ihcation of the people generally.
The entire town has been ditched
and drained thoroughly. We believe
within five years We shall have
town second to none in the State.
When over $4,000 has been spent on
our town upon the first years i'm
provement you will note quite a
change. The general health of the
community is good; our town is
thoroughly dlsinfected every week,
and we have good sanitary ordi-
nanres which are fully enforced.
Our population has increased three
fold within two years and prospects
indicate proportionate increase for
the next two years. Moreover we
hope to see a court house and jai!

Crops in this section are still
thriving. | believe in spite Of the

For Halloween.

From the voiuminous correspondence
which has poured into the office re-
garding Halloween" it would seem
that every reader, old and young, rich
or poor. intended to celebrate on this
most fascinating festival day. Madame
Merri sincerely hopes that there has
been something in the departments to
suit the needs of all.
Here is a very simple method OF de-
termining ones future partner in life
1t is called the yarn" test:
At the stroke of midnight the girls
must all go upstairs, the men remain
ing in the hall below. Then each maid
in turn drops ball of light yarn over
the banisters. OF course, she must
hold tightly to one end of the yarn and
remain unseen when she throws IL
down.
The men scramble for the ball, and
the one who gets it, when the yarn Is
drawn taut by the girl above. must re-
ply by giving his true name when the
unseen holder says who holds?"
If he recognizes her voice, so much
in their favor; If the girl drops the end
she holds, she will remain unmarried;
If the yarn breaks she will not marry
any of the men present on this occa-
sion.
This test is always sure to provide
happy ending to the party. and it is
also a means of pairing the guests for
refreshments or for any game where It
is necessary to choose partners.

"DR0WNING" AS A LIVING.

A remarkable association of youth
full professional drowners and life
saving heroes has been discovered by
the Paris police. The number of boys
who have fallen into the river and
been rescued by their companions has
grown to such an extent in the st.
Louis district that the local magis-
trate ordered that the boys on the
embankment should be watched. AS
a result 13-year-old Louis Berbaud was
seen to let himself drop cautiously in
to the water, and the next instant two
of his comrades sprang heroically aft
er him and brough him to land. Ber-
baud played his part to perfection,
and, feigning illness. was transported
TO the salvage station. One of his
gallant rescuers remained with him,
while the other FASTENED away as il
was afterwards ascertained, to give
the news to the newspapers in order
10 obtain a reward. Berbaud and his
friends afterwards made a full con-
fession. Their association had a
number Of members. they said, but
they refused to give the names. They
had found the profession a paying, one
as the heroes were nearly always
recompensed. and they always loyalty
shared their profits

public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation I have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there Is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used In all cases of sick
ness and convalesoence.

Nuts. To persons In health there Is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
