CHURCH IN A WINDMILL.
Cleared of Rats It Does Very Well at a
Rent of IS Cents a Year.

Twelve years ago, when the villagers
living off the borders of Reigate heath,
Surrey, England, had no place of wor-
ship nearer than the parish church, a
service was held in a schoolroom close
by and was so we'll attended that the
authorities looked around for a suitable
permanent building.
The erection of a church was out of
the question, but there stood on the
heath the remains of an old mill, a pic
turesque feature in a beautiful bit Of
landscape. Inspection showed that once
the rats were got rid of a comparatively
small outlay would furnish and render
the mill fit for public worship and soon
it was opened as the chapel of the Holy
Cross.
The interior of the chapel arouses in
terest, says the Wide World Magazine
Four buttresses, feet thick by 6 feet
in height, serve as rests for two massive
beams which cross each other in the GEN.
ter and support an upright shaft cracked
with age and strongly bound with iron
bands The buttresses make four natur-
al alcoves. The entrance door stands in
one, and Immediately opposite is the al
tar; the harmonium is placed in third,
and the bellringer sits close beside it and
rings his bell; the fourth is occupied by
the congregation. The rent of this novel
church is only % cents q year.

SIX CIGARS A DAY.
Ninety Year-Old Artist Who Still Paints
Pictures.

THE King offers you his sincerest con-
gratulations on attaining your ninetieth
birthday"
This telegram arrived at house in
the Mazda Vale district the other day,
and was handed to a rosycheeked old
man with snow-white hair, whose arm
chair was drawn before blazing fire.
He laid aside the book he was reading
and scanned the birthday greeting from
the King with happy smile. Then he
lit a cigar.
The recipient of the telegram, who
could read with ease on his ninetieth
birthday, whose memory was undimmed,
was W. P. Firth. r. A. the veteran
painter. among whose many famous
works Derby Day. is perhaps the most
famous.

Il don't want more than two meals a
day now-one in the morning and one

eat hearty breakfast, and then I can
manage nice, simple dinner at night.
In the middle of the day l enjoy good
plate of soup. In the afternoon they
bring me glass of hot milk. After that

No woman should submit to surgi-

This famous medicine for women

the United States bear willing testl-
mony to the wonderful virtue OF Lydia

It cures female ills, and creates radi-

summer will prove an exceptionally in
terestlng one from a style point of view.
AS the season advances the present
foundation is bound to encourage great
zeal OF originality-which always may
pe taken as synonym for variety Some
OF the most representative effects are
possible to everybody. Lines always
count for much, and. since the introduce
tlon OF the Directoire. have been of the
utmost Importance. But there is anoth-
ef element that is to be considered with
equal care, and that is the trimming. 1t
is not enough that a frock be embroid-
cred; the embroidery must be padded,
outlined, or picked out with buttons on
cotton or linen; with glass beads. stones,
or bullion if on any of the silks or cloths.
and this makes all the difference in the
world so tar as general appearance goes.
Heels are of the Cuban variety and
the very Frenchy type, but the latter
are only permissible on dressy slippers
for indoor wear. And appropos of the
evening shoes, many of them are as
DAINTY as the gown worn when the min
Jet was the dance of polite society.
Shoes of white satin are worked in POM
padour garlandS, Wreaths of seed pearls
ana turquoise appear on the pale blue
satin slippers, emeralds on green and
amethysts on those of mauve shadings,
White black and yellow are embroidered
IN gold and carry enormous buckles of
brilliants. All evening slippers match
exactly the gown worn with them. So
many women object to patent leather
shoes because they have an unfortunate
habit of cracking, but this misfortune
may be prevented by rubbing the shoe
during the first few weeks wear with a
little milk, olive oil or vaseline. Kid
and patent leather may be cleaned with
a little cream put on with a sponge
and polished with piece of soft fan
mel
A cretonne covered shirtwaist box
which has become soiled may be easily
cleaned. Dip a clean small scrubbing
brush in very thick suds made from
white soap and water, shake off as much
moisture as possible and then scrub the
cover. Rub until the spots disappear.
Wipe vigorously at once, until dry, with
fresh cloth. The cover will look like
new when the work is done.

Power of the Senate.

Speaker Cannon, the the recent Grid
iron club dinner in Washington, stood up
for the Senate.
YOU'D think the way the Senate is
blamed for everything" he said, that
it had supernatural powers.
"a crowd of farmers were knocking
the Senate one market day last month,
when an old fellow of only horsepower
brain hustled into their midst.
"'Well, byes,' said he, what's the SEN
ate up to now?'
"'Why, amt We heerd, Zachary? said
a young farmer, winking at the others:
addin' two extry months to the winter.
Zachary struck his forehead with his
red-mitted FIST.
DO tell!' he groaned. Gosh durn

DOG GAVE ALARM.
Animals Peculiar Actions Apprised
Mother of Small Child's Death.

Her attention attracted by the pecu-
liar actions of the family dog, Mrs.
Ralph Henderson, who resides four
miles east of Burns, Ore, followed the
animal to a neighboring creek and there
found her 2-year-old son dead by drown
ing. When the mother, who had been
busy with her homework, discovered the
absence of the child she became
alarmed, and at the same time noticed
that the pet dog was whining and trot-
ting back and forth in the direction of
the creek. Following it, she was led to
where the boy had fallen into a deep
pool and persisted.

From early childhood / suffered
with such terrible constipation that
had to use laxatfves continuously going
from one drug to another and suffering
more or less all the time.
"a prominent physician whom con-
suited told me the muscles of the diges-
tive organs were partially paralyzed
and could not perform their work with
out help of some kind, so have tried
at different times about every laxative
and cathartic known, but found no help
that was at all permanent. l had nnal-
" become discouraged and had given
my case up as hopeless when began to
use the pre-digested food, Grape-Nuts.
although 1 had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise GrapeNuts digested immed1-
ately from the first and in few days
l was convinced that this was just
what my system needed.
