named Simon and Nelly, who lived in England many centuries ago. Their children were going to visit them on
 Mothering Sunday. but their cupboard was bare save for the remains of some Lenten dough and part of their Christmas plum pudding. It was necessary to have a. cake for the visitors, so Nelly made a crust of the dough, and Simon suggested that the plum pudding be used as filling. The aged couple disagreed violently as to whether the cake should be boiled or baked. Simon insisting upon boiling, while his spouse declared that baking was the proper treatment. Simon beat his wife with 8, broom to en- force his demands, that being one of the happy customs of that eras and the spirited Nelly responded to this argument by breaking a stool over Simonss head At length they agreed to compromise by both boiling and then baking the cake. The broken stool and broom handle were used for fuel, and the cake was duly boiled and then baked, and some eggs which had been broken in the fight were used to coat the exterior. The chill dren were delighted with the cake, and henceforth it was known as sim ne1 cake, the sim being in honor of Simon and the ssne1s' standing for NeIlyi

MOTHERS DAY.

Mothers Day has now become an established institution in the United States, and is annually celebrated on the second Sunday in May, while attempt has been made to grant sim liar recognition to father on the first Sunday in June The observance in honor of ssthe best mother who ever Hved-your own has been hailed as an innovation. but it is by means new In former times in England and in colonial America M0thering Sunday was a popular festival, and was ce1e- brated on the fourth Sunday in Lent Owing to the war an attempt has been been made in England to revive this ancient practice and it is likely that many British soldiers at the front will on this Sunday visit in spirit, since they cannot do so in body. the moth CT who waits and prays for them at home
 Mothering Sunday in former times was marked by the anecionate prac- flee of paying a visit to parents, and particularly the feminine one. and the presentation of gifts Even 5in those days the mother was honored above the father. who had to play second fiddle in the celebration of the day Poor old dad still oc4 c1pies the Asaue humble position in
 the estimate of his children, for, while the attempt to establish a, Mothers Day in America met with instant success and heartfelt appre- ciat1on, the BatherSas Day project was greeted with a chorus of jeers. and was chiefly useful as a. subject of .witticism for the hard-driven hum or ists of the press-many or whom. doubtless, are themselves fathers
 Going a-mothering's on mid-Lent Sunday was considered a necessary duty and a, pleasure by our ancestors It was a useful custom. for 1t helped r,f love which are so often lacking in the present generation Rich and poor went Ha-mothering'' on this day. Those blessed with wealth provided handsome gifts for their mothers. while the poorest offered some trinket and a cake as a symbol of devotion
 Many local customs and foods were connected with Moth ering Sun day. In parts of England the chief dish at the Mothering Sunday feast was called furmety, and was made of whole wheat grains boiled in milk syveetened and favored with spices In Scotland and the north of Eng land the day was sometimes calling Carhng Sunday, after a variety of pancakes called earrings.

Stomach Troubles Due to Acidity
so SAYS EMINENr SPECIALIST.

so SAYS EMlNENI SPEClAl1ST.Z
 So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, and stomach-ache are in probably nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation is taking place in the food contents of the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acids. Wind distends the stomach, and causes that full, oppres- heartburn, while the acid irritates and inf1anaes the delicate lining of the stomach The trouble lies entirely in the fermenting food. Such fermenta- ton is unnatural. and acid formation voIve most serious consequences if not tation of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid and render it bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, probably the best and most effective correetor of acid stomach known, should be taken in a. quarter of a glass of hot or cold water immediately af- ter eating, whenever wind or acid ity is felt This stops the fermenta- ton, and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity are dangerous and un- necessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of a proper antacid, such as bisurated magnesia, which can be ob- tained from any druggist and thus en- able the stomach to do it's work prop er1y without being hindered by poison ous gas and dangerous acids-M F.

Pastors Will Act
 On Billy" Sunday
 Revival Next Week

A special meeting of the Bridge port Pastors association has been called for Monday morning at 10:SO at the Y. M. c. A.. when nine of the committee of ten clergymen will re port recommending the bringing of Billy Sunday, the baseball evange1- ist, to conduct a service of revival here. This was decided at a special meeting of nine of the committee held Wednesday afternoon. Nine of those selected to go to Philadelphia voted in favor of a resolution that the association invite MT. Sunday to come here.
 This resolution will be presented to the other members of the associa- ton at the special meeting which Rev. P B. Matthias. the president of the association, as called. Rev. G. sadt1er, rector of Christ Episcopal church, is the only pastor who did not vote on the resolution. He was not at the committee meeting yes day and has not acted as a member of the committee. A member of the Pastors association said today that 1t would probably be a year before MT. Sunday would have open time to come to Bridgeport.

ENCOURAGEMENT IN BREEDING
 FUR-BEARING ANIMALS.

Up to the present time experiments in breeding fur bearers have been
 carried on only with ninks and
 martens At the two stations,
 Prichard, Idaho, and the National
 Geological Park, Infnks have bred,
 and the healthy condition of the
 young animals promises success The
 stock of martens was secured too late
 for the animals to breed last season.
 This year it is intended to add rac-
 coons, skunks, and possibly foxes to
 the list of animals to be included in these experiments. Moleskins have been extensively
 used in this country during the last
 few years making fur garments, and
 practically all of the supply has been imported from Europe. In the belief that the common mole of eastern United States produces fur of equal value. skins were submitted to pro-
 fessional furriers, who stated that the quality is superior to the foreign
 product A report on the economic status of the eastern species was | published during the year. The mole | inhabititing the northwestern coast is larger than the common eastern species, and a number of these have been collected in order to obtain a. report on the quality of the peIt- If | the texture of the fur proves to be
 as good as that of the eastern animal there is no reason why trappers should not secure good income by capturing these animals, as the area
 they tnhabit is extensive. In many localities an acre of ground supports
 as many as a hundred individu If knis little animal can be profitabIy
 trapped for it's fur, the problem of
 freeing agricultural areas from it will
 practically be solved
 investigations into the economic
 value of North American skunks re-
 suited in the publica1ion of a, Farm
 CTS Bulletin on the subject. It has
 been found that this animal is one of the most useful of native mann
 n1als and. a. most efficient help to the farmer and the orchardist in their warfare against insect and rodent pests As a source of fur it is also a.

 Hyuan Levy had been a merchant and politician here l1nttI his mind was afEected by worry and illness and Hna4ly became blank. For nine seaxs he lived as a. hermit in his own home, not recognizing friends or real sdz1ng that the world about him was 1nov1ng on.
 The awaken1ng came gradually, but ie began with a trip to a boys camp at Croton Point. A few months later he had so far awakened that he in- serted a notice in a local newspaper that he would begin at once to man. age his large real estate holdings. The friends who had not died during his long sleep welcomed his awakening and members of the old fire company held a reception for their former comrade.
 Levy told them stories of town roli- ties ten years ago ana was hungry for news of the situation today. He had besn all but forgotten, but now he is more popular than ever.
