The beverage of Paraguay.

Mate, the national beverage of Para
quay, is brewed from the dried leaves
OF the lex and does not intoxicate
Mate can be drunk hot or cold, it car
be taken with cream and sugar, like
tea or coffee, and it can be used
straight" which seems by far the
best way Of drinking it. Plain mate is
quite bitter, and, like beer, it is an &C.
quired taste. The first sip gives a dis.
unctly bitter taste, and the drinker
sets down his glass with wry face
Presently, as soon as the bitter effect
wears off, the imbiber has a please nj
recollection of the sensation. BY this
time the powerful stimulating property
of the drink has begun to work and the
drinker feels like taking another SIP.
Mate makes the user of it ''feel good, /"
makes him look with brighter eye on
the dark side of life, makes him forget
bis troubles for the moment. and. best
or all, unlike beer, 1t makes him feel
Ike working or doing something with
his brain or his hands instead of Ioafino
or gossiping.
chemists who have carefully ana
lyzed mate say that 1t is perfectly
harmless. 1t has only the smallest per-
centage of caffeine and volatile oils
and 1t never leaves a bad after effect
Even when the drinker has a disorder
cd stomach or bad nerves the consump-
uon OF mate is not followed by unpleas-
ant feelings.

The fish in the stream has not been

A man approached along the river

over his face when he saw the letter

Then he coughed, and the girl was
startled. She turned quickly around.

"Well, see we've got that school

"'Tain't so. Now, wonder what put

Marth looked up at the letter in the

md peered through the woods to the
| light of her. Just across shallow
tavine trail led around the side OF
the mountain and on this trail Martins
| eyes could now see three shadowy
horses and riders, and there was a
CLEAN of polished metal which told the
girl that each rider had a gun strapped
| to his back.
For a moment Martins heart stood
still. She knew she was gazing upon
| the dreaded revenue officers, and her
thoughts flew to Amos, more than
three miles away down the ravine,
where he would soon be at work in the
distlllery.
The girl sat motionless until the rid
ers had passed bowlder which pro-
truded from the hillside. Then she
seized her pail and ran up the trail to
the cabin. There was but one thought
In her head. Amos must be warned
and saved at any cost. Saddling a
small mule which she led from the sta
BILE. she leaped upon his back, dragged
a shotgun up after her and rested it
upon the animals neck. Then she set
off along trail which diverged from
that taken by the officers.
The mule was soon urged into trot,
and this pace he was forced to keep up
down the rugged, water worn trail
through the darkness of the deep
woods. Marth sat like a statue on the
animals back, with her ears strained
to catch the least sound and her eyes
wide open for any sign of the officers.
The murkiness of the woods seemed to
hold no terrors for her. She was think
ing of the unrighteous wish she had
uttered to Amos.
At last she reached high rock over
looking bluff, and she stopped and
listened intently. Then, slipping down
from the saddle, she crept into laurel
thicket on one side of the rock and aft
er a few minutes came out in the glare
of furnace fire. She was at the door
way Of Amos Underwood's stillhouse
'Springing through the opening, she
called his name. Amos turned quickly,
and his hand grasped the butt of re-
volver, but when he saw Marth he al
lowed his chin to drop to his breast,
and his hand fell Imply to his side.

but the girl backed away.

The moonshiner caught the girls
hand, and together they sprang into
the laurel.' Five minutes later they
stood on the rock above the stiIlhouse
and listened to the work of destruction
that was being carried on by the raid
ers axes.

whispered Marth, and Amos, catching
her in his arms, tousled her hair with
his chin.

RETIRED ARMY SURGEON
ENTITLED TO REGISTER
Same Privilege Accorded Him as Though
in Actual Service or Ac-
tual Practice.

J. o. Skinner, surgeon. U. S. A, re-
tired. now superintendent Of Columbia
Hospital. IS entitled 70 register as &
regularly praeticIng physician in the
District, according 70 a ruling by Cor
poration Counsel Duvall submitted to-
day. in spite OF the fact that Surgeon
Skinner is not a practising physician.
This ruling, 1t is understood. sets a
precedent
A week ago Surgeon Skinner infarmed
Health Officer Woodward that. as he
was the superintendent of a hospital
he wished 70 register as a physician
IN order TO be able TO sign death GER
tificates. He said he was not. and did
not intend TO be. practising physician.
In view of this fact Dr. Woodward
held that there was nothing TO make
Surgeon Skinner eligible for registration
unless he should pass the regular. ex-
animation for registra ton before the
Board Of Medical Supervisors. He said
the only regulation regarding army ur-
geOns was that. while they are in ac-
tive service, they are regarded as prac-
Using In the District and are obliged
therefore to reg.SIer as such at the
Health Office
He said he had never before been
confronted with q request from a re-
tired surgeon for registration. He
therefore denied the application, but
forwarded the papers 10 Mr.. Duvall
for confirmation
That official said the courts Of the
country have held throughout that re-
tired surgeon is In effect commits
stoned officer
Therefore. ne decided. the registration
ought to be allowed TO Surgeon Skinner

would be accorded him Ia active service
