LEARN TO EAT.
Few People in Belfast Really Know How.

Few People in Belfast Really Know How.
Slow eating will solve one-half the prob
lem of i'll health. Those who suffer already
with indigestion and weak stomachs can
with care and the use of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets restore their digestion to healthy
condition, SO that they Can eat what they
want at any time without fear of distress
or suffering.
After few days use of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets, the headache, dizzy feeling, drow-
siness, bad taste in the mouth, coated
tongue, nervousness. sleeplessness, distress
after eating-all these symptoms of weak
stomach-Will disappear. and perfect diges-
tiOn and good skin will show that the vital
machinery is once more running smoothly.
Take a little Mi-O-na tablet before each
meal so that it will stimulate the digestive
juices and give strength to the stomach,
and then it will take care of the food that is
eaten, without indigestion and the unpleas-
ant full feeling with which SO many suffer
after meals.
A. A.Howes & Co. had so much confidence
in the power OF Mi-0-na to cure indigestion
and all stomach ills that they give guaran-
tee with every 5Ocent box to refund the
money If the remedy fails to give satisfac-
tiOn.

Crosby, as follows:
Worthy Master, Officers and Members of
Harvest Moon: Today we meet, as we have
many times before, to observe our natal
day and to celebrate in fitting manner the
33rd anniversary OF our organization. This
day as it comes and goes upon its swift
course means much to us as Patrons, ard
especially to our older members who have
labored faithfully and long for the upbuild-
ing of our cause and have Witnessed the
varied changes which have come to US dur
ing this period OF time. To be sure we are
stronger III numbers than we were in the
years past and gone, but are we stronger in
purpose and intent to go forward as did
those faithful workers who labored under
difficulties far greater than we at the pres
ent time. Thirty years ago our order was
not popular one. 1t had obstacles to en-
counter which we do not meet today. and
hindranceS on every hand; but now we are
recognized and looked up to as popular
and progressive body all over our land. AT
least in 80 States of our Union, and a new
grange now springing into existence has
not the harGSnips to meet that our pioneer
workers had who paved the way for us that
we might today enjoy to certain extent
the fruit of their toll and struggles Thus
it seems to me we ought to accomplish more
in given time than they, for the way is
brighter and better for US. Harvest Moon
is yet in its infancy in the good it NAV
achieve in coming years. So many of our
old workers have stepped from the stage of
action in our ranks to take up a greater
work that we sometimes feel alone and even
within the past year we have lost Valuable
members from our midst whose place it will
be difficult to fill l sometimes think that
we should have memorial day set apart in
honor of our arisen workers and observe il
the same as we do anniversary day. Our
grange has not been largely attended during
rlnt kHo,,
one or two brothers were present, and
whether it is from lack of interest on their
part because we do not take up subjects
which are of interest to them, or on account

GOOD MANNERS SECRET.
Two Theories of the Acquirement,
Unselhshness and Conventionallty.

Two Theories of the Acquirement,
Unselfshness and Conventionallty.
Most mothers hold, consciously or
uncensciously, one of two theories
about the requirement of manners by
their chlldrenA fBE 8EN@
One mother says: Manners are only
the outward sign of the inner nature.
If my daughter has kind heart and
well-tralned mind she will behave
In gentle, charming fashion. will
teach her compassion, respect for age.
unselfish zeal for helping with the
worlds work. Her manners will take
care of themselves"
Another mother says: "My girls will
never get on without conventional man
ners. They shall be taught from baby
hood to emulate the speech and bear
ing of ladies. They shall be instructed
in the proper behavior. for every occa-
sion. They shall walk and dance and
write and speak with graceful perfec-
ton"
Neither method, says the Youths
Companion, produces altogether salts
factory results.
Unselfshness is truly the foundation
Of good manners, but not the super
structure. Many conventional restric-
tions have grown about social relations.
Some can be explained by the demand

tube into a special regenerating cham
ber containing certain chemical pro-
ducts which renew the supply of oxy-
gen and the air is then sent to the
Interior of the helmet by another tube.
The air-renewing apparatus is con-
|tained in a pair of cylindrical cham
|bers attached to each side of the he'll
met. Regulating valves keep the air
pressure within the helmet at the right
amount and always constant no mat
ter what the depth may be below the
surface. Mounting and descending
are effected by drum and cable
worked by an electric motor. At the
same time the cable serves to carry
the current which is needed for the
respiratory apparatus. The diver
communicates with the surface by a
telephone, and number of wires run
from the armor UP to set of colored
lamps, showing how the different
parts are working. M. de Pluvy has
personally been able to 60 down to a
great depth, and during the 115 de-
scents which he has already made
with the new diving suit he reached
depths varying from $50 to 300 feet.
This far exceeds the depth to which
an ordinary diver can go.

