DECOMPOSED FOOD


You never heard OF a person dying
from dyspepsia until those remedies sup
posed 20 assist the stomach in digesting
iood came into general use. But since
the sale Of these cures has become so
universal, such deaths are OF daily occur
renee.
These supposed digestive ferments and
drugs do not and cannot digest iood.
They afford relief from pain after eating,
ONLY because they decOmpose the ioOd

can begin it's painful attempt 20 digest

DecolnpositiOn destroys all OF those
qualities in food which are necessary 70

these remedies are used the blood soon
becomes impure, the nerves weakened,
the muscles habby, the brain Affected
and the whole body poisoned.
Drugs and digestive iermcnts can never
take the place Of the human stomach
and there is but one way by which dys-
pepsia and indigestion can be perma-
nently cured and this is by healing the
djseascd organs and making them per
form the work OF digestion as nature IN
tended.
Up TO the present time there is but one
remedy for dyspepsia that has for IT. sole
object the cure Of the diseased organs
themselves. this is the new vegetable
cure, MONA.
Mi-o-NA, unlike any other remedy, does
not act on the food in any way, but does
act directly upon the digestive organs,
removes every trace Of irritation and in
aammation forces the juices OF the stom.

thus enables these organs TO extract from
the food all the nourishment required to

CHRISTIAN NORTHUMBERLAND

Christian Science, as Mrs Eddy's
philosophy Is called, has attracted a
good deal Of attention IN Germany
1t is stated that Miss schoen, the leader
Of the German movement, has obtained
followers IN the higher circles Of Ber-
lin society, and that may be one rea-
son why members Of the relohstag have
thought II necessary to call the sub
ject for debate In that august body.
The emperor has also manifested
deep interest in the movement 1t
seems that he has conferred with the
imperial court chaplain and the pres-
dent Of the police as to the best means
Of suppIessIng It. and that he used
strong language during the confer
ence The result however was an
agreement that only moral weapons
should be used IN the fight. as the
healcrs apparently are sincere In their
belief
This reflects credit on the German
authorities. The employment OF force
In the suppression Of any error Of that
kind Is great mistake. Il makes
"martyrs' and furnishes an impetus
toward growth. Il raises up friends
among q good class Of people TO whose
hearts persecution always appeals. It
speaks Well for Germany, that It's lead
Ing men take stand for liberty IN

people In this country who might
profit by the example set-people who

NOT A WHITE MANS LAND,

Senator Bacon OF Georgia does not
believe that the Philippines are suitable
for the white race. He Is quoted to
the effect that white men cannot work
there, on account Of the climatic condl-
tlons. They may 80 there for q short
time, In quest Of adventure, but as a
general rule they VIII not stay there for
any length OF time.
The climate Is equally detrimental to
the health Of white women. The sena-
tor Ia emphatic on this point He says
that according to his information, no
white woman can live in the islands
Tor more than two years without the
loss OF health And this fact alone. he
argues should be sufficient reason for
young men to keep away from there,
except for a short time.
This view seems to be contradleted by
the spaniards, and other Europeans
have actually established themselves in
the Islands and become acclmatized.
But II It Ia true that the Philippines
neither are nor can become a white
mans country, there Is no danger OF q
conflict between the white and native
races, such as those which have been
raging upon this continent ana IN which
the natives have always been crowded
to the wall The Fillplnos, then, need
not fear determination in an Industrial
war with a superior race. They can
look with tranquility upon the attempts
now being made TO civillze them They
have very little excuse for their long
drawnout armed resistance.

They may, therefore, be regarded as
authentic, They are all we'll written
and beautifully illustrated on good pa
per, which brings out the cuts In splen-
did form. Salt Lake City Is accorded
70 pages including Illustrations, and
the account comes from the facle and
conscientious pen Of Dr. James u. Tai
mage whose thorough acquaintance
with our local affairs and ability as q
writer qualify him fully for the work
entrusted to him. That he has acqut-

stand that fact our city Is presented
In It's true light and Is neither deoried
nor painted In gaudy colors. The truth
Is set forth in choice language, and Dr.
