More Than Enough is Too Much.

To maintain health, mature man
or woman needs just enough food to
repair the waste and supply energy
and body heat. The habitual con-
sumption of more food than is neces-
sary for these purposes is the prime
cause of stomach troubles, rheuma-
tism and disorders of the kidneys. If
troubled with indigestion, revise your
diet, let reason and not appetite con-
troll and take few doses OF Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and
you will soon be all right again. For

RELATION OF TEACHER AND
PATRON.

PATRON.
The writer has visited many homes
of patrons. He has been in the homes
of ideal patrons; they were educated
they had in mind right conceptions in
connection with the education Of their
children; they knew what they want
ed and were satisfied with the attain
ment; they recognized coed service
when such was rendered. The teacher
feels additional responsibility in serv-
ing such patrons; touch OF sympathy
makes the world akin. How easy
and delightful to teach such pupils.
Evening study hours are observed by
the pupils with helpful suggestions
from the patrons; they are self-govern-
ing. The value to the school of a few
pupils thus fostered at home is I'M
measurable Take these from any
school and much is lost to the COM
munity. May their tribe increase!
This proper relation is not unlike
the conditions which prevail in the
realm Of citizenship. The minister ever
remembers a few of the laity who
supported him actively; who'were pres
ent in the spirit at each service; who
said when special work was suggested
Here am /; send me-" who stood ell
bow to elbow, keeping the great pace
neck to neck, stride by stride, never
changing their places. The world know
how much the cause owes these few.

say the Others we're bad and theirs
blameless; they had regular study
hours at home and saw them observ-
ed; in short, they were business-like
and had good things to say Of the
school.
The teacher has duties in his
connection, to show appreciation for
such interest; TO do his best each
day, whether in storm or sunshine; 20
see the best side of the life Of the
pupil; to respect the opinions Of the
humblest patron end hear his sugges1

of which comes only with the flight OF
