N,Sunday was essentially Methodist
day in Athena, the occasion being tie
dedicatory exercises and ceremonies
at the new Methodist Episcopal church, !,
From the time the big doors swung
open at 8 o'clock a. M, when the infor-
NAL greetings took place to 10 p. M,
when each member of the building com
mittee took alternative turns at ringing
the bell, which proclaimed that the
beautiful edifice had been dedicated,
the commodious auditorium and gallery
was taxed to its utmost capacity at every
service.
The auditorium was profusely deco
rated with potted plants and cut flowers
in pleasing and effective arrangement.
The house plants came from Athena
homes and the cut flowers from Califor-
MIA friends. The ushers satisfactorily
handled the large crowds and nothing
transpired to mar the big rally

Will Reclaim Palouse Land.

F. H. Newell, chief Of the reclama-
tion service, has advised Representative
Jones that in his opinion the Palouse
project which contemplates the irriga-
tion of 100000 acres of land near Pasco,
is the most promising irrigation scheme
in Washington, and it is the intention of
the department to concentrate the in.
vestigation to this locality during the
summer. If a subsequent investigation
shows this project to be as satisfactory
as contemplated, the secretary of the
interior will set aside sufficient money
from the reclamation fund to construct
the reservoir and canals. 1t is estima
ted it will cost $25 per acre to irrigatt
the Palouse tract.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children Be-
cause They Are Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true of other articles of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an ustration-anyone, no matter
and digest nice hot cup of Postum
coffee with a spoonful or two of Grape
Nuts poured in, and such combina-
ton contains nourishment to carry one
number of hours, for almost every
particle of it will be digested and
taken up by the system and be made
use of.
A lady writes from the land of the
Magnolia and the mocking bird way
down in Alabama and says: 81 was
led to drink Postum because coffee
gave me sour stomach and made me
nervous. Again Postum was recon-
mended by two well known physicians
for my children, and l feel especially
grateful for the benefit derived.
Milk does not agree with either
child, SO to the eldest, aged four and
one-half years, I give Postum with
plenty of sweet cream. 1t agrees with
her splendidly, regulating her bowels
perfectly, although she is of consti-
pated habit.
For the youngest, aged two and one
half years, use one half Postum and
one-half skinned milk. l have not
given any medicine since the children
began using Postum, and they enjoy
every drop of it.

tum to her baby lately weaned, with
splendid results. The little fellow. is

Postum agrees perfectly with chill

invigorating beverage in place of
coffee. Literally thousands of Amer

Typical Story of the East Told by
Mrs. Gardner.
Mrs. John Lyon Gardner of Boston
exhibited some beautiful asters at the
recent show Of the Massachusetts, Hor,
acultural society. ~
= One evening some one narrated to
Mrs. Gardner a humorous story of an
exhibitor who had tried to bride the
Judges Of flower show into giving
aim all the first, prizes. She com
mented on the story thus:
"The man had probably heard Of
the cadi of Bagdad. This cadi had
been in his youth fisherman, and.
to keep himself in mind Of his humble
origin. there was always spread upon
his dinner table huge fishing net.
People admired the cadis for this
exhibition of humility. He was rich,
and his house was sumptuous. But,
amid all that elegance the net, the
sign of the mans lowly birth, was al
ways prominently displayed.
The story of the net spread
through the city, and finally it reach
. ed the ears of the caliph. He, in due
time, sent for the cadi. took him into
his favor and made him the grand
vizier.
Thus said Haroun al Raschid
we reward humility
From the day of the appointment
the grand vizier ceased to exhibit his
fishing net. 1t disappeared and it was
never spoken of.
Once though, visitor, a man Of
considerable impudence, said to the
vizier:
Why is it, my lord. that your net
Is no longer spread upon your table,?
1.-THE vizier smiled and quietly re
piled:
at has caught the fish,"

1t is not so much what you pay for,

that needs your attention in the selec-

twentieth century has been just as

the styles of caskets are quite differ
ent from what they were fifty years
ago and changing every day.
This is especially true in Metallic
Caskets, the old style heavy cast iron
goods having given away to the more
up-to-date copper Innings which are
neatly fitted into the best grades Of
vanished or cloth covered work.
One of the latest designs as recently

tains all the requisite outlines of the
