n0utOn Sisters Opening.

The mecca of the ladies' last
Friday was the MOutOn Sisters
spring and summer opening.
Their handsome new brick store
was tastefullv decorated and the
large show windows trimmed
and Ornamented with pot flowers.
Inside there was a bewildering
display of beautiful bOnnets and
lovely feminine headgear of all
kinds. From early morning till
late in the evening the store was
thronged with visitors inspect
ing, admiring and purchasing,
to each of whom a pretty sOuve-
mir pin tray was given as a
mementO of the occasion. The
opening was quite a success and
was greatly enjoyed by the ladies
who attended.

Miuionaire's Poor Stomach.

The WORKOUT stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as a horrible example of
the evils attendant on the possession
of great wealth. But milliOnaires are
not the only ones who are afflicted with
bad stomachs. The proportion is far
greater among the tOilers. Dyspepsia
and indigestion r rampant among
these people, and they suffer far worse
tOrtures than the millionaire unless
they avail themselves of a standard
medicine like Green's August Flower,
which has been a favOrite household
remedy for all stomach troubles for
over thirty-tive years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating
appetite and insuring perfect digestion.
