A l'OOR BREAKFAST.
Ver Few People 12at A Jood Ilrenk-
"All I want for breakfast ts n roll and n
cup of coffee."
This romark ts heard not only In hotels,
restaurants and lunch rooms but It Is the
usual breakfast order In the home clrcla as
well. After a twelve hours' fast It would
stem that tho first meal of tho day should bo
hearty, substantial one, aud It wo all
Hvsd natural, unartlllclal lives, It would bo
so, but cono of us do, honco breakfast Is a
mere pretence.
i Bays a latter day philosopher: "During
mauy years of aotlvo business life, I uever
remember having eaten a good substantial
'breakfast but supposed It was ot no Im
portance until I began to lose appetlto for
lunch and dinner.
My physician told me I was tho victim ot
nervous dyspepsia aud must take rest and
recreation as no medicine would reach the
trouble, but (his advlco I could not follow
as my business affairs would not permit It,
and to get relief I resorted tn raedtclues
iand prescriptions and It was purely acciden
tal that I bit upon one remedy which did
tho business. While In a drug store ono
evening I noticed a number of pople buying
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a widely adver
tised preparation for stomach troubles, and
thn tores of example was loo rauih for mo
end I bought a fitly rent package.
I took a tablet or two after each meal, nnd
In a week my appetite picked Up, I began
to fl my old ambition for work returning
and could eat a good breakfast because I
wanted It. and from that time to this, I
take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ns regularly
,as I lake tuy meals, not because I now have
any tnubl with my stomach, but becauie

It thero has been any doubt In tho minds
ot tho citizens and various Young Pcoplo'a
(octettes that havo been supporting the
chlldron's Industrial classes in the four
mission ittatlons, under tho direction of tho,
city missionary, Miss Mageo, that Omaha
Is deriving a practical, dally benefit from
theso classes, such doubts would have
been entirely dlspellod by the sceno pre
sented at Tenth street city mission, bo
tween 4 and C o'clock on Friday afternoon.
Two distinct branches of children's work
aro being carried on at that mission. The
boys' scientific tcmporanco classes, under
tho direction ot Mrs. Shlnrock, supported
by tho Woman's Christian Temporanco
union, nnd tho Industrial classes, under
Miss Mageo, supported by private sub
scriptions, the young people's societies and
tho Woman's club. When theso classes
wero opened tn tho fall ono of the most
serious problems that confronted the teach
ers was tho spirit of antagonism and con
stant quarreling among tho boys and girls,
which made It Impossible to conduct boys'
and girls' classed In the building at tho
samo time. To overcome this and teach
the boys gallantry and the girls the neces
sity nnd value ot womanly dignity, have
beon nmong tho chief efforts ot tho teach
ers. To what extent they have succeeded
was a surprise, even to thorn, when on
Friday afternoon the boys' temperance
classes gave a tea party to tho girls of tbo
Industrial classes. It was not without
much mlaglvlnc that Mrs. Shlnrock do
elded to undertake this eoclal experiment,
but Us result proved far beyond whnt had
even been hoped for. At the appointed
hour tho children nrrlved, sixty of them,
about equally divided boys and girls, the
majority ot them being colored and ranging
In age from 5 to It). The personal prepa
ration for tho occasion was very evident,
neatly brushed hair and clothing and clean
hands nnd faces predominating, A fen
stray children had been attracted, but all
wero seated Inside, tho boys at ono bud ot
tho room and tho girls at tho other, all of
whom sat quietly whllo thn refreshments,
consisting of tea, cake, sandwiches, pickles
nnd Jolly tarts, were arranged on the plates
by Mrs, Shlnrock, Miss Shlnrock, Mrs. Hor-
ton nnd Mrs. Fisher. Tho dishes of tho
kltchcngnrtcn classes were used and thorn
was enough to serve but half of the chil
dren at n time. When all was ready tho
honds wero bowed and Mrs, Shlnrock nsked
a bleslng, perfect quiet being maintained.
Six of thn boys then camo forward and dis
tributed tho plates among the glrU, their
KU'sts. while the others quietly looked on,
their faces expressing mingled satisfaction
and anticipation. The same boys colleato.l
tho plaice Jd cups when the repast was
finished ' carefully prepared them for
thn second tilling. A whispered consulta
tion rrsultrd In a request by four of the
kltchengarten glrls-that they be allowed to
apply to the principals of their classes and
erve the boys. This was granted with
most gratifying results. At the closo of
the hour the children were dismissed, all
passing out save a few boys and girls, who
remained to wash tho dishes nnd put tho
room In order. The teachers consider that
hour a most remarkable proof of what ts
being accomplished,

Such aro the questions heard In the
streets when approaching a group con
templating the handsome pink and bluo
boxes ot the Re-No-Mny powder exhibited
n many show windows. It affords us
much pleasure to explain the moaning of
tho word Ho-No-Mny. "Renomle" Is the
name of an allegorical divinity created by
tho ancients and often reproduced by mod
ern artists for embellishing edifices. One
can see four figures In concort with the
Pcgast ornamenting tho Pont Alexandre
hlch spans the river 8clno In Paris.
Now York possesses a divinity of tho same
origin,, "Liberty," illuminating tho world.
And Omaha is the starting point of the
Renomle to travel ovor the entire universe
proclaiming with tho sound of the trumpet
tho Infallibility of the 'powder to which
sho gave her name. We regret having been
competed lo change the orthography of tills
namo In order to procure the trademark.
Now that you know tho pedigree of the
Re-No-May try her qualities and be con
vinced of Its efficiency,

a mouth full of bad taste, yet you know nothing of the
