LAW
ON CALENDAR.
Supreme Court Begins February
Term at Trenton To-
morrow.

Trenton, Feb. 20:-The February term
of the supreme court will open at the
state house tomorrow. An Argument on
a writ of certiorari bringing up for re-
view the constitutionality of the state
election law, known as the act to regu-
late elections (revision of 1889 will be
one of the important cases before the
court.
The question of the constitutionality
of the law has been raised by Alan II.
Strong and former Senator Robert AdraiD
of New Brunswick, representing the four
election officers who were indicted In
that city for failure to conduct an cleo
ton last November. The men have not
been tried and contend the law is uncon-
stitutional. The writ of certorari was
allowed by Justice Fort.
The election act is attacked in sections
10 and -. Section II provides for county
boards of election of four members each,
appointed 5y the governor, not more than
two of which shall be members of The
same political party.
The contention is that these provisions
make a political test for holding office.
and it is held that the legislature has no
power to make a qualification for office
not required for the exercise Of the right
of suffrage.

PDOTECT YOU SELF AGAINST
GERMS.
People With Weak Stomachs Most Liable
TO Catch Disease.


When the stomach and digestive organs
are weak, the food does not digest, and
there is a sohr, Shiny, fermentiDg mass,
making it an ideal spot for The disease
germs to multiply. The only way TO
protect yourself against disease germs is
20 strengthen the stomach and digestive
organs, aud Mi-o-na IN the only agent, as
far as is known, that will accomplish this.
The ordinary medicine that is taken
for indigestion and stomach troubles is
advertised to act upon the food alone,
ard hence can give no more than tenn
| pora,y relief. NJ, o ma is q certain cure
in all cases If 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 simply de-
comp Sc it
If you suffer with distress sfter eating,
pains in the head, chest, sides and back,
belching Of gases and undigested food,
| bad taste in the mouth, dizziness, or
vertigo, III artburn, variable appetite, Kick
headaches, spots before tho eyes, and
! have a general feeling of dependency,
| weakness, and debility you should at
, once strengthen the stomach and diges-
| tive systrm by the use oi Mi-o-ra. There
is no liquid, no alcohol, no spoonful doses
with Mi-o.na. Just one simple tablet
out of a fit, cent box before eating, and
our stomach will soon become so strong
and healthy that you will be germ proof.
Ask g. A Sexton TO show you the guar
antee un"er which he sells Mi-o-na !;
| costs nothing unless it cures.
