Miss Callahan rend nn luterestlng

celebrated lines descriptive of the
miracle of the turning' of the water
Into wine by Jesus, "The conscious
Water saw Its Ood and bltit-hrtl." These
huve generally been attributed to

AN EASY WAY.
To Keep Woll.
It Is insy to keep well If we would
only observe- each day a few slmplo
lilies' of health.
The nil Important thing Is to keep
the stomach right nnd to do this It I
nol necesrary to diet or to follow a
set rule or bill of fare. Such pam
peilng simply makes a capricious ap
petite end a feeling that certain fa
vorite nrllchs of food must be avoided.
Prof Wilchold gives pretty good nd
vice on thin subject: he sayr: "I am
fiS yeais-old and have never had n
seiloua lllties.o, nn.l at the same time
my life l.ns been largely nn Indoor one,
but I early discovered that the way to
keep healthy was to ketp a benlthy
stomach, not by catlap Dran eraekein
or dlctlns. of any sort: on the con
ttnry I always cat what my appetite
craves, but for tho pat clalil years
I have mnde It a dallv practice to
take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal and I attrib
ute my lobust health for a man of my
age to the 1egt1l.it dally use of Stuatt's
Tablets.
My phyrlclau llist advised me to
t:sr them becausu he hutd they were
peifectly haimlcss and were not it se
cret patent im.dk Inc. but contained
only the natural digestives, peptones
and dlr.tare, and after using them a
few weeks I have never ceased to thank
him for his advice.
"I honestly believe the habit of tak
ing Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
iiwals Is the real health habit, because
their .J1H0 brings health to the sick and
ailing and preserves health to the well
and strong."
Men and women past fifty veins of
age need u i,afo digestive after meals
to Insure a perfect digestion and to
wind off disease, and tlie safest, best
known and niOMt widely ued N Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
They tire loimd In evety well regu
lated household from .Maine to Call
foirla mid in Ureal Urltuln and Aus
tralia are l.ipldly pushing their way
Into popula- lavor.
All druggets jcell Stuai t's Dyspepsia
Tablet!, full dzed package-, al oO rent
and for n weak stomach a fifty cent
package will often do flfly dollars
wotth of good.
piMe and imposed the coil upon them ai a pen

WW KSOWV TO I'!.TiriOi:i!.
.sinli was me opciallon ol Hie .let of 1?TJ. pre
mnalily well known lo ihe pi tllionei., and such
wen the letulls It accomplished, t'nder the
pii'tcctlon It aiforded the meritorious tontestanl',
the petitioners be'gan the eontest. While Ihe ap
pence was re tinned as elected oer Ills epponent
by llio lotes, inc petitioners succeeded in show
Ins tint twenty nine lllei-il ote hail been cat
(or him, thus app.iiently establishing their sin
cerity in bringing Hie pion'cdinc. If the
learned Judge of the couit below had been con
duced of their good faith, thej would, under
Hie act of IsTI, hale escaped the pajinent of the
costs, thoiiLh they did not socci'cd in haling
alsh declared the duly elected conlabIe ot the
watd. llm, under the act of .9l, Hie contest
lulling tailed, ihe eouit is without discretion
in imposing the costs, and they fall on the peti
tioners regardless of their good filth in institut
ing the proceedings. It Is thus appaient tint
Ihe dl-poiitlon ol Ihe costs under the ait of ls09
is illflerent from whit the petitioner! had reison
In delict e il would be when tney begin Ihe pio
ceeclltiK'. and Hut Hieicb.t. under the facts of
Ihe case, manifest Injustice- will be done Ihcm If
they arc subjecled to Hi" protlslons of the act
ol lsRi. As we hate seen, under the authorities
cited, such conMructlous should not be giicn lo
th act of le-fl which will accomplish that le
suit, nnlei such appears to hate been dearly
the intention of the legislature.
The ninth section of the act of ls'19, is n
hate fcen, imposes the rois In contested elec
tions upon the petitioners if the contest be un
fucci'ssliil. The section, however, does not stop
hoie, and its ulemient pioijslotis make It e-ti-ch
nt that II was intenelerl to operate only upon
future contests, lu all cases to which the section
Is applicable, the petitioners aie required within
ten diy alter llllng (heir petition to glte a bond
'conditioned for the pnnunt of all ce.t-t which

Summer Excursions to the Country.
Do not be persuaded Into taking a
hasty date for a summer excursion
(that you may want to cancel) until
you have looked through Lake Henry
Park nt Maplowood when tho Spring
opens. This Is tn bo tho coming re
sort. There is plenty of time. Send
your committee to Lake Hoary Park
nnd If you do not find It more Inviting
than any other place your expenses
will ho paid. It Is tho nearest to
Seianton. No steep and dangerous
railroad grades. But forty minutes
from Scranton. It does not take half
your day to go and come. The largest
and bwt artaiigcd pavilion. Tho
shadiest walks. The most extunslve
grounds. Boats and swings. Best of

spring water to drink unless you bring
It with you. Xo licensed placo within
