The Primary Association of Plain City gave an entertainment in the school house of that place on the evening of April 18th, 1884. After the usual opening exercises were over the remainder of the evening was spent in singing-songrendering recitations and dialogues. Some of the most interesting exercises were two recitations, entitled, "Don't run in debt," and "Love, drink, and debt." Also two dialogues, one entitled, "Brandy Drops," and the other representing a discourse between a Mor- mon Elder and a minister; The eveningV tertainment was brought to a close by the performance of a short d rama, entitled wBoots at the Swan."

The following suggestions from , a diet list, such aa each patient under treatment in the Sanatorium receives from his physician, may be of service to thuse who are try ing to pursue the right way at home. :.- --.v Take no food whatever fruit included except at meal times. Eat slowly, and masticate all food thoroughly. Ten minutes more at meals may save a fit o of indigestion. Drink sparingly: never a verj cold Or very hot liquid. A swaJI(iW or twn of water, i us t before lea vincr the table. permissible; but neither ot nor cold water should be drunk freely wahin a half hour before or an half hour after meals. Good digestion depends largely upon mental conditions and influence?. It is promoted by light conversation and gentle exercise, but retarded by severe bodily or mental labor; study therefore to keep free from all mental or emotional excitement, before, during, and after meals, and avoid all fatiguing exercise immediately before or within an hour after eating. Choose only pleasant topics for conversation:: while at table. The discussion there of disease? is especially harmful and aunoying, to say nothing of being inconsistent with good breed- jng. Equally-il- l timed - and 4njuriou3 are and discussions at table concerning the relative value of different articles of food;-Bear in mind that it is possible to study your diet too closely, and to do great harm thereby. Avoid any tendency to count each mouthful of food, constantly to study the unpleasant effects produced by, the different articles eaten, or to let your mind continually dwell on what you ought to eat and what you ought not to eat. Men, as; a rule, eat too much; women too little. -- " . all-argu- you-hav- e The Laws vf. Life. DEATH OF SISTER EAHL.
