How to Dye the Eaqs.

The best method Is to dye your eggs
lust before breakfast or before you
want to serve them. If your dyes are
all ready and you have read over your
directions beforehand you need allow
only ten or fifteen minutes for the
task. Have your dyes ready in old
teacups. Green, light blue, orange,
rose red, purple, pink, yellow and scar
let are the usual colors. Cook your
eggs to the desired degree Of hardness
and then quickly drop them from the
boiling water into the hot dye and as
soon as they have taken the desired
hue remove them from the dye and
place in the dish from which they are
to be served.

Easter MORNING..

Ger all the earth the Easter bells are
ringing,
From arctic SHOWS to tropic isles 30 fair,
Where Easter lilies, their white censers
swinging,
Rich fragrance pour upon the balmy air
Der all the earth a myriad happy voices
With Joyous greetings hail the Easter
morn.
Death reigns no more" the chorus glad
rejoices.

doth scorp."

AOR luncheon and dinner on Eas-
ter Monday and Tuesday the
decorations should express the
y Easter spirit. Rabbits, chickens
and eggs must appear in one form or
another. The shops are filed with
lovely place cards and favors.
One effect which is charming for .
luncheon table has yellow and white
for its color scheme. In the center of
the table is a mound of daffodils sur
rounding a big white egg, from which
a little white chicken peeps. From the
center streamers of yellow ribbon lead
to the four corners and finish in a bow.
At each place is found a little candy
filed rabbit standing on its hind legs
with the front feet extended.
On the feet is placed the little card
with the name Of the guest whose
place it is. The upper half Of the rab-
bit comes off, and the body is filed
with tiny bonbons. These serve as
both place cards and favors.
At such a luncheon the colors must
be preserved throughout, starting with
grapefruit and golden chicken bouil-
Ion, followed by salmon or eggs In one
fashion or another. Chicken may DO
served as the meat, or If chops are pre-
ferred little yellow rufflets can be put
on their stems. Orange salad keeps up
the color scheme and banana or deep
yellow vanilla cream finishes It. Little
egg candies are appropriate and attrac-
tive.
For a children's party there is a
larger field for variety. A new version
Of an old game may be rung in very
neatly. A couple Of hundred little egg
candies may be concealed in every
imaginable corner Of the house. These
are to be sought by all the little ones.
The child finding the most should re-
ceive the prize of fuzzy chicken filed
with candy, the second prize being a
smaller rabbit, and the BOBBY prize
should be a cardboard rabbit drawing
a cardboard egg, on which should be
inscribed "booby."
For prizes in other games the choco.
late or nut eggs make delicious and
acceptable gifts. There are SO many
old fashioned games in which prizes
may be given, and this always adds q
zest to the games.
A costume party for the children af.
fords a great deal Of amusement and
plenty Of room for originality. The in
vitations should direct each guest ia
come in Easter costume. One Of the
best costumes along these lines seen in
a long time was invented by small
miss Of ten years.
It was made Of cardboard to repre-.
sent an egg and tied in the back. II
was a perfect oval from head to foot
It was very narrow at the bottom,
where her feet came through, and on
her head she wore white oval car
made like a sou'wester, which had an
opening for the face, but Joined the
rest Of the costume at the neck. Round
holes were made in the cardboard al
the shoulders for the arms to come
through. When she was in this cos
tune 1t was really remarkably like an
egg.-New York Evening Telegram.

cured in the case of children under
treatment is about 80 per cent. DR..
Longstreet Taylor, who is one of the
leading authorities upon tuberculosis
in the United States, said at the Anti
tuberculosis conference in Mime
apolis in October that it seemed i'm
possible to interest the people of
Stearns county in the tuberculosis
problem. So far, they had been un-
able to gain any foothold whatsoever
here. This is a grave Indictment
when one considers what other coun-
ties are doing. Part of the receipts
from the sale of seals is set aside for
the erection of a county sanitarium in
the future. If the people of Sank
Centre will rise to the occasion and
500 worth of seals are sold here, one
half of the sum is retained to be used
for health work in this vicinity.
When we consider that out of TIE
vast number of young men examined
for the army this year, only 20 per
cent were found physically fit, we
realize what a field there is for health
work.

HAS LEARNED HIS LESSON.

