Grand Rapids resorted to straight
foot ball and Natwick went over for
the second touch down after about
seven minutes of play. Barrett kicked

The Apples


Apples are among the heaEhiest of
fruits, baked or stewed- apples are
a real useful medicine in many cases,
as they are very easily digested APP
pies are a well recognized laxative
and persons who exercise consider
ably and eat apples plentifully new
er need take liver pills, watch are
not as good for their purpose as raw
apples or even baked apples. The
apple is such a common fruit that
very few persons are familiar with
its remarkable effacious medicinal
purposes. @i'h3lsl
Everybody ought to know that the
very best thing he can do is to eat
apples just before retiring for the
night. Persons uninitiated in the
mysteries of the fruit are liable to
throw up their hands in horror at the
visions of dyspepsia, which such a
may summon up, but no
harm can come even to. a delicate sy-
stem by the eating of ripe and juicy
apples before going to bed. The APP
pie is excellent brain food, because it
has more phosphoric ACID in easily
disested shape than any other fruit.
1t excites the liver, promotes sound
and healthy sleep, and thoroughly dis
lnfects the mouth. That is, not all,
the apple prevents indigestion and
throat disease. Apples are asserted
by DR.. Bailey to be a good alcoholic
drink cure if eaten constantly, two
or three a day. -

MOTHER is DESERTED,
SAYS LETTER TO Editor

The Marshfield News has received
the following letter regarding a hap
pening in the western part Of the
county, which if true should put the
son to shame.
"a few days ago an old lady who
is nearly eighty-seVen years of age,
a person of refined tastes and hab-
its, was taken to Grand Rapids Z to
spend the remainder of her lifes in
the home provided by the public for
the otherwise homeless, because her
son, who has and always has had a
comfortable home, refuses to share
it with his mother or to provide
home for her elsewhere and has been
cunning enough to place himself Ebe-
yond the reach of the law which
would compel him to do so, by leav-
ing the state. We say shame on the
man(?) who can do such thing,
and we have for him feeling which
prompts US to say with decided en-
phasis-may his son do so to him,
and more"

NJ. T. RECEPTION
A Biz SUCCESS

On Friday evening, October 6, the
parIors of the M. E. church witness
ed one of the most enjoyable recep-
tons in it's history; the occasion be-
ing the return of the Rev. F. A.
Pease to his pastorate here for ano-
Their year Not only were the Metho-
dists out in large numbers, but there
was a goodly representation from the
teachers of the city and the friends
of the pastor and his family.
After all had shaken hands with the
reception committee, and had become
acquainted with any persons they did
not happen to know, the Master of
Ceremonies, w. J. Fisher, welcomed
Rev. Pease and family back to his
of Pease for the past year to such
an extent that we were oYerjoyed to
continue on with the same spiritual
prOvender for years to come. Rev.
Milne spoke in behalf of the other
churches and city at large. He said
we are prone to reserve our bouquets
until after people are dead, but he
believed in presenting them to the
living when person had made
good, as had Brother Pease. He
then presented four very handsome
tributes, and all present breathed an
Amen knowing the recipient was
worthy of the same Prof. NJ. H.
Jackson was next on the program,
and voiced a welcome return of Rev
Pease and family in behalf of tho
teachers and youth of the city. Rev.
Pease was then called on to tell what
he thought, and he told it in his u
sual terse pleasing way. OF course
he was pleased to return to such q
beautiful city, and to SO appreciatiVe
people. Many of those present knew
Rev. Pease was wanted elsewhere
this year at far larger salary, and
that he surely must have a very warm
place in his heart for the people of
Grand Rapids, to let such a chance
go by.
Miss Grace Gogins sang, There!
Little Girl, Don't Cry" which was
highly appreciated and we'll rendered
The selection was followed by VIC
lin solo by Prof. Won Geltch of the
Grand Rapids High school, accom-
panied by Mrs. J. H. Linderman, on
the piano So much was the profess
sor's playing appreciated that it took
three selections before he was allow
ed to take his seat. Prof. Won Gelt-

marked ability in handling the king

next in order, after which social
half hour was spent before the GROVE
began to dispense.
The committees who had things II
charge are all to be congratulated
Special praise is due the decorating
committee. The church parlors neve
looked better The decorating was
unique and caused much favorable co
ment.
Thus ended our second reception
for Rev. Pease and family A yeal
ago he informed US he expected t.
stay ten years. This year he said ht
only had nine years left. May eacf
of his annual receptions mark a clos

history of the Methodist church o

has a pastor been more thorough.
