A DAY OF 3UN8HINE. 0 gift of God; O perfect day; Whereon shall no man -work, but play; Whereon it is enough for me, Not to be doing, but to be! Through every fiber of my brain, Through every nerve, through every vein, 1 feel the electric thrill, the touch Of life, that seems almost too much I hear the -wind among the trees Playing celestial symphonies; I see the branches downward bent Like keys of some great instrument. And over me unrolls on high The splendid scenery of the sky, Where through a sapphire sea the sun Sails like a golden galleon. Toward yonder cloudland In the WCBt, Toward yonder islands of the blest, Whose steep Sierra far uplifts Its craggy summits white with drifts. Blow winds! and waft through all the rooms The snowflakes of the cherry blooms! Blow winds! and bend within my reach The iery blossoms of the peach! O Life and Love! O happy throng Of thoughts, whose only speech is song! O heart of man! canst thou not be Blithe as the air Is, and as free? Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

rich old Java Coffees that came from the Dutch plantations of the far East so rare nowadays. And it is absolutely free from "caffeine," the drug in coffee, which has proven harmful to many coffee drinkers. Instant Postum requires no boiling. Stir a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water; add cream and sugar to taste and instantly you have a rich food drink that is palatable and healthful. Many coffee drinkers find this new beverage a healthful and delightful variation from their usual cup.

Tins containing sufficient quantity for about ICO cups of Instant Postum cost 50 cents, at grocers. Smaller tins at 30 cents make about 50 cups. Coffee averages about double that cost.

FOR GUESTS. The "bridge party given this afternoon at the Country club by Mrs. Julian Cates and Mrs. Harry Lonts. in honor of Miss Mary Gaar, a June bride and Mrs. Norman Craighead, a recent bride, was such a ' gala occasion in spite of the rainstorms of the morn, ing. which divided it into two parts an alfresco affair and an indoor party, that it is to be hoped another affair of this kind will soon' be given at the club. The clubhouse was beautifully and artistically decorated for the occasion. In the living room pink peonies were used In decorating, the flowers adorn-

Beating the Undertakers' Trust or Reducing the Cost of Dying You may not be able to do anything to lessen the high cost of living, but it is your own fault if you do not see to it that the cost of dying is reduced. In other words, you may prevent the undertakers from taking from you a larger amount for cab hire, at your funerals, than is necessary to secure the best service, if you want to. I am trying to educate the people to an understanding of the unfairness that has been practiced on this community, for years. They are telling their patrons they can furnish cab service as cheap as Green," and to "wait awhile after Green sees you, as there is no hurry about the cabs. If they can furnish cabs "as cheap as Green, why haven't they done so? What is the need of "wait awhile' if they really intend to do the fair thing? When they realize I am going to get the business, then, and not until then, do they offer to meet my prices. How can the undertakers of this city afford such fine houses, automobiles, livery stables, and live so well? you ask. Ill tell you by taking from the people prices for cabs far in excess of what they pay the liveryman. Do not be deceived ! . Order your own cabs and be secure in the knowledge that you are not giving the undertaker a per cent for attending to business that should be left to the liveryman. I am thinking of going into the business of supplying pine boxes and cheap coffins, so that the poor man can afford to die. Then, I ask you, will they still offer to sell "as cheap as Green"? Think and act for yourself. Do not pay $4.00 and $5.00 for cabs on which the undertakers profit, when you can get the best in the city for $3.00 and $3.50 from me, and there is no rake-off.
