growth in membership. Secretary Smith

Cooler weather is predicted for today.
The weather man -msef will be glad of

lows and few other things that are not
down in the secret book Of the weather-
office. There will be an even three dozen
schoolmams visit the weather office this

people of Wichita and vicinity. But the
weather man says it will be fair and
cooler today. The weather office is a
mighty interesting place to visit. To
person who kn ows absolutely nothing
about atmospheric conditions and cleo
tricity the weather office Will interest
him, and to the expert the office will be

KNOWS MONA WILL CURE.
Geo. e. Greene has such faith IN
this great dyspepsia remedy that
he guarantees it.

It is an unusual thing for a druggist
to sell medicine under guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure.
Yet this is the way Geo, E. Greene, the
popular druggist, is selling Mio-na,
the standard dyspepsia remedy.
Never before has he had SO large a
number of customers tell him that a
medicine has cured as with Mi-o-na.
People who few months ago looked
like walking skeletons have put on
flesh and today are ruddy and vigorous
with perfect digestion and good health,
solely due TO the use of this remedy.
There is no longer any need of any
one suffering or making their friends
suffer on account of dyspepsia, for
Mi-o.na can be relied upon to cure.
The percentage of cures is so nearly one
hundred per cent. that there is little
risk to Geo. +. Greene in guaranteeing
to return the money if the medicine
does not cure And be stands ready TO
do so without any questions.
Headaches, all forms OF indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,
poor sleep, ringing in the ears and all
forms of liver trouble are cured by Mi
o-na. A few days treatment shows con
siderable gain in health and cure
speedily follows.
These days are the best in the whole
year for the enjoyment of good health.
And Mi-o-na will put you in such per
feet condition that you can enjoy ev-
cry minute of them.
