WHY HE PUSHES IT.

TITS a pleasure to sell a medicine
when my customers come in afterwards
and tell me how much good it has done
them," said f. w. Buchanan, the popular
druggist, to a REPORTER man. land that
is why l like to sell and recommend
Mi o.na, the dyspepsia remedy.
1.-THE distribution of samples that |
made created so much talk and so large
proportion of those who received a
sample have bought a box of Milo ma
that my clerks have been busy selling
the medicine ever since.
81 have SO much faith in this article
that / am going to guarantee it in the
future, and will return the money to any
purchaser of Mi-o-na whom II does not
cure. That may seem rash, but my
customers have said 80 many good words
in its favor that | do not expect to have
many packages returned
"Anyone who has dyspepsia, whose
food does not digest we'll, who has to
take thought as to what he can eat, and
when, can leave so cents deposit at my
store and take home box of Mi-o-na
and if the remedy does not regulate
his digestion and cure his dyspepsia, he
can withdraw his money. l don't know
but what l would be willing to pay him
interest
This shows great faith in the merit of
Mona. 1t is really a most unusual
medicine and the rapid increase in sales
since f. w. Bucknam introduced it in
Skowhegan shows that it does all that
it claims to do,-cures dyspepsia, regu-
lates digestion and enables those who
use it to eat Just what they want and
when they want with no fear of trouble

So come, we sons and daughters,
From restless city strife
Come ere you lose your relish
For the quiet joys of life:
Come back, ye rowing children,
From prairies far and wide
And cluster round the hearthstone
Once more at eventide.
Take UP your song of childhood
And sing 1t DER again;
Forget that ye are matrons
Or business loving men,
And II your eyes grow misty
Rejoice that 1t 10 SO;
A heart sincerely tender
Is the purest one to know.
Remember, with your loved ones
LIES lamp doth feebly burn;
Your parents may not linger
To greet a late return.
Forget them not, though patient;
Oh, come now while you may!
Praise God; rejoice together
On this Thanksgiving day.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased porti~r of the ear, There is
only one way to care Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When the tnbe gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy

The
Problem of a
Tired Mother

One of the marvels of our time
is the way in which the average
mother carries all the burdens of
social, benevolent, church and
family life.
It's no wonder that nerve
troubles attack the mother = how
can she help being nervous,
especially while the little ones are
so troublesomel
No woman can endure the
strain of her homework and two
or three little ones unless her
digestive powers are unusually
good. She cant manufacture force
enough to stand the strain.
We can suggest one thing that
will surely help her, and it isn't a
drug poison either. 1t is Vinol,
made by new process from that
wonderful remedy cod liver oil ;
1t S a true tonic.
Vinol is pleasant to taste, goes
right to the spot nourishes and
helps the food to nourish, is splen-
did for nursing mothers and all
tired out home helpers. l have
found it safe and good for ailing
children. With Vinlax to correct
the constipation, it has put whole
families in this place on the road
to health. Used in time, it saves
nervous breakdown. Your money
back if you don't find this true.

LITERARY NOTES.

The August Everybody's is an ideal
midsummer magazine. There are six
short stories, a little poetry, Il fine, hui
morous study of the New England far
mer, by Holman +. Day, who is called
the poet laureate of Maine: a noble de-
scription of the growing wheat, "Blade
and Sheaf" by Martha McCulloch Will
liams; A. Radcliffe Dugmore tells of the
"Shccp Dog Trials at Troutbecll," which
suggested to Alfred Ollivant the grand
scene in 'Bob, Son of Battle; Arthur E.
Johnson describes the remarkable air.
cooling machine invented by Prof. Willis
j. Moore, and there are the usual de-
partments.
Robert Barr. Quiller-Couch. T.. +. Ben
son, Harriet Prescott Spofford, Marion
Hin. Onoto Watanna and Harvey j.
O'lIiSgins are some of the names. on the
title page of the August fiction number
of Leslie's Monthly. The short story by
Benson is the best thing he has done
since "Dodo" created such a sensation,
and Robert Barr's love story, that re-
wolves around Il new and most attrac-
tive Marconi invention, is as surprising
as 1t is delightful.