'-The number Of men Living to 100
years per 100000 Of the population
from 1891 to 1900 is only seven and
women twenty-four. as compared with
fifteen men and thirty women in 1888
to 1854" he saysA
Dust Sir Lauder Brunton regards as.
one of the greatest enemies of old age,
since 1t is a frequent cause of colds
and other respiratory diseases.
"At the time when used my con-
sulting room as library he says, II
found very frequently that IL / had
occasion to consult book from one of
! the top shelves was apt to get cold
in my head.
This occurred with such regularity
that at last | took to sponging the top
Of the book with a solution Of earbolic
acid before using it" -
Chills and especially local chills are
to be guarded against.
Wind which comes fairly in ones
face is little to be dreaded, but if wind
catches one at the back of the neck,
behind the ear or even at the side Of
the head it is much more dangerous
Largely open windows are compar-
,atiyely safe, but chink through which
the air blows with force is to be ctfre-
fully avoided.
zone reason of this probably is that
wind blowing through chink causes a
more rapid current of air and thus
chills the part of the body against
which it impinges much more quickly
than air moving slowly and still more
than air which is not moving at ALL"
Improper mastication of food is also
fruitful cause Of organic diseases in
middle age.
"The practice of gobbling," Sir Lau-
der Brunton says, may to certain
extent at least, be responsible for the
larger proportion of cancer of the STONE
ach which occurs in men more than in
women at the age of 55 years, the num-
bers being 1924 and 2,S67, while at 65s
years the number are nearly equal, be-
ing 2,995 and 2,917 and at higher ages
they are reversed. London Lancet.

Still no set of rules to produce a
polished lady will achieve a result fit
for the strain Of life. The members
Of the French boarding school may
adorn the ballroom, but are too likely
to fall at the breakfast table or in the
crowded car. The woman Of perfect
manners must reinforce her unselfish-
ness BY social rules, and conventional
lty must be vitalized by the warm de-
sire of others pleasure. The best Of
life never "comes naturally" whether
In manners or morals.
The secret of charming manners is
the desire for them. When the mother
wishes them for her daughter as much
as she wishes the other goods of the
world her daughter will have them.

Cost Of Hauling crop..

The bureau of statistics recently sent
out a special inquiry circular to ascer-
tain the cost of hauling farm crops to
shipping points. and the compiled re-
suits representing replies from nearly
1000 counties in different parts Of the
United States indicate that the guam.
tity of farm produce annually hauled
amounts to 100000 tons The cost
OF hauling the same is estimated at ap.
proximately $S5,O00OO0, which is an
average Of S1a cents per hundred
weight.
In general, the hauling cost is to q
large extent dependent upon the value
OF the articles hauled, the more valu.
able products taken to market oftener
and in smaller loads. and therefore al
a greater cost. Corn, wheat, hay and
potatoes are hauled at from Z to 6
cents per 100 pounds; tobacco and hogs
at 10 cents per 100 pounds; cotton, IL
cents, and wool, Al cents.

Equal Suffrage Movement to Becoms

The American men folks are in for It
The suffragetes are coming! The move
ment started In England has been
taken up in New York. Plans of or
ganization are under way and the equal
suffrage women in other cities are be-
coming interested. The New York as
sociation Is known as the Women's
League. 1t is purposed to make its ini-
tial salute an agitation such as has had

tion of the women of the State, looking
to larger national council, and a COM

The movement is headed by Mrs.

FOR Stacking wheat.

To stack wheat before threshing 50
that 1t will be dry when that time
comes, Is the desire of every farmer
who raises that cereal. Mr.. C. I.
Pritchard, Of Randolph, Clay county,
Mo-, has system that be has used for
generation, and he never lost bit Of
wheat by dampness in the stack. He
has great reputation in his home for
this class of work, and he spends a
large part Of his time in showing 9TH
ers how to do 1t. He gives descrip-
ton of his method as follows:
'1To stack wheat or oats so stack
will not take water. Commence the
stack or rick any way you wish. But
when you have the stack five or six
feet high, just reverse the usual way
OF stacking, and do 1t from the center
to the outer edge, instead of from the
outer edge to the center. When you
begin at the center to stack out, lay
two or three bundles 50 as to keep the
center highest, with a good slant to-
ward the outer edge. If at any time
the outer edge gets too high, stop be-
fore you get there, and go back to the
center and commence again. Be sure to
keep the center highest, with a good
slant to the outside.
This way is just about the same as
one shock on top of the other, only
more slant to the bundles.
There is no slip or slide. 1t is fast
and easy, and sure keeps the stack dry.
II you are stacking the usual way, and
the stack should begin to slip, just go
to the center and work out, and see
how quickly you stop the slipping. Mix
1t up little-work from the center
part of the time. Try it"
