WINTER EATING RUINS STOMACH
''NOw Is the Time You Need Mi-O-nn,'
 Says E. G. Fowler.

Think for a moment of the extra strain you put upon the stomach in the Winter. The hearty food. the late sup pers, and the lack of exercise and out door life all weaken and strain the stomach, laying the foundation for poor health and suffering.
 Chronic stomach troubles, nervous irritability. and serious bowel and kid ney diseaSes have often dated from a week of extra good living" Nearly everyone Is bothered with more or less headaches and backaches, furred tongue, poor appetite. dry hacking cough heartburn, spots before the eyes, dizziness or vertigo. sleeplessness, lack of energy loss of flesh or general weak, tired feeling.
 Now is the time when Mi-o-na is needed to repair she ravages and wastes the hearty eating of Winter has caused In the stomach and digestive system. This is the only known agent that strengthens the stomch and diges- tive organs, so they can and will read fly digest whatever food Is eaten. 4 Mi-o-na tablet taken before earh meal will remove all irritation. inflamma- ton and congestion in the digestive organs, and so strengthen them that they will extract from the food all that goes to make good rich, firm muscle, and a sound. healthy body.
 This remarkable remedy costs but 50 cents and if its use does not restore your full vigor. vitality, and health, E. C. Fowler, one of the best known druggists in this section, will refund your money. Unbounded faith like this deserves your confidence.

MAY OWES ESTATE.
Crenshaw's Missing Sheriff Was Guar
 dian of Ornhana.

uton or OEpn8HS. Luverne, Jan. 29.-tSpecial. )-Addi- tlonal developments in the official transactions of s. D. May. the missing
 Sheriff of Crenshaw County, show that he Is due a considerable sum of money to the various estates of which he was
 guardian, administrator, etc. The Linton estate will likely develop
 deficit of about $1,000. The Rena Rogers property has been rented out for years anl there is no &C., counting for the rents, which If rented
 for as much as Sheriff Ellington, pred
 ecesser of May. obtained for 1t, should
 rup~up into the hundreds. The Cook estate is an unknown quan- tity at this writing. but Mrs. Cook re- gently wrote the Probate Judge that
 she and her children were in almost destitute circumstances.
 One of the Linton heirs is a 13-year- old boy, a cripple. who, though his
 mother left an estate of a possible value of about 5000, is now living on charity.
 The negligence of the Sheriff will likely involve his bondsmen fer a con- siderable sum. There are a great num-
 Der of executions on the civil docket where he failed to make returns in the time required by law.
 Nothing definite has been heard here of the whereabouts of Sheriff May.

 New York Times.
 Wall Street heard yesterday of a deal which 1t is said will prove to be the entrance of the United States Steel Corporation interests into the Birm- ingham iron district of Alabama Rich ard H. Edmonds and Thomas P. Grasty of Baltimore have acquired control of the stock of the Alabama Coal and Iron Company. They have refused to give the names of the interests for which they are acting, but persons in a position to know say that interests closely connected with the Steel Cor poration will be found to be the real purchasers. The price is said to have been s45 a share.
 According to Douglas II. Gordon. President of the International Trust Company. the proposition is to amalga- mate with the Alabama Coal and Iron Company a number of other properties in the same district. T. G. Bush. Presi- dent of the Alabama. Company, is to remain President.
 Simultaneously with this announce rnent came the report that Samuel Spencer. President of the Southern Railway, would probably enter the Board of Directors of the Tennessee Coal. lyon. and Railroad Company. MT. Spencer Is generally supposed to represent the Morgan interests.

 AntaGDnlsm to the Government Means
 Social OstRactsm.
 ?. A. vanaerlip, In the February Scrib- aer's.
 There is a phase of human nature which one. encounters in Germany nat has q marked influence upon political |. development there. It is 'unfashionabIe" to be out of accodl with the Government policy. In Eng land a man may be a Free Trader pr q ''Protectiouist," a Little Eng iander'' or a dreamer of imperialisttic status one woy or another. In France the whole business of politics is rath- CT outside the highest social life, and society concerns itself little with the shades of a mans political opinion. Hu in Germany all that Is different, It Is distinctly unfashionable. in the view of the best society, to hold en- inions antagonistie to the Government. and the weight of that fact is tre- mendous in the shaping of mems op- inions. The young man of good fam fly who finds that with the adoption of radical political ideas he meets with distinct coolness in the homes of his friends. That his name Is drop ped from dinner lists, and his social aequaintances regard him with dis favor, needs a great deal of courage to pursue that line of thought. The power of social opinions, as represen- ted in aristocratic society. is perhaps nowhere more potent in political mat. ters than in BeTin.
 Co~0peRative Socialism in Belgium. F. 4, vanderlip, in the February Sorib- ner'a.
 Socialism in Belgium has devel- eped largely in the direction of CO., operative enterprise. In that par tieular it has taken a firmer hold in thta country than elsewhere. Co., operative evolution is already too far advanced for any opposition by the state to be effective. There are many huge cooperative organizations. and their energies are directed toward all most every phase of economic life. In the main they may he said to be suc- eesHful than any attempts ot coopera- tion which we have seen in America. Without doubt their Influence is bene- feent Most of the great cooperative associations have their own libraries devoted particularly to economic and social science. Tn the Vooruit. at Ghenk have seen a collection of many thousand volumes devoted to these two subjects

Pine AsheS-ShucIxIng COrn-FIOrIdn
 PuraIeY.

The inquiries answered below are from one who has just moved from Ohio to Mobile County:
 Dear Madam-Answering the aues- tions Of your recent letter in order. I would say that the ashes of long-leaf pine are much less valuable than those or hard wood, but contain enough pot ash and lime to warrant their saving ana use, especially on acid soils. and this Is the condition of any soils in south Alabama. Dry long-leaf pine ashes' according to an analysis by the Georgia Experiment Station, contain about l2 per cent of potash, about 1-2 per cent of phosphoric acid, and 40 per cent Of lime. They contain practically no nitrogen. I doubt whether the or- dinary Impure sample, somewhat moist, would snow more than half these amounts, and the composition would be still lower if teaching has occurred.
 The best criterion as to the time of planting corn and potatoes Is the prac- tfee of your neighbors. I would not advise departure from the common custom of wintering corn in the shuck, unless for good reasons, though I am not sure that the advantages are all on one side. You can cut corn in the South for shocking at about the same stage of maturity as in the North, NA PSAhcpS h AiNhio ldltL hdHy ern farmers, including the experiment stations. cut, shock and shred corn just as Is done in the North.
 By Alabama clover or native clover, I presume you refer to the plant with white blooms springing up in early summer in cultivated fields and vari- ously designated as Florida pursley, Florida clover. Poor Joe. etc. This plant Is not a clover nor even a legume. However, if your reference is to Japan clover Uespedeza) which has an in- conspicuous pink bloom. then you are dealing with a valuable pasturage plant. This Is a legume. Bermuda grass is our hardest grass and your carpet grass is nearly its equal.
