of Life
No One Can be Strong With g
Weak Stomach w. n. Sheldon
Tells How it May be
Strenqthened.

The stomach is the handspring of life.
When it is strong and acts perfectly,
then the whole system is right, assimi-
luton is perfect, and body and brain are
thoroughly nourished.
One may perhaps get temporary relief
from stomach troubles by using pepsin,
or some other digestant. but this treat
ment has no curative effect. 1t does not
reach the seat of the trouble and remove
the cause.
How much better to use Mona,
which restores lost functions of the
whole digestive system, ~revives tagging
nutrition, and aids in the assimilation of
food.
Mi-o-na is a pleasant remedy to use,
and benefit is seen from almost the first
days treatment. 1t restores the torpid
glands and stimulates the natural di-
gestive secretions. 1t checks fermen-
tation, stops germ growth, soothes in
%flammation, and cures all troubles, such
as headaches, backaches, rheumatic
pains, furred tongue, sleeplessness, nerv-
business, and general debility, which are
caused by imperfect digestion.
1t is the only remedy that is so uni
formly successful in the IRE of stom.
ach diseases that w. ii. Sheldon is will.
ing to give a guarantee with every 5C
cent box of Mi-o-na that the remedy will
cost nothing unless it cures. He has sc
much faith in Mi-o-na that he is willing
| to take all the risk.

PETTY CHARGES.

Immediately after the Republican
state convention in Duluth it was an
nounced that A. L. Cole, the Repub-
lican nominee for governor, was an
old soldier But his memory has
failed so badly since the close Of the
war that Mr.. Cole cannot now remem-
Der of what regiment he was a mem
Der. 1t would be dangerous to put q
man with such a treacherous memory
in the governors chair.-Faribault
Pilot.
The immortal Shakespeare said. "In
the great game of life, the gentlest
gamest is soonest winner" The same
saying might be applied to the polit-
zeal game, but it seems impossible to
apply It to that game, each party
striving to belittle the candidates Of
the opposition in which neither party
as a rule can claim any exemption.
but Of all the petty, malicious charges
that ever came to the notice Of the
editor of this paper the charge that
Mr.. Cole claimed to be veteran Of
the Civil war Is the lowest, and If the
opposition party can find nothing else
against him the leaders who are work
ing in the interest of Mr.. Johnson
would do well to put a stop to the
low business. Fair play is a jewell
and the party which forgets to be fair,
while it may win for while, is sure
to be discredited in time.-Brainerd

WHAT COLES OPPONENTS SAY

The ST. Paul Daily News, Governor
Johnson's st. Paul organ, approves
without qualification the reforms
urged by A. L. Cole in his Kenyon
speech. The article is as follows:
"Mr. Coles keynote, struck at Ken
yon, chimes pieasantly-no dissen-
sions there nor note of quarrel
"He favors enforcement of law, re-
duction of railroad rates, correction Of
insurance abuses, equalization of tax
es, economy in expenditures, develop
ment of the state, reclamation of
waste lands.
There is not line in the carefully
prepared address to provoke dispute,
not an utterance to excite opposition.
Every citizen in Minnesota may SOL
emily cross his heart and soberly sub
scribe to all that was said.
"Mr. Cole makes no pretense to elo-
quence and his plain sentences have
not disturbed the states midsummer
tranquility. His supporters will pro-
nounce 1t pleasing and wholly salts
factory. For that matter, so will his
opponents.
The Daily News Is pleased to COM
mend it cheerfully, giving full faith
and credit to the good intentions
there expressed Nowise startling, it
Is simple and STRAIGHTFORWARD state
ment of purposes in which every citi-
zen may cordially concur.
IF every one voted for him who
finds in this keynote speech nothing
with which to disagree Mr.. Cole
would be elected unanimously. Con-
trariwise. If we must elect governor
every one who takes the position that
Is outlined we must elect about 4O0,-
900 men governor of Minnesota next
November
There is nothing in the address
one unconsciously uses negatives in
speaking of ito shake the state
with oncoming thunders, nor yet, if
Mr.. Cole should be elected, to cause
the state dismay.
There is nothing to detract from
the esteem in which he has been held
deservedly, not an argument to win
to him any who demand that he show
cause why he should be elected"
To the average reader it must ap-
pear that If Mr.. Coles platform is
such as every one approves and that
If every one votes for him who en-
dorsee his attitude he will have a
majority of 100000 next November it
IL scarcely worth while looking fur
Their for q candidate who will reflect
the views Of the people of Minnesota
That surely is reason enough why the
people should vote for him.

