The Seventh Day Adventlsts have been holding Interesting tent meetings near the West Ridge shaft In the North End this week. Competent authority states that this sect is Increasing large ly, and that while In England the observations of the Seventh Day has died out to a great extent, In America there Is a steady accession to the ranks. The Green Ridge Flats used to be considered, at times, an undesirable place, but since the Albright Avenue Mission was established by members of the Providence Christian Young People's Society Christian Endeavor, of ' the Christian church three years ago, there has been a gradual change for the better. Now adays, Sunday shool Is held every Lord's Day at 4 p. m. In the school house, and a series of undenomination al prayer meetings has been estab lished, meeting every Tuesday even ing from house to house.

A physician was summoned.but could not tell whether or not the boy's con dition was dangerous. The button, after sticking in the throat and chok ing Henry.passed down to the stomach. Social and PERSONAL OLF hns tnken as firm hold up on the leisure clnss of this re gion as upon the most Inde fatigable followers of out-door athletics in the great social centres of tho country. The nlrl who Is expert nt tennis natumlly considers her strength and nctlvlty of. first Im portance, nnd, believes that sho can easily excel her less muscular friends with golf, but It-does not trike her iong to realize that strength Is not so-great-ly to be desired In this game, and that although less violent 'thnn her favorite sport it Is more fascinating 'ns she be comes proficient In Its mysteries. The averago man of affairs past the age of twenty-five does not a a rule enter wildly Into the enjoyment of tennis, as it requires so much rnpldlty of move ment and frequently appears frivolous In his sight. Golf being more deliber ate, appeals to his quieter tastes. Tho same Is true of the lady of maturo years, who finds the-exerclse more sat isfactory In keeping down weight nnd Improving general health than even the wheel. As for the members of the younger set, everything Is "such fun" to them, nnd golf at tho present time offers rather more attractions than anything els It Is stated by those who nre sup posed to know thnt a person expert In base ball seldom becomes n good golf player, although the dexterity and quickness of eye necessary to tho for mer game are of great service In golf. This seems to be erroneous ns regards the position of shortstop, for our own J. H. Brooks makes a golf record hard to beat. The fact that golf is the outdoor sport of thl3 season is plainly proved by the number of new links being laid out In this region. Today at Crystal Lake, the Crystal Lake club will open the course just completed. It Is a fine ono of 9 holes, 200 yards apart. The first tee Is direct ly In front of Fern Hall. Tho links take a zlg zag course, the final tee being near the western front of the hall. The links have been laid out un der tht direction of Mr. T. H. Wat kins, who has been enthusiastic In the enterprise. Others interested are Mr. Atwood, proprietor of Fern hall; Messrs. Wagner, of Philadelphia; Frank Burr, Kimball and Shannon, of Carbondalo, and T. E. Jones, of this city. Work Is progressing on tho Hpks at the Country Club. It Is na1 .probable that the addition will te completed by tho middle of August. Great care Is being exercised that the course shall bo as perfect as possible.' The turf prom ises to be exceptionally fine. Considerable activity will soon be ob served In connection with the proposed tennis tournament. A capable commit tee has been selected which consists of the following: Messrs. P. B. Belln, Frank I. Linn, W. J. Torrey and C. H. Welles, jr. " These young men are all in touch with athletics, beyond the lo cal conllws and. the .tournament will be up toi date in uvery particular. It is expected that many out of town champions will enter and that the Sep tember events will be of great Import ance. The new greens committee consists of T. II. Watklns, Huntington, II. P. Simpson and A. H. Storrs. The recently appointed base ball and fcot ball committee consists of A. G. Hunt, chairman, J. H. Brooks and John Kemmerer. The captain of the base ball club Is J. H. Brooks; golf, T. H. Watklns. The captain ot tho football team is as yet undetermined. Mr. James Blair or Mr. Lawrence Bliss will probably lead the Country Club eleven to ylotory. The links at Glonburn over which Messrs. Belln, F. II. Jcrmyn, E. B. Jer myn, A. H. Storrs and other suburban dwellers play frequently are the source of much pleasure this reason to these gentlemen, their families and their friends. Mr. Huntington's score of 39 still looms up to beckon on the aspirants who long to write an eighteen holo record In less than three figures. It does not cost much to lay out golf links It you have the privilege of ground. Tho town cow Is almost as good as a law'n mower In preparing links upon which little expense must be placed. Given tolerably well ad apted grounda an excellent course of nine holes can be laid out for tho sum of $100. Such Indeed was the amount recently spent on grounds which are termed by all as very good Indeed. Preston Park is another resort which will doubtless have a course in the near future. Miss Louise M. Durland Is entertain ing her college friends, Misses Antoin ette Wiekham and Lucy Howell, both of Port Jervls, und Miss Graco Bird sail, of Scranton. On Wednesday even ing Miss Mary Tracy entertained with cards Ip their honor. On Thursday evening Miss Durland also entertained and on Friday night Mrs. J. D.

