THE EMPIRE STORE, Valdosta, Georgia. An Interesting Explanation of the Cat endar Arrangement. The coming year 1b one in which uncertainty might arise as to the date of Easter, if the Prayer Book rule were strictly followed. Dr. Downing, F. R. S., of the National Almanac of fice, states that inquiries have been address to him on the subject, says London Nature. According to the Prayer Book, Easter day (on which all other movable feasts and holy days depend) “Is always the first Sun day after the full moon, which hap pens upon or next after the 21st day of March.” In 1905 the moon is full on the morning of Tuesday, March 21. But, explains Dr. Downing, "the moon re ferred to in the ecclesiastical calen dar, Is not the actual moon In the sky, which is full at a definite instant of time, but a fictitious moon, the times of the phases of which are so ar ranged as not to differ much from those of the actual moon. These phases are held to occur vaguely on cirtaln days and hold good far all longitudes. In the In stance before -us the actual moon full at 4h, 6f ■-*” _t!me. 'Easter oi file those adopting Wash ington time would keep it on April 23, in the next full moon.” Dr. Browning gives as the simplest expression for the date of the Paschal full moon March (44-epact). When the epact is equal to or greater than 24 this expression gives the date of tho preceding full moon, and the Pas chal full moon is found by adding 29 to this date. In 1905 the epact is 24, and the calendar moon is full on March 20 and April 18. The latter is Seems Likely to Result From Republi can Financiering. Washington, Feb. 1.—The pottof- flee appropriation aroused a discus sion on government finances, in which Mr. Littlefield, of Maine, assert ed that if appropriations were kept at their present size there would be a deficit of 961,000,000. Mr. Payne, of New York, would not commit himself in reply to questions by Messrs. Minor, of Wisconsin, and Gaines, of Tennessee, as to whether the house would pass a public build ing and river and harbor bill, but said that the present session would be brought to a close with appropriations for the next fiscal year that would be within the government's Income. Charging that the Republicans had profligately expended during the last few years hundreds of millions of dollars, Mr. Moon, of Tennessee, declared that if that party had been true to the people of tho United States, the deficiency that was now threatened and which was denied just bsfore -election, could not {possi bly have existed. “The deficiency Is beforp jwrfMnr 1ay. The 8ecret of Success. Forty million bottles of August Flower sold in the United States alone since its introduction! And tho de mand fur It is ctill growing. Isn’t that a fine showing of success? Don’t it prove that August Flower has had un failing success in the cure of indiges tion and dyspepsia—the two greatest enemies of health and happiness? Does it not' afford the best evidence therefore the Paschal full moon, and that August Flower is a sure specific P^SV-RSpubllcan slije, "now Slake it-nprbut account to the people for your conduct in expending their money.” Tho house adjourned until tomor row.

Dimmock. Think for q moment of the extra strain you put upon the stomach in the winter. The hearty food, the late suppers, and the lack of exercise and out door life all weaken and strain the stomach, laying the foundation loor health and suffering. Chronic stomach troubles, nervous irritability, and serious bowel and kid ney diseases have often dated from a week of extra “good living." Nearly everyone is bothered with more or less headaches and backaches, furred tongue, poor appetite, dry, hacking cough, heartburn, spots before the eyes, dizziness or vertigo, sleepless ness, lack of energy, less of flesh or a general weak, tired feeling. Now is the .time when Mi-o-na is needed to repair the ravages and wastes the hearty eating of winter has caused In the stomach and digestive system. This is the only known agent that strengthens the stomach and di gestive organs, so they can and will readily digest whatever food is eaten. A Mi-o-na tablet taken before each meal will remove all irritation, in flammation and congestion in the di gestive organs, and so strengthen them that they will extract from the food all that goes to make good rich blood. Arm muscle, and a sound, healthy body. This remarkable remedy costs but 50 cents, and if its use does not re- storr you to full vigor, vitality and noa!!h, A. E. Dimmock, one of the best Kno n druggists in this section, will refund your money. Unbounded faith like this deserves your confidence. Some Big Pigs Slaughtered. Mr. Z. J.

August Flower has a matchless record of over thirty-five years in curing the ailing millions of these distressing com plaints—a success that is becoming wider in Its scope every day, at home and abroad, as the fame of August Flower spreads. Trial bottles, 25c; regular size, 75c. For sale by W D. Dunaway. Take and Keep Receipts. Every farmer should have a small, strong box of iron or tin, provided with a padlock, in which to keep his receipts. Take a receipt for all money paid out, even if to your broth er, and avoid future disputes; and then don’t carry it around in your pocket until it is obliterated or lost. File it away safely. One fellow—an honest man, too—flatly denied ever giving me a receipt for a good sum; but when I produced the same he had to alter his book a little. Today I got a bill for “a balance due us” from a man I paid In full last September. Going to the file, I readily got his “receipt in full to date,” and will urge him to keep books after this.
