DIETARY DIcTA.

Dinner should be of a lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart of wheat contains more nu-
triment than a bushel of cucumbers.
There is a happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
TWO pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as 10 pounds of
turnips.
Z, Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have the preference in
warm weather.
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season of the
year in which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for a~ssimilating
= hearty meal.

INSURANCE CHANGED
United Workmen Will Issue
Certificate for $500.
MARSHF|ELD WOMAN IS Chief
Committee From Grand Lodge Attends
Morning Session of the De-
gree Of Honor.

After October of this year, certiii
Gates of insurance will be issued by
the Ancient Order of United Work
men for $500, as the result Of de-
cision reached Wednesday morning
at the session of the grand lodge which
is being held in Portland. Heretofore
certificates W ere not issued for sums
less than $1,000. The certificates to
be issued to the new members after
that date will be only according to the
specification of the level rate plan
that was agreed upon at the special
session last year. The action, how
ever, will not affect old policies now
in force.
The departure of the insurance de-
partment of the order in lowering the
amounts of the policies was incorpor-
ated in law that was adopted by the
grand lodge.
With reference to the official paper
of the order the matter was referred
to the trustees with instructions to re-
new the contract with the publisher
at the Same rate that has prevailed.
Another feature of the session was the
comforting of the degree of Past
Grand Master upon d. David Walk
or of Portland.
The election of officers of the De-
gree of Honor, which was to have
been special order at Wednesday
morning Is session was postponed till
late in the afternoon. Mrs. Hattie
E. McOormic of Mars hfleld, grand
lady of honor, was slated to be pro-
NOTED to the position of grand chief
of honor, according to the custom of
the order.
AT the morning session, Supreme
Master William Narvis of, Iowa and
Past Grand Masters Werlein, Durham
and Smith of the grand lodge of the A.
o. u. w. were introduced aud ad-
dressed the women. The supreme
master made an eloquent and com
plimentary speech in appreciation of
the high standard of work being done
by the Dergee of Honor of Oregon and
throughout the superior jurisdiction.
Response was made by Past Grand
Chiet OF Honor Margaret Herrin, who
said she had been member for ten
years and her faith in the order has
never faltered.
"Whoever expresses thought, " she
said, "that relieves distress or makes
others happier or better has done a
mighty deed. When John Upchurch
expressed the thought of fraternal pro-
lection he planted seed from which
sprung not feeble plant, but many
forest giants which have spread their
shades over the whole world. Not
withstanding the troubled waters, the
great ship of our fraternity is passing
through the order cannot fail, for
it was born Of God-given inspiration
to render help to a fellow being in
sickness, sorrow and distress. !"

Surprised peopIe.-Matt. 7. 22, 23.

Surprised People.-Matt. 7. %, 23.
In nearly all the Scripture which
speaks of the conditions and exper-
fences of life beyond the grave there
is reference to the surprise, and even
amazement, which will fill mems
minds when they discover just what
the facts of the new life are. And this
surprise will not come from the
strangeness of the new experiences.
1t will grow out of the fact that,
after all, eternal destlnies have really
been fixed by earthly deeds. The be-
liefs and conduct of to-day, to which
we pay so little heed, are full of
meaning for the infinite tomorrow.
We do not live with this in mind.
The righteous, in the parable of the
last judgment, were plainly astonish-
ed that what seemed to them insig-
nificant things, with nothing about
them to show that they were to have
eernal meaning, had won for them the
blessing of the judge. And those on
the left hand of the judgment throne
were equally amazed. When did
these things happen?" Is the incredu-
lous question of either class. They
had no memory of these events, which
the Judge declared had been so big
with eternal meaning. The right
eous did not think their unselfish
ministry was anything important; the
unrighteous could not see that their
self-centered lives on earth had made
them blind to the presence of the
Christ.
What does this mean? Are we all
wrong In the method Of our prepara-
tion for the future? Is faith of no
effect, and has our trust in the mercy
and love of God been unavaillng? Will
judgment depend on deeds, rather
than ON the attitude Of the soul to
God?
Yes, and no. At the beginning OF
all real service TO man there Is faith
In God. Through all living there
must be constant trust and constant
dependence on God. But these are
not substitutes for unselflshness,
they are the means by which we reach
It, If we do not attain the unselfish
life, either our faith has been a mere
form or we have not understood its
meaning
The sure way to provide for heav-
en- is to live the heavenly life now.
We shall still be surprised that such
amazing gains come from such simple
conduct, for we shall see in heavens
rewards more Of the grace of God
than Of our own deservlngs.