of his candidacy for re-
election before the people of Wiscon-
sin at the primaries for the nonna ton
of members of the next legislature, and
that he will not accept the conditions
imposed by the La Toilette faction
which controlled the recent state con-
vention. We are glad for this reason,
that it will enable the people to decide
on the senatorship question by itself,
which is obviously desirable.
Senator Spooner has nothing to do
with Wisconsin legislation and there
fore his views on matters coming be-
fore the general assembly of that state
are really unimportant in this connec-
ton. Whether he agrees with Cover
state policy Is immaterial. or at least
should be immaterial, to the people of
the Badger state so long as he serves
the commonwealth and the country ac-
ceptably in the senate chamber at
Washington. 1t is conceded on all
sides that Mr.. Spooner's service in the
senate is cOnspicuously able. brilliant
and useful. That being true, why
should ii be interrupted because he and
Governor La Toilette do not agree on
certain matters regarding which the
senator has no vote and perhaps very
little influence?
Already one county, Racine. which
sent La Toilette delegates to the state
convention, has instructed its Republic
can legislative nominees to support
Spooner for United States senator, and
there is nothing inconsistent in it's ac-
ton. If the situation is faced bravely
by the senator's friends there is reason
to hope that Raclne's action will be-
come the general action throughout
Wisconsin,
Public interest In this campaign is
natural and Republicans outside of
Wisconsin feel that they have right
to counsel with their Badger state
brethren in a matter which affects the
hole party Senator Spooner is more
than a senator from Wisconsin. He is
leader of Republican policy and a
pillar of Republican administration and
supremacy. His subtraction from the
high circle in which he moves would
on any account be national misfor-
tune; and II would be especially un-
fortunate II coming as a result of un-
necessary factional feeling In the ranks
fof his friends at home. We are satis-

ments of the press, that the
anthracite coal operators
ought soon, in fairness to themselves,
to the public and to the business in
terests of the coal regions, to decide
either to come to basis of agreement
with the miners union for a peaceabe
resumption of work in the mines or
else take steps to break the strike.
The attitude of patient waiting served
useful purpose while feeling was high
IND there seemed to be danger Of vio-
ence. While the strike sentiment was
Vt boiling point any attempt to oper
..te the mines would surely have been
fraught with grave risks, in which the
community would have shared. But
now, to all appearances the tension
las relaxed. In isolated instances
yasheries have been started up and in
one or two instances breakers have
oeen put in motion without turbulence.
1t seems evident that the wiser heads
among the mine workers have prevailed
over those who longed to get into
trouble. If there is truth in the re-
ports that men in numbers want to re-
turn to work, the companies should
give them the opportunity to do so. If
these reports are not true, the sooner
their falsty is demonstrated the better
it will be for all concerned. If the
operators will not make overtures to
the union without test of main
strength, let the test come so that the
settlement, in any event, will be hast
ened.
One thing in this situation which
may well give concern to the business
interests of the anthracite region is the
possibility that prolonged inactivity in
our mines may have the effect perma-
nently to hand over to the soft coal
trade markets essential to the pros
perity of the anthracite trade when on
peace footing. 1t would do little good
to either side in the present controversy
to win Pyrrhic vctory-to find at the
end of prolonged agony that during the
struggle the trade on which both must
finally depend had gone elsewhere.
Whatever the existing differences, the
certain fact is that the anthracite
region cannot afford to have anthracite
permanently displaced from Industrial
markets.
One way or the other, there should
be an early ending of this strike. A
peaceful ending would be preferable
But If 1t cannot be had, then let the
end come through forcing of the
fighting. A long drawn out conclusion
would inflict unnecessary hardship on
every interest involved Clearly, the
psychological moment has arrived when
sonethiag should be done. ,...o.... . v.
