Home Talent Produces
Pleasing Entertainment

The enter ainment given at the
Methodist church Thursday night
of last week was another pleasant
evening. Joseph Meredith, whose
home was western England, told
of the grassed over Notifications
erected in the time of Caesar: of
great mounds, the burial places of
barbarians; of the facts and ro-
mances of ancient castles, churches
and cathedrals; of the Magma
Charta signed at Runnymede; and
in the short time allowed. he could
only begin to tell of the marvels
of that little country, and what we
owe England.

lections on mandolins.
In keeping with the subject of
the evening, The Romance of the

the Bonny Briar Bush, by Ian
McClaren.
The portrayal of Lady McBeth
in several scenes from the play,
given by Mrs. J. Martin, were
vividly acted, especially the
seep walking part. Mrs. Martil,
was greeted by round OF applause
as she mounted the platform, as
her ability as reader has become
recognized.
Mrs. Phillips gave several well
selected and appropriate violin
solos, accompanied by her little
daughter Mary. Mrs. Phillips also
played The Brook" at tn. piano.
The illustrated talk by Reverend
Martin met the usual approval.

Pulses of the Weather.

There appear to exist in the earth's
atmosphere 'centers of action" which
have wide control over climatic cOndl-
lions and make 1t possible to fOretell
the character of the weather long In
advance. One of the most important
of all these centers is that about Ice
land. According as the atmospheric
pressure there is high or low, mild or
severe winters result in central Eu-
rope, and there are those who contend
that this influence is also felt on the
North American continent. The North
cape is another similar center, and be-
tween these fOci a kind of cOmpensa-
ton of action exists, sometimes at in
tervals of six months. A warm winter
at the North cape corresponds to a
cold winter In Iceland, and Is followed
by cold winds in central Europe and
over the plains of Hungary. The u
of the phenomena, 1t is thought, is to
be found in the variations of the North
Polar ice cap, which constitutes the
great reservoir of cold for the north
ern hemisphere.

BEST TREATMENT FOR GOLD"
Inhalation Of Steam Declared to Be .
Remedy Superior to Admins
tration Of Drugs.

"What medicine may I give my baby
when he has a cold?" This Is a Ques-
ton which is asked repeatedly. My
answer is, None" Not that the least
sign of a cold should be lightly re-
garded. but because there are other
and better remedies than medicine.
Most drugs given for colds upset the
stomach, more or less. so much so that
a few doses will seriously harm that
organ; and when an infants or small
child's stomach and digestion are dis
turbed not enough nOurishment is re-
tained to keep up the child's strength
and combat the infection-for almost
every so-called "cOld" Is caused by an
infectious germ.
The most sane and effectual method
Of treating children's colds is by the
inhaling of steam, plain or indicated,
and by the application of mustard or
some other equally good cOunter-irri-
tant. The steam lubricates and soothes
the irritated and infiamed passages
which lead down into the lungs, as
well as the air cells of the lungs them
selves. The mustard paste affords re-
lief by drawing the blood from the
congested air cells In the lungs to the
surface of the skin. Either one of
these methods is more sure and acts
more quickly in giving relief than any
treatment with drugs. - Mariana
Wheeler In Peoples Home Journal.

SHOE CONSERVATION

W. H. Kelley, a lumber salesman, of
Omaha, found Neolin Soles so tough
and durable that one pair of soles
served on a second pair of uppers
after the first pair of uppers had worn
out in ten months of hard walking.
And he says, Those same soles will
stand another ten months of constant
daily wear"
This is unusual service even for
Neolin Soles but Mr.. Kelley's expert
ence should indicate to you q method
of cutting down those rising shoe bills
YOU have to meet. Simply make sure
the new shoes you buy are Ne6lin-
soled and have worn shoes repaired
with these soles which are scientifically
made to be comfortable, waterproof
and exceedingly long-wearing. They
are made by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio. who
also make Wingfoot Heels, guaran-
teed to outwear any other heels.

SPOILED BIG WEDDING FEAST
How Ex-cerman Emperor Upset Din
ner on Which Herr Balm Had
Spent Much Money.

Herr Ballin was noted for the ex-
travagant dinners which he gave on
great occasions, says the Edinburgh
Scotsman. Probably the most magnifi-
cent of all was that which he arranged
to grace the wedding Of the kaiser's
daughter to the duke of Brunswick.
The floral decorations alone cost $10,-
600, the dinner worked out at about
SIS a plate, and the wines at about
$50. But the dinner, from Herr Bal
Inns point of view, was a failure, for
the kaiser and kaiserin, who were to
have been present, sent word in the
afternoon that they could not come;
and it was in their honor, of course,
that Herr Balm had spent his thou
sands on the banquet. One of his
servants has said that when Herr Bal
lin received the message that the en-
peror could not come, he flew into a
tremendous rage. He sent for his
butler, and ere the man had reached
Herr Ballin's study, his master shouted
out to him '"The emperor cannot come
to dinner tonight-put the whole show
off !" and then slammed the door. The
butler did not know exactly what to
do. To put OFF so important guests as
were to be present was, Of course, an
impossibility but no one in the house
hold dared to approach the master OF
it to suggest this. However, at about
5 o'clock Herr Balm had sufficiently
recovered his temper to come down.
stairs and give some necessary direc-
tionS about the banquet.
