Distinctively Different,
In Every Way the Best.

The Weekly Globe Democrat, of ST.
Louis, covers a field peculiarly and ex-
clusively its own.
1t is issued twice every week. big
SEMI WEEKLY paper. Eight to ten
large pages every Tuesday and Friday.
One Dollar year.
Nothing particularly different you say,
about that-there are other 'Twice-a-
Week papers.
Yes, but the similarity ends there. No
other paper is like the GLOBE Democrat in
any other respect. No other paper
equals the Globe Democrat in any res
pect
An entirely unique feature of the
Globe-D Democrat a feature which is
highly priced by its readers, is its sys-
tematic method of preserving and pre-
senting the CONTINUITY OF NEWS.
The two papers each week, Tuesday
and Friday, are carefully prepared with
the view of giving the complete news OF
all the world for that week.
They are SO combined in the makeup
as to form continued and connected
stories of the various important events,
showing the developments from day TO
day. and the final results.
Other weekly and twice-a-week pa
pers. as n rule, print only a few teie-
grams of the day of issue.
The "Twice Week" Globe Democrat
gives the kilograms Of every day in the
week more comprehensively than the
average Hailv and of more value to the
average reader.
Moreover. the "Twice-a Week" Globe
Democrat is not simply an echo OF the
Daily edition.

eral Offer by 6owditch, Webster &

Those who never have any stomach
troubles and whose digestion is like
that of an ostrich cannot possibly un-
derstand the sorry condition Of many
in Augusta today.
Life does not seem worth the living;
they bear up with nervous irritation,
sIccpleSSnees, pain and misery i'm the
stomach, headaches. backachCS, ard
have a constant fear that what they
eat is going to disagree with them and
cause still greater distress.
In Mi-o-na there is a remedy that
restores the lost functions Of tie dice
tive system. ravives tagging nutrition,
and aids in the assimilation Of food.
This remedy soothcs and heals the ir-
,i1ated and innamed walls Of the stom-
acn. strengthens the nerve ccnterS "f
The digestive system. ana makes Il per-
manent and positive cure in all forms
of stomach trouble, excepting cancer.
Bcwditch, Webster & CO. and Percy
W. Means MAKE Il very liberal offer in
conn, elton with Mi-o-na, giving Il
guarantee with every 50-cent box they
sell that if the remedy does not give
satisfaction, il will cost nothing. Be-
GIN its use at once. and see how quick
~ you will get rcilef.

them into hears, their motions as
regular as clockwork. Some were
cleaning. never saw a farm ma
chine but in one field. Their fathers
worked with their hands, and their
grandfathers before them, and so they
go on in their narrow way, perfectly
satisfied with themselves and what
they have. 1t is like the wide street
that grew up crooked because the
first to pass that way was calf that
was wabbly and went from side to
side, and the next followed in the
same path. and the next, never think
ing of improvement.
We saw woman and her daughter
sewing in beautiful garden one day,
so we just walked In and asked them
to pose. They were very pleased to
do so, and were fiattered because we
admired the garden. They took us
all over 1t, pointing out every pet fea.
ture with great pride; the river that
ran at, the end of 1t. There were
many bird cages against the house
wall and shelves full of ported flow
ers, great spreading fuchsias and
hanging plants; there were little dens
for rabbits and one for the dog built
in the foundations of the house. A
delightful place.

The maiden lady opened her purse

deepened into the mystic melody that
seems to be the general heritage of
her race; and she almost chanted
