the open meeting of the Society Of Ameri-
can Foresters held last evening at the home
of Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, 1415 Rhode Island

they exist, and the latter setting forth the
features of an ideal law, viewed especially
from the standpoint of his experience in the

In the discussion of the papers the ma

untary as opposed to ex officio fire wardens
and patrol as one of the most effective pre-
ventive measures. During the past year
and half representatives of the bureau of
forestry have been engaged in cooperative
work with the state of California to deter
mine and promugate proper state for
estry policy" which will be submitted in

Mi-o-na acts upon an entirely different
principle from any other remedy for dys-
pepsia. 1t mingles with the food you eat,
helps it digest, strengthens the nerves of
the stomach and gives health to the whole
digestive system. Instead of the dose be-
ing increased from time to time, 1t Is
gradually lessened until natural diges-
ton has been restored and you are en-
tirely well.
Begin the use of Mi-o-na today with
the signed promise of Henry Evans that
1t will cost you nothing unless 1t cures.