COLE GIVES VIEWS
ABOUT STATE LANDS

Favors the Passage of Broad Con-
stitutionai Amendment Regarding
Taxation.
Hon. A. l.. Cole In recent address
discussed the question of taxation and
made plain statement of his views
on that subject. He said:
"On the tax question have decided
views. The state has developed to a
point where the expenditures for gov
ernmental purposes has reached an
enormous figure. In 1905 more than
s22,000,000 was taken by direct taxa
ton from the earnings of our people
and spent to run tSfE various depart
ments Of our state and municipal adj
ministration When we realize that
this sum does not include special local
improvement assessments, licenses of
all kinds, nor the gross earnings tax
of railroads, insurance companies,
telegraph and telephone companies
and the like, nor the states income
from its own investments, we must be
convinced that this is one of the very
important subjects which is now be-
fore our citizens for consideration.
"a large part of our public expendi-
lures is fer objects as to which it is
the states policy to exercise liberal
ity. More than 40 per cent Of The
total spent goes in one shape or an
other for the cause of popular educa-
ton. Our people believe in good
schools and approve of their mainte-
nance and improvement. think in
other directions there is room for
economy, and pledge myself, If elect
ed, to Investigate thoroughly every
avenue of possible waste and extrav-
agance, and to use my influence to re-
duce and limit OUTLAWS wherever this
can be done without prejudice to eff
fcient service. But the burden will
be heavy, notwithstanding all that
can be done in this way, unless we
improve our methods of taxation.
I'VE have now in operation a sys-
tenn Which came into existence when
business conditions were much differ
ent from what they are at present.
New forms of wealth have been Great
ed and accumulations are held il such
shapes which were then unknown, and
which our laws contain no provision
for reaching The result is that prop
erty Of one sort Is overtaxed, and prop
erty of another sort escapes entirely.
For these reasons I am III favor of the
proposed tax amendment to the state
constitution, which is to be voted on
at the coming election. If adopted,
1t will enlarge the powers Of the legis-
lature very materially and make it
possible to enact a revenue law i'll
harmony with scientific thought on the
subject, and which will more equitably
meet the social and economic condi-
tons existing at the present day. Ii
we got no further the first year after
its adoption than to rid ourselves Of
direct taxes for state purposes, leav-
ing this source free for the use of our
subordinate political subdivisions, we
should have made substantial progress
over what we are able to do under our
present constitutional provisions"

Stewartvflle Times, Aug. Is: Do

come in time; but you may be dead
and gone before that time arrives.
You can hasten it very much by vot-

The following from the Seattle
News concerning the progress OF work
on the battleship Nebraska, gives an
insight into the delicate and tedious
labor expended on the big war vessels,
for all of which the people must pay.
There is yet a lot Of work to be
done on the battleship. although the
vessel is taking on more and more
the looks of completed warship,
says the News. Painters, pipemen.
electricians and machinists are at
work in nearly every nook and cor
ner of the vessel.
There are said to be about 175 miles
of pipes to be laid in the big ship, of
which there are 80 or more miles of
piping vet to go in. All the electrical
and telephone wires are being strung
in pipes. aside from the vast quanti-
ty needed for the machinery general
ly.
The painting, which is now in hand,
is all exceedingly intricate and labori-
Gus work. There are several coats of
red lead to be put on, on every inch
of the inside of the vessel.
This, when 1t dries, has to be gone
over with sandpaper and smoothed
over and when this Is done to the sat
isfaction of the naval inspectors,
white enamel painting is put on in
two and thre successive coats, and
this sandpapered as before, until it
is as smooth as glass. Not blot or
blemish must show anywhere. Even
on the under side, every piece of iron
has to be given the same careful work
and close attention as the upper por-
tions.
The men are now mostly working
far down in the depths of the hold,
10 to Is feet under water, or below
the water line. They crawl about
through dark passages, through man
holes and worm their way around like
teredo in a pile.
Each workman carries an electric
| light globe in one of his hands and his
paint brush or other tool in the other
hand. The globes are fastened by
| long wires TO the wires carrying the
| current so that each workman can
carry on his work over considerable
area without changing the wire or
working in the dark.
When the naval inspector comes
along to examine the work he is pro-
vided with an incandescent globe
fastened to a long stick. This he
pokes about in and under and into
corners and never fails to see any de-
feet in the work, however small.
When it is all completed the lining
of the hattleship looks like that on a
porcelain bath tub.

KING CORN DAY IN SCHOOLS.
Honored by Special Studies and In.
vestigation.

Guthrie, Okla, April 4.-Here as
well as in all corn states north of the
Ohio river King Corn day is observed
today in the public schools. The grow
ing of corn and the selection of good
seed for raising corn formed the sub
ject of talks delivered to the children
in all public schools. To teach the
children how to select the best seed,
they were asked some time ago to
make tests of seeds at their homes
and to report the results to their
teachers today.
The material thus collected in the
schools will be summed up by the sta
tisticians of the department of agri-
culture and will be communicated in
condensed form to the growers of
corn throughout the cotton belt.
Young folks grain clubs will be or
