YOUNG WILL PREACH "GOOD-BYE" TO PORTLAND TODAY Pastor and Family Will Leave for Topeka Tomorrow Morning, While Plans in City Take Shape for Celebration of "Go-to-Church" Sunday. PRELIMINARY plans for the cele bration of "fro to church" Sunday have secured the attention of several of the leading- ministers of the. city this past week. Anions th-5 Catholic and Episcopalian churches the Lenten services are looked forward to, as Ash Wednesday will soon be here and the days of devotion and meditation will commence. The approaching; departure of Dr. Benjamin Young, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Twelfth and Taylor streets, has been the sub ject of universal regret In church cir cles in Portland. Large congregations doutbless will attend all services today for his farewell sermons. In compliment to Dr. Young the j cnoir win give some or ur. xoungs favorite music today, the last Sunday that Dr. Young will be In Portland.

Young, a teacher In the Gresham High School; Craw ford Young, a student in the Wesleyan College at Middletown, Conn.; Paul H. Young and Lilian Faith Young, stu dents of Lincoln High School, and Ralph Young, a pupil at Ladd School. Each has a wide circle of riends among those who will miss the family. The women of the First Methodist Church are planning a reception for Rev. and Mrs. Frank Lafayette Love land who will arrive In Portland on the evening of February 26. A party of members of the church will gather at the depot to greet them. Of Dr. Loveland Dr. Young says: "He Is, I am sure, a man of splendid ability, and will make a success of his work. From a leading railroad man of the country I have received this tribute to Dr. Loveland's fitness: He is one of the most brilliant platform orators and one of the most able men in the country."

Since assuming his duties last October he has been the means of largely increasing the membership of the church. The Ladles' Aid Society of the Clatskanie Church greatly aids the pastor. It has subscribed 585 towards fitting up the basement and is working for $500. With the Installation of the fine new pipe organ in the Universalist Church at Broadway and East Twenty-fourth streets the entire service has bedn en riched and made, more impressive. The chorus choir enter singing a proces sional and chant the responses with the pastor In a reverent manner. Un der the direction of Miss Trotter, the leader, they have learned the service) quickly and are fast becoming familiar with many chants and responses. The growing congregations have ex pressed great pleasure at this enrich ment of the services and are fast learning to participate in the new or der.

AT the Sunday School Institute held recently Professor E. C. Knapp outlined the Colorado plan for Bible study in the public schools. Thi3 plan grew out of a plan followed In the Teachers' College at Greeley, Colo. A Biblical course for their students was prepared and offered" as an elective course with the provision that the teaching was to be done in the Sunday schools and churches and the examina tions to be given in the college. No one was required to take the work unless he wished to and then he was taught in a Sunday school in hi own church or if the Sunday school in his own church did not give work of a high enough standard to enable him to pass the examination, then he could get the instruction directly from hi3 pastor or from anyone competent to give It The plan worked so well that the State Teachers' Association at its meeting November 26, 1913, took up the plan and recommended that an elective course In Bible study be intro duced Into the high schools of the state. According to their recommendations, the course will be a four-year course, the pupils receiving one-fourth credit for each year satisfactorily completed. The teaching Is to be done in the Sun day schools or by the pastors and the examination to be taken in the high school. This plan eliminates the difficulties that have stood in the road for the adoption of Bible study, for In the first place no one is required to take It; sec ond, .each pupil Is taught according to the doctrines of his own church. The Jew need study only the Old Testa ment, the Catholic studies the Douay version and the Protestant the King James. The examination deals only with Bible facts, all sectarian ques tions being eliminated. Holy Rosary Church Is Pre paring for Lent. Father Kelly Hopes That All Mem bers of the Parrlsh Will Be Faith, fill In Devotions. AT the Holy Rosary Church, Third and Clackamas streets, the Lenten services will no doubt be well attend ed. Rev.

The Baptist churches of Portland celebrated the 100 th anniversary of the establishment of mission work in Burma by Adoniram Judson, by holding a mass meeting at the White Temple on Friday night. Dr. E. A Woods gave an Inspiring talk, and Dr. W. O. Shank reviewed the life and struggles of the pioneer missionary.

