TEACHERS PAY

IL is an undoubted fact that no class

lively nieager appreciation and mone-

must needs keep repeating to himself
or herself that the virtue Of jealous
sacrifice is its own reward, for ade-
quate re~aid Of other sort the teach

this condition Of affairs President
Harper, Of the University Of Chicago,
in the current number Of the World

cases to the keeper Of our horses, OF
the keeper of our cattle. Who can
not see the utter absurdity OF this?
"The teacher, everything bcirg con
sidered, should be, and in many cases
is, the equal Of the man or woman who

Among all the remedies in +. r.

are few that they are willing to sell on

ANY one who has dyspepsia, indi-

of this hance to be made well with
out any risk Of spending their money
to no purpose Mi-o-na will cure; will
regulate the digestion win enable any

not do all this, the medicine will not
cost you a cent.
F. b. Lille & Co. have sold great
many boxes of Mi-ona in the last few
weeks and have yet to receive the first
complaint from any customer. Such
record is simply marvellous and speaks
volumes for the merit of the remedy.
II is easy enough TO fll a column

reiteration of his statement that he
did not desire his state to present his
