When correctly made and properly
 dsed Is great benefit to the human
 race. A perusal of the pages of the works of many eminent chemists will prove with preponderance of evidence that it is beneficial as beverage and Of considerable value as a human food. Dr Williams, when professor at Yale in 1883. had the following to say about tea Coffee, cocoa and tea all tend to repair the waste going on in the human system reduce the amount of solid food necessary, diminish, too, the wear and tear of the body and main tain the vigor of both upon a smaller amount of food. Of course when you are buying tea or coffee you mustn't run away with the idea that any old quality will do. Not much! You must get the nice, clean, good quality and the very best to be found, and while we do not claim that the tea grows for US ONLY. we do claim that our quality cannot be beat for the price you pay us. Remember. we do our own selecting and our aim is, quality first and price next and remember we know what the different qualities are and you get the benefit of our know ledge every time you buy from us. Some people may say we are filled with egotism. But don't believe them; it's our attention to business for over twenty years right here in our native city that has given us the practical experience and enables us to warrant our goods to be as we represent them.

TO QUIT ROWLING DOGS.
Efforts of Legal Minds to Devise Remedy for Disturbers of
 the Peace

The deyising of adequate remedies against disturbances of the public peace by bowling dogs and meowing cats has never been regarded as an easy proposition. The framing of legal provision to do away with the cause of such disturbances taxed for a time the minds of those who drew up the present sanitary code. The last clause of this code, section 1S0, Is as follows:
 No person. owning, occupying or having charge of any building or premises shall keep or allow thereon CT therein any animal CT bird. which shall by noise disturb the quiet or re- pose of any person therein or in the vicinity. to the detriment of the life or health Of any human being.
 The disturbance of the peace caused by an animal or bird" q dog, q cat. a parrot or a crow. may justify legal intervention if detrimental to the life or health of any human be- ing'-whieh it seldom Is. Sleep may he prevented by the disturbance caused by dog without it's being di. rectly detrimental either to life or health, and it is this clause of the sanitary code which gave the most trouble to those who devised it.
 It was at one time proposed that this provision of the sanitary code should include the protection of citi. zauS on life iiherfv and fha nifrsuit Of happiness but while that had a patriotic ring, it fell short of fulfill ing the requirements of courts that a provision of law involving a penalty should he at least reasonable. The sanitary code fails. therefore, to cover what is perhaps the most frequent cause of complaint over tho disturb ance of the peace by animal or bird "a noise whicE interrupts repose. without being at the same time detri- mental either to life CT to health.

as one showing grace Of line and re- peat 1t under artificial conditions that is. not giving it natural surround inss and individual consideration. but making a pattern or band of it's multi piled form, We have arrived at it's decorative possibilities. One snail might be a picture of a snail the same snail repeated results in q form Of decoration. The same is the ease with the violet band.

 The Japanese show us how a nat. ural form may obey decorative treat. ment. The landscape by well consid- cred spaces and reduction to few planes also serves in half-realistic decoration.
 It will be seen from the example shown that all unnecessary details and sraduations of tone have been sacri- feed 10 this giving of few we'll shaped masses that cut the whole space into pleasant and uneenven- tional proportions. Tn such arrange ment the allotment of color will be seen to be arbitrary as far as local color is concerned, and is used oaly

to obtain a decorative balance. Of course where it is so contrived as to represent the actual local color or marking ingenuity of design is gained.

SlLENCED THE CRITICS.
When the Tr1th Came Out the Schoolgirl Had the Laugh

It is rather unsafe experiment to eriticise q literary effort unless one knows all about l. The other even- ing a schoolgirl went into the library where the family were assembled, to read what they supposed 10 l-a her latest composition. l. was a descrip- ton of night in the woods. and when the schoolgirl read that the sky aas a glossy blue black. an artist sis- ter interrupted her to say. gently:
 -0h mE dear. that's all wrong. Now, think, did you ever see the sky ehen il was glossy"
 But the schoolgirl only smiled and read on.
 She referred 10 a drink of water as ! cold inward aspersion, and the room resounded with the laughter of aer relatives as they set her right as to the use of dispersion. as they un. derstood the word. This the school girl also took with unusual tmper- durability; indeed. she read on until she had finished. and then she added. meeily: "Will il do?"
 Certainly not, replied the critics. It is very. very bad. There is a per. ceptible straining after e&ect. IL is not nearly so good as the clever little things you usually write about Honor and Industry You should keep to ab- stract subjects Try to improve on what you have written, however. and it may do.

FIRES1EN vs.. ENGINEERS.
Struggle Is stim. On over which Order
They Shall Join.


There is practically no change in the
situation between the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers and
there is no prospect of q settlement of
the jurisdiction dispute between these
two bodies. The whole trouble lies, ap-
parently. in the fact that the Brother
hood of Locomotive F'Iremen is willing
that engineers should belong to both
the B. of L. E. and the B. of l. F.,
White the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers says that If a candidate for
the B. of L. E. IS elected to member
ship he must withdraw from member
ship in any other labor Organization
within ninety days on penalty of expul-
sion from the B. of L. E.
Naturally, many hremen become en-
gIneers while members of the B. Of l.
F., and it seems as though many of
these graduates do not wish to give up
their membership in their old union.
According to the present laws of the B.
OF L E., they must give up such mem
bership If they wish to join that organ
ization, and it seems as though many of
these men prefer to remain in the B.
of I. F., even though they have become
engineers.
In support of this. the B. of L. F.
says 1t has a membership of $1,000,
While the b. of L. q. has a mem er-
ship of about $4,000. and that there
are about 5000 engineers who are
members of both bodies, having Joined
the B. of L. E. during the years when
the nrohibitive law was not in opera
ton. The B. of L. F. also asserts that
of its members about 10000 are en-
gineers. The law that has caused all
of this trouble was passed by the B. of
l. E. more than sixteen years ago, but
was repealed later and then, after a
year or two, was re-enacted.

inclusive was 20 ell inches, or very
nearly 80 inches. and the average has

cidedly like an increase.

One Being Moved Got Stalled on
Tracks at Pittsburg
.Pittsburg. Kan, April 12@That a
church ediIice could become lodged on
a railroad track in such manner as
to tie I'D traffic on the road is perhaps
an instance without parallel, but such
a thing occurred at 1920 o'clock yes
terday morning in Pittsburg.
AS the Santa Fe train to Girard was
pulling out it was blocked for almost
half an hour at the East Fourth street
crossing by large frame church
building which set directly in the mid
die of the track. The building was the
ist church, which was being removed
from its former location on East Third
street to new location in East Pitts
burg.
The building had been placed upon
wheels and was being hauled to its
new location. In crossing the Santa Fe
tracks at the Fourth street crossing,
the building became stalled in the mid
die OF the main line track and all eff
forts of the workmen failed to bulge
it.
short while afterwards the Santa
F'e train hove in sight and it was fore
ed to stop, as it could not get past
After some delay, during which several
large log claims were secured and at
tached to the engine and likewise to
the building, the engine backed up and
succeeded in dragging the building off
the track. Traffic on the line was then
resumed and the train proceeded to
Girard almost half an hour late on ac-
count of the delay.
