Easter.

Easter was high day in the Episcopal
church in Forrest City. 1t has been the
purpose of the rector and congregation to
complete all the improvements by Easter,
but some few unfinished parts were still
in evidence. However, they did not fail
to celebrate the occasion in BETTING
manner. Tile church ehancel was elabor-
ately decorated with beautiful flowers of
every kind. Not only the congregation
brought their choicest plants, but several
kind friends sent theirs. All these were
placed i'll such an artistic way that the
altar and chancel looked like ''the Lords
flower garden.n
The services of the day began with a
special service for the children at half
past nine o'clock. At the close of this
service they brought forward their mite
boxes which were opened and found to
contain $1,000, the missionary offering of
the children during the season of Lent.
By eleven o'clock the nave of the
church was filed. with worshipers. The
choir had prepared most exquisite pro.
gram of music. Many expressed them
selves as highly delighted with the entire
service.
In the afternoon at three o'clock the
rector baptised four persons, two adults
and two infants. The beautiful little
daug liter, Ada Louise, of Mr.. and Mrs
John Anderson was first deceived into
the congregation OF Christ's flock y
Judge John S. II. Cowan and wife were
next baptised, and then their beautiful
child Rebecca.
The church took on renewed beauty in
the evening under the electric lights. The
same program of music was rendered by
the choir. Evening prayer and sermon
by the rector were well attended.
The day was most happy and delight.
full one, and the worshipers, no doubt,
felt that the resurrection Of Christ did
bring light and gladness into the world
The sermons by the rector were on the
subject of the resurrection and were able
and profound.

A TRUE BOWEL
CLEANSER,
4 Remedy That Purifies the Bowels
Mildly, Strengthens the Bowel
Channels and Promotes
Regularity,
A General System Tonic.

By no means the least of the valuable
properties of Prickly Ash Bitters is its
admirable effect in the bowels. Any
active cathartic viii empty the bowels,
but it takes more than a mere cathartic
to cure them. What is needed is tonic,
restorative; one that will strengthen
the bowel channels and prevent the re-
turn of constipated conditions. Prickly
Ash Btters contains these desirable
qualities to a remarkable degree. 1t is
mild laxative that moves the bowels
comfortably, the drastic bowel drenching
and paralizing effect of strong cathartics
being noticeably absent. 1t not only
empties the bowels comfortably, but it
regulates the bile-the liquid which
moistens the inner lining of the bowels
and makes it possible for the waste
products of the body to pass through,
and finally, it relieves those conditions
produced by imperfect digestion which
fills the stomach and bowels with gas
aud fermenting matter. Prickly Ash
Bitters IS i'll short a handy household
medicine and should be kept in every
home. There are constantly occurring
in every family little ailments which are
easily checked if given attention but
which prove serious if neglected and it
is in correcting these troubles that

cITYs CARE or CHILDREN.
How Chicago Looks After Truants and
the Difficulties of the
Task.

Curiously enough, there are not so
many cases of truancy among girls as
among boys. Whether this is because
they are easier to govern, or because
parents understand their girls better
than they do their boys. is hard to de-
termine, but the fact remains, says the
Reader Magazine, that statistics show
that last year, out of 1 ,71S commitments
for delinquencl.sonly 231 were girls. OF
the total number. S24 boys and 72 girls
we're of American parentage. the rest
we're of foreign parentage, and repre-
sented 27 countries. Irish, German,
Polish, Jewish and Bohemian children
led in the delinquencies. From these
statistics something Of the difficulties
that lie in the way of the laws enforce
ment may be judged. New York is the
only other city whose children, in the
mass, are approximately like those Of
Chicago. Yet thetwo ocannot be compared
NewYork has grown blase; Chicago Is
still in a formative stage. Perhaps the
average of intelligence is higher in the
eastern city because immigration, as
rule. pushes farther toward the interior
New York is a tarrying place. Chicago
Is a dumping ground for all the dregs
Of humanity Opinions are as DIVERSE
fed as nationalities. There is a mighty
pathos in this effort on the part Of Chi
cago to take care Of her children.
Scarcely is it to be considered in its
physical sense, but in an ethical. spir-
itual sense. It is the planting of ideals
where none have been. To do that. con-
ditions must be faced on the level. The
patronage Of charity can never accom-
plish 1t. Systematization under the law
is the oniy way to straighten out the
devious roads and bring about har-
mony between discordant beliefs.

USE OF DRIED BANANAS.
They Are Nutritious and VIII Make
an Ideal Ration for Soldiers
and Travellers.

Ripe peeled bananas only weigh about
IS per cent of the full lunches, while
the dried product, retaining all its flavor
and nutrition, only weighs approximate
ly one-ninth as much as the lunches,
and has nearly the same reduction in
space. writes S. E. Worrell. in Scientific
American. These features alone will
save large amount in the cost OF trans
portation and cold storage Of the fresh
fruit 1t is impossible to grind dried
bananas into flour, as they are about as
tough as evaporated apples, but they
may be prepared in two styles; either 20
press them into barrels or boxes, just as
they leave the drier, or chop them up
fine with a large sausage meat cutter
and pack them in attractive one-pound
paper packages. In the latter shape they
will make an excellent breakfast food,
and can be used for cakes, puddings, ice
creams and numerous other purposes.
Also, if heavily compressed in a small
space. they will make an ideal ration tor
soldiers or travellers on long inland
tours. Unquestionably bananas embody
more nutritious matter than any other
fruit. not excepting dates, which, while
they are rich in sugar, contain little
starch or gluten, and also have large
seeds. II is said that an Arab can cross
a desert on a pocketful of dried dates lot
food. We must take this statement with
considerable allowance. or else believe
their barren lands are very small or
their pockets are Of unusual dimensions.
