QUESTION CLEARED UP

Prescott Readers Can No Longer Doubt
 the Evidence.
 Again and again we have read of strangers Tn distant towns who have been cured by this or that medicine. But Prescott's pertinent question has always been "Has anyone here in Prescott been cured?" The word of stranger living a hundred miles away may be true, but it cannot have the same weight with us as the word of our own citizens, whom we know and respect, and whose evidence we can so easily prove.

The Easter festival of our fore fathers covers a period of fifteen days. The week beginning with Easter Sunday was almost en- tirely given over to sport and games and general merry-mak- ing. An odd feature of the old time celebration was h a t of heaving or lifting. the "heaved" sitting in chair decorated with ribbons. Easter Monday a n d Easter Tuesday were known as heaving days, the women sitting in a chair on Monday and the men on Tuesday. Those heav- ing or lifting the chair were ex- pected to lift it three times and then kiss the occupant who, in turn, kissed them. To the re- gret of the lads and lasses in the districts where the novel cere- mony was once performed, the custom has long since died out.

Our idea of good citizen, and we are glad there are many in this community, is one always ready to give. according to his means, to community enterpris- es. He takes stock in them all, and dosen't lose his faith if an occasional venture proves bad. He is not afraid to buy real es- tate and to pay what 1t is worth. He talks up his town at home and abroad, thinks it IS the neat est place on earth, believing it to be destined to be the biggest city in it's section and wants to be buried here when he dies. And he's worth a whole regiment of the luke-warm kind.

A YARN OF FIFTY YEARS AGO

The old captain and l were fishing for salters" at Sampson Narrows. Cape Cod, writes a friend of the Companion. The "salters" are trout swimming in from the sea, to spawn in the fresh waters inland.
 Years ago, when Danlel Web- ster fished in these pleasant wat CTS, the trout were more numer- ous than they are today.
 Even twenty years ago we caught very few fish at the mar rows, but it was very pleasant way of passing a morning, to sit in boat with a good companion, in the tingling April air, on the blue arm of the sea that twists through the brown marshes.
 Well, /" said the captain, as he made a cast, in the spring of '6O l commanded a whaler that left New Bedford on a long ( use. We heard nothing from HDme for more than two years. ! had moderate good luck, and
 n '62 we sailed to the Azores to outfit and get fresh food. We were not many miles from FayaI when a vessel was reported sail ing toward us. She was a long rakish craft with funnel; but under sal! 0ulY, she overhauled us with ease. She was flylng a flag with which was uot famil- far; it looked somewhat like the Stars and Stripes, but it had a jack of only few stars and | broad white and red bars instead

of narrow stripes.
 The strange craft fired a shot across our bow, and we hove to. A boat was lowered from the stranger, but as it came along side, 1 saw that the oarsmen were English and that young American officer was in the stern sheets.
 He came on deck and said to me sharply, Your ship is the prize of the Confederate ship Alabama
 I was dumfounded.
 Confederate shipp 1 exclaim- ed. What does that mean?'
 Tn a few words he told me of the secession of the Southern States. of the formation of the Confederate States of America, and of the activity of the Ala bama as commerce destroyer.
 Get your chronometer,' he ordered, and all of your person al effects. l shall send you to the Alabama.
 In an hour from the time 1 first saw he ship with the strange flag 1 was cramped into a hencoop on the deck of the cruiser watching my ship and her cargo of oil go up in angry flames and black smoke. Every thing l owned in the world was being destroyed before my eyes as 1 crouched in that hencoop in irons. It seemed to me the end of all things; but after many years l recompensed by the Ala bama Claims Commission, ana today live in that house wonder very comfortably on the interest of the sum that was awarded me.
 You never can tell that mis- fortune will be a blessing, my boy" And the cheerful old gentleman began to play a trout that he had struck just as he finished his yarn with as much skill as he displayed in the cap. ture of a whale in the sixties. = Youths Companion.

POTATOES IN PLACE OF BREAD

If wheat remains at it's present high figure or continues to rise in price, and if there is a corre.- bonding increase in the price of bread, scientists in the depart- ment suggest that the ordinary household will find it advantage ous to eat more potatoes and less bread. With potatoes at 50 cents a bushel, 10 cents worth, or 10 pounds. will give the consumer a little more actual nourishment than two 1-pound loaves of bread at 5 cents each. The protein and fat are present in eppreciab- ly larger amounts in the bread but the potash will be found to furnish more carbohydrates and more heat units.
 Carbohydrates (starch) contri. bute greatly to the energy value of any diet, and since potatoes are rich in these, families that wish to eXpend their money to the best advantage are recnm- mended to consider whether they can not make a more extended use of them. They are easy to

WHERE WOMAN IS EQUAL WITH MAN

An article on the Panama Ex- position, written by Edward T. Martin for the January Southern Woman's Magazine gives an al- turing picture of the wonders and beauties of the great fair. The writer dwells at length and with enthusiasm on the lovliness of air and sea and sky, which throws a miracle of:enchantment over the place where man has raised his fairy palaces of a thousand magic hues and forms, but his greatest interest IS for the work of woman. which, for the first time in the history of expositions. is done here jointly and on a perfect equality with that of man. and which gives to this particular fair 8 grace and distinction uneXcelled in loveli- ness and beauty. MT. Martins s article is generously illustrated and makes altogether most fas- cinating forecast of the great world exposition which no one of it's readers but hopes to see.

 A dose of Peruna at the right time. at the first symptom of cold. before the bones begin to ache, before the sore throat manifests itself, or the cough, or the discharge from the nose, just a dose or two of Peruna before these symptoms begin is gener- ally sufficient.
