The Old Ja1anese Mail.

In the days before the ports OF ia
pan were opened to foreigners, before
telegraphs, railroads and electricity
had found their way into the island
empire, the infrequent mails were car
ried by post runners, who wore the
nerest apology Of a loin cloth and blue
and white rags around their heads
They wore for the most part an elaD-
crate suit Of tattoo, with red star on
each shoulder, the mark Of their call
ing. The letters were incased in q
waterproof package and secured to the
end Of q bamboo pole. With this over
bis shoulder and a pair Of fragile san
dals on his feet the runner started on
his long journey, making from Is to
100 miles per day. The distance they
covered seems incredible, but the men
were trained to speed and had remark
able endurance.

all coming from Texas. By refer
ence to weather reports it will
be seen that during the last crop

gave them clean fields and plants

WHERE DISEASE GERMS BREED
No Need to Fear "Gems If the Stomach
be Healthy.

The ideal breeding place for disease
germs is weak stomach and digestive
system. The food, instead Of being
assimilated, turns into a sour, Shiny,
fermenting mass, causing gases, dis
tress after eating, bloating, nausea
and fatulency. The poisonous germs
that are givenoff from this undi-ested
food enter the blood, and pimples,
bolls and blotched skin is the result.
Nervousness and sleeplessness come
more often from weakened digestion
than from any other one cause. Rheu-
matism and govt are directly caused
by an acid condition Of the stomach.
No ordinary food digestive can give
lasting relief. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary, If one wishes to be well, to use
Mi-o-na, the only known remedy that
soothes and heals the mucous MEM
brane of the stomach and digestive
tract, stimulates the solar-plexus, and
strengthens the nerves of the stomach
This remarkable remedy puts the
whole digestive system in SO healthy,
clean and sweet state that fermenta-
tion Of the food cannot exist, any dis
ease germs in the stomach will be de-
stroyed, and all food will be SO well
assimilated that rapid and healthy
increase In weight will quickly result.
Mi-o-na is a guaranteed cure for all
diseases Of the stomach, excepting
cancer, a guarantee being given by
the Red Cross Drug Store with every
package they sell, agreeing to refund
the money should the remedy not give
perfect satisfaction.
