 Children's day, as previously ar ranged, was nicely observed at church here, last Sunday morning. The child ren came into church together in pro- cession with Rev J. E. Herman at the head of the line and filled the pulpit platform and for an hour fine pro- gram of songs and recital was heard, which would do credit to any larger auditorium. Mrs Hosford presided at the organ and piano and thus lead the children through the various exercises in proper order.
 The condition of Charles Goodhue King has improved since last writing. He has been able to satisfactorily ad- just all damages done by his auto collision of last week with MT Rydell and Mir Bristol.

SECRET OF LONG LIFE.

We occasionally meet woman
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom OF youth We wonder how it
mas come about-what her secret is.
Here are a few of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She kept her nerves well in hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art OF saying
pleasant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discourag-
ed
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and nov that old age has
come to her and there is a halo Of
white hair about her head she is low

cret of long life and happy one

this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch

Our claim that it is a "Food for

upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use)
contain Natures brain and nerve

of Potash, and the way we prepare
