A Helpful Fruit.

The apple may have been the fruit
of all our troubles, but it is also the
source of long life, at least If it's
devotees' enthusiasm is to be credit
ed.
One quite noted physician declares
that to eat three apples a day will
add years to mans life.
The apple is rich in nourishment
to the brain and nerves and should
he more persistently eaten. Those
few persons who find it indigestihle
when raw should, at least, eat cooked
apples once day.

TO LAUNDER MUSLIN DRESSES.
It is quite a problem to know just
how to do up lawn and muslin dress
es SO they will not be too stiff. The
following rule is an excellent one:
Dissolve a tablespoonful of gum
arabic in about three quarts of water
and use this liquid in place of starch
After the articles are dried, sprinkle
and iron as usual The gum arabic
will not stick to the iron and gives
the goods the stiffness and look Of
new material. Once tried you will
never use starch for delicate fabrics.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days Of

cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western

diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years Id
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the

To interest the pupils the teachers
must provide for them in a way that
will awaken their interest and make
them see that the Sunday school Is
really worth while. The prime fac
tor for accomplishing this is the right
kind of a teacher. The teacher should
take a warm interest in the welfare
of each member of the class, and the
most pleasant provision should be
made. 1t is not difficult to arouse a
class spirit and pride under such
management Of a teacher.
The Sunday school should be kept
to the front. There should be some
little inducement made to the small
er boys and girls, say like a nickel
paid to the first schOlOr in Sunday
school; some prize offered for the one
attending the most Sundays in the
season, dividing the year from Christ
mas to Easter and from Easter to
Christmas. Of course, if the teachers
are late and careless the children will
lose interest. All sorts of innocent
games, under the auspices of the Sun
day School Boys Brigade, Girls Sew
ing Circle and Young Ladies' and
Gentlemen's Reading Glass. There
are more hints by which this good
work can be carried on.
By the study of the Bible and the
cultivation of the religious lives of
the members, by instruction in truth
and its exercise in good works. such
class will be a tower of strength in
the school and in the church.
Let us sound aloud:
Welcome, welcome, little children.
To our Sabbath school so dear
Here we come to learn Of Jesus,
And we gladly greet you here"

@Coming Thro' the Rye'' at the Grand.
 As an evenings entertainment for the tired business man, Coming Thro' the Rye" with the company
 which came through wednesday night at the Grand is distinctly a success. There's no plot to worry about--you couldn't find 1t if you hunted all even l ing-but there Is plenty of music, pretty girls, and excellent costuming
 and light effects But more. its of a | good quality.
 Nowadays as rule. one sees only the tried and. true sort of rnusicaf en-
 tertainment. Last nights offering has
 been seen before. but even then it isn't so old that all the life has been taken
 out of 1t. In fact. If one takes the | life out of the chorus there wouldn't
 be anything aleft worth seeing. The
 comedy parts are not strong enough to stand without a good chorus.
 And last nights chorus was there with the goods. None of the girls we're
 beautiful, but then there wasn't one
 bad looking. either. They were ex-
 cellently drilled in their dances. they were attractively costumed, and they | put their hearts in making themselves the whole show. And they were the wh ole show. E'verytime the orchestra began playing, the audience waited for
 their appearance. and then they called them back for several encores. The part of the tailor, about whom the trouble centres-one knows that he is in trouble. for he says that he will be shot by the cowboy. and will | sh oot himself if he had to marry the Countess Something g-or-other; you
 don't know how he got in a tangle, | but you don't care--was in tho hands | of Tom Waters. Perhaps the lines | of the play are not funny; perhaps Mir. | Waters is not a good comedian. but he
 could play rings around a plano to
 ragtime tunes. and the audience made him do 1t over and over again.
 Coming Thro the Rye" was a good
 evenings entertainment, but the good | chorus made 1t so.
 The next attraction at the Grand will
 be the Wayne Comedy Company, pre-
 senting "The White Hat" at the Grand 1 tonight.

"INsURGENTs" MEET.
Couwrens1aen Would Change Rules Ol
 House


 House.
 Washington, Dec. 1e.--Another step toward amending the rules of the House was taken tonight when the various clements of the House opposed to the present code held a mass meet Ing.
 The report of the committee appoint ed at the meeting of insurgents" last week was submitted, although the committee had a most difficult time in reaching an agreement. Colonel Hepburn of Iowa. chairman of the committee, informed the gather ing that the committee had decided | that some change in the method of se- lecting committees in the House was desirable He said that the commit tee also had agreed that the rules should be changed so that one day each week would be set aside for the call of committees and that the day should be given over exclusively for that purpose.
 The report regarding the change in the method of choosing committees fin the Rouse was a compromise, the en- tire committee refusing to agree to the proposition that a steering com mittee be selected by the House to se- Iect the committees.

AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN.

Secretary Root ExpIaiRs To Senate
 Committee.
 Washington, Dec. i6-SecFetary Root voluntarily appearing before the Sem ate Committee on Foreign Relations to- day pointed out that the only obIiga- ton upon either party to the entente to the United States and Japan relat- ing to the maintenance of Chinese in- tsgrity is that they shall consult with each other before undertaking any &C., tion concerning Chinese affairs and that therefore, the agreement does not as- sume the character of a treaty. He cited precedents for the executive laying down a policy concerning foreign af- fairs.
 Democratic members of the commit tee pointed out that the only issue is whether the understanding goes to the extent of making a treaty necessary. If no action Is taken by the committee, the whole matter will remain as negotiated by the Secretary of State. The question will be discussed by the committee later.
 The Republican members of the com | mittee are united in supporting Mir. Roots position and some Democrat" members also favor non-action by the committed.
 Secretary Root also discussed the | status of the commission appointed to look after American interests in con- nectlon with the Tokio Exposition in | 1917.
