Electricity and Grapes.

There is no denying the enterprise
Of the persevering Dutchman. One
grower at least has sought to improve
his output by the aid Of electricity.
In the wineries can be seen 1.-Two
wires, which run along the interior OF
the building. These do not come into
contact with either the vine or the
soil, but their presence is believed to
be beneficial. Experiments we're made
with two adjoining beds Of spinach. In
the one case. where the electrical eff
feet had been tried, the vegetable was
ready for marketing at the same time
that the other had barely commenced
to sprout from the ground. This latest
development in fruit and vegetable
culture is as yet in its infancy. What
will be the outcome Of the ingenious
idea it is impossible to foretell.-Dun-
dee Advertiser.

C0UGHED ALL NIGHT
Till This Recipe Was Tried. Cure
FolIowed In 5 Hours.


A prominent medical man, who sut-
fered with q severe cough and cold
on the lungs, often being kept awake
all night, and weakened by loss OF
sleep, finally discovered a simple
formula which will cure any cough In
FIVE hours by the clock. 1t Is a lax
alive tonic cough syrup which can
be made at home by anyone and the
formula is here given for the benefit
of those who pass sleepless nights In
painful paroxysms. Those who have
tried 1t say 1t is magical and beats
any high-priced, slow-acting cough
medicine ever sold.
Mix in a bottle one-half ounce fluid
wild cherry bark, one ounce compound
essence cardiol and three ounces
syrup white pine compound. Take
twenty drops every half hour for four
hours. Then take one-half to one tea
spoonful three or four times a day.
Give children less according to age.
This will tone up and rid the system
Of deep-seated coughs every time.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly In
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until It very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally I got Cuticura Soap, CUT
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. l
used them in the morning and that
evening, before put my boy to bed,
I used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be so much less. used two boxes OF
Cuticura Ointment, the same Of the

no middle ground to true friendship
there must be a soul union that Is
forever working for the betterment of
your BROTHER.
The covenant OF truth is considered
sacred by all brothers and they will
protect the secrets of each other as It
is only through secrets that any sue
cess may be obtained. Brotherly love
means that all are brothers and the
relations one to another should ,be
considered as sacred as the relations
between the brothers of one family.
Covenanted brotherly love binds us
closer together and established diff
ferent relationship toward each other
than towards the world on the out
side and it is not only with those
whom we know, but 1t is worldwide
brotherhood whereby we may be
known and cared for though far from
relatives or those with whom you are
acquainted. The lodge needs the
church for the help it may give in the
spiritual welfare of the members and
the church needs the lodges for the
material welfare of the sick and needy
who cannot be taken care of through
the medium Of the church, as the
church is unprotected from impostors
and the lodge has it's means of know
ing whom it is helping.
He closed by saying that lodges
are stepping stones to higher and
better life and that the world is bet
ter for the work done through them

At Mulberry Street Methodist
Protestant Church
An Eloquent Discourse Given
BY The Pastor
Relative To Secret Societies
And The Church

A large number of the members of
the various Odd Fellow lodges as
sembled in a union memorial service
at the Methodist Protestant chcurch
Sunday morning where they listened
to memorial address by the Rev.
John T. Black.
After the opening exercises the pas
tor read scripture lesson from parts
of the Goth chapter of 1st Samuel
and the 10th chapter of st. Luke, des-
cribing the covenant between Jona-
than and David and the story of the
Good Samaritan.
After the opening prayer, Rev. Mr..
Black took for his text Cor. 3-11 and
Gen. 2-23, Matthew chapter, verse.
He said in part:
All societies, whether spiritual or
social, must have certain principles
upon which they build and all must
have material side and the slection
of the material for the foundation Of
any society should be selected with
much care as upon this depends the
character of the order. Good moral
character makes foundation that will
continue to the grave and the world
cannot help but see the good works
thereof.
Any order that is founded upon
good morals helps each member, man
to man, throughout life to the grave,
treasures the memory of the departed
brothers, but the only true foundation
is not one that only helps as man to
man, but should also embody the prin-
ciples that will help man into eter-
nifty. So that there will be no total
severing of brotherly love, but all may
live in hopes of reunion hereafter
All societies founded upon moral eth
les are bound together by covenant
into which all its members must en-
ter, as it is only through the faithful
observance of this covenant that we
will fill our true obligation to our
friends and brothers.
This thought was brought out very
prominently by various illustrations
taken from covenants between charac-
ters in the Bible. While at times
there may be millions who do not live
up to parts of their covenants, yet
that does not signify that the princi-
pies are wrong, but only that some
men are moral weaklings.
If we desire eternal good for our fell
lowmen, our covenant should not on
ly be made as man to man, but should
also be made with God, for the eternal
help toward brotherly affection and
sympathy.
Our covenant means continued ac-
tivity and only those morals that are
tried by fire will stand the test, as
it is through activity that character
will be made, for knowing without
doing helps no one, and as there is

