single word. The last page of the
book, which completed the announce
msnt, was read by Mrs. Alice Stall
maker.
The national colors we're dominant in
the decorations, which gave the dining
room the effect of fairy bower.

LELLIOTT WRITES
FROM ENGLAND
From the Mosier Bulletin

In recent letter to his mother,
Mrs. Thos. Lelliott, Jack Lelliott an
nounces his safe arrival in England
with the troops of the lend regiment.
A fine voyage was enjoyed during
which none was sick, and no subma-
rines were seen. The soldiers were
on the transport on Christmas day.
Young Lelliott stated that the cards
which his mother had received from
him previously from New York, stat.
ing that they were ready to sail, We're
not mailed by the postal authorities
until his contingent had landed in Eng.
land. The next letter, he predicted,
would be sent from France, as they
were waiting in England only until
their billets were being made ready.
All of the soldiers, he declared, were
mighty glad to get away from Camp
Mills.
While quartered in England. the
men slept in tents, and he spoke gen.
erously of the liberal apportionment
of four blankets for each soldier. They
were not allowed to go out alone away
from their quarters, except when ac-
companied by an officer.
Holly, shrubs, trees and grass are
green there, he said. Commodities are
very high although no shortage of food
exists. He said that while he did not
receive much for Christmas, he did not
mind in the least, as he is learning to
do without extras, as are all of the
soldiers.

WOMAN'S CLUB News

The Hood River WOman's club will
celebrate Patriotic Day, February l3
at Library hall. An excellent pro-
gram is being arranged by Mrs. j. O..
Mclaughlin. The regular business
meeting at 2.90 O'Clock, will precede
the program.
DR.. John H. Boyd will give his popu-
lar lecture, 1.-THE Unmasking of Ger
many" Wednesda February 20. at
the high school auditorium. This event,
of much interest to Hood River people,
will be given under the auspices of the
Woman's club. There will be no ad-
mission fee.
The kazoo concert at the high school
auditorium Tuesday evening of last
week, given for the benefit of the
Scholarship Loan fund, was scream"
from beginning to end. Y
The crowd which filled the big audi.
torium to standing ROOM capacity, was
surprised by the talent displayed by
the members of the orchestra, who
were able to produce wonderful music
from carpet beaters, wash tubs, turkey
roasters, etc.
The solo numbers, both. vocal and in
strumental, were joy to all. To Mrs.
Henney, who directed the orchestra, a
great deal of credit is due for the big
success of the show.
A group of children, dressed to rep.
resent our allies and carry the flag of
their respective country while they
sang America" added the patriotic
note of the evening. The negro we'd
ding at the close of the program added
much to the merriment.
Mrs. VIM. Stewart was chairman of
the committee who had the evening in
charge.
The Federated clubs all over the
state of Oregon give each year sum
of money to the Scholarship Loan fund
which is loaned, through a board of
directors, to girls who desire to con-
tinue their education or fit themselves
for better positions. As the money is
loaned to the girls without interest the
clubs feel that this is the very best
work they do.
From the proceeds of this concert the
Scholarship Loan fund will be in
creased over $l00.
To the men who so generously gave
of their time and assisted the commit
tee in its rehearsals the club wishes to
extend its thanks. Press Committee.

RECOMMENDS Use
OF CRANBERRIES

Now that fresh fruits are not so
abundant and greens are becoming
scarce, we must look around for a
substitute. -Cranberries make a good
one. They contain the iron and acid
which are so needed in healthy body.
Then, too, cranberries can be used in
such variety of ways that home
keepers ought not to pass them over
even when sugar is scarce. They need
not be used in great quantities but
moderately. They are now on the
market at twenty FIVE (25) cents a
pound. IL one wishes to buy guam
tity at once, they can easily be kept
for later use, by canning either cooked
or uncooked.
To keep cranberries uncooked: Wash
and pick over the berries, fill jar; let
cold water run over them about ten
minutes; fill with cold water and seal.
Cranberries can also be dried the
same as other fruit. Various uses for
cranberries:
/. Filling for tarts and pies, with
or without the addition of raisins.
2. Cranberry syrup can be used in
fruit punch, in sauce for ia pudding,
in gelatin jelly, added to apple snow,
or plain snow pudding, or frozen into
sherbet.
3. Cranberries combine nicely with
other fruits in preserve and jam.
Cranberries, raisins and nuts make a
fine preserve.
4. These bright cherries eandied
can be used in place of maraschino
cherries.
5. Cranberry pudding: To pint
of cold milk allow two eggs, a little
salt, and four tablespoons flour; beat
smooth and add cup of chopped.
uncooksd cranberries. Steam for two
hours and serve with sauce of butter
and hot honey or syrup.

About Constipation

Certain articles of diet tend to check
of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote movement of the bow
els. When the bowels are badly con.
stipated, however, the sure way is to
take one or two of Chamberlain Tab

A Hint to the Aged

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as soon
as they take cold and remain in bed
for one or two days they would recover
much more quickly, especially if they

cold being followed by any of the more
