"They are going—ever going— Out of pain and into bliss— Out of sad and sinful... weakness Into perfect holiness." Mr. Lewis A. Young, second son of Prof. A/ L. and Mrs. Lou zanie Young, (hut another now de ceased) took hti flt&lRifrom< time into eternity on’Skturday evening, October 2oth, 1917/ Mr. Young was a student of Biddle University: and .a member of the Junior Cbllege class. On account of ill health,' he was com pelled to relinquish his studies last March and return home. Since then, notwithstanding medical attention, he grew weak er and weaker until the end came. The deceased was a little over nineteen years old, and had been a consistent member of Spring S{. Presbyterian church for ten years. It was remarkable how patiently to bore his sickness, and how thoughtful he was to be a source of as little trouble as possible to the bther members of the family. '-4 As w|U9 said of him at the fune ral services at the Spring St Presbyterian church, conducted by Rev. I* E. Fairley, D. D., pas tor, he was especially loved by all who knew him, and to the extent that he was a “favorite” exhibit ing the firace and qualities that justified the same. In the nome, he , was a lover and adjuster of domestic affairs. , In the prayer meetings, Christian ^Endeavor ejcercises and Sabbath School, he was thoughtful, willing and active. No one could doubt his religion and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ Two weeks before his death, when his sisters, leaving for Sco tia Seminary, bade him adieu, he advised them not to forget their hotee training. Rev. Fairley seemed to be at his best and made very pointed and impressive remarks from Revela tions 13:14 to a^rowded, house of friends assembled to jrespect and view the deceased. Rev. M. C. Ransom, of the Olive Branch Bap Pdjjjorch, assisted Bev. Fairley {to ceremony, While Rev, Ransom-made tilt invocation at the beginning of the ceremony, all *ere impressed, no doubt, with a feeling of solemnity mingled with hope and life. , The floral designs were large, varied, and beautiful, expressive of the. high esteem in which the deceased was held.’J Late (pi 8unday evening, they laid aB that was left of ^Lewis'' in the grave to await that solemn event when the lea shall yield Up its dead. * ' . ■. The deceased leaves a father, stepmother, five brothers, three sisters, and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Among the out* of-town friends who attended were Misses Lola Cooke and sister, Carrie Dunston, and Mr W, Bibbieof Franklinton. “0, let me go! • Death shall not there dissever Our loving hearts; Rivers of pleasure flow ", At God's right hand forever: * V “0, let me go!” At P.

In passing days of our lives, when the fires of passion have been well burned out; when we have come face to face with the vicissitudes of life and find out that we have either won or lost the battle, let our best friends be books, observes a writer in the Mem phis Commercial-Appeal. We can commune with them so long as we please, and when we are tired, we can shut them up. This is more than we can do with out friends of the human family.

Do JOB know— That every bit of uneaten cereal can be used \o thicken soups, stews or gravies? That stale bread can. be used as the basis for many attractive meat dishes, hot breads and desserts? That every ounce of, skim milk or whole milk contains valuable nourish ment? v Government food experts are asking these questions of all housewives. Use every drop of milk to drink or ' to add nourishment to cereals, soups, Sauces and other foods, they urge. If you do not want milk to sour, keep it cool, dean and covered continually. Remember, too, that sour milk, butter* milk and sour cream are valuable In cookery, so do not waste any. Sour milk and buttermilk can be used with soda In making hot breads, or sour milk can be tv ned easily Into cotfhge cheese, cream cheese, or clabber. Sour cream is a good shortening In making cakes and cookies and useful for salad dressing and gravies for meat Drug Store Latin.

Edward Jonas, now a farmer Is Orange county, but formerly a resident of this dty, was visited by bis brother, Benjamin F. Jones of North Pennsyl vania street Desiring to show the dty brother the beautiful scenery of Orange county, the country brother hitched Up the family nag and Invited the dty brother to get Into the spring wagon. The dty brother firmly declined. "No, Edward," said Benjamin, “not be hind that stack of bones. That's the . worst specimen of horseflesh I ever saw In my life." Some time later the Indianapolis brother paid another visit to the Orange county farmer. “Where,” he asked, “is that stack of bones you called, a horse?" he asked. “Dead, I ,:4 suppose." “I—I sold him," said the country ...• brother. , * “Ton sold him I For goodness sake, how much dld you get for him?

MAKES FLAG OUT OF METAL lews Man Designs On* Which la De clared Satisfactory Substitutes for Silk er Bunting. <• Because flags of silk or bunting, no r matter how good the' material, will J eventually become faded and torn In ' spite of the best eare, a resident' of Boone, la., has designed a metal flag which has proved a very satisfactory substitute. It is not angular and in artistic as might be supposed, for the hollow tubing, special jrtre cloth, brass, tin and copper of which it is made are combined so • skillfully that V at a little distance it looks exactly like a cloth flag unfurled by a mod erate breeze. The wire doth is used In such a way that' it allows the wind to pass through It, thereby reducing the wind pressure. In spite of the materials used, it is comparatively light An American flag of this sort flies from the top of a tall bank build ing in Boone, and it has been found to possess many advantages over a doth emblem. It needs to be taken down hut once in two or three years to receive a fresh coat of paint and re mains gracefully unfurled even jrhen thartta'howtod^ & j; lyueii Food* In Small Bui ra?' sr^-mr. - Tmrr- rc*- ■ '"• ,_a- >■- -v». bread 4s not available, is supplied' with what he calls “dog biscuit.*’ It looks like just that, being a thick cracker four inches square and weighing .three ounces.

Boscoe Boone, a Muncie electrical contractor, went home late the other , afternoon to find Mrs. Boone enter taining accompany of women at cards. .He had forgotten about the party and [besides it was the usual period of the day for him to remember about the l evening meal. j [ “Oh, Mr. Boone,” said one of. the guests as he stumbled upon the room filled with women, “did you come home to supper?” “Oh, no; not at all,” he replied gal lantly, even if .somewhat confusedly. “I just came home to see what time it was.”—Indianapolis News.
