If one la to belie? the medical ex
amineri tbe reason a woman pays
more for tbe privilege of life insur
ance is tbat the is much more com
monly a victim of indigestion and
stomach troubles and the fatal ail
ments that spring from these causes.
It is not tbe acute attacks of disrate
that influence tbe insurance examiners
alone, but tbe constant feeling of
weakness, headache, indigestion and
stomach trouble. These things,
physicians say, kill more people than
many of tbe serious diseases.
For curative power in all stomach
trouble nothing else is as safe yet
effective, nothing elite can be so
thoroughly relied opon to relieve all
troubles of indigestion, as Mionu. It
is unlike any remedy heretofore un
known ; it is not a mete digestive tab
let ; it strengthen and restores to
natural action, the stomach aad
bowels and makes
oven the worst
troubles ;.

which wa furnished, and after that
the meu at the station did the rest.
The expenditure of f 12 by the city for
the seed represents the total outlay for
tbe magnificent ground surrounding
the station building.
Under Captain Wllmot the firemen
graded and planted tbe lawn aud
watched it so carefully that there l
perhaps not a better one In the city. In
frviut of the building they planted a
flower lied, In the form of a Maltese
croMS. It Is filled with foliage plants of
many hues, and In the center there la
a sum II century plant. Along the front
wall there Is n row of gladioluses aud
tutieroscs. solicited and received from
tho horticultural department at Wasb
Ingt mi. On the south side of the lot is
a hedge of sweet pens, ami on the mime
side a lurge bod of pansles. the gift of
the Turk Moral t-impaiiy, uml another
bed of geraniums.
The most extraordinary ami unique
features of the ilmnrailuiis are the
(lower stands devised by the men. I'nr
one of these uu Inverted sci tlun of a
tree trunk, with the spreading limbs
serving fur support, was used no top
of this an oMntii box w as plm ed, cov
ered with decorative work made from
small twigs. There ure six of these
Ix.xes In various patterns, and each
one represents an endless amount of
work niiil palleuce. The material nec
essary for their construction was all
gathered In the alleys and vucant lots
of the neighborhood. The completed
Nixes, tilled with doieus of varieties :
of plants ami trailing vines, are really

geraniums of many types, bluelvlls.
wandering Jews, pinks, nasturtiums
and small (topples
In addition to these then- are other
stands which are. if unything could lie.
even more strange In their origin. In
the alleys near the station the firemen
found two kitchen water tauks that '
had lieen deserted by their owners.
Strips were cut out of their sides and
rustle suports placed tietieuth them. I
They were filled with earth and (lowers
planted Inside. They have ,pilte lost
their homely Identity ami serve as
very attractive flower boxes, with long
strands of dallcate vines trailing from
their sides. Withal there Is much for
the men at the station to lie proud of,
for ordinarily a fire station Is not a
thing of leauty. but in this case the
uieu have tolled to such go.nl purpose
that there Is not a private lawn la

Overheard In a Georgia Kitchen.
Not long ago an old colored cook in
an Atlanta family was visited by one
of her friends, who had but recently
come from "dowu In de country,"
where both had been raised. The vis
itor was received with genuine darky
cordiality and glveu a comfortable cor
ner of "do white folks' kitchen." The
Atlanta cook asked all kinds of ques
tions as to what had bis-u "gwlne on"
dowu In her old borne, and among oth
er queries was:
"What's cum er Mainly what use ter
stay at Miss Willie's?"
"I.aw! Alu't you h'yeerd?"
No!"
"She In Jail."
"Hush!"
"Yutts, she Is."
"What fer?"
"I d'uo Jes' wnut fer, but de man

Individual Tree Planting on Streets.

lies In a good state law or town ordi
