KITCHENS IN OLDEN TIMES.
Size Was More Important Than
Furnishings.

FROM the London Times.
In old<n' days the size of the kitchen
seems to have been of more importance
than its fitments in detail. At Hurst
monceux for instance. there was q
fireplaces. and d bakehouse with an oven
l.; feet in diameter. Then there is an
old Welsh kitchen at Penrhyn Old Hall,
near Llandudno. dating from the if
teenth century. which has many priui-
tive culinary cOntrivances, now obsolete
or superseded by more modern devices

"Robbing Peter to Pay Paul. "
I'M the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
that proverb ''robbing Peter to pay
Paul. arose from the way in which the
Dean of Westminster was treated at the
time OF the reformation. As abbot he
had been an Independent dignitary. but
as dean he was placed under the author
ity of a specially created Bishop of
Westminster. This diocese after exist
ing for ten years was merged in the see
of London. and many of the domains of
ST. Peters Abbey passed into the hands
of the chapter of st. Paurs Cathedral.
thus giving rise to the now familiar say
ing. 1T was by a hard struggle writes
Dean Stanley. that the abbey was saved
in those tempestuous times. Its depend
ency of the priory of st. Martin s-le-
Grand was torn to pieces and it's outly-
ing domains to the east of Westminster
were. it is said, sacrificed to the Protector
Somerset to induce him to forbear from
pulling down the abbey itself.''

Because MONA causes the blood TO

all times a valuable tonic, 1t puts vigor
into the muscles, cleans up the improp-
erly nourished brain and makes strong
nerves that will stand the severest test.
Men who feel that their vitality is
slipping away; that the vim and energy
that they formerly put into all their
work is lacking; that ambitious impulses
and clever ideas do not come as they
used to-are the kind of men that need
MI.O-NA.
Besides being a peerless remedy for
indigestion MONA is most pro-
nounced tonic.
If you have that blue, disconnected
feeling through the day and pass restless
nights trying unsuccessfully to get a
refreshing sleep, take a months treat
ment of MI-O-NA stomach tablets, and
bring the sunshine into your life.
MONA costs but 90 cents at Chas.
Rhodes and druggist everywhere. Guar
anteed TO cure indigestion and immedi-
ately relieve all stomach misery or
money back.
Readers of the Record should bear in
mind that nothing will set the stomach
right so quickly as MONA tablets.
Take two after hearty meal and you
need have no fear OF stomach distress.
