Some Curious Rhymes

1T would no doubt be little din
cult to discover the origin of
some of the curious counting-out
rhymes that have engaged the atten-
tion of the children of many genera
tions and that are still in vogue
among the children of all lands. It
Ia doubtful II there Is q man or q
woman living who did not have some
experience with these rhymes in the
days of childhood. Who composed
them? No one knows. They are O.
part of the folklore of different
lands and many of them have origi-
mated In our own country. One could
hardly conceive of more senseless
doggerel than this:
"As I climbed up the apple tree,
All the apples fell on me.
Bake a pudding, bake a pie,
Did you ever tell lie?
Yes, you did, you know you did,
You stole your mothers teapot lidi"

 Stomachs

Who ever heard of a jolly dyspeptlc? Merrimeht and indigestion are as far apart as the North and South Poles. The dyspeptic should not be blamed If he is blue, irritable, or grouchy-he cannot help it.
 No one who has a coated tongue, dizziness, nerves on edge. sour and gassy stomach, and knows that he cannot eat hearty meal without stomach distress, can be sweet temp cred or enjoy life.
 Why allow this condition to con- tinue? Miona, a specific for out-of- order stomachs can he had from any drug store on money back if not bene fited plan.
 Mi-o-na is not only digestive which gives prompt relief whether taken after meals or at any sign of stomach distress, but contains ingredients which strengthen the walls of the stomach, stimulate the flow of the gastric juices and restore the digestive organs to a normal condition.
 The stomach must digest your food readily and supply the body with it's proper nourishment before you can be well, strong, or have life assume any thing but gloomy aspect.
 If you have any symptoms of a dis ordered stomach, begin the use of Mi o-na at once--today. Why wait stomach ills usually lead to something serious.

TOLD VINEYARD WORKERS
 OF INDIA MISSIONS.
Showed $11.2o Made Proceeds--Lawn Party Committee.

There was an unusually interesting meeting of the Vineyard Workers on Tuesday evening at the Central Bap- tist church with an address on mis- sion work in India by Mrs. Brock as the special feature. The president, Mrs. F. A. Roath, presided at the meeting and opened the session with reading from the scripture. The pres ident also offered prayer. The secre- tary's report was read by Mrs. c. D. Sevin, who gave a report on the re- cent lecture by Dr. Headland from which a balance of s1120 was real ized. Mrs. A. E. Wyman was elected chairman of a committee to arrange for lawn party, with power to name the other members of the committee.
 Following the rolIcall Mrs. Roath presented Mrs. Brock. who is engaged in mission work in South India Mrs. Brock spoke of the enthusiasm evident at the annual meeting of the Board of Missions at New York. She impressed upon the members the power of pray CT, saying that out in the field with no friends near to ask for assistance, prayer was the only thing which help ed the missionary through trials and difficulties. Ours is a blessed task, for we can see the results of our work ours is hard one, without the joy of seeing results, and only know what is accomplished when we come home to tell you of it.
 Her mission field in India, she said was about the size of the state of Rhode Island, and there are about 200 assistants to the missionaries. The living is higher there than formerly, she said, and has been tripled in the past ten years. This, however, is somewhat offset by the advance in wages and the mission has been in creased in prosperity. She emphasized the value of the work of the Bible women and as result of the efforts of one such she said that her village was permeated with the word and spirit of God. She told of the organ ization of a, missionary circle in her village and of the great interest taken in it by the women. Mrs. Brock told at length of the problems and difncul- ties encountered in her work. and her address proved most pleasing to her audience.
