The editor OF THE TIMES was deep
ly appreciative OF the invitation from
the Teachers Association to address

the invitation was extended at noon

frank to confess that our views dc
not coincide entirely with the unan
imous opinion OF that association,

will be fully discussed il the court
orders an election on that question in
response to the Associations resolr-
ton.

w AS 1T DYSPEPSIA?
Extreme Thinness q SymptOm-ScIentific
Way by Which it Can be Cured.


Mi-o-na cures dyspepsia by the only
natural method of giving tone and
strength to the digestive organs,
soothing and healing the irritated and
infiamed conditions, and mingling
with the food so that il is more easily
assimilated and digested.
Extreme thinness and emaciation is
one of the principal symptoms of in
digestion, but many of the following
symptoms are also in evidence:
Uneasiness at stomach, acidity.
water-brash, splitting up of food, col
ic, sensation of weight or heaviness at
pit of stomach, sore mouth. constipa-
ton, sediment in urine, night sweats.
headache. cold hands and feet, pain
under shoulder blade. pain between
shoulders, confusion of mind, defects
of vision or hearing, fiatulency, heart
burn, nausea. gripes, coated tongue,
sour taste IN the mouth. diarrhoea,
dry skin, nervousness, sick headache,
congestion of the head. vertigo or dir
illness, drowsiness, sleeplessness, pal
pitation of the heart.
Mi-o-na will cure dyspepsia. A so
cent bottle will give strength and tone
TO the digestive organs and aid the
food to assimilate, while its continued
use for a reasonable length of time
will bring back natural weight and
restore health and strength.
A few days use of Mona will show
a marked gain in health and in few
weeks the cure viii be complete. This
is strong statement, but L. H. Thorn
as emphasizes it by agreeing to re-
fund your money if Mi-o-na does not
do all that is claimed for it.

\ capacity house should have greet
ed the production of "The Bonnie
Brier Bush by Kirk La Shelle's com
pany at the Illinois last evening. The
company is headed by that grand old
man of the stage, J. III. Stoddart, who
has been before the footlights for 60
years. His creation is so natural and
unaffected that it seems as though
the author had him in mind when he
pictured to himself the character of
Lachlan Campbell. The story is sweet,
pure and wholesome, and the atmos-
phere and language of the land of
| the Scot, in which the action takes
place. are adhered to with the same
verify as the novel. Reuben Fax as
l"POsty" is very successful in his char
acter and is a close second to Mr..
StOddart in point of artistic work.
AS the name indicates, THE Bonnie
Brier Bush" is Scotch rural play
telling of how the son of an earl,
Lord Donald Hay, wins the heart of
the old shepherds daughter, Flora
Campbell, and weds her in the Scotch
fashion before being taken away by
his father. Lachlan Campbell the
shepherd, finds that his daughter is
writing to Lord Donald, and, not be-
lieving in the marriage story. he casts
her from the house with bitter re-
prCaches. afterwards erasing her
name from the family bible. But his
old heart is sore troubled and he is on
the verge of breaking down with
wretchedness and the reproaches of
his friends when the daughter returns
as well as Lord Donald to claim his
wife. The legality Of the Scotch mar
riage is established by Archibald Nc
Kittrick, known as Posty. the mail
carrier, who had witnessed the we'd
ding from behind a convenient hay
stack. The play was given with a
most sumptuous scenic equipment
and an excellent acting company,
among whom were Robert V. Fergu-
son, Damon Lyon, Mabel BrOwnell,
George Warnock, Adelaide Cumming.