St. Stephens Is Active in Church Work Pro-Cathedral Ha Interesting; His tory Many Men to Be Seen at Sunday Services. ONE of the active Episcopal Churches of Portland Is St. Stephens' Pro Cathedral located at Thirteenth and Columbia streets. The sermons de livered here are always full of strength and are most helpful. A distinctive feature about this church is tha large number of men to be seen at every service. The history of this church is very Interesting. St. Stephens' Pro-Cathedral was founded In 1864 by Right Rev. T. F. Scott, the first Bishop of Oregon. Dur ing the lifetime of that prelate the ser vices were maintained intermittently. When Bishop Morris came to Oregon, St. Stephens' became the chapel of St. Helen's Hall and its chief work was in connection with that Institution. St. Stephens' . became independent about 1904 and since that time its growth has been fairly rapid, increasing in membership from less than 100 to more than 400. With the advent of Bishop Scadding there was a change of stand ing from "the Bishop's chapel" to the Pro-Cathedral. In the past nine years It has advanced from the sixth parish In rank to the second in the Episcopal diocese. The dean is Rev. H. M. Ramsey, a son of Judge Ramsey, of the Supreme Court, and a native of Oregon. He is a graduate of Pacific University at Forest Grove and was a graduate stu dent at the University of California, at Columbia University, New York, and at the universities of Leipzig and Mar burg in Germany. Before coming to Portland he was assistant at St. Ste phens', New York City, and has had charge -of St. Paul's, Rome, Italy. The lay members of the chapter, or governing board, of the Pro-Cathedral are: E. F. Barbour, R. J. Brock, B. O. ijase, j. j. r-anter, w. Pnllllps, A H. Pope and H. D. Ramsdell. A feature of special excellence is the chorus choir under the direction of Carl Denton, who is also the organist. The congregation has an active brotherhood of St. Andrew, whose duty is personal service among men. The officers are: A. C. Newlll, G. B. Hooley and R. C. Coltart. The oldest of the women's societies Is the Guild, officered by Mrs. E. T. C. Stevens, Mrs. Herbert Holman and Mrs. L. S. Franck. The Woman's Auxiliary, a mission ary society, has an excellent record in the diocese. Mrs. G. G. Mayger, Mrs. Burton O. Case, Mrs. R. Warrack and Mrs.-V. R. Finch are in charge. Similar in aim to the Brotherhood among the men, the church has a chap ter of the Daughters of the King, un der management of Miss Macauley, Miss Boyd and Mrs. Eberle. St. Elizabeth's Guild for young men works chiefly for the poor. Miss Char lotte Banfield is president. Miss Yerex, secretary; Mrs. Ralph Hahn, treasurer, and Miss Reed, work director. Among the Episcopal churches, the Pro-Cathedral has been unusually ac tive in work among the poor and in missionary affairs. The proportion of men at services and their activity In the parish have often excited favorable comment. Lately the men of the con gregation have been feeding the un employed on Saturday nights, serving on an average looo men a night. W. C. T. U. Notes V ULTNOMAH County Woman's I "christian Temperance Union has had 50,000 slips printed urging -men to register.

BY JANE EDDINGTON. ALL digestion is a chemical pro cess. Our newest and best food doctors or specialists are biologi cal chemists when they are most high ly accomplished. There is really noth ing more needed by men and women than some slight knowledge of how they chemically behave. A sour stom ach Indicates bad - chemical behavior, due to pure ignorance or real misfor tune through the ignorance of others. There are certain chemical substances which go together with a clash. There Is a loud report. If the report goes out from a glass test tube instead of from the bore of a gun, the tube Itself flies to atoms and the one who has put the two things together Is likely to suffer serious Injury. See the moral? Two substances might go' together with a clash which might be of service if they were put together to secure protection from a wild ani mal. If put together or shut up to gether under some other circumstances there is likely to be loss and even explosive- and serious damage. There are substances which may form a part of any number of other combinations and produce no harm. It does not prove that a substance is bad or destructive or unworthy of any civ ilized use because a disastrous effect can be produced with Its help. Sufferers from indigestion, from obesity, from so-called, biliousness, etc., are likely to exclude this or that from their diet and go to painful lengths in self-denial on one side, while indulg ing themselves on some other. Just be cause they have combined two clashing foods in the alimentary system. In these matters they are sometimes, through lack of knowledge and ten dency to self-indulgence, like the man who cheats himself at solitaire. In what were perhaps more super stitious days than ours, tradition grew up around certain food combinations which were chemically bad. Experience showed quickly that they were, but wisdom did not come In to teach suf ferers that, while some combinations produced almost instantaneous disas trous results, other combinations pro duced slowly evil results, in which case not only was the food wasted and worse, but actual injury to health done. For instance, little children were brought up In the mighty fear that If they ate cherries and drank milk on the same day they would surely die. In consequence they went to bed after a day of surreptitious Indulgence in cherry eating, followed by a supper of bread and milk, which they dared not leave untouched, confidently expecting that they would never see the light of another day. . Dietetic Delusions Told. An excess of cherry acid or any other acid In a stomach that produces some acids Itself (a great deal In some indi viduals) will clabber milk too hastily for physical comfort. An excess of acid will in exaggerated cases clabber every thing and produce a form of distress that is so great as to lead to uncon sciousness. We should know something of the behavior of tbe foods we put Into our stomachs, not only that we may keep them down, but that every gram of nutrition in them shall be utilized. Food Losses in Cooking;. Digestion experiments show how ful ly different foods yield their value, but In common practice these foods In many cases do not yield more than half what they might. We make stockrooms of our food laboratories, rather than start successful experiments to going oft in them. There are certain food losses in cook Ing which vary according to our skill as cooks, but these are necessary In order that food may be made more dl Mrs. Mary Morton, who told of the early life of Miss Willard.

Meat which is overcooked is rendered less digestible than that which is Just right or even underdone. By ordinary methods the loss In cooking meat amounts to from 10 to 50 per cent. The fat is melted out. The proteids are coagulated by heat. There is great loss when meat- is roasted at a high tem perature. When vegetables are cooked some of the starches and all of the sugar may be dissolved, but the loss is greatest when they are cut in small pieces and the water in which they are cooked is thrown away. A study of physiological chemistry will show similar losses in that other form of food preparation called eating. Idaho Barley Brings $1 a Sack. WARREN. Tdnhiv TT.h 21 ISnai-lil At Cottonwood.

Spread on Chest and Shoulders. So Hot Made Him Fretful. Cuti cura Soap and Ointment Cured. Fowler, Colo. "My son was troubled with eczema from birth so I could not wash him. A red rash came out on his face and arms and spread around on the chest and shoulders. Then in a few days It seemed to be like small blisters but so hot it made him fretful. When it was the worst he could not sleep only a little while at a time. I had heard of the Cuticura Soap and Oint ment so I tried them. I would put the Cu tlcura Ointment on and it seemed to cool and ease the burning. While he was still I would bathe him with Just warm water with the Cuttcura Soap. I continued this until he was a year old or more and he was cured.'! (Signed) Mrs. H. Cradlt. May 15, 1913. BROWN SCALE COVERED HEAD Lyons. Ore.
