on last Thursday night at the Chris
tan church. a most delightful evening
was spent by about fifty persons who
we're the guests Of the boys class in
the Christian Sunday school This class
also bears the significant name of The
Worthwhile Club" The reception was
rendered by the boys to the members of
the adult classes OF men and women
and to few invited guests outside.
The program was opened by song
This was followed by an ad r 3 Of
welcome by Master Marian Marcum Of
the boys class, in few well-chosen
words. The response was delivered by
MIR. John b. Rife in appropriate terms.
Prayer was then offered by the Rev.
Mr. Dunnigan. Following these pre-
most excellent refreshments
we're served in such variety and pro-
fusion that every one felt that the boys
had achieved the greatest success in
this their initial EFFORT In the line Of en-
PERTAINING others, a success that would
have done credit to veterans In this
line. After the repast, Judge Cisco de-
llvered a most impressive and inspir-
ing address to the members OF the

FIRST MARRIED QUARREL
A SHOW DOWN.

In the May Woman's Home Com
panIon Justice John ]. Freschi, form
erly Judge OF the Court OF Domestic
Relations in New York City has an ex-
ceedingly Interesting article on the
main causes for divorce based on his
wide experience in hearing such cases.
There is no gainsaying that the first
out land out domestic quarrel often
serves valuable purpose" he says.
1T leads TO a quick understanding
what IL popularity called a showdown
and opens the way for establishments
and compromises. Otherwise, the pair
would go through the slow. painful pro-
cess OF drifting while they learned their
martial lesson gradually. and the dis
sension might be so bitter as to result
fatally. There may be an occasional
pair OF such temperamental unanimity
that they never have a real quarrel,
This is due to long association prior to
marriage that has brought about an
adjustment of ideals. on the other
hand, there are those who need the
quarrel to clear the atmosphere and
because they enjoy that incompatible
rejuvenator Of romance. the making
up.

boys class especially on the Importance
Of making the proper use Of early OPP
portunities and the power Of habits
early formed. The Judge spoke earnest
ly and effectively, and his wise words
made deep impressions not only on the
boys but on the minds Of all present.
Then the Rev. l.. VI. Copley delivered
an address on The Best Methods of
Bible Study" which was well received
and enjoyed by all. He reviewed the
various methods OF studying the Bible
pointing out the great difference be-,
tween merely reading and really study
ing the Book. He saw good in all the
current methods but especially recon-
mended the study OF the Bible by Dis
pensations, tho only natural method
After concluding remarks by Mr.. James
Marcum, the superintendent OF the
school, and by others, the benediction
was pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Cole. With
unanimous consent. it was pronounced
one Of the happiest occasions ever en-
joyed by those present and the affair
reflects the greatest credit on the boys
and their assistants and does credit TO
the entire body Of this enterprising and
up to- date Sunday school

SIMPLE TESTS FOR DETECT
ING FOOD ADULTERANTs.

Every housewife who has at heart
the health OF her family always tries
to give them the purest Of foods" says
chemist However, she may defeat
her own purpose by lack of a little
knowledge. Every housewife should
know the simple tests by which she
different foods. Here are few such
tests that any one can use successful
ly in safeguarding his health:
AN increasingly large amount Of
salt may be worked into bread by un-
scrupulous bakers, without the con-
sumers becoming aware OF it. The idea
is that bread loaded with salt weighs
more heavily on account OF the mois-
ture which it will retain.
ITO find out the real value Of bread
from the standpoint of weight little
experiment may be followed: Take two
samples OF equal weight and bake these
in an oven for an hour. At the end OF
this time weigh again. That which is
the heavier is the betterzvalue- The
addition of alum to bread to make IL
white Coften used to mask an inferior
-FOUR is much to be condemned Small
quantities Of alum taken regularly in
this way are very harmful Happily a
simple test for the discovery of alum
in bread is available. Take a sample
of the suspected article and place IL In
a saucer. Then pour over it a solution
Of carbonate of ammonia II alum is
present in the bread it will turn black,
but If the bread is pure no change will
take place.
"A very good test by means of which
the best fresh butter may be disting-
uished from the made-up article or
margarine is that in which a small
quantity OF the sample is placed in a
tiny tube This is set in water sufii-
GENTLY warm to melt the contents; the
sample is kept in melted state for
half an hour and il is then examined
II the butter is pure. and of the high
est quality, il will almost certainly be
clear on the other hand. with marga-
rine or a worked-up butter certain
clOudiness will be apparent.
"a more simple. but equally relia-
BILE, test is that in which a piece Of the
suspected article about the size Of the
tip Of the little finger is placed in a
spoon. This is held over gas burn
er. and the behavior OF the sample is
watched. Real butter boils quietly.

AMAZING REPORTS
 ABOUT WTAL|TAS
What People Are Saying Throughout South of Won
 derful Product

The following are extracts of what peo- pie are saying throughout the south about vitalitas the most wonderful curative of the age:
 Augusta, Ga, MT. A. G. Howard Sr., capitalist: "Vitalitas is truly good rem edy, pleasant in it's actions and taste, has relieved me of indigestion and bron- chitis.'

PROSPERITY IN SOUTHWEST

MT. Kruttschnitts statement confirms reports which have been received in New York from the northwest, the southwest and the Pacific slope. Almost all of these reports have come from bankers or from officers of trade or business as- sociations. Mir Kruttschnitt's report is based upon his observation as a railroad man.
 The sale of transportation by the Southern Pacific tells story of im- proved business conditions The mines are furnishing enormous traffic and that is especially true of the mines of Ari- zona It was commonly said in the early fali of 1915 that when we began to hear of improvement in the lumber business the country would feel assured that real prosperity had begun. The reason for this opinion was based upon experience which showed that the lumber industry is the last to recover from a period of business depression. Now Oregon is busily occu- pied with her lumber industry. and by mid-May California will in similar man. ner be engaged.
 There is in Mr. Kruttschnitt's state ment some intimation that the apprehen- sion of some effect upon the business of the Southern Pacific railroad due to the opening of the Panama canals navigation still exists. But the opinion prevails in this city that ultimately the navigation of the Panama canal will stimulate raiis road business since presumably a vast amount of traffic from the interior to the seaports will be created because there should be a very great increase in our commerce with other countries, and e5- pecially with South America, on account of facilities which the canal offers.
 MT. Kruttschnitts intimation is a very gentle one. It is discovered in his statement that the blockade of the Pan- anna canal contributed considerably to the volume of Southern Pacific freight traffic. There is also discovered another gentle intimation of his belief that the Panama canal may affect Southern Pa cific freight contained in the statement that the demand for steamships that can be used for conveying freight across the Atlantic is so great that the full ef- feet of the reopenng of the Panama canal will not be immediately felt on railroad

EXPECT BUTTONS
 TO YIELD 5000
Gives Opportunity for Every Citizen to Contribute Something to the
 Veterans Entertainment

The finance and general committees of the Confederate reunion hope to realize at least $5OO0 from the sale of the official
 buttons preceding the convention, ac- cording to an opinion expressed around headquarters yesterday.
 The final decision to sponsor a but ton or tag day by the general commit tee came after the plan as operated at Jacksonville, was carefully considered. It was considered entirely appropriate to hold the button sale for the reason that in this manner every individual, what ever his financial ability. could by buy ing a button become one of the citizens actually entertaining the veterans of the civil war. The possessor of an official tag will have the satisfaction of know ing that his purchase was for the actual of the old soldiers, and to
