A well appointed
table is the ambition
of every hostess
Silverware, either pood plate or sterling, is the mark of a well
appointed tabic in a well appointed home.
Are your knivea and forks "worn at the heel"?
Do you pride yourself on your dress, your house furnishings, your
linen and china and skimp along on silver that is not in keeping with
your other standards?
A coffee service of five pieces and exquisite design in superlative
plate that will last the rest of your life can be had for the price of a good
chair or carpet.
It will light up and cheer your table every meal.
This shop makes a specialty of studying the quality, design and
values of all the silverware factories. We select the best and offer our
personal service. General stores cannot study and know this line as
the expert jeweler does. Our values are safe and lasting.

ment that the road would be built this

The funeral of Charles Francis

Masonic lodge and the officers of tho B.
P. O. Elks httended in a body. The
floral offerings were profuso and beau

Masonic order and the B. P. O. Elks.
Rev. J. C. Christie delivered the

vices at the grave. The pall boarors
were all members of the Knight's
Templar, of which Mr. Iddings was n
member. They were as follows: W.

Bratt. J. J. Holligan, ,V. H. McDon

" ' Tho Dridal Veil.
The brldnl veil Is evidently of enst
ein origin, being n relic of the bridal
canopy held over the heads of the
brldo and bridegroom. Among the Anglo-Saxons
a similar custom cxlHtcd,
but If the bride was a widow It was
dispensed with. According to Sanun
usage, a lino linen cloth was laid upon
the heads of the brldo and bridegroom
and was not removed until the bene
diction find been said. Tho old British
custom wan to use nature's veil un
adorned that la, tho long hair of the
bride, which was ho worn by all brides,
royal, noble and simple. Only then
did every one behold the tresses of
maidenhood in their entirety and lor
the last time, as after marriage they
were neatly dressed on the head.
Among some iho tresses were cut and
carefully stowed away 011 n woman
becoming a wife. It was customary
In Russia for village brides to shear
their locks on returning from church.

Trees and tho Soil.
Tho soil Is a resource of priceless
value. Its formation on rocks Is ex
ceedingly slow. According to Profes
sor J. Bowman, many glacial scratches
that were made on rock during the hist
glacial period, between 00,000 and 7.V
000 years ago, are still as fresh as If
they had been made only yesterday.
Yet since tho glaciers thus recorded
themselves man has come up from the
envo and the Htonn hammer. Seventy
thousand years is a very short time
for tho development of u soil cover.
For man It means a period so great
that the mind can hardly grasp It. The
cutting off of the trees exposes tho
soil so that the ruin lien Us upon It. and
since It lias lost the protection that
the roots nnd the litter on the ground
afforded the soil Is soon washed away.
In fifty years a single lumber mer
chant can deprive the race of soil that
required 10.000 years to form-. Youth's
