RAISED
STATE BOARD OF ASSESSMENT
 COMPLETES ITS WORK.
Lines in Alabama Increased S4,000, 900 and Will Pay 0ne-sixth of All
 the States Taxes.

After the State Board of Assessments had been in session practically all of yesterday, it was announced at its ad- 1ournment that the assessments on railroads, telegraph ana telephone lines had been raised from $54,000,000 in round numbers to approximately S5S,A 00O,00O.
 The total assessment on all proper ties last year was approximately s344,- 100000 which shows that the railroads pay about one-sixth or the entire State taxes. The members or the Board agreed that the assessment on rail- roads was just as high as On other properties throughout the State.
 Only sixty miles of new road have been built in the State since the last assessment was announced and the raise is almost entirely due to increas- ed valuation of old properties.
 It was announced yesterday that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad property from Athens to Mobile was raised approximately $1,200 per mile. The Mobile and Ohio Railroad Com pany fared better, its assessment being raised about $1,000 a mile, while the Atlantic Coast Line got the largest raise, its assessment being increased approximately $1,500 a mile. The Ala bama Great Southern's assessment was increased approximately $I,300 q mile.
 The Board remained in session prac- tically throughout the day. adjourn ing about noon, reconvenlng at o'clock and adojurning finally about o'clock.
 The exact figures will probably be announced today by Judge J. T. Cook, chief clerk in the office of Auditor J. M Carmichael, and clerk of the Assess ment Board,

MainSpriing
 of Life
No One Can Be Strong With Weak StOmach-E. G. Fowler Tells How
 1t May Be Strengthened.

The stomach is the handspring of life When 1t is strong and acts per fectly. then the whole system is right assimilation is perfect, and body and brain are thoroughly nourished
 One may perhaps get temporary re- lief from stomach troubles by using pepsin, or some other digestant, but this treatment has no curative effect. It does not reach the seat of the trou- ble and remove the cause.
 How much better to use Mi-o-na which restores lost functions of the whole digestive system, revives flag ging nutrition, and aids in the asstm- ilation of food.
 Mi-o-na is a pleasant remedy to use, and benefit is seen from almost the first days treatment. It restores the torpid glands and stimulates the nat ural digestive secretions. It checks Fermentation, stops germ growth soothes inflammation. and cures all troubles, such as headaches, backaches rheumatic pains, furred tongue sleep lessness, nervousness, and general de- bility, which are caused by imperfect digestion.
 It is the only remedy that IS so uni formly successful in the cure of stom- ach diseases that E. c. Fowler is will ling to give a guarantee with every 50 cent box of Mi-o-na tablets that the remedy will cost nothing unless 1t cures. He has so much faith in Mi-o-na that he Is willing to take all the risk.

The ChiIdren,s Garden.

Woman's Home Companion for March.
 The best means of interesting the children in flowers is to give them garden for their own. one that they can plant and tend themselves, after it has been dug and raked by some older person, and in which they have been prompted to plant such flowers that appeal to children for some inner ent reason. Children do not love all flowers alike, but prefer those which for some reason, aside from themselves, appeal to the instinct for knowledge which is implanted deep in every ra- tional child
 No matter who prepares the garden for them. the children should be at hand and the various processes. ex- plaiued to them as they are peiform- ed. They should be told that We dig up the soil fol a purpose, or they may inquire, as one did of me. Who digs the ground for the wild flow ers?" Ex- plain that the various plants and weeds or grass growing in the soil rob it of the natural or artificial ingredients of which it is composed, and we dig 1t up every spring in order to replace them, and we aerate it in order that it may absorb nitrogen, one of the things it must have.
 Also explain that we rake fl in order to make It fine. that the young seed lings may be enabled to make their way to the surface with ease