pIoyed at the c. G. G. Cooper works had
been appointed director of public SER
vice of the city of Mt. Vernon.
Back of the whole affair there is
quite an interesting story. Mayor
Mitchell stated to the Banner Monday
morning that Mr.. Bird had rendered
his resignation. The former director
of public service was sought by Ban
ner representative at once. Mr.. Bird
was finally located at the home of his
son-in-law, Mr.. P. B. Chase at Sparta.
Over the telephone Mr.. Bird told his
side of the story. He stated that on
last Saturday he had discharged
Street Commissioner Wallace Severns
from his office for reasons which Mr..
Bird considered were ample for dis
missal. Early Monday morning, with
out any other notice, Mr.. Bird was in

fully conducted the affairs of his Of
fee since last January, when he took
up the duties as director of service
and that the dismissal of MIR. Severns
was fully justified.
Over the telephone Mr.. Bird gave
full statement of the dismissal OF
the street superintendent to the Ban
ner as follows: "For the past two OF
three months the services of Mr.. Sew

MUSTARD PLASTER CURE
New York Press)

Mustard as promoter of morals
was a new role" said the woman.
Yesterday l heard my Bohemian
neighbor say to her eleven-year-old
daughter:
eff you do that again I'll put
mustard plaster on you
''The child didn't do it again. When
asked why, the mother told me that
in her country disobedient children
are punished by applying a mustard
plaster. 1t is more efficacious than
whipping, scolding or moral 'suasion.
The plaster isn't left on long enough
to blister badly, but even without
blister a mustard plaster is correc-
tive measure that all little Bohemians
try to avoid, even at the expense of
good behavior"

Suggested Fol, The Formation
Of Association
To Provide A Play Ground
For The Children
Most Successfully Carried
Out In Cities

Editor The Daily Banner
In pursuance of what was in your
worthy columns last week, written by
our good citizen, ]. j. Fultz, 1 beg to
say, with the hope that it may be of
interest and help, to a large number
derful what is being accomplished in
these days along the line of play and
recreation for both children and
adults.
AS many of your readers may know
there is National play ground asso-
citation, which is giving extensive, and
scientific attention to this very SUBJ
ject. They form in communities
wherever possible, local association,
which has charge of the play and rec
reative life of the entire community.
They seek out, just as Mr.. Fultz has
indicated, vacant lots, parks, school
grounds, and other convenient places
where young and old can freely go
| for rest and fresh air. There are now
over two hundred such organizations
throughout the country, doing mag
nificent work along the line of afford
ing boys and girls an opportunity to
give vent to their child nature in a
proper manner and under good envir-
onment. 1t seems to me that there
should be such an Association formed
in Mount Vernon, at the present time,
because it will not be many years be-
fore it will be very difficult to get
hold of suitable property for this pur-
pose.
One of the most interesting and
most beneficial things that has been
done by any organization, is the move
of Trinity Church of New York City.
They have opened both their down
town and up town ceemteries for rest
and recreation In the heart of lower
Broadway this old spot is proving to
be a renewer of strength to many
thousands of YEARLY travellers. Sin
