THIS COSTS YOU NOTHING.
sowditeh & Webster Will Return Your
Money if Mi-o-na; Does Not Cure
Dyspepsia and Increase Flesh.


There are hundreds of people in Au-
gusta who We're not the least bit sur
prised when they read in the Journal
that Bowditch & Webster were selling
Mi-o-na under guarantee to refund
the money, in case it did not cure indi-
gestion and increase weight. I'D. ..,
This remarkable preparation is a.
true flesh-forming food, that builds up
good, healthy, solid tissue, and makes
thinness and scrawniness a thing of
the past.
1t tones up the digestive organs, and
will cure the worst case Of indiges-
ton, headache, dizziness, or the de-
pressed, weak condition that aftiicts
nearly everyone who suffers with
stomach trouble. Mi-o-na does not
simply relieve; it does lasting good.
In ~ out of every 100 cases where
Mi-o-na is used, the result is a restora-
ton of perfect harmony between height
and weight and an absolute and per-
manent cure of all stomach troubles.
There are today hundreds in Au-
guSta who are recommending Mi-o-na
because it cured them. A few months
ago they were thin and dyspeptic, and
could eat nothing without fear OF
stomach trouble. Since using Mi-o-na
they-~have made noticeable gain In
flesh, can eat what they want, and
when they want, without fear OF sur
fering.
Remember that you risk nothing in
buying Mi-o-na. If 1T gives you the
desired effect the cost is trifIing, If 1t
fails Bowditch & Webster will pay for
the remedy themselves.

M00IQLOGY-

Herman Reel is tne author Of a
neat little booklet published by the
Milwaukee Produce Co.. of which he is
president. His company makes a
speciality of dealing in wool, but also
handles seeds, beans, peas, potatoes,
ginseng and furz. Apparently MIR. Reel
is a single taxer. He says:
Taxes come to everybody. They
are assessed most incquitably. .
Farmers pay more than their share.
They compose about half our popula-
tion. They pay over 60 per cent OF
all direct taxes. The site value of
their land (unimproyed) is less than
One-fourth Of the site value of our
mines, railroads, water power privil-
eges, city lots. some of which are
worth whole counties of farm land
The difficulty with taxation is
that we proceed from a false premise
We try to tax people according to
their ability TO pay We ought tC
tax them according to benefits en-
joyed.'

gressonal Record becomes a mendacious high-watef
mark in Globe annals-and no worse than that is to
be imagined
Buffers personal cause Is not the issue. by any
means. The real iseue is the highhanded act
OF the House in seating candidate who was not
elected, and giving large district virtually no voice
in representation. The poorest way to wipe out the
Butler influence in downtown wards is to Cypress his
district by giving 1t Representative who was not
elected. The House Of Representatives, the local
Republican machine and all defenders Of the Dalzell
tactics put themselves level with Butler. His
methods were verse than theirs.
II the Republicans had been clever in their plans
to gain sympathy among the voters Of ST Louis they
would have urged adherence to right for the right
cannot be made more right by making right wrong.
The wise and the sound course would have been to
unseat Butler and remand the matter to the Twelfth
District to be settled Mt another election. Buffers
friends can now state that Wagner was seated by
dishonest methods. This is g potent way to per-
petuate Butlersm Schawackerism and the other isms
in downtown wards.
