The Sunday School had very in

again fell slightly below the one hun
bred mark. Class No. 6, of which
Mrs. Eula Bennett is teacher. was a
star class. Arrangements We're made
for the purchase of four large Bible
maps for the Sunday School The
Unity Adult Bible Glass will hold their
business and social meeting tonight at
the home of Mrs. Annie Daniels All
the members have been invited and are
expected to attend. Besides a number
of visitors are expected to be present,
and an all-round good time is antici-
pated.
There were average congregations at
the morning and evening worship. An
average congregation nowadays means
about fifty per cent of the members of
the church. 1t is to be regretted that
so many church members feel but little
or no obligation to attend church The
same discouraging condition prevails
throughout the whole country. Hence
of late we have heard so much about
'Go-To-Church Sunday " 1t would be
infinitely better to make every Sunday
go-to-church Sunday, which is the

FISH FixINGS.

A most delicious sauce to serve
with boiled or baked fish is the follow
ing: Make a rich white sauce, using
two tablespoonfuls each of butter and
flour, a half teaspoonful of salt and
a cup of thin cream. Melt the butter,
end when bubbling hot add the -four;
mix well and add the milk, and just
before taking from the fire add the
salt and a few dashes of cayenne
sour pickle chopped and parsley for
a garnish with eighths of lemon.
Spanish Codfish.-Take half pound
of salt Goldfish, one Glove of garlic
finely chopped, a cup of rich tomato
sauce, one onion chopped fine, few
dashes of paprika, a quarter of cup
OF olive oil, one-half of a sweet red
pepper. Soak the Goldfish over night,
and simmer in fresh water 40 minutes
Pick out the bones and lay the shred
ded fish in a buttered baking dish.
Fry the onion, pepper and garlic in
the olive oil and add to the tomato
sauce. Cut triangles of bread and fry
in the oil and arrange around the dish.
Cook for Is minutes and serve very
hot. When soaking cod fish, or any
other salty fish, put it skin side up in
the water, otherwise the salt will sink
into the skin and flesh and fail to fall
to the bottom of the dish.
Luncheon Fish.-Free leftover fish
from bones and skin and flake with a
fork. To cupful allow a teaspoonful
of -four with a quarter of teaspoon
of mustard, a dash of cayenne, a ia
blespoonful of butter and a saltspoon
OF salt. Rub these ingredients well
together. adding enough lemon juice
to molsten; half fill scallop shells. COW
err with buttered bread crumbs and
set in a hot oven until thoroughly

A FITTING MONUMENT.

Recently the Christian young peo-
pie of st. Louis protested against the
erection of monument in one of the
city parks to the late Adolphus Busch,
brewer, their resolution setting forth
that "a monument to his memory
means a monument to the liquor traf-
fic with which his whole life was iden-
titled" Whereupon one of the city
papers thus pertinently commented:
THE youngsters made a mistake.
They should have helped erect the
monument, contributing literally to it,
They easily could have found skele-
tons enough of those who had been
starved to sdeath by the use of Adolf
plus chief brew to have erected n
fine SHAFT. The grinning skeletons,
with here and there a bottle of An
heuser.Busch would have made a
shaft to the heavens and every child
would have been benefited by the
warning thus placed in the public
park"

Sir Thomas Barlow, at the Interna-
tional Congress of Medicine held a
few months ago in London, said that
"in the army and navy it has been
astonishing" While many societies
and philanthropic agencies have done
their share, this beneficent change
is due, above all, he declared, to "the
growth of altruiGtic conscience among
young officers-even in the crack regi'
ments-and their consequent influence
/ upon the behavior of the men.

the community has learned, apart
from sentiment, that alcohol takes

made"
In the hospitals there is nothing
less than a revolution as regards the
use of alcohol. THE Doctors exam

To the Temperance Society OF the

Ions.
On this basis of estimate Kansas
paid as her liquor bill $5,S03, 666.O4,
This allows 81 per gallon for whisky
and so cents per gallon for beer. Had
the state paid its quota of the liquor
trafilc's receipts, the bill would have
been s34 ,509,929 instead of S5,303,-