Topic--John Eliot, and Missions

A missionary is not only "man

makes other missionaries, who will
take his place.
No life without hardness is mis-
sionary life; If it could be, there
would be no need of missionary lives

zone thing" includes all kinds Of
hard work.
There is only. one pathway to a
throne" that Is permanent, and that
is labor for the kingdom of God.
Outline OF Eliot's Life.
John Eliot, the Apostle to the In
dians, was born in England in 1904.
After study In Cambridge University
he became assistant of the famous
Rev. Thomas Hooker In his school,
and was there converted.
He decided at once upon the min
istry, and for freedom of conscience
came to America, becoming pastor Of
the church at Roxbury, near Boston.
He held this post for sixty years.
He grew interested in the Indians,
and after long and patient study he
mastered their very difficult lam
guage. He published a grammar OF

pains, through faith, will do any
thing"
Eliot preached his first sermon to

noble chief, Waban.
So many Indians were soon con-
built, named Nonantum Eliot intro
duced husbandry and the mechanic
arts.
Tall, of a powerful frame Eliot
went far and wide preaching the gos-
pei, fearlessly confronting hostile
chiefs and infuriated Indian priests,
reaching out to the borders of New
Hampshire and Rhode Island.
His work was aided by Parliament
and approved by Cromwell A So
ciety TOR the Propagation of the
Gospel in New England" was found
ed in England.
In 1868 Eliot completed his great
work, the translation of the entire
Bible into the Indian language, which
was followed by other books,-Bax-
ter's Practice of Piety" the Psalms
in metre, and 4 primer of logic.
Twelve towns of Christian Indians
were established. In King Philips
war the work was greatly impeded,
both whites and pagan Indians con-
ceiving a dislike of the Christian In
dians. Eliot himself being reproach-
ed and contemned. But on the COM
ing of peace the work was gradually
restored.
Eliot died, May 20, 1890, at the age
of eighty-six, toiling for the Indians
to the end His last words were,
Welcome! Joy!"

NEW YORK A CITY OF ISLANDS
me of Them Mere Dots, Others as Big as
Separate cities.

No large city of the world has so
many islands within its municipal
boundaries as New York, says the Sun,
of that city. Some of these islands are
mere dots. Others are large enough
to have almost the dimensions of cities.
Governors Island, with an area OF
seventy acres, is the property OF the
Federal Government, and is assessed
at $5,60O,000 by the city, which Is $780,
600 an acre, and, as land values so
within New York, that figure is low.
Blackwell Island, which covers l2l
acres, is valued at $40, 100000, which is
at the rate of nearly $4,000 an acre
Wards Island is valued at $9,000,0Oo
and Randall's at $5,000.O00. North
Brother Island is valued at $22O,OOO
Rlker's Island at S537,000 and Harts
Island at $S50oo0.
The most important of the islands in
cluded within the boundaries OF the
Greater New York Is, of course, Man
haitian Island, the value OF which, Is
practically incalculable. 1t Is at least
s., ,OOO, 900, 900; how much more is con
jectural.
The Borough OF Brooklyn includes
Coney Island. The whole of the Bor'
ough of Richmond Is an island, an ISL
and valued by the city for tax purposes
at about $50,OOO 900. The area Of Sta
ten Island is $4,000 acres, which Is al
most three times the size OF Manhattan

VAST SPREAD OF TELEPHONES
Increased In United States In Two Year
Over 1,OOO,OCO.


Over n million more telephones were
In use in the United States at the be-
ginning of 1905 than two years before
according to report just issued by the
Census Office. In round numbers there
were 2,315,000 in the country at the end
of 1902 and 100000 at the beginning
of 1905. That this country is far
ahead of Europe is told by figures
showing Europe's entire equipment
January /, 1905, to have been less than
100000, less than half the number in
the United States.
There were over 5000, 900, 900 phone
calls in 1902, of which nearly 121 900,
900 were ''long distance" Ohio led In
the number Of messages, although there
were more ''long-distance" messages
over Pennsylvania telephones than In
any other State. San Francisco, with
telephone for each nine persons, was
the best equipped city.
The report speaks of the effect OF
the telephone in reducing or checking
the amount of telegraph business. 1t
says the rates Of the two systems for
medium distances do not differ great
ly, and for very long distances they are
overwhelmingly in favor of the tele'
graph, If the message be taken as a
unit. But, II the number of words ex
changed be taken into account, as well
as the time required for getting into
communication, the telegraph is at a
disadvantage -
