suffered terribly from nervous head
aches and other nervous troubles. She
was on the verge of nervous prostra-
ton when advised to drink Postum
instead of coffee, which she did with
the result that her headaches have
almost entirely disappeared already.
Her doctor was surprised at the
result and advised her to stick to
Postum. She looks younger and
fieshier than in 10 years past" This
lady also goes on to give the cases and
names of half dozen other friends.
One of these il. a Cuban.
"Cubans are famous coffee drinkers
and this gentleman was no exception.
His physician exhausted his remedies
without any benefit. When it seemed
he could live no longer friend advised
him to shift to Postum. He dropped
coffee and took up Postum and he is
now a living monument to the wonder
full properties of this drink" Names

Easter Lilies.

Although the regular Bermuda lily holds
sway throughout the land as the saint
among flowers for Eastertide. the old
fashioned Gala lily is still much in evil
dence and much in favor. In the West
and Middle West, where the Bermuda
blossoms cannot readily reach, its vogue
is undisputabe. Southern California is
as famous for the culture of this variety
as Bermuda is for the other type. I'm
like the oversee lily, the Gala cannot
stand much crowding. If any particular
plant fails to receive its full quota of
soil and sunshine, it becomes at suce
weak, sprawling affair destitute alike
Of beauty and blossoms, When well
cared for, however. as it is in the many
splendid hedges that surround so fire.
quently Pacific residences. it is a thing
over which no other lily can boast SUI
periority.
1t is possible in the near future that
the laurels of lily growing may be
snatched away from the Bermuda gem
try. OF late years, along the coast of
the Carolinas and in certain sections Of
Florida, the government has been quietly
experimenting with lily culture against
the possibility of growing them in this
country. No small measure Of success
has attended these efforts. The proper
soil and a favorable climate has been
found in many localities, and If the de-
partment of agriculture succeeds in maxi
ing their plants riren simultaneously or
ahead of the oversee product, the Ber-
muda monopoly will be a thing OF the
past.-Warren Harper, in The Pilgrim

OLD SOLDIERS HUNT RGGs
HIDDEN By THE CHILDREN.
Because of the Coming Of the
Rastartide

The grounds at the Soldiers Home
yesterday afternoon was the scene of
never t. be forgotten incident.
Easter tide with all its happiness had
shed abroad its spirit and animated by
this a number of the sweet little girls
who make up the d H. Hill Chapter,
Daughters of the Confederacy Joined in
making a happy afternoon for the Con-
federate Veterans at the Soldiers Homo.
In carriages and in carryall the off
GERS of the Chapter some guests and the
children of the Chapter reached the Sol
diers Home shortly before five o'clock.
In the party was the new president Mrs.
George Graham the treasurer, Mrs. Geo.
S. Terrell, and the secretary, Miss Bessie
Massey. There was also with the party
Mrs. Felix Harvey, of Kinston, president
of the Chapter there, and her sons,
Masters Felix Harvey and Leo Heartt
Harvey, Mrs. j. Staynne Wynne and Miss
Winifred Massey. The d. H. Hill Chap
ter numbers seventy-two, and the honor

Misses Kathleen Bernard Louise Ber-
nard, Mary Lumsden, Annie Lee Wynnc.
Eleanor Conn, Hannah Conn, Lillian
Riddick, Elizabeth Hill, Eugenia Clark,
Sue Thackston. Jean Thackston Nellie
Lewis, Elizabeth Johnson. With the
party were also Master Leo Heartts and
Ben Park Terrell
The little girls in the party knew the
old heroes, for as the carryall drew up
in the grounds of the Home, sweet little
voices could be heard saying: That's
my old soldier" 81 brought my old sol
der cake last Sunday See. yonder is
my old soldier" The answering smiles
of the men who once stood in the fore
front of battle to the childish greetings
was at once lovely and pathetic.
And the party had brought gifts, A
half dozen sofa pillows meant for COM
fort had been brought. and each child
had brought many multi-colOred eggs for
the Easter hunt. There were over
twelve dozen of these, and after many
prettily colored eggs had been given tho
veterans who were sick or unable to
join in the hunt, the children began to
hide the eggs.
While this went on the old soldiers
withdrew indoors and beneath flower
bushes, among the violet growth. beneath
tufts of grass here and there on the
grounds the little girls hid the Easter
eggs. Then at a signal came the Vet
Grams, Joining in the fun like children.
Here and there they sought the pretty
remembrances and found them to their
joy Some of the old soldiers who could
not stoop sought the aid of the little
girls to pick up the eggs they found, and
some from the piazza pointed out hiding
places with sticks.
1t was a happy occasion for all. The
happiness in the faces of the old mel,
was manifest and their laughter and
glee was as mirth and music to the
little girls who had made the day so
pleasant.
After chatting with the soldiers, in
specting their quarters and viewing the
well kept and attractively arranged
grounds the D. H. Hill Chapter party re-
turned to the city. 1t was an evening
well spent and it carried joy to the
hearts of both those who gave and those
who received.
