Judge Watters is the originator

ductivfr of great good,, and in; fact
has already borne good fruit. The
judge is superintendent of the Meth
odist Sunday school, and a week
ago he called the attention of the
school to the habit of some people
in carelessly throwing? fruit peel
logs oif thBsidewalkav'-where they
are a menace to the safety of the
public, .The papijs were requested
to keep a lookout during: the next
week, and kick, all such peelings
into the butter, keeping count, of
the number so disposed of. The re-
oit was made to Judge Watters
Sunday morning, and was a revels
lion to'him, although' he bad ex
oec! ed good Jesuits,- ; Every pupi
had been. "kicking," no one baying
kicked of lees than 17 peelings from
the walks, .while one young girl
had 95 of the good deeds to her
credit. Many pupils bad 5 marks
and the" V5tal uumberfc'ipeacUed ma

folks; will not only keep a lookout
on other ;people, but will be careful

EAT WHAT YOU LIKE.
Don't Starve or Diet, bat Use Mi-o na.
and Cure Your Stomach Troubles.
The average treatment of stomach trou
bles Consist of a rigid diet list, which
often starves the patient. Of course it
would be foolish for any one who know
that some, foods are positively hartnfil
and poisonous to continue eating them,
even while following the Mi-o-na treat
ment, but in ordinary cases of stomach
troubles it is not necessary to starye or1
diet if Mi-o-na .is faithfully used, a tablet
before each meal. " . .
This scientific remedy, for the cure of
eiotnacn -.roubles, acts upon the whole
digestive system, and strengthen? the or
gans so that they are able to digest any
food that is eaten without fear of distress.
If you suffer from loss of aDoetite. belch
ing of gases, sour taste in the mouth,
furred tongue, severe pains in the region
of the stomach, depression of spirits, bad
dreams, lack of energy, a stomach cough,
offensive breath, headaches, back aches,
loss of strength and weight, you can be
assured that these troubles are all due to
imperfect digestion.
Strengthen the stomach by taking a
Mi-o-na tablet before each meal, and
seon you will gain in - weight, strength
win return, tau your iooa will give uour
ibhment so that the rich red blood will
carry good health to every part of the
system. "' : '

FIRST USE OF TEA.

By whom or when the use of teaser

U lost in antiquity. It Is spoken of as
a famous herb In Chinese literature, as
fur back as 2,000 years B. C, at which
time Its cultivation and classification
wore almost as thorough and complete
i:s they are today. One of the ancient
Is-Kends says that Its -virtues were ac-
ci lentally learned by -King Shen Nnng
i '.ie, the Chinese monarch who is also
known as "the divine husbandman.'

The liquid which he expected to- cerne
from the Vessel simply -. as- sterilized

an elixir of life by the accidental , ad

became highly esteemed In all .the -ori

gift from the Chinese monarcbs to the
