Field Day at kurn Hattin Home In

ration from the expansive view from the
upper balcony of the main building, lat
er gathering in the assembly room OF
Dickinson school building to listen to
an interesting program.
Hon. w. j. Van Patten, president of
the Homes, extended a greeting. Among
other pleasant things he announced
that one of the most important features
of the day would be the opening of the
ground for new cottage. This new
cottage has been made possible largely
through the generosity of Mrs. j. O.
Ainsworth of Williamstown, VT.
The boys of Kurn Hattin sang a pa
triotic song Rev. G.. f. Chaplin led in
prayer. The boys recited in unison the
oath Psalm. James Patterson recited
"Gradatim" and Kenneth Birch II got
to go to school," The Warner Home
choir sang Roland Merchant recited,
when Washington was a Boy" follow
ed by Harley Valley, who told about the
Pantry Ghosts"

Mr.. Van Patten introduced the nrst
speaker. George w. Coleman of Boston,
recently elected to the board of trustees
He spoke in an interesting way on
"The Men of Tomorrow" With apt IL
Illustrations he impressed upon the boys
the value of faith and caution as assets
in their lives.
The second speaker was H. B. Wat
son of Concord. n. H., for IA years prin-
cipal of the boys high school at Good
VIII Farms. Maine, and now state sec
rotary of the New Hampshire Y. NJ. c.
A. Mr. Watsons address presented in
an earnest way "Three Great Facts
About Boys" He said that there was
as much difference between work for
boys and boys work as there is between
bath sponge and a sponge bath.
At the close of these exercises, the
guests, preceded by the boys, wended
their way to the site of the new cottage.
Mr.. Van Patten said a few words about
a new cottage and Rev. G.. II. DeBe-
voise offered prayer Ten of the small
boys assisted by Mr.. Van Patten lifted
each a shovelful of earth. The assem-
bled friends sang the long meter dox-
the ground for the Ainsworth cottage
formally opened
The exercises closed with an excellent
scout exhibit by the Warner Home
boys, several athletic contests among
the Kurn Hattin boys. and ball game
between the boys of the two homes.

SCoFFERS
Often Make the Staunchest Converts.

The man who SCOTS at an idea or
doctrine which he does not fully IN
derstand has at least the courage to
show where be stands.
The gospel of Health has many con-
verts who formerly laughed at the
idea that coffee and tea, for example,
ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into
the matter seriously, often at the sug-
gestion of a friend, such persons
have found that Postum and a friends
advice have been their salvation.
my sister was employed in an east
ern city where she had to do calculat~
ing" writes an Okla. girl. "She suf-
fered with headache Intil she was al
most untitled for duty.
"Her landlady persuaded her to quit
coffee and use Postum and in few
days she was entirely free from head
ache" (Tea is just as injurious as
coffee because it contains caffeine, the
same drug found in coffee.) "She told
her employer about it. and on trying
it. he had the same experience.
"My father and have both suffered
much from nervous headache since 1

idea advanced by my sister, that cof-
fee was the cause of our trouble.
However, we finally quit coffee and

TRAIN CRASH; Is DEAD
CINCINNATI LIMITED COLLlDES
WITH FREIGHT AT IRVlNGToN.
Sixteen Badly njured-Passenger
Travelling at Speed of 20 Miles an
Hours, Runs Into Switch.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 15.-Accord-
ing to the inspectors for the Indiana
railway commission, the disastrous
wreck on the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton railway at Irvington, a suburb,
in which Is persons lost their lives
and 16 others were seriously injured
on Wednesday, was the result of the
company's failure to install a block
system as it had been ordered to do
by the commission some months ago.
Had this order been obeyed, the
commission says, the wreck could not
have occurred. The wreck was caused
by the failure of the head brakeman
to close the switch to siding on
which a heavy freight train had been
run to let the rapidly running passen-
ger train, which was more than an
hour late, pass. Carl Gross, the head
brakeman, has assumed blame for the
disaster. He has not been arrested
but is under police guard at a hos
pital, where he lies with a broken
leg

from Cincinnati to Chicago, and was
running more than an hour late. The

and at the time of the head-on COLI
sion with the heavy freight train on
the siding was running more than 40
miles an hour.

The first arrival IN New York of
specimens of the tsetse fly OF the
Congo was noted the other day. The
flies we're dead and preserved in a
bottle of alcohol in the possession of
A. H. Hale, who was a passenger on
the steamship Finland. They will be
available for examination by medical
scientists who desire to study them
at close range. The tsetse fly is the
carrier of the sleeping sickness.
which is said to have depopulated
considerable districts in the heart of
Africa. It is a biting fly. Recent
students of the stable fly, which is
under suspicion in this country, have
said that 1t more nearly resembles
the tsetse fly than any other Ameri-
can representative of the fly family
The specimens which Mr.. Hale has
brought into the country will enable
comparisons to put this opinion to the
test.
