A certain man who had a wife
who dotted on him, arrived at his
18th birthday, and his wife con-
cluded she would present him with
a token of her love. She according
ly bought him smoking jacket
that cost S18, and had it charged
in the bill. The man never wore
smoking jacket. but he tried
to make believe that the present
tickled him nearly to death, until
he was presented with the bill and
had to dig up eighteen plunks.
Then he took the subject up with
his wife in gentle way, saying.
Ny dear, if it is just the same to
you, would rather take your
affection on credit than to be com

back. Four times in six years the
dollar came back to him for produce
and three times he heard of it in
the pockets of his neighbors. The
last time he got it four years ago
he sent it to mail order house. He
has not seen the dollar since and
never will. That dollar will never
pay any more school or road tax
for him, will never build up or
brighten any of the homes of the
community. He sent it entirely
out of the circle of usefulness to
himself and his neighbor. Fix

Valuable to His Town.

The man who is valuable to his
town is man who keeps in close
touch with the current events of
the day. On the other hand the
man who does not keep himself
informed can not be of much
force in the community in which
he lives. Every man must be-
long to one of the two classes;
he must either keep up with the
times and be help to the own in
which he lives, or else he must be
ignorant of passing events, and
therefore be a hindrance to pro-
greSS in his locality. You must
belong to one of the two classes.

of paying for what I can't eat,
chewing up rubber and calling it
meat. Backward, turn backward,
how weary l am, give me swipe

milk that has not been skinned;

are trimmed; let me once more
have an old fashioned pie; then I'll
be ready to curl up and die.

AMERICAN SLAVES
Chas. Rhodes EmanCip alton
Act that will Free
Thousands.

Chas. Rhodes, Alma's leading druggist,
is ready to restore freedom to many who
have been in absolute slavery.
No one appreciates better than the
victim of indigestion that he is an abject
slave TO his stomach, and Mr.. Rhodes, in
guaranteeing that Mi-o-na will strengthen
the stomach so that you can eat what you
want and when you want it, removes all
fear of further bondage.
The stomach is to the body what the
foundation is to the house and when it is
weakened or diseased, one organ after
another is affected until the heart, lungs,
kidneys and liver will all be involved.
Indigestion causes nervousness, sleepless-
ness, head aches, back aches, distress
after eating, furred tongue, and general
weakness and debility.
Mi-o-na is not a mere temporary relief
for indigestion. but positive remedy for
all stomach troubles, promoting good
digestion, stimulating the secretions, and
restoring health
Ask Chas. Rhodes 10 show you the
guarantee under which he sells Mona.