Children Fed on It Keep on Steadily-Growing. ; Gives Strength to. Overcome All Stomach Disorders. Diet That Excludes Every Chance of Diarrhoea. ' Infants "Not Doing Weir Soon Improve on. It. Babies must not stop eating greedily nnd growing steadily because of hot weather. ' If they do, mothers should tako alarm. Any Interruption , because ,o heat, loss of appetite or Iqdlgestlon, should compel the. Immediate 'atten tion of mothers to baby's f6dd. Th6ro is where the trouble lies. "' ' Every day of retarded growth Is a lasting setback In the child's develop ment. A week that docs not show a gain In weight and nlze Is lost and cannot be made up, as each day and night during these early years haa. its own allotted growth to answer for. Summer and winter alike, a healthy baby should show a decided grain, week by weak. ; During these Important first fewi years, when the child Is rapidly devel oping no pains should be spared to scure food of absolute purity and frutllclently nourishing to make sure ot complete and healthy growth. The purest, most nutritious and the mor.t easily assimilated Infant diet is lactated.food. ' A poorly fed baby may sometimes lncrense In weight and grow fat, but the flesh is flabby, the blood poor and thin, the skin white and the temper irritable. These are often the first symptoms of "rickets." By feed irg the little one lactated food, which Is declared by physicians to be the most perfect substitute for pure and healthful mother's milk, these symp toms are easily avoided. Too many Infants are literally starv ed because the mother's food does not agree with them, and some mothers are obstinately foolish enough to cling to breast milk when they perceive Its insufficiency. When Infants throw up their milk or when they are not keeping up their strength, especially during the hot weather, It is plain there Is trouble with the food. Children "not doing well," when fed with this splendid nutriment gradually cry less and less; their sleep becomes sound by night, nnu by day they are bright and noisy and happy. Such Is the great differ ence between babies that are nourished by lactated food and those that are roorly, because improperly, fed. Lactated food has saved thousands of infant lives from cholera Infantum, colic and fatal diarrhoea. Physicians prescribe lactated food to be kept al ways on hand and used at once upon the first Indication of looseness, loss of strength, or If baby Is not eating1 well and growing on its present diet. Lactated food Is easily within the means of the humblest home In tho land. It Is just now a necessity In every, family, where there are young- chil dren. before in twenty years. He at present enjoys a lucrative practice in Now Yorlc city.

Becquerel, of TarH, who recently discovered the rays of uranium, has In the course of hlB ex periments come to tho very curlniM conclusion that this metal, and to a lesser extent Its salt, emits rays very similar to the Roentgen rays whlcit can pierce through opaque objecVs, nnd work the discharge of electrlo cur rents, nnd retain these properties even after they have been protected -many months from light visible to us. Some nitrates of uranium which Pro fessor Becquerel preserved under light tlpht covers since May 5 of last year were recently found to act unon a photographic plate as powerfully as tpfcio they were posed to light.
