Let 1t be empha tically understood
that the dances above enumerated
are the only ones that have any
present significance in French, En-
glish or American balirooms," writes
Troy Kinney in Social Dancing of
Today (Stokes). ''So-called new
dances bearing names of summer and
winter resorts, heroines and what
not, are presented in endless success
sion; but analysis always shows their
almost complete lack of individuality.
Their claim to recognition regularly
consists of q minor variation of a
familiar bit of one of the waltzes, the
tango or the one-step. Around this
nucleus are gathered steps taken from
the, other dances; and the compost

"rhe Lost Parchment"


This novel Dillingham; represents
Fergus Hume in his best vein. The
plot of this new story Is exceedingly
ingenious and surprising. Rupert
Hendle, the hero. is the squire Of Bar
ship, a small village near London. He
is in love with Dorinda Mallien,
whose father has an Unsuitable mania
for the possession of rare Jewels. Both
men are distantly related. Leigh, a
recluse clergyman and archeologist,
finds a lost will in the ,Hendle vault,
and this will. IL declared valid,
makes Mallien the heir. Hendle con-
suits lawyer about the matter, but
the lawyer, a rascally villain, COM
mits murder in order to obtain the
will, hoping to sell 1t for large sum
to the interested heir. Afterward he
buries the will near the sun-dial in
the garden of the victims home.
How the net slowly but surely
tightens around the luekless criminal;
how the supposedly murdered man
comes to life again and what the real
secret that underlay the construction
of that will and how Rupert and
Dorinda come into their own COM
pletes a clever volume.

COUGH TWO YEARS old
Yields to Vinol. Read Why.

Strong vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get foot
hold.
Now isn't it reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your run down condition again?
Mrs. D. A. MCGEE of Waycross, Ca.
says: Il had a chronic cold and cough
which kept me awake nights for two
years and l felt tired all the time.
Vinol cured my cough and feel
stronger in every way"
The reason Vinol Is so eff1cacious
in such cases is because it contains
in delicious concentrated form all
the medicinal curative elements Of
cod liver oil, with tonic, blood build
ing iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because it builds up the weak
ened, rundown system
You can get your money back any

NOn-Church Goers

A great deal is heard these DAYS about
not lbeing able to get people out to
church. Some point to the good old days
when the whole family used to drive
miles to church over the New England
hills, to sit in an unheated building and
listen to sermon two hours in length,
and compare those conditions with those
of today, when churches are warmed,
the sermon rarely exceeds 40 minutes.
and trained choir and big pipe organ
help to make the service attractive. And
with all these, one, two, or perhaps three,
members of the family attend, and those
more likely to be the women and chill
dren.
Someone recently wrote to the editor
of the Congregationalist, telling of plans
for church campaign and asking the
editor to give ten reasons why people
should go to church. In response the
following were offered.
1 1t is wholesome to put on clean
clothes and make ones self physically
presentable.
2 The quiet of the sanctuary offsets
the sush and drive OF weekday life.
3 Diverting thoughts into higher chan
nels better the body as well as the mind.
A Churchgong brings one Into person.
al association with good and true men
and women.
One hears good and often the BEST
English spoken in the pulpit, and this
helps to compensate for the slang, poor
grammar and profanity thrown at our
ears during the weekdays.
g AS a rule, ones musical aud aesthet-
ic sensibIities are Toasted by what the
sanctuary affords.
Something in the sermon will help.
one. A distinguished Massachusetts
lawyer once said, 'It is a mighty poor
sermon that does not hit me seine where."
Ones presence helps to maintain a
institution without which property would
be less safe and dangers to ones person
would increase.
8 Ones presence in church gratifes
ones best and truest friends.
10 For his own souls sake a man
should initiate his real Master and go to
church.
These are all excelIenS reasons for
church Attendance, although we should
say there is more in the tenth than in all
the others. One may be a good Csris-
tian and never go to church. But unless
there is special reason for not going
on will not be as good a Christian

rut into which the local market has
fallen is so deep that all efforts to

The highest market in the east to-

extreme figure here. AS general
rule the North Portland market is
that much above anything in the east
therefore compared with the normal
standing of the trade here, prevailing
prices are over 81 too low.
