Rest is the great restorer. We tire our
muscles by exercise and then rest to restore
them; yet great many, of us do not stop
to think how little rest we give to our

digestive organs. A tired and overworked
stomach will givo signs of distress to which

Mr.. Editor: 1t seems as if
Spring has not come yet but that
we will have some more wintry
weather.
"a Trip Around the World"
was given by the Civic Improve
ment League on last Wednesday.
The trips were made in automo.
biles, carriages, etc. Different
homes selected by the League
represented different cities of the
United States and other coun.
tries. The home of DR.. and Mrs.
j. E Poore was Japan.
Eight fires in one week in one
house is very strange. This has
been the case at "The Palmetto"
boarding house on Taylor St.
Twice day for every few DAYS
alarms were sent in. At first it
was thought to have been caus-
ed by an electric light wire but
upon investigation wasfound that
nothing was wrong with this. 1t
is now believed that these blazes
were of an incendiary nature.
The fires were all put out, but
they might have proved serious.
If caught the miscreant should
be and doubtless will be severely
dealt with.
