Protect Yourself Against Germs.
PEOPLE WITH WEAK sTOMACHs MOST

PEOPLE WITH WEAK sToMACHs MOST
LIABLE TO CATCH DISEASE.
When the stomach and digestive or
gans are weak, the food does not digest,
and there is sour, Shiny, fermenting
mass, making it an ideal spot for the
disease germs to multiply. The only
way to protect yourself against disease
germs is to strengthen the stomach and
digestive organs, and Mi-o-na is the only
agent, so far as known, that will accom-
plish this.
The ordinary medicine that is taken
for indigestion and stomach troubles is
advertised to act upon the food alone,
and hence can give no more than tenn
porary relief. Mi-o-na is a certain cure
in all cases of stomach troubles, except
ing cancer, because it enables the stom-
ach and digestive organs to act in the
way Nature intended they should.
Drugs cannot digest the food; they SIM
ply decompose it.
If you suffer with distress after eating,
pains in the head, chest, sides and back,
belching of gases and undigested food,
bad taste in the mouth, dizziness or
vertigo, heartburn, variable appetite, sick
headaches, spots before the eyes, and a
general feeling of dependency, weak
ness, and debility you should at once
strengthen the stomach and digestive
system by the use of Mi-o-na. There is
no liquid, no alcohol, no spoonful doses
with Mi-o-na. Just one simple tablet
out of fifty cent box before eating, and
your stomach will soon become so strong
and healthy that you will be germ proof
Ask F. A. Shurtleff & Co. to show you
the guarantee under which they sell Mi
o-na; costs nothing unless it cures.

From Our Philosopher at Hebron

HEBRON, req. ), lSUo.
did not attend the sisters grange
dinner at The Grange Hall, Jan. 25th,
for two reasons. First, the day was a
little too smoky for me; second, did
not belong to the grange and could not
have got in if had been SO disposed.
But as near as can learn the dinner and
entertainment was bowling success.
After dinner seventeen of the best look
ing sisters acted out play entitled,
1.-The Coming Woman" They wore a
half masculine and half feminine dress,
all alike. On the back of each sister
stood out in bold relief beautiful
deaths head. As they marched into the
hall they bore flags with various notices
such as, death to the man who enters
here" and ale who enters here leaves
hope behind" They declared them
selves independent of the male sex, and
that there was nothing they were afraid
of excepting a mouse. Now | may be
mistaken, but it looks to me like a case
of petticoat government.
l wish to say in praise of our genial
mail carrier that he is the right man in
the right place. He has driven the mail
route ever since it started, and has never
failed to do his best to go through. He
is always pleasant and agreeable, besides
being quite a good looking man.

received a letter from West Minot
the other day with no name signed,
presumably from an old man. Enclosed
was another letter that he said was pick.
ed up in the road sixty years ago. 1t
was written in Poland and bears the
date of February 9th, 1913. It is an
offer of the writer's heart and hand to
Miss Olive Jane Waldron, West Buck
field. My correspondent asked If moth
er or knew the parties. l cannot ask
my mother. The time has forever gone
by. I was but five years old at that
date, and my acqaaintances we're rather
limited. Thirteen years afterward l
taught school at West Buckfield in the
Mountain District" and Waldron chill
dren attended school. Olive Jane might
have been an aunt.
We are left to muse whether this old
time lover wrote again or screwed up his
courage to "pop' with his mouth. If
he wrote again and did not write his
name palmer, Olive Jane would have
been puzzled to know who it was that
popped. If We ever pop it will be with
the mouth. We might lose the letter
else, to be read sixty years after date for
some one to smile over, and wonder If
she accepted with thanks or otherwise.
We could do nothing to puzzle posterity,
for posterity has been very kind and con-
siderate of us thus far. Blessed be
posterity.

We heard man say the other morning
that the abbreviation for February--Feb.
means Freeze every body, and that
man looked frozen in his ulster. 1t was
apparent that he needed the kind of
warmth that stays, the warmth that
reaches from head to foot, all over the
body. We could have told him from
personal knowledge that Hoods Sarsa-
parilla gives permanent warmth, it in
vigorates the blood and speeds 1t along
through artery and vein, and really fits
men and women, boys and girls, to en-
Joy cold weather and resist the attacks
of disease. 1t gives the right kind of
warmth, stimulates and strengthens at
the same time, and all its benefits are
lasting. There may be suggestion in
this for YOU,

WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD.

The first action when you have a cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
Remedy liquefies the tough mucus and
causes its expulsion from the air cells OF
the lungs, produces free expectoration,
and opens the secretions. A complete
cure soon follows. This remedy will
cure a severe cold in less time than any
other treatment and it leaves the system
in natural and healthy condition. II