A we'll known Saunk Centre citizen
thinking he" would relieve the local
sugar market sent to Montgomery,
Ward & Co. recently for 60 pounds of
sugar at their catalogue price. Just
to show them he was right he also
ordered other groceries at lorg
price, the entire bill amounting to
1898, plus freight. He added a post
script to his order stating that if sugar
order could not be filled to cancel the
entire order. He was quite surprised
on Wednesday of this week to receive
notice that his order had been filled
With rs pounds of sugar, and a check
for the balance due him. From the
prices quoted on the bill the H raid
is willing to guarantee that any or
ii the Sauk Centre groceries, will fill
the grocery order out of stock with
high grade mere andise at least a.
cheap as the mail order price. The
nan who erdeavored to relieve the
local sugar situation says that he ha-
learned his lesson and that hereafter
he will fight shy of mail order con
Germs.

Gently received by the parents of Al

Sam in the navy as a member of the
U. S. S. ship, Minnesota:
U. S. S. Minnesota, Nov. 7, 1917.
Dear Mother
Your letter received today with
great pleasure and was very glad to
hear that you got my pictures safely.
I'll admit was little worried about
them. l didn't want to see such good
pictures go to waste.
Don't pay any attention to that
piece in the Bible. l don't believe
this war will end for long time yet
to come. l don't really care if it
doesn't; its mighty interesting here,
and that is what love. of course it
isn't right for me to say that but I'd
like to see little fun, I am after
adventure, guess.
Yes, mother, I would love to have
a sweater, anything to keep warm.
All the other boys are getting sweat
ers and helmets and little me is get
ing none. I miss something warm, or
l will, when we sail north again We
don't intend to stay where it is warm
always. Knit anything warm and /
will furnish all expenses.
l transacted a little business at the
pay office today, subject was Liberty
Bonds. I am carrying all the bonds
I can stand. Don't you think they
are a good thing? Can't lose any
money on them that's a cinch. I can
sell them at any bank at any time or
I can keep them and get four per
cent interest on them.
l have been in the service over six
months now. I feel like an old timer.
Sea life comes natural to me. Get
to see few big fish now and then
sharks and porpoises mostly. Well,
am in a hurry as you might notice Sc
must close for this time, hoping to
hear from you very soon.
Lovingly yours,
Albert.

Broke Through.-On Tuesday as
M. Henry Dimond was coming down
the lake with two eleds loaded with
wood and drawn with oxen, the ice
broke letting both sleds, teams and
all into the water. By great exertiCo,
Mr.. Dimond succeeded in getting out
both teams and one of the sleds. The
other sled being heavily ironed sank
to the bottom and is lost to the
owner, at least for this winter. Possib-
ly he may be able to get it out next
summer. Beyond the loss of the sled
no serious damage resulted.
A Christmas ball will be given at
the Sank Centre House.

Exciting Adventure.-One of those
thrilling adventures with the denizens
of the forest which occasionally hap
pen to- the pioneer settler was ex-
perienced last week by our friend,
Howard Sanderson of Osakis. He was
engaged in assisting a couple of
hunters to put up hunting camp
about five miles east of Spruce Hill
and in going out to cut a log, he ran
across what he supposed to be a
coon track, and his passion for game
and adventure getting the better of
him, he left his work and followed the
track. When he had travelled about
mile he discovered the track was
made by a deer instead of a coon
Before him stood huge buck with
tail and bristles erect and eyes green
and glazing. Howard, who was armed
with an ak, concluded the buck meant
business, and as retreat was impos-
sible, prepared to meet him. The
buck charged on him five times and
each time was repulsed by a blow
from the ak. The sixth time the deer
went for him, Mr.. Sanderson got in
one where he lived and leveled hir
to the ground where he proceeded tc
dispatch him. This was the first deer
Mr.. Sanderson ever killed and it
said by some when envy him the sue

clothes were quite too small for him

Letting George, the printer, do it
seems to be a popular pastime these
days, judging by the amount OF free
publicity which is passed to the print
er. Men in the great centers spend
their time in preparing matter for the
press and then mail it out, thinking
they have become patriots, while the
real man behind the gun, the country
publisher, gets very little credit, al
though he is the man who places the
publicity before the people. Last
week it was the writer's privilege to
read letter from one of these free
publicity bureaus which are working
for glory for themselves, saying: "We
are mailing column of matter each
week to your editor. If he is not
