A DANGEROUS HABIT.
cladstone's Physician Gives Warn
ing Against Growing American
Custom

The growing habit amongst Amer.
leans of taking a mint tablet or some
other 80 called digestive after eating "a
hearty meal, is something that Sir An
drew Clarke, Mr.. GlAdstone's physician
advises strongly against, saying ut is
absolutely dangerous to take into the
stomach remedies which are popularity
supposed to aid IN the digestion of
food "
There is nothing known to the science
of medicine that can perform the work
of the human stomach Drugs do not
and cannot digest the food. They sim
ply decompose it. What can be more
revolving or disgusting than the thought
of taking something into the stomach
that is going to turn the good food you
have eaten into mass of corruption.
The only way TO overcome indigestion
and its evil effects is to remove all ir-
ritation, congestion an6 inflammation
from the stomach, liver and intestines,
and Milo na the only agent known
that will do this.
When a MILO ma tablet is taken before
each meal every trace of irritation and
and inflammation Is removed from the

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
AGAINST NEW LABOR BILL
Secretary ZeehandeIaar Presents Ar.
guments Against Measure
to Governor Pardee

The board Of directors of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
has petitioned Governor Pardee to veto
the bill passed by the California leg
islature raising the minimum pay per
diem Of laborers on public works to
$500. The resolution adopted recites
that "such pay is excessive in view
of the character of the labor required
and the hours engaged; that it would
be an exorbitant burden upon the tax
payers of this community; that it dis
eliminates against skilled labor by
placing skilled and unskilled labor on
the same basis of compensation; that
II will greatly retard public improve
ments; that, if the act becomes a law,
it will be necessary to reduce the num-
ber of laborers now employed and de-
prive them of a means of livelihood,
and that in no other state the wages
of unskilled labor are placed at such an
excessive figure"
Secretary Zeehandelaar is at Sacra-
mento as the personal representative
of the association presenting argu-
ments to Governor Pardee against the
bill.
