WEDNESDAY MENU.
To Amuse the Children.

This innovation is always welcomed
as a great change from letter blocks.
1t has the attraction. too. of being
just little bit messy" though not
messy enough to disturb mother at
az.
rake an old picture alphabet which
is printed on strong paper and let the
children cut out the letters, leaving a
square around each. Then give them
a large piece of cardboard and a sau-
Ger of water, so that the back Of each
letter can be dipped in water and
smoothed down on the board to
make words.
Each piece of paper will stick in
place because ii is wet. When the
game is finished put the board away.
The letters will have dried and curl
ed up at the edges by next morning,
so that they can be easily peeled off
and used again when they are needed
Here is another quiet game that
children will love: Scatter a number
Of beans, peas or buttons upon the ta-
Bile and give every one a fairly long
stick and tray or plate At a Civ
en- signal each child begins to draw
peas or buttons toward him and put
them on the plate The one who
manages to gain the highest number
in given time is the winner, and if
mother will offer a reward of a sweet
to the lucky one the fascination of the
game will be increased

When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health

Keep some sewing downstairs. so
that if one of the family offers to
read aloud in the evening or some
one comes in during the day to make
a long call you will find something
ready to do while listening or talking.
To make this plan work in the best

you can do downstairs everything you

not have to interrupt the reading or

ADMITS HE Is MAN
SAID TO BE DEAD

Portland, Ore, April 29-Charged
with having swindled a life insurance
company and two fraternal organiza-
tions out of $15,50O, James c. La
France, whose supposedly dead body
was found on the shores of the Clack-
amas river nine miles above Estaca-
da, June 80, 1912 and his wife who
collected his life insurance, are in the
county Jail at Coquille, Ore.
The couple was arrested Saturday
evening when an armed posse, led by
Sheriff Gage of Coos county, and De-
tective Morris of the Thiel detective
service, surrounded the house where
Mrs. La France and her four children
were living, on the outkirts of the
town.
At Coquille, La France has been
going under the name of A. ]. Ferger
and has been operating the Ferger Tie
and Timber company of Bandon,
concern he organized with the money
secured by the insurance swindle.
The arrest comes after a chase of
several months during which time
Thiel detectives shadowed Mrs. La
France from Portland to Summerville,
Texas, thence to Coquille.
She arrived in Coquille March q,
accompanied by her brother, S.
Wofford. who met her in Texas. All
doubt as to the identity of the man
was removed by his own admission
that he is La France, according to
telegraphic information received here
from Coquille. In the telegram, it Is
said that C. r. Peck of Marshfield'
attorney for the Modern Woodmen OF
America one of the organizations
swindled by the La Frances, inter-
viewed him at Coquille today and he
admits his identity. Mrs. La France
had made the same admission pre-
viously.

Calgary. Alberta April 29.-(Spec-

eign born citizens of Calgary in the
English language which is being un-
dertaken by the Technical Education
branch of the Calgary public school
board has resulted in a striking sue
cess. This has been apmly attested
both by the large attendance during
the session just closed, and by the de-
gree of proficiency attained by the
tudents
Perusal of letters written by pupils
who have attended these classes dur

Why Not Have May Breakfasts?

According to the May Woman's
Home Companion. the town of Long
Meadow, Massachusetts,, has since
1869 had every year what is called
the May breakfast in place of the
church supper. Following is an eX-
tract from the article describing it:
THE May Breakfast idea can be
used elsewhere. In fact, it has al
ready been taken up in several other
towns. notably in Suffield Connecti-
cut. The event usually takes place
on May Day. 1t is commonly manag-
ed by some church society. but could

The outstading feature of the class
es in the English language is the tre-

there has lately been an attendance of
three hundred and when they reopen
next fall the immigration of the com
