Monday he met Messrs. Bailey and
Cole at the Chittenden and laid before

before Lewis Sells.
The latter demurred, saying that the
property ought to bring more money,

The life of Willie Sells reads like a

STOMACH TROUBLES COMMON NOW
Winter Food and Living Strain Diges-
tive Organs. Use F1i-O-na and
Be Well

The hearty food and overeating so
common in winter strain the stomach
and digestive organs so that by this
time the average person is out of
health. It may be a simple headache,
possibly sIeeplessness, or a general
tired, weak feeling. but the chances
are that the stomach is weak and can
not properly take care of the food,
and as a result there IS heartburn, in
digestion, lack of energy and a gem
eral tagged out state.
The stomach needs health and
strength. The various aches and pains
that you have are the stomach's cry
for help and its warning that it has
been overworked.
Give it strength by taking a Miro
ma tablet before each meal, and it
will soon do its work so promptly and
naturally that you will not realize you
have a stomach. There win be no
acidity, no hatulency, no gripping about
the heart, no unpleasant gases, no
furred tongue, no Inflammation of
the mucous membrane.
A soc box of Mi-o-na will bring
buoyancy OF spirit in place of lassi-
tude and dependency. It will help
the overtaxed stomach to start fairly
on the road to health. It will give the
sleep so necessary to brain and nerve
centers.
Ask Rowley & snow, 500 Kansas
avenue. one of the most reliable drug
stores in this section, to show you the
strong guarantee under which they
sell Mi-o-na. Use Mi-o-na and you
can soon eat what you want and all you
want, for it will strengthen the weak
est condition of your stomach and re-
establish good digestion.
