from a wonderful old story, 1.-The Pill

up this pathway, therefore, did bur-
dened Christian run, but not without
great difficulty, because OF the load on
his back.
"He ran thus till he came at place
somewhat ascending; and upon that
place stood a cross, and a little below,
in the bottom. a sepulcher.

Christian came UP with the Cross. his
burden loosed from off his shoulders.
and fell from off his back, and began to
tumble, and continued so to do till it
came to the mouth of the sepulcher,
where 1t fell in, and / saw ii no more.

My Neighbor Says:

To remove fat from hot soup
pour the soup through cloth
that has been rinsed in cold
water. The fat will remain on
the cloth.
Always save scraps of all
kinds of soap, put them in a
jar and fill the jar with water.
1t is just as good as washing

If you rinse a plate with cold
water before breaking eggs on
it, add to them a pinch of salt,

Girl Scouts Meet

The girl scouts held an interest
ing meeting yesterday afternoon at
Maria Clark Grammar School. Three
new members were admitted to the
body. There are in al now six pa
trolls. The scouts reported that all
the candy had been sold, yielding a
small sum for the scout treasury.
1t was decided to have an all-day
hike Friday out to "Lerette." A pic
mic dinner will be taken. All girls
desiring to take the second class
scout test can do so at this time.
Various games and out-of door ac-
tivities are planned for the day.
1t was also decided to hold another
social some time during the coming
week. but the date was not definite
ly set. The social given some weeks
ago by patrol Number One was very
successful. The number of patrols
has grown very rapidly since the re-
organization of the girl scouts. and
a successful season seems assured.
