White Way Turned On.

After several months Of dark streets
through the business section of our

abundance Of good bright light for our
streets. Every business house In
town that has been using electricity Is
now connected with the Transmission
company, except the News office, and
Il will be before long. There has been
several reports circulated around that
the lights are not bright enough, but
wherever tho writer has been that
there Is Transmission service, the
lights have been at all times sufii-
ciently bright, and Of continuous ser
vice, except at times through the day,

hygienic value Of fruit. and II is easy
TO partake of hygienic food when one s
tasto is satisfied at the same time. Year
by year people are consuming larger
quantities of fresh fruit, and it is no
longer considered n luxury or an oc-
casional addition to n meal. but takes
prominent place in the planned menu.
Dried fruits, while not so luscious,
have a far greater nourlshing value than
fresh fruit--threc times as great: fruits
are largely water and carbohydrates, but

only necessary TO soak them sufficiently
long for them to reabsorb the original
amount OF water. They then have vir-
tually the consistency and value of the
fresh fruit, although the process has
changed the taste quality.
From an economical point of view the
thrifty housekecpers use the evaporated
fruits in the making OF desserts and as
sauces The laxative property of these
fruits is Of more value than that Of the
fresh fruit. The one great objection in
the use OF tho dried fruits as sauces H.
that too much sugar is added to the
fruit in cooking. The natural fruit
sugar is digestible and is the normal
sugar needed by the body-it is invert
sugar. Cane, corn and beet sugars have
to undergo changes in the process of
digestion before they can be utilized by
the body.
OF all the dried fruits, the prune is
probably the one most generally used

prunes are not used the year round, and

been soaked until they have absorbed
all the water possible.

Of heaven and earth across His face
Like secrets kept. for love. untold.

Better Not Let Him Kiss You
Tc the Editor Of Wop,an's Pooe:

&c INC hutoF oJ woman s PQ0e.
Dear Madam am a girl seyen,een yaars
~ age aud am very fond OF a fellow OF The
rams age: We have been acquainted for
,n nSary TOUR years and we have been going
bad quarrels, resulting IT,, the severance Of
irlendship many times: They have arisen
and would not let him. know him 10 have
= very rood character and ] also know
that he thinks great deal OF me is IL
proper that should let him kiss me7 Hoping
to see an early reply. A. II. P
You are quite right not to allow the
young man to kiss you. Unless he is in
love with you and you have promised to
marry him you would make a mistake to
allow man who is simply a friend such
familiarities. You are both very young
to decide about your future. Why not
read together and occupy your time so
that there will be less likelihood Of senti-
mental relationship.
