HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Strengthen the Stomach With Mi-o-na
and Get Perfect Health.

The source of health is the stom-
ach and the digestive system. When
acting as Nature designed they
should, the organs of digestion do
their work regularly and uncon-
sciously, like perfect machine.
Those who use Mi o-na do not have
sallow complexion, sunken cheeks,
nor ffabby flesh. Their skin has
ruddy glow, the eyes are bright. the.
breath sweet and the step elastic. In
short, the users of Mi-o-na have the
maximum of good health and are
plump, rosy and robust.
Ninetenths of all sickness comes
from weak stomach, causing loss of
flesh, shattered nerves, fatuIency,
heartburn, sick headaches, backaches
spots before the eyes, rheumatic
troubles, and general weakness and
debility. Take a Mi-o-na tablet be-
fore each meal, and ali irritation, con-
gestion and inflammation in the stom-
ach or bowels will be Immediately
soothed and relieved. In fact, the
stomach will become well aud strong
and the whole system flied with
strength and vitality.
Even if a weakened stomach has
brought you to 4 chronic stage of Ill
health. where life is one long drawn
out pain, do not despair. Mto-na VIII

south central portion of the disiricf.
Each of said buildings tobe strong,
substantial and practical, and to be
constructed so as to form in ITSELF a
complete unit, and yet to permit adj
ditions should future demands require
it, at all times preserving the architec-
tural harmony aud symmetry of the

TALKING OF TRIPS.
But the Greatest Trip Next Week +
to Norfolk.

This is the time of year when peo-
pie talk of trips, but one trip that is
being talked of now is the trip to
Norfolk next Thursday to see the
great Thanksgiving football game be-
tween the University of North Caro-
lima and the University of Virginia.
The quickest way to get there is a
question no one has to worry about, as
the Seaboard Air Line has the quick
est schedule and will put the great
crowd from North Carolina into Nor
folk hours before the game begins.
Specials will leave Durham at $50
and Raleigh at 700 o'clock on
Thanksgiving morning and the train
will reach Norfolk at half after eleven
O'Clock, giving full time for Thanks
giving dinner and to reach the foot
ball grounds.
Travelling Passenger Agent c. H.
Gattis of the Seaboard has arranged
for the best coaches for the trip, and
despite the great crowd he will carry
the order is to be Of the best, as spe-
cial police will be carried. 1t is to be
a happy trip, and that the popular
route is the one over which to go is
shown by the fact that the University
of North Carolina football team IS
going to travel over the Seaboard.
