Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive that
simply gives temporary relief.
While it helps the food to digest, it
also has a positive strengthening ac-
ton upon the digestive organs and
puts the whole system in proper ply

the nerves of the stomach and in this
way gives that important organ the
power to digest food. In this way ma

A New Gem Stone Discovered.

A new ger, l;hs been discovered in
San Diego county. California, and
the lapidaries are delighted with it.
1t was four1 near Pals, close to the
lithis deposits. W. r. Bacon, of the
Mines Veri1cation and Development
company, describes it as being sill
cate, something similar to Iceland
Spar. - 1t is square and long 1t is
at first sight white, but when it is
held to the light and looked at. it
glows with a lovely purple amethys-
tine tint.
1t was discovered accidentally by
men working in the lithia formation.
1t attracted their attention at once
No one was able to 'place" it.
Skilled mineralogists were unable to
identify it. The Tiffany firm in New
York was communicated with, and
after the expert of the great jewel
firm had decided that the gem was a
distinct novelty, capable OF being
handled and cat, and of taking on a
high polish, there was rush of dig
gers, and enough specimens have been
taken out to depreciate its value, by
showing that it is not at all uncom-
mon. and in deposits may be actually
classed as common. The wonder is
that the formation has hitherto escap-
ed observation.
This maintains it's value for the
present, at least, ON an equality with
that of gold. 1t is apparently plenti-
full. One digger took out 5000 worth
in few minutes. - Mining Reporter.

AT the reunion of the United Con-
federate Volunteers at New Orleans
this year, the veteran General John B.
Gordon in his address said: 1--WE have
long since drawn the curtain OF oblivion
over the regretful and unseemly things
Of the past, and we cherish as Ameri-
cans the valor and noble deeds of both
armies and of all sections. We are
satisfied with our record: and the
power that would attempt to make US
blush for it, would be both stupid and
blind. We are heirs, joint heirs with
the republics children in the inherit
ance of freedom left by our sires. We
are proud of all the past. Moreover
we are now facing future pregnant
with tremendous possibilities: but we
face it with strength of hope and as
surance, born of an answering pur-
pose to discharge our every duty to all
races, and to the whole country We
are growing old: but we stand firmly
on the narrow strip of land which
separates US from a boundless ocean.
And as we go hence, we will calmly
drop our mantles on the shoulders of
our sons, who will worthily wear them;
and in no crisis Of the republic,
whether in forum or field, will they be
found wanting."

mile, and they might be double-deckers
SO that the commerce could be handled
below and the people enjoy the recrea-
ton Of the upper deck. Then Devery
wants public baths every half mile
on the water front, and he would also
have bridges and tunnels without num-
Der. He wants municipal ownership
and make the roads carry the school
children free. Along with all this he
wants $500 more policemen. Greater
New York under Devery and his policy
would be a mince-pie dream.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorials day with it's tribute OF
flowers to buried heroes is coming to
be. one of the greatest days that is OBJ
served: by the. nation, and the obser-
vance Of the. day; is marked with more
sacredness and true love and homage
as each year passes, for each Memorial
day sees added to the roster of the dead
many names, OF the. soldiers of the
great, Civil war who in one of the
bloodiest conflicts Of the world became
epoch makers, and who Gin the watch
fires Of hundred circling camps"
and with the fiery gospel writ by
FURNISHED rows of STEEL" executed in
blood the death, warrant of slavery.
Our country was born again in the
spirit Of human liberty and a reunited
people. While the traces of war are
we'll nigh obliterated, yet the national
cemeteries where rest the remains of
over 100000 Union soldiers, to say moth
ing of the graves of the old soldiers
where little flag futters in the vii
lage cemeteries throughout the land,
yet these are monuments of a sacrifice
that tested mans loyalty and which
broke down the barriers to human
liberty as we'll as to the nations
growth, and which removed the black
man from the auction block and list of
chattels, if it did not vouchsafe him
equality in citizenship. It made posi-
bic a Stephen A. Douglass, and a
Booker T. Washington and opened the
gates of liberty to a race that can work
out in the slow processes of time it's
own salvation.
The Grand Army of the Republic is
an organization whose roster is grander
than that of any Hall of Fame or
Chamber of Immortals. It is remnant
of great army of nearly 100000 loyal
citizens who helped put down the re-
bellion, and this number was less than
one-third of those who offered their
services to Father Abraham" for
there were over 100000 brave and
willing men who offered their services
but all were not drawn for the deadly
conflict.
Minnesota offered 25, 900 soldiers for
the war, but 1926 served. The North
Star State had 14.5 per cent of it's popu-
lation in the Civil war and was ex-
ceeded only by Illinois, Indiana and
Kansas in per cent Of population.
We are leaving behind in the rapid
growth the Civil war era which with
the passing of the old soldier is becom-
ing but hallowed memory, and Time
has well nigh blended the blue and the
gray. But let us rekindle the fires of
patriotism on each Memorial day by
such observance that the youth Of our
land and the generations that are to
come will know that loyalty to country
in times of a great crisis becomes an
immortal deed.

THE press Of Pennsylvania is up in
arms over the passage of the new libel
law of that state which Gov. Penny
packer has signed. The law was
passed at the behest of the governor
and Senator Quay who is an uncle of
the governor. Pennypacker has been
the victim Of some hot cartoons that
have appeared in some of the Demo-
cratic and insurgent dailies OF Phila-
delphia. The bill orders every paper
to publish the names of it's responsible
heads at the top Of it's editorial page
under penalty of from $500 to 81, 900 for
each issue. It provides compensatory
and punitive damages for negligence
upon the part of owners, editors, etc., in
ascertaining facts and both kinds of
damages for physical and mental suf-
ferings endured by the injured par
ties" Both cartoons and headlines
come under the ban. Some of the pa
pers have printed lists of ''every man
in their employ, including the print
ers' devil" as responsible heads. 9th
ers ignore the law utterly. The papers
in the state have organized and will
carry the war into Africa, and every
member of the Pennsylvania legislature
who voted for the libel bill will be
politically beheaded by the angry press.
