Indigestion Makes Life Miserable
How to Cure If.

How to Cure it.
There is no Qsed of telling a person
with stomach trouble that Indigestion
makes life miserable The burning
and gnawing feeling in the stomach,
the sick and nervous headaches, the
sleeplessness. general debility, aching
back. specks before the eyes, and the
nervousness, irritability and despond-
ency that come from indigestion,
make life a torment.
Happily a physicians prescription
for stomach troubles called Mi-o-na
stomach tablets, Is now for sale by
F. G. Fowler who recommends 1t as
an absolute and complete cure for in
digestion and all stomach ills Milo
na is not a temporary relief or mere
digestive. Take one of the little tab
let's before meals for a few days and
the digestive organs will be so toned
and strengthened that you will be
able to eat anything intended for food
without fear of indigestion and dis
Mona rs so universally successful
in curing all forms of stomach weak
nesses that L. q. Fowler gives a sign
ed guarantee with each SOC box that
your money will be refunded unless
the remedy gives you satisfaction.
This certainly shows his strong faith
in the medicine. Many of his eusto-
mers have used II with the greatest
success and praise 1t highly as the
only cure they have ever found for
stomach troubles

Parking for the Town.

The town parks, or the town or
village square are the lungs OF its
citizens.
If the town is growing, it is none too
soon to start a movement to provide
for the securing of ample town park
ing. The land is increasing; when the
town has doubled and has become a
small city, it will not be so easy to
secure sites, readily accessible to the
people, without paying an exorbitant
price. Secure first the land; it is not
important that a large amount or
money should be at once expended
upon it's Identification, possibly 1t
needs but little, since nature may have
made it more beautiful than can man.
1t is not necessary that it should be
transformed into carpet bids or
flowers and trinity kept lawns. Ii It
affords sunlight and a green relic or
grass and trees for the eye, it becomes
a civilizer and an equalizer, for the
poor as well as the wealthy, resting
place where man may forget, Tor
the time, some of his struggles and
his anxieties I'm a contemplation or
what God has made.
The park should be kept, In fact, as
natural as is consistent with its use as
such. 1t is never too early, however,
to secure its site, with view to the
building up of the community, When
land values will necessarily Increase.

These undertakings, while practical

solutions of many Of the problems OF
modern city life ever attempted In this
country. 1t is in line with the best
enterprises for solving the questions OF
housing, sanitation, education and
morals. AS such it should command
the attention and cooperation or all
constructive social workers.
The Homecrofters Gid offers garden
work and craftsmanship as a substi-
tute for the street corner, the cheap
show and the saloon. And 1t offers In
addition health, contentment and
substantial increase in income to the
workers. The increase takes practi-
cal form in the shape Of health from
work in the air, from fresh vegetables
and fruits, from q clean environment
and from absence Of bad habits; from
money saved from useless pastimes;
from absence of doctors bills and from
direct return in the way OF COM
modities for use in the home or for
sale.
The founder and main supporter OF
the movement is Mr.. George IL. Max
we'll editor Of Maxwelrs Talisman ana
founder of the National Irrigation
Movement. AS a student OF social con-
ditions, Mr.. Maxwell has concluded
that college settlements and similar
movements merely scratch the upper
surface of the problem and fail utterly
to get under it and crowd it out with
better condition. His creed Is,
Every child in garden, every mother
In q homecroft, and individual, In
dustrial independence for every worker
in home of his own on the land"
MEANING OF HOMECROFT.
The word "Homecroft" has been
| coined by Mr.. Maxwell to fit the thing
he has In mind. The Scotch word
croft means a very small piece OF
land farmed intensively by its Occu-
pant but not large enough to yield him
living and constitute him a farmer.
The Homecrofter, therefore, under the
conditions being developed, is labor
| ing man, clerk, skilled artisan or what
not. who supplements his regular in
come by, and spends his spare time In
work on the land. His children may
likewise be employed out OF schoo
hours and at other times when they
would otherwise be on the street Of
forced into some one OF the stree
trades to help maintain the home. Fo
the children the advantages are oh
vious. Healthy exercise In the opel
air for a purpose, fresh vegetables ant
other products, and occupation, ar
! substituted for spasmodic exercis
: under bad conditions, stale vegetable
3 or none at all, and the gang.
It can be demonstrated that tn
ordinary factory worker on from on
acre to an acre of land can ear
Q actually more in the odd time give

!. regular work, taking it hour for hou

fresh air. 1t was equally to the advant-
age Of their moral life that they should
be brought into contact with nature.
There was an advantage, too, in bring
ing the workingman on to the land,
for instead Of his losing money in the
'amusements usually sought in the
towns, he saved it in his garden prod
uce-a great consideration where the
poorer class of workman was con-
cerned." And again, 1.-THE cultivation
of the soil is certainly the best anti
dote to sedentary occupation OF those
working in large towns. A primitive
instinct is INDUCED, the full value OF
which seems hardly yet to have been
realized. Many believe, indeed, that
with it's encouragement the abuse OF
the social club and the public-house
will be materially lessened, and one OF
the greatest social evils Of the time
disappear. CThe experience of Bourn-
Vile certainly gives support TO THIS
conclusion, for nearly every house
holder there spends his leisure in gard
ening, and there is not single licensed
house in the village.)"

Distribution Of Immigrants the
Solution.

If there were only some practicable
way of distributing immigration more
equally among all the ports or the
country the congestion and segra-
CATION phases Of this problem would be
nearer solution. 1t can be accom-
plished i'm but a small degree, since It
will only be done if answering an
economic demand, as I'm the case or
the n-Bremen service. Wise
and well organized effort to induce
Immigrants to pass through the large
ports by finding and insuring them
employment in the interior and by In
forming them of opportunities else
where, will do much to improve con-
ditions. The self-interest Of states,
many Of which maintain immigration
agencies, might also be brought more
generally into play to attract the In
dustrious and ambitious new corners
to their farms and smaller towns.

dustry, a necessity for the -ttainment
of the best results.
5. A growth Of cooperation, which
will give to the homecroft settle
ment all the advantages of the CT :
in schools, libraries, hospitals, enter
tainment halls, water supply, electric
lights, improved roads, etc.; while
the cultivation Of each separate acre
or "croft" will be facilitated by the
cooperative ownership Of the numer-
Gus expensive pieces of farm ma
chinery now to be found on the best
large farms, but which could not be
afforded by the individual crofter.
9. The fostering Of sturdy, indie
pendent individualism, to hich
nothing contributes so mue as the
ownership Of home and conscious
ness that one can ''make a living
Of any boss.
Concurrently with such betterments
