many OF the ObServanceS which 1t be-
queathed to Easter. Thus it was for
merly custom all through the north
of Germany, on the night of Easter
Sunday or the third night following, to
kindle bonfires on all the heights, af
fording a magnificent spectacle, when
these fires were to be seen here and
there over miles Of country. This GUS
tom had become simply a mode of
merrymaking, but 1t is held with plaus-
Utility that originally the bonfire was
| symbolical Of the new fire that was to
warm the earth and quicken it into re-
newed life after the cold embrace of
winter.
Ancient Popular Belief.
Another indication of the ancient
solar character Of this festival Is an
old popular belief, said to survive still
in Brandenburg and Saxony, that the
sun at the moment of rising on the
morning of Easter gives three joyous
leaps, that he dances with youthful
joy. This curious belief was not con-
fined to Germany. In the middle dis
tricts Of Ireland, according to Brand,
it was customary, after spending East
er eve in merrymaking and carous-
ing-watching the pot boil, the con-
tents of which were to break the long
Lenten fast, yet must not be touched
before the growing of the cock-for
the whole company of jewellers to go
out just at daybreak to see the rising
sun take his three Easter leaps. Sir
| Thomas Browne, writing of popular
errors, mentions thus quantity the ex-
istence of this belief in England: 1--WE
shall not, l hope, disparage the resur-
rection of our Redeemer, if we say that
the sun doth not dance on Easter day /;
and though I would willingly assent
unto any sympathetic exultation, yet
we cannot conceive therein more than
a tropical (figurative) expression"
Perhaps there is no more striking Illus
tration than this of the power of an
inherited belief to live on in spite of
the testimony Of all experience against
1t. In some places, apparently as an
alternative for giving up the belief
wholly, it was held that in order to
witness these three leaps one must
look, not at The sun itself, but at the
reflection of it in pool Of clear water.
AS a last resort, to save the belief, the
sun might be made to dance. Brand
! could recall that when he was boy
he had seen "a vessel full of water set
in the open air, In which the reflected
sun seemed to dance, from the tremu-
lOus motion of the water" If the
mountain will not come to Mahomet,
then Mahomet must go to the noun
tain.
Among the customs handed down
through long ages and accepted by the
! Church were those of Easter eggs and
the Easter tale which the preacher told
from the pulpit, in lieu of sermon,
connecting it with Christian reminis-
! cences. Later still there were in Ger
many dramatic shows, named Oster-
spiele, executed by twelve performers,
one of whom, apparently, was the
leader, and represented Summer beat
Ing Winter out of the land. The dances
and sports prevalent at this season In
Germany among the youths and maid.
ems appear sometimes to have been
marked with something Of the loose
ness characteristic Of the floral games
in Italy.

Cars to Keep Eyes on Acceler-
ator Pedals, Etc.

Keep your eyes on the road. Many
operators are continually looking down
at their feet, at the accelerator pedals,
etc, while operating. This takes their
attention away from the road, which is
dangerous. With little practice you
can soon locate all the necessary ped
ais, ETC., without looking for them. This
is the only safe way to drive.

The time Is fast approaching when

means funds TO equip. feed and train

means an ample reservoir OF financial
credit out OF which all things required
by the brotherhood Of nations against
autocratic militarism can be obtained
TO drive forward this year with their
maximum strength and bring the hor.
rors OF the world war to an early end.
The man who at home buys q Lib

OF war as the man in khaki who pulls
a trigger In his trench in France. II
In all the more home mans duty TO
perform this act. since he is not under

that raises the soldiers service to tho

APPEAL TO SAVE MORE WHEAT
Bread Receipts That Meet Require
 mentS.

The |. s. Food Administration has sent out an appeal asking the people to further reduce their consumption of wheat We must save more wheat. Furthermore, we have large quanti- ties of corn meal in the State. which will spoil unless it IS used at once. Women have the very erroneous idea that corn meal cannot be used in sum mer. This is not so. People in the South, where it is much warmer, use corn meal almost entirely In many sections of the South they never use any flour Cannot we in the North do our part?
 Many housewives have learned how to use the eoarser meals in constant ly increasing proportions with wheat flour in breads, pastries and pud- dings. Now the food administration asks you to eliminate all wheat Are you ready to do it?
 Signatures of women who agree to buy no wheat flour during the next 40 days have already been secured as follows: Chaplin Ladies' Aid socie- ty. 13 members; Grosvenordale I3, Putnam Red Cross 80, Thompson Grange
