Methodist Episcopal Church.

Easter Sunday services were great
ly appreciated by large audiences
morning, afternoon and evening. Inc
church was most hastily and approp-
riately decorated. Many said they had
never seen a church more so. Groups
of people visited the church in the
afternoon and evening just to see the
floral arrangement.
The cantata in the morning was en-
inently successful and inspiring.
The Knights Templar Easter ser
vice in the afternoon was very i'm
pressive indeed.
The evening service was the story
of Christ's life and resurrection. The
words and music were well rendered
and especially the part of Angel by
Mrs. Parke Knapp.
Our thanks are extended to all who
took part. We are sure all were
greatly repaid as the result was SO
gratifying.

"ONLY-CHILDITIS"

German physicians have coined apt name for
chdens ament which has not been clearly recognized
in the past 1t is onychlditis the state of being the
only child in the family.
The symptoms set forth by Berlin doctor, are
these Supersensitiveness selfshness, shyness ill
temper and inability to play and find amusement Lat
and gloominess apt to develop, with
tendency to broodng.
1t is really disease he says and far general
than most people suspect Teachers, physicians and
governesses have to deal with it continually and it is
difficult to treat than disorders that are
clearly defined
The obvious and natural remedy is brothers and
sisters. children says the Psalmst, "are gift
from the Lord Happy is the that hath his culver
full of then.'' A single in quiver is melan-
choly sight There is nothing good for a child
another child in the family. Perhaps this is the best
argument there is against race-suicide. q : ~

SILVER DOLLARS

The government is trying to get rid of its silver
dollars, of which it has too many in the treasury 1t
is also trying to the expense of cleaning paper
money So it is paying silver out to public employees
in Washington, IN meeting the weekly payrolls.
This is heroic remedy which may or may not
succeed Washington is essentially an eastern city,
and the East has never been friendly to the cart
Wheel Western representatives at Washington NAV
take to the practice with pleasure but the East will
insist being shown that the advantages of toting
around pocket full of solid silver instead of weight
less paper are greater than the disadvantages.
The West may maintain that paper never looks
like real money and always liable to slip out of ones
pocket or blow away in wind, and that silver is far
more cleanly and hygienic 1t has certain pride
too IN silver being local product For these reasons
western men and women still willing to endure the
weight of the stuff But metal coins larger than
quarter not likely to become popular in the East
unless Uncle Sam takes to minting aluminium. Itsis
hard even to get gold into circulation in the eastern
states, with all its lure to the eye

Pmladel z mint soon will be max
ing for roland approximately So
000,000 worth of zlotties, new Po-
lish coin, equivalent to 1913 cents in

Only once before has the United

turned within a month, accompanied
by a contract for the production of
the coins.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
DOLLS EYES

Susie Littletail, the cute rabbit
girl, who was sister to Sammie,
hoped over the seashore sandy
beach to the driftwood bungalow of
Uncle Wiggily Longears. The rab-
bit gentleman was, just starting out
to seek for an adventure.
ooh, Uncle Wsggiiy! Uncle Wig
gily!" creid Susie. "Lookl Seel
Ism 7 it terribIe!' She held out
her doll toward Mr.. Longears.
The rabit gentleman tilted his
head to one side, shook a little sand
off one paw, smiled and said:
" I'm, yes Susie. guess she is
terribly pretty, if that is what you
nlean.' said Uncle Wiggily. "Only
wouldn I use such a word as ter.
ribly.' If were you. You
shouldn't say your doll is terribly
pretty! 1t isn't good form" "
81 didn't say she was terribly
pretty and by this time Susie was
sobbing.
"Then perhaps you meant she had
on a terribly pretty dress" proceed
ed the bunny gentleman. "That is
almost as bad. The red dress on
your doll is quite stylish, l would
say, but hardly terribly pretty"
ooh, you don't understand at

GARDEN AND GOLF

John Coolidge the Presidents son. spending his
vacation at his grandfather's home in Vermont,
invited the other day to go and play golf with
friend at Woodstock
my father has me pulling weeds in the garden"
replied John. Il don't play golf anyway. Come
and help with the weeds!'
Whether the friend came is not revealed, but it
good advice The President in ordering his to pull
weeds is doing what lot more fathers ought to be
doing for their And the son, in acquiescing is
unntentionally setting fine example.
One of the things needed in this country is more
weed-puing by the boys 1t wouldn't hurt their faith
ers much, either, though it's hard to convince men
nowadays that exercise in the garden is healthful
as exercise the golf links The successful business
or professional man usually has an idea that
else is good for him unless it costs him money

TEA Us. BEER

Testimony to the superiority of tea beer is
obtained from where it would be least expect
ed A German institute for research in human food
made comparative tests of the two beverages
They found that pint of ordinary Munich beer
increased mental activity for about 20 minutes, after
which there was period of noticeable depression last
ing twice as long The gain in efficiency from beer
they concluded was les sthan nothing. After cup of
tea the drinkers mental capacity rose about 10 per
cent for three-quarers of hour then subsidized to
normal without leaving any bad effects.
Thousands of observing persons, no doubt, have
discovered the fact for themselves but it is we'll
to have expert corroboration of their conclusions
Theodore Roosevelt remarks in of his books, that
in his early life he occasionally resorted to whisky
stmulant when exhausted by outdoor exercise, but
soon abandoned the practice when he found that tea
was far more satisfactory

and the bunny gentleman put the
bottle Of glue on flat stump near
by The bottle of glue tipped over
while Uncle Wiggily was working,
but he didn't mind that.
Then, all of a sudden, when the
doll s eyes were almost glued back
in her face, the old Sea Lobster
came crawling alond, bowling:
= L want to nibble some ears! -
=" Just sit down on that stump un-
til | finish fixing Susie's doll, and
maybe maybe,' said the bunny
slowly, you can nibble my ears
So the Lobter sat down on the
stump, where the bottle of glue had
upset. And he sat there and sat
there, until Uncle Wiggily handed
Susie her doll, with the eyes in as
good as ever. Then Uncle Wiggily
and Susie hoped up and ran off
down he path.
"Herel l thought you said
could nibble your ears!" howled the
Lobster.
II said MAYBE,'' laughed Mr..
Longears. Anyhow, if you want
them come and get theml" But
when the Lobster tried to get up he
couldn t, for he was glued fast to
the. stump. And there he had to
stay until after dark, when his wife
came with teakettle of warm wa

ROADSIDE TRAFFIC COURT

A newly opened stretch of very fine highway rum
ming west from Kansas City, Kans has presented the
usual temptation to reckless drivers and speeders. 1t
does not take very many selfish and careless drivers to
menace the safety of the vast majority of motorists
who are courteous in their driving
But the problem of the tempting new highway with
its road-hogs has been solved by local authorities. The
newly opened road is carefully patrolled and court is
held by the roadside Sundays that traffic offend
ers are brought to speedy justice
IT should be wholesome arrangement, making di-
rectv for safety to all of that particular road
and Indirectly for the safety OF many others, as the
needless ones are taught their strict lesson.
