ON TIE SPUR
OF The AOMENT
BY ROY X. MOIJITON.
The. New Village Store.
Y ROY X. MOULTON

The village store has changed pile,
or so it seems to me;
It's different in stock and style from
what it used to be.
The cracker barrels vanished now,
the prunes are gone from sight,
There's nothing left around 1 vow, to
tempt your appetite.
There's no place left for us to sit, who
used to haunt that store;
Our wisdom and our native wit aren't
heard there any more.
The place is all spick and span and
certified and smart
It's simply broken up the clan and
cracked each 1oafer's heart.
I know it's making money fast since
it has changed its ways;
1t never made much in the past but
those were good iold days.
1t was the meeting place, the hub in
that glad time of yore;
1t was the forum of the club-and now
it's just a store.

Engineer Hockersmith, the man

PRAYER NJ MEETING.

The prayer services held at the
Methodist Church are increasing
in interest and the attendance is
growing rapidly. Joe f. Odle was
leader of the service last Tuesday
evening. The attendance was the
best yet, and the ready response to
the subject-matter and earnest ef-
forts to elucidate the scriptural
meaning of the quotations read
shows the good results from Bible
study and investigation.
"Faith" being the topic Of the
Scripture lesson, the readings and
comments brought out the fact
very clearly that faith is the assent
of the mind to the truth of divine
revelation, on the authority of
Gods testimony accompanied with
cordial assent of the will or ap-
probation of the heart; an entire
confidence or trust in Gods char
acter and declarations, and in the
character and teachings of Christ,
with an unreserved surrender of
the will to His guidance, and de-
pendence on His merits for saliva
ton: or, in other words, that firm,
convincing assurance and belief of
Gods testimony and of the truth
of the gospel, which influences the
will, and leads to an absolute reli-
ance on Christ for salvation.

ABOUT "SOF T." DRINKS

The near advent of the warm
season with it's attendant thirst,
coupled with the great American
habit of consuming large quanti-
ties of soda-water and other "soft"
drinks, have prompted the New
York City and the Montana boards
of health in recent bulletins 10
deal with this subject.
Tbe Montana bulletin contains
an article giving a long list of
bottled, carbonated beverages that
were found either adulterated or
m,sbranded when examined in the
State laboratory. Most OF them
contained saccharin, samples of
"ginger ale" contained capslcum
but no ginger, and all fruit bev-
erages contained artificial ftavors
and colors which were not declared
on the label.
It is also stated that since sac
charm does not aid foaming as
does sugar the manufactures are in
the habit of using extract OF soap
bark, which produces good foam.
Not only is this stuff deceptive,
bnt also the soap.bark contains a
toxic principle, ,.sapotoxin, which is
markedly poisonous. ;,
The bulletin of the New York
City Department OF Health sets
forth regulation prohibiting the
use of soap-bark in beverages and
in Filings used by bakers. Viola
,;ons Of this regulation will be
criminally prosecuted.
Tbe Journal of the American
Medical Association thinks that
the prevailing habit OF consuming
large quantities of bottled, carbon

ated beverages in hot weather is
undoubted productive of much
harm. The knowledge that pois-
onous chemicals are among the
ingredients should discourage
their use Probably neither the
conscience of the manufacturers
nor statutory or health board reg
uIations will entirely prevent the
sophistication of the "soft" drinks.

He was reciting poetry, and what was worse, poetry which he only half re- membered and was trying to recall an incredible occupation for man weighted with criminal secret.
 Sweetwater was disgusted, and was withdrawing in high indignation from his vantage-point when something oc- cured of startling enough nature to hold him where he was in almost breathless expectation.
 The hole which in the darkness of the closet was always faintly visible, even when the light was not very strong in the adjoining room, had suddenly become a bright and shining loop-hole, with suggestion of move ment in the space beyond The book which had hid this hole on Brother sons side had been taken down-the one book in all those hundreds whose removal threatened Sweetwater's schemes, if not himself.
 For an instant the thwarted detec- tive listened for the angry shout or the smothered oath which would nat urally follow the discovery by Broth erson of this attempted interference with his rrivacy.
 But all was still on his side of the wall A rustling of leaves could be heard, as the inventor searched for the poem he wanted, but nothing more. In withdrawing the book, he had failed to notice the hole in the ly fail to see it whcn he came to put the book book. Meantime, suspense for Sweetwater.
 It was several minutes before he heard MT. 9rotherson's voice again then it Was in triumphant repetition of the lines which had escaped his memory. They were great words surely and SweetwGter never forgot them, but the impression which they made upon his mind, an impression so forcible that he was able to repeat them, months aftarward to MT. Gryee, did not prevent him from noting the tone in which they were uttered, nor the thud wkieh followed as the book was thrown down uNon the floor
