CETENARY MEETING TO
Be HELD IN DAWSON
CHANGED FROM BRONWOOD TO
THIS CITY, AND DATE ALSO
MOVED UP TO MARCH 4TH.

The group meeting for the promo
ton of the Centenary movement
which was to have been held in Bron-
wood has, for good reasons, been
changed to Dawson.
The session will convene at $3.50
o'clock Tuesday, March 4th, with for
ty minutes for lunch, and will contin-
ne until 4 80 in the afternoon.
About seventy-five preachers and
laymen are expected, and very i'm
portant matters are to be considered
preparatory to the eight-day drive
upon which the hosts of Methodism
will enter in April.
Rev. o. B. Chester in announcing
the meeting took occasion to express
his appreciation of Dawson's hospit-
able spirit, and made request of the
ladies that only the simplest food
be provided for the midday lunch.
This seems the consistent course,
since one of the objects of this great
undertaking of the church is to re-
lieve a suffering, starving world. The
meeting will be open to the public.

the domestic science department of

the birthday of Washington by en-
PERTAINING with a seven course lunch
con, which was elegant in every de-
tail, and one of the most enjoyable
social affairs of the week.
The young ladies comprising this
class are Misses Willie Chappell,
Carolyn Geise, Frances Peddy, En-
ma Herman and Sarah Jones, who
gave full proof of their culinary
skill in the preparation of the de-
licious menu served to the honored
guests, the mothers of the fair young
hostesses. The table was faultlessIy
laid in the large and attractive up
stair rooms where Miss Remson, the
efficient domestic science teacher, Is
the presiding genius.
The centerpiece was a miniature
cherry tree full ripe red fruit, with
the historic Ratchet laid at the roots.
Tiny red hatchets were the appro-
pirate place cards. Sailed nuts were
served in bright paper cases bearing
the United States shield, and the pa
triotic colors dominated every feat
ure of the delightful affair.

VEST POCKET STILLS NOW
SUGGESTED BY CHEMISTS
Whisky Pellets May Be the Means
of Defeating Prohibition.

If the dreams of certain British
chemists are realized a way may yet
be found to defeat prohibition in the
United States. Pills made out of con-
centrated whisky or beer may be
manufactured, it is said, and used by
the "wets" after America has gone
"bone dry"
The thirsty could carry bottle of

be to drop a pill into a glass of GIN

And Yet We cannot meet an aviator

his opponent thousands Of feet up in

DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives Of thousands Of Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphana-es. according to de
tailed reports, which have Just reached
the headquarters of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
ArmenianS since the beg. ming of TIE
war to care for the children whose
parents had beer murdered by the
Turks. Because of lack Of food.
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children in these tnstitu-
lions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty 4 day in some cases.
When Armenian funds became In
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge Of the orphauaEe. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition
1t Is estimated by persons who have
made survey of Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care
Near East Relief is the only organi.
cation now operating In Western Asia
and it is making an appeal to save
these Christian children.

no words came. He tried to smile a

In The
Small Hours
BY DORA NOLAN
Copyright 1919, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)

Little Mrs. Parity was alone in her
cottage house and the small hours had
come. She had never been quite alone,
with no other human presence under
the same roof, before in her life,
though she was past forty. Almost al
ways her mother had been about. even
In the days before Justine's austere,
scholarly husband had very suddenly
laid down his studies twelve years ago
and gone on an unexpected journey of
research into the mysteries of that
hereafter with which he had so deeply
concerned himself in life. But now
the mother, with one of those sudden
attacks of wanderlust which sometimes
manifest themselves with increasing
years, had insisted on going alone to
visit niece at a considerable dis
lance, leaving Justine In the company
Of the dependable old servant, Hannah
But Hannah, too, had niece, and the
niece had a family which elected this
particular time to undergo riOtOus
and comprehensive attack of influenza.
Blood is thicker than water, and there
was nothing for it bat that Hannah
should go to the niece and the grand
nieces and grandnephews. So Justine
lay alone and heard the clock strike
half past twelve and one and half past
one. And then heard strange. rasp-
ing sound at the living-room window.
To appreciate just what followed
one must remember that Justine Par
try, at forty-two, looked scarcely more
than thirty-she had been the prettiest
girl in the big public school and the
beauty of the high school afterward.
And her life had been Sheltered-how
