Miss May YoHE, the actress,
whose recent career has furnished
much material for newspaper writ
ers, is the daughter of a Yankee
school teacher and Pennsylvania
Dutch farmer. Her mother was
Miss Elizabeth Bateheller, who in
her early years, lived in Douglas, a
Massachusetts town just over the
Rhode Island line. Miss Batcheller
went to Pennsylvania and their mar
ried Mr.. Yohe, an honest tiller of
The soil. May Yohe since Lady
Francis Hope, was the only child of
this union. The writer remembers
her as a little girl on visits with her
mother to the lstter's old Massschu-
sets home. She was one OF the
show-child sort, possessed with a
great amount of life and a great deal
of self possession and confidence. A
vast deal Of care was spent on her
education and she was, if we are not
mistaken, trained for the stage. Her
life has certainly been a very varied
one.

NATURES METHOD
CURING DYSPEPSIA

Natures only method of curing dys.
pepsia is TO heal the diseased parts.
Nhen the stomach and bowels are
healthy they work unconsciously and
thoroughly, every atom OF food is di-
gested and assimilated, the blood en-
riched, the muscles strengthened and the
whole body in vigorous condition.
When these organs are diseased, diges-
ton is imperfect, the blood impoverished
and filed with impurities, the liver,
nerves and kidneys become deranged
and the whole body is sick.
To try and rectify this condition by de
composing the food with drugs and di-
gestiye ferments is not only absurd but
exceedingly dangerous. There is moth
ing known in the science OF medicine that
can take the place Of the human stomach.
Drugs do not and cannot digest food, they
only decompose il, and while this pro-
cess relieves the patient for the time, de-
composed food contains none OF those
elements which 90 20 make pure blood,
strong muscles, steady nerves ana
healthy body. In fact no person ever
died from dyspepsia, whose death can
not be traced 90 the debilitating effects Oh
drugs and digestive ferments used IN
treating the disease.
MI-O-NA Is the only remedy yet known
10 medicine which does not act on the
food at all, but directly upon the diges-
tive organs themselves.
This vegetable used daily by the natives
Of Hawaii (aOheYe dySbebSia IS HHkhoUH)
Is natures own cure for diseased diges-
tive organs 1t allays all irritation, re-
moves Inflammation, heals the sore spots
and makes these organs perform the
work OF digestion perfectly.
Just one small tablet before meals ana
on retiring and the most confirmed dys-
peptic will soon be able 10 eat anything
tit for human food without the least dis
comfort.
