DO YOU FEEL HEADACHY?
LOOK TO YOUR STOMACH

It is an unusual thing for a drug
gist to sell medicine under a guaraIi-
tee to refund the money If it does not
cure. Yet this is the way Lee &
Osgood Co., the popular druggists, are
selling Mi-o-na, the standard dyspep-
STA remedy.
Never before have they had SO large
q number of customers tell them that
a medicine has been successful as with
Mi-o-na- People who few months
ago looked like walking skeletons have
put on flesh and today are ruddy and
vigorous with perfect digestion and
good health.
There is no longer any need for
anyone suffering or making their
friends suffer on account OF dyspepsia.
Mi-o-na can always be relied upon.
The percentage of cures is so great
that there is little risk to Lee &
Osgood Co. in guaranteeing to return
the money IL the medicine does not re-
lieve. And they stand ready to do SO
without any questions.
Headaches, all forms of indigestion.
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,
poor sleep, ringing in the ears and ali
forms Of liver trouble are helped by
M-o-na. A few days treatment
should show considerable gain in
health while a complete cure often
follows rapidly.
These days are the best I'm the
whole year for the enjoyment Of good
health, and Mi-o-na win put you in
such perfect condition that you can
enjoy every minute Of them.

was not opposed to anything which is
Of real higher culture.
Taking up what he called o. second
heresY he said, There Is no such
servation. The powers of observa-
ton are not general powers They
are specific powers born OF interest.
We are to train pupils to acquire gem
uine interest in q subject for observa-
ton can be developed only with in
|terest."
There is no general method OF train
ling pupils to think through any form
of logic. All. that we can do is to
multiply the experiences OF a child
and teach him to recognize type forms.
Real experiences are vital things of
more in the first i've years of his
life provided he is In decent en-
vironment, than he does in all the
other years of his life. Books are
useful in so far as they supplement
the experiences Of life.
How Parents Can Help.
Principal w. D. Hood gave the su-
pervisorS some excellent ideas about
the administration of high schools. His
subject was How to Make High
Schools Effective
He said, 1.-THE trend of the times is
Eaway from hard work. Boys and
girls of today have too many distrac-
lions from school work, too much
money to spend, too many evenings
out Many of them do not get suf11ci-
ent sleep. Some of them can not think
clearly even if they are 50 inclined.
Many parents are too indulgent. The
school must overcome the inertia of
pupils. 1t is a good plan early in
September to suggest that a quiet
place be provided at home for study.
Parents should take keen interest in
the early part of the school year for
it is at this time that many pupils
fail.
1T Is an important matter to teach
pupils how to study. 1t is hard to
give a person a prescription as to
how to accomplish some intellectual
task. It frequently happens that
teachers simply say to the backward
boy study more" instead of giving
him the proper lever. Supervised
study is coming to be more and more
common. 1t is important to deter
mine what parts of the lesson are
worth while. Teach the binding facts.
If lessons are properly assigned it will
help a great deal. Have children adopt
a daily schedule of home work and
have them follow it. 1t is well, too,
to have a time allotment schedule. OF

What the Duke Said

The Duke Of Wellington, Of course,
never said up Guards and at EN-
at Waterloo. but Is it generally known
how near he came to saying It? Sir
Herbert Maxwell, in his biography of
the Duke. points out what is the prob
able origin of the pleasing legend.
Late on the afternoon of that memoir
able 18th OF June the First and Second
Battalions of the Third Chasseurs
were foremost in the attack on Mont
Saint jean They had reached a
crass-road unaware that British troops
were lying behind the wayside banks
according to orders to remain prone
when under fire but not actually en-
gagged Then at the proper moment
Welfington's voice was heard, clear
above the storm" Stand up, Guards!"
It was Maitland's Brigade of Guards
that thus stood up" and with vic
torious rush swept the Chasseurs out
Of the combat.-Manchester Guardian.

ACCIDENTAL AsPHYxIArroN.
Mrs. Margaret MeGlone Found Dead ir
Bed-Odor of Gas Excited Alarm.

