M asst Bread.

In Saxon and medieval times. even
after the Introduction of wheat and
other cereals, there can he little doubt
that acorns were regularly used by
the poorer peasants for the purposes
or making bread. and not only in sea-
sons of scarcity, but as general arti-
Gle of food. Oak trees were then chief
ly valued because of the acorns which
they produced.
In Anglo-Saxon records for the year
1116. which is described as "a very
calamitous year. the crops being spoil
ed by the heavy rains, which came on
Just before August and lasted till Can
dlemas," it is expressly mentioned as
an aggravation of the ''heavy time''
that ''mast was also so scarce this year
that none was to be heard of in all
this land or in Wales"
The days of mast bread are happily
gone forever, and even barley bread.
In common use during severe winters
not so many years ago, has now every
where given place to that of 1.-The finest
wheat fiour."-London Spectator.

eyes to feast upon if the opportunity
presents itself and the spectator has
the nerve to look. Two automobiles.
each with a girl at the wheel, come
crashing down a steep, narrow incline
to within a short ways from the
ground when a sharp upward curve of
the track sends the machine high in
the air While the leading automobile
is curving gracefully through space. the
one that was following it turns COM
plete somersault, revolving around its
companion, then landing, in front of
the other. on narrow and short
ground platform.
The cars are of different colors,
otherwise their separate flights could
not be followed by the eye. The dan
ger of the act is apparent. In fact,
death to both young women seems in
evitable when the cars leave the track
for their mid-air maneuvers. Those
who have witnessed the act say it is
four seconds of most exquisite torturf
with blessed relief when the cars
land safely that expresses itself in a
burst of applause.
This act is this seasons spell-binder
with the Barnum and Bailey greatest
show on earth. which will be seen in

In Praise of Tea.

Kienlung, the Chinese poet. was n
prolific writer, and of all his poems
his immortal Praise of Tea is most
widely remembered. Written in ey-
quisite characters. it decorates half the
old cups. plates and fans of his period
Thus II runs:
place upon a gentle fire the tripod
whose color and form tell Of far
antiquity and fill it with water Of
molten snow. Let it seethe till it
would be hot enough TO whiten fish or
to redden crab. Then pour it into
cup upon the tender leaves of 4 Sc
lected tea tree. Let it rest till the
mists which freely rise have formed
themselves into thicker clouds and
until these have gradually ceased to
weigh upon the surface and at last
float away in vapor, then deliberately
sip the delicious liquor 1t will drive
away all the causes of disquietude that
come to trouble us. You may taste
and you may feel, but never can you
express in words or song that sweet
tranquility we draw from the essence
thus prepared"

WILL TAKE PART
IN SHAM BATTLE
Co. A of This City and Co. B of Dav-
export to Give Show at the
Scheutzen Park the Fourth.

Company A has received a request
from the captain of Company b of
Davenport for the local company to
take part in a sham battle which is
being planned to take place over the
river the Fourth of July. AT the
meeting of the local soldiers last ev-
ening at the armory about IA mem
bers promised to go and it is thought
that there will be double that many
when all the members of the company
learn of the request. The affair is
to take place at the ScheutZen park
and will probably be in the afternoon
although complete details for the af-
fair have not as yet been announced.
Saturday afternoon, Sunday and yes
terday there were members of the
company working on the new rifle
range back of the Watch Tower. They
succeeded in digging the rifle pits and
the work will now have TO be sus-
pended until the targets and the other
special equipment is sent here from
Springfield. The requisition for these
has been in for some time now and
Captain Dunavin expects to receive
notice of their shipment in day or
so. Within week after their arrival
the range will be ready for use.

points near there is expected TO ar
rive here Thursday by way of the
,Hennepin canal and the visitors will
be invited to make use of the local
boat harbor and also the one across
the river. Plans are on foot TO send
number of the launches of the two
clubs to the end of the canal to ac-
company the feet to the cities and TO
extend the courtesies of the club to
the travellers. There are some of the
best motor boats in the country in this
fleet, according to the reports. one OF
them being a 900 horse power boat
and several of them having 60 horse
power. 1t will be the best motor boat
exhibition ever seen here.
The big regatta Muscatine will
continue two days and there will be
eight different races giving all the
different kinds of boats a chance and
even the slowest boat in the lot will
win a prize 1t is claimed by the local
club members that the boat of Com
modore Carson has an excellent
chance for winning the prize in the
slow speed contest. In this race a
lstoppage of the engine or any working
with the controlling devices disqual-
ifies the boat The boat making the
| sloweSt time over given course I'M
der these conditions wins the race.
Local Clubs Chances.
The Island City club also has good
chances of getting something out Of
the Glass C race for boats under 2G
feet in length as w. H Bennett, the
owner of the Red Boy will compete in
this race under the local colors.
The program of races for Friday and
Saturday is as follows:

There are a large number of Daven-
port boat owners who are planning on
attending and there are probably 10
boats TO be sent from this city. Mo
line has not as yet made known wheth-
er there will be any boats from there
go or not but it is likely that there
will be some of the owners who will
want to see the greatest collection of

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma

II is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases cure effected by, applying
Chamberlain's Liniment The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost 1t makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
of long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
II affords. Do not be discouraged un-
til you have given 1t trial. For sale

We shall not need to argue if you'll try Van Camps. c.

world would Van Camps If all the world did that.

You get a small can of Van Camps for ten cents
And that will tell you than ads tell
Perhaps you are baking your beans at home That
will tell you what mistake you making
. Perhaps you using other brands That Will
tell You the remarkable difference.
Won't you spend ten cents TO know, for all time, the
best beans that were baked?
Why do you suppose that millions now use Van
Camps? We scarcely find enough beans of our
grade, to supply them.
They once baked beans at home perhaps. They once
used other brands Why they coming, by millions,
to swell the enormous demand for Van Camps?
A single will tell you.
There are myriads of brands of beans Some of them
cost the grocer only half much Van Camps Some
makers give to grocers free in five
Iet-wth all these factors against us--Van Camps
have won by far the largest sale in the world Don't you
want to know the beans that have done that?
Some think Of beans as homey dsh-a simple dish
q dish that every housewife knows.
Please let us change that idea. Homebaked beans

Large Barn Burned.

The large barn on the farm of
Mrs. Maggie Funk, near Park
Mills, this county, tenanted by
Mr.. L. A. Ranne berger, was to-
tally destroyed by fire between
II and l O'Clock. together with all
of its contents. The loss is est
mated at 81, 900 dollars, and the
insurance is small.
The fire was not discovered by
Mr.. Rsnneberger until the roof
was about to fall in. when it was
too late to save anything. All of
the farming implements. harness,
anu about ten tons of hay were
burned. All of the live stock,
fortunately were in the fields.
The origin of the fire, which
occurred last Friday night, the
18th inst, is unknown. There is
an insurance OF 5000 on the barn,
and a small amount on its con
tents. in a company represented
by Mr.. Ernest Heltenstein.

promise well, and the wheat crop,
about to be harvested, is es-
pecially vigorous and entirely sat
isfactOry to the farmers. The
berry seems to be well formed
and the heads are unusually we'll
filed. The same conditions, Mr..
Dennis said, prevails in the
growing oats in these sections.

Praise for Company A.

Company A, M. N. g., of this
city, returned on Monday last,
the 18th inst, from Fort How
ard, after ten days of strenuous
military service. They were en-
gagged in the Coast Artillery ma
neuvers, planned for the Artillery
District of Baltimore. Company
A, handled one of the two IL
inch guns at Fort Howard. which
are among the largest used in
this country. They fire pro
jectile weighing 1000 pounds.
The firing charge at each firing
consists Of 275 pounds of smoke
less powder. The officers of
Company A, as well as the men
deserve to be cOmpllmented for
their efficiency, and Frederick
should be proud of its company,
that stands so high in merit and
gentlemanly department. Col.
Rafferty,, of the Regular United
States Service, said:
IL am very much pleased with
the zeal with which Companies
A and B, and the First Com
pany went at their work. They
worked earnestly and intelli
gently, and l am sure that their
efficiency has been much increas-
ed. Both artillery and infantry
worked we'll, and l am much
pleased with the camp"

A Chapel on a Bridge.

At st. Ives, the little, old
Huntiugdonshire town in which
Oliver Cromwell lived for several
years. there is bridge spanning
the lazily flowing Ouse, and on
this bridge is quaint building,
which at one time did duty as a
chapel. The structure has been
in existence for something like
500 years and was according to
local historians, originally en-
ployed as beacon light house.
After this it was turned into a
hostelry and eventually became
an ordinary dwelling house. Some
of the rooms in this curious
building are below the level OF
the water in the river.
