Another ridiculous food fad has

PEELED the silly notion that one
kind Of food Is needed for brain,
another for muscles. and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular
part of the body. but 1t will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, Its nutri-
ment Is DESTROYED by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their

The Maccabee INSTALLATION.

The Knights and Ladies of the
Maccabees are among the most pop
ular organizations In the Ct y.
Whenever any entertainment is an
nounced by either Of them, there IS
always full house and a pleased
audience. Tuesday night was no
exception, 1t being the occasion
of the annual installation OF the Of
6cers elected by the two societies
for the ensuing year. The installa
ton was public and joint, both
lodges Inducing into Office their
officers the same evening before
the same audience.
The meeting was called to order
by Sir Knight Commander w. S.
Mccoy, who turned it over to the
Ladies' of the Maccabees who first
preceded with the installation
ceremonies. They were In charge
of Lady Weller, assisted by the
Maccabee Guards and were most
interesting. The work was finely
executed. comforting great credit
both upon the Installing officers
and guards. No more beautiful
installation ceremonies had been
seen than those of the Ladies, aud
the manner In which the ladies of
Sistersville executed their various
parts showed good cause for the
presence In their lodge room OF the
prize banner of the State.
After the Ladies' installation, a
piano solo was acceptsbly rendered
by Miss Mabel Rodgers, allowed
by beautiful rendition of Calvary
by Mrs. Jos. Magner. When Mrs.
Magner's clear strong voice had
reached the end of the familiar
piece, a roar Of applause indicated
the pleasure of the audience.
The meeting was then turned
over to the Knights who proceeded
to the installation of their officers.
The work was done by Lieutenant
State Commander, F. J. Kellogg,
assisted by thhe Uniform Rank of
the Maccabees, and was done with
great credit to the lodge and to the
installing officer. The Uniform,
Rack Is one Of the favorite semi
military organizations of the city,
and under the command OF Captain
Backon was fully up to their usual
efficiency.
Then followed selections by the
Bell orchestra, piano solo by Miss
Mabel Quigley and recitation by
Mrs. Ben Castor, each one of which
was excellently rendered and re-
ceived generous applause.
After a few remarks by P. A.
Shanor, the climax of the evening
was reached In the Maccabee drill
by the Ladies. To the excellent
music Of Bells orchestra. the guards
executed the many difficult evolu-
lions of this drill with a precision
that showed careful AID efficient
training and conscientious prepara-
ton.
After tie drill, the audience ad
journed TO the Citizens Hose

TALES OUT OF SCHOOL.
By C. ].

TN THE nature of things, teacher
must suffer for born ounces. They
| i are inevitable; and, therefore, like
bad weather or other disagreeable
contingencies, they must be tolerated. But
| the thoughtlessness of parents who keep
| their children from school with little or
no reason is a different matter. They ex-
cuse themselves in the most extraordi-
nary epistles sometimes. of which the
| following is specimen:
i please excuse May. She caught cold
through getting her feet wet, and 1 must
get her another pair before she can come
| to school"
When Jessie Black returned after a long
absence she also bore a note from her
| mother. This lady, according to her own
| statement, had been laid UP with in
| formation in the back which necessitat-
| ed the girls presence at home. When, on
reading the letter. the teacher with the
best intention, no doubt, hoped Bessie
would take the same disease in her head,
he did not consider the consequences.
Next day Bessie rose before the whole
school and, on her mothers authority,
informed him of that lady's opinion OF
him. which was far from nattering AS
he had little to say in self-defence, or. at
least, failed to clear himself of the charge,
the other children went home with the
idea that he must be a very malevolent
person, indeed.
The wonderful diseases which afflict
schoolchildren often take the teacher
down, as in the following instance: Mag
gle Keen stayed away frequently with
neuralgia. On her appearance, after
few days absence, the teacher greeted
her with:
What, Maggie! Neuralgia again?"

ly; lit was not new-ralger, but the old
ralger, that never went away!'
In a certain town rumors went abroad
that an epidemic had broken out there.
Lizzie White lived in the street where
1t was said to have appeared. Lizzie was
away for week, but one morning she
entered the school with her eyes swollen.
When the teacher went to ascertain the
cause of her trouble she began crying, and
said:
1--WE have got something in our house,
SIR"
Indeed" said the teacher. drawing
back to avoid infection. Are any of you
laid up with it?'
Yes, sir; my mother"
Sorry to hear that. You must get
home at once"
Lizzie was on the point of saying. when
the teacher asked:
Has the doctor been?"

"Oh. it's boy!''

THE TRIBUTE OF DE GANG
By EDWARD F. COYLE.

TINE LOGGER on the third floor back
was dead-had been found so by
i the chambermaid as she went
singing about her work. Details
OF the incident furnished five minutes di-
version at the breakfast table, and,
though meagre, were ample enough to
satisfy the most curious of those into
whose midst the grim messenger had
come. II was sufficient to know that the
lodger was dead.
The landlady was out of sorts, for she
had rented him the third story back at
three dollars week, and had failed to
obtain payment in advance. But six dol
lars In small change was taken from the
pockets of the dead man when the cor
oner came, SO she had only to wait for
the usual legal formalities to get her
money. The coroner also found among
the mans effects a soiled and crumpled

four columns of editorial argument to ex-
tract this amount of generosity from the
business manager.
Tho funeral was from the boarding
house, and half dozen reporters, who
had worked with Billings, walked through
the blizzard-like weather and stood In
the cherries parlor to witness the last
sad rites. The boarders betrayed no in
terest in the proceedings. The undertake
er's black wagon stood before the door,
the horses covering in the face of the
wind and slcet.
The minister from the little church in
the square below. who was to officiate,
had not known the deceased in life, and
knew none of his virtues or his failings;
but he took his stand at the head of the
cheap coffin, and after reading the burial
service, closed the book and cleared his
throat, preparatory to beginning the SER
mon.
As he was about to begin. the front door
opened. and an unkempt little figure,
whose scant and ragged clothing Ill
matched the blustery weather outside,
stole noiselessly into the room.

The boy glanced swiftly at the face in
the coffin, and then bis little, rough hand,
purple from the cold, laid tiny bunch of

him.