Mrs. Margaret McGlone of 81 Elm
street was found dead in her bed about
$50 Thursday morning. Medical Ex-
amfner Louis i. Mason was called and
Pronounced death due to accidental
asphyHation.
Late Wednesday night Mrs. McGlone.
Who occupied one tenement in a two
family house called upon her CO.
tenants, the family of Max Mandel
stating she wished to heat some water
to battle a lame shoulder. She OBJ
tanned a teapot full of water and light
ed a gas stove in her apartments to
heat the water. From examination
made by DIR. Mason it seems probable
that after heating the water Mrs. Nc
Clone accidentally turned on the gas
cock in some way after first turning
out the heater.
About 2 o'clock IN the morning
groanfng was heard from the neighbor-
hood of the house and attracted the
attention of neighbors. who went to
the door and raped, but, obtaining no
response, concluded she was sleeping.
No odor Of gas was noticed at this
time.
Later on, however, when Mr.. Man
del came home from his work at the
bakery which he conducts, he noticed
the odor Of gas coming from Mrs. Nc
Clones rooms. and Immediately called
ID. 3. O'Connor, who lives across the
street. Entrance was effected by
breaking one of the windows and the
woman was found lying in her bed in
her night clothes. A strange fact is
that there was no explosion, although a
kerosene lamp was burning in the bed
room all night.
The body was removed to local
undertaking establishment and later
taken to the home OF the brother of the
deceased. Patrick ]. Rooney, of Quer-
Gus avenue. Mr.. Rooney and his
daughter Mary are the only surviving
relatives.

While employed as an insurance
agent, the necessity of the fountain
pen presented itself to Waterman. n
was difficult to secure insurance in
those days, and any such stumbling
block as not having the means to sign
a contract ION the spot" was an addi-
tional handicap. Waterman saw this
world need, and used his meagre saw
ings to develop his fountain pen ideas,
which he soon patented. He made
pens, a dozen at time and sold them
to his friends, always with the under
standing that if they We're not salts
factory their money would be returned
The first year of the history Of Water
mans Ideals, he spent $3.50 to ad-
vertise them to the public. Now these
famous pens are advertised in every
country and city of any importance
throughout the universe. and there are
well over million sold each year.
Start saving, no matter how small
the amount, if only to develop the
trait. Some day you may get an idea,
or good chance, and you will have
your own finances to back you.

LIBRARY INSTITUTE
Begins at Storrs in Connection With
Summer School for Teachers.

Two sessions of the library institute
at Storrs were held Thursday. The
following students registered: Grace
Bates. librarian, Windham; Elsie
Marsh, librarian Mansfield; Mrs. Edna
H. Tryon, librarian, North Stonington.
The instruction in cataloging was
given by Mrs. B. H. Johnson. The
last hour in the morning was devoted
to a lecture by Secretary Charles d.
Hine. who made various suggestions TO
the librarians. His first suggestion was
that each librarian should have cata-
logue of all the children in the town,
with information about the family
which should show when possible the
quality of the reading matter in the
home and indicate some connecting
point between that home and the libra
nv. This catalogue should show also
the child's reading in school. The
character of this reading is not often
all that it should be, and the librarian
who is acquainted with the conditions
may influence the selection of reading
in the school.
Constant Circulation Advocated.
Every school should have from %
to 40 books from the library IN the
school room. There are SO many books
on the shelves of the small libraries
which just sit there, and never go any
where. They ought to go out any
where, SO that they may have a chance
of being read. In one library Of $500
volumes, not more than 500 books Of
the $500 went out during the year;
the other 1000 remained on the shelves.
This library might well have sent 100
books to each school or have sent them
into families.
Center of Reading Clubs.
Club work is a popular feature of ed
ucational work now. Why not make
the library the center of reading clubs ?
Such clubs might fill the place in the
community which was filled in earlier
days by debating clubs or lyceums.
There were centers of the literary &C.
tivity of the communities and of the
social life.
If after a period Of years the libra
rian can see that the children and the
families are on a little higher reading
level. she has achieved something of
which to be proud. This achievement
will come through basing library work
on the person rather than through
| trusting to any mechanical processes.
In older days much emphasis was laid
on the doctrine of regeneration. In
these days we recognize that books as
