Last night a unique Halloween so- ¢ial was given in the basement of the Methodist church by the members of . “:g Epworth league. The decora- —= tlons, program and amusements were all in conformity with the occasion. The feature of the evening was the ‘“‘witch’s den,” which was constructed in one of the anti-rooms. Miss Gladys Getchell in a “witch’s” cos- tume presided in the den and Miss Alice Witting in a ‘“ghost” costume blindfolded the guests and lead them into the den. In the center of the \ den was a large iron cauldron filled ‘Wwith peanuts which had been opened, the kernels removed and in their place fortunes had been placed, which revealed the past and foretold the ure to anyone adventuresome il ough to try their luck. Other alloween ‘“‘stunts’” were also played "~ “and just before refreshments were ¥ gerved all the lights were turned out | and ghost stories told. Black cats, jack-o-lanterns and other Halloween emblems were used il in decorating the basement of the k Baptist church last evening when the | members of the B. Y. P. U. enter- | tained at a Halloween social. The I evening was spent in playing progres- sive Halloween games, ten tables be- I ing used, with four people at each s table. Among the games played were N — peanut punch, picture puzzles, apple thread, raisin thread, bobbing for ap- f ples, paring apples to see who got the i longest parings, picking up peanuts | from the floor "with a jack knife, i picking up beans out of a bowl with . | chopsticks and guessing the number it of kernels on a cob of corn. A Hal- loween lunch was served at the close f, *_ of the evening. \'qusday, Oct. 31, will be All Hal- | low’s Eve, or as we used to say, Hal- | lowe’en. The night when youth and etherial spirits hold sway, when lov- ';, ers make up their quarrel and plight i their troth. The night that ‘the § | | | ghosts are presumed to play fantas- tic tricks on we poor mortals of this mundane sphere. This day is one that has authority of great age, it having been developed in the ancient pagan days when Rome ruled the world. The custom arose from the worship of fire. In the fall it was || the custom to light all of the house- j hold fires from the sacred fire and this custom soon was set for a cer- !l tain day. When the Christian cal- ‘.\._-eg‘dat was established this date was | male All Saints Eve. | Rev. J. H. Randahl, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church, left this afternoon for McIntosh and Hill River.

The members of the high school faculty and the Senior class were en- | tertained by the students of the nor- COALAUE0AL PHONE 100 | mal department last evening in the Central building. The rooms were decorated with festoons of black cats, black witches, jack-o-lanterns’ and other Halloween decorations, and the guests were received at the door by a “ghost.”” Miss Vernice Voltz, in a witch’s costume had charge of the “witch’s” den and the ‘‘witch’s cauldron,” where the guests had their fortunes told.

One of the most extraordinary and fantastic Christian places of worship in the world is the Cathedral of Mos- cow, known as Vasili Blajennl, strange not only in outline and coneeption, but even stranger in its history. No one knows the architect's name, but the story goes that the czar or- dered his eyes to be put out directly the church was completed, 8o that he should never be able to surpass his work. The idea of the building was inspired by the wickedest and maddest mon- arch who ever sat on a throne—Ivan the Terrible, czar of Muscovy. The architecture 18 in every respect extravagant and barbaric, and the col- oring i8 garish in the extreme. It has |, nine chapels, roofed by nine cupolas, each different and each stranger than the other. One resembles a pineapple, another a melon, a third is said to ape a hedgehog in its appearance, and the rest are more or less grotesque. Some are gllt; others are painted in brilllant hues, Indeed, the only description is that it 1s a nightmare of a church, the fit- ting legacy of a ruler who grilled his counselors in frying pans and clothed his subjects in bearskins in order that trained dogs might worry and tear them to pieces.—Strand Magazine. Keepinglourself Well HOW YOU GET SICK Sometimes you overload your stomach with™ rich foods. our life may be an active one, and thus you may care for all you eat. But a few days of inactivity show your system does not call for so much. You awake in the morning tired. Your body feels heavy; you know you are not up to the mark. Your digestion has not cared for the overload, Part of it remains. It generates gas that inflames the delicate linings, They fail to pour out the digestive fluids and neglect to absorb the life-giving elements. You know something is wrong. Your body gets weak, and soon opportunity i8 offered for some se= vére illnes, Taken in time, the indigestion would not become serious.
