Care Of tAe Digestion. Did you ever stop to think of the duty that you owe to yourself and to your family to protect your vitali- ty, so that your powers may be always at their best?
 Just consider yourself a wonderful and complicated machine, perpetually working and wearing out.
 The vital part of the human ma chine is the stomach. When 1t is strong and acts naturally. so that di- gestion IS perfect and the food that furnishes our steam-power is stimula- ted, and the waste properly removed. then we can do our best work and get the most enjoyment out of life.
 On the other hand. If the stomach cives out all the vital organs will soon become weakened and diseased. There will be headaches, backaches, pains in the sides and limbs, specks before the eyes. loss of appetite, sleeplessness weakness and debility.
 MT. Fowler very sesibly advises peo- pie to take care of the digestion by strengthening the stomach with Mi-o- na tablets, a remedy which he abso- lutely guarantees Is a positive cure for all stomach troubles. except ean- cer of the stomach, and sells 1t with the understandinf that 1t costs nothing unless 1t cures.
 Just as soon as you feel that your food does not properly digest. that you taste 1t after eating. that the tongue Is furred the breath heavy, the ap- petite poor. the head dull and acMng. begin the use of Mi-o-na tablets. This is not a patent medicine. and its for mula is furnished to all intelligent people who may desire 1t. It makes positive and lasting cures, and Is sold under an absolute guarantee that 1t cures all diseases of the stomach ex- cepting cancer.
 Ask MT Fowler to show you the guarantee he gives with every 50 cent box of Mi-o-na.
 If not convenient to obtain Mi-o-na of Mir. Fowler or some other retailer 1t will be sent by mall postage prepaid on receipt of price.

In such maneuvers are profi- cient. not alone in the elementary but also in the technical requirements per taining to the profession of arms. Tn these functions we have been imitat- ing the maneuvers of European armies. but we lose sight of the fact that the latter, on such occasions. are composed solely of regular troops and such as have served one or more years with the coiors, and unless our National Guard has had the latter service (which ia not practicable under our form of govern ment), we might as well expect a class of boys to solve prof -em in geon- etry.

Senator D. J. Meador. a prominent candidate for Lieutenant Governor from Marengo County. spent a few hours here today. At noon MT.

while having served in the company, and the one who stands highest should fill the vacant sergeantcy This plan will foster among all the corporals the proper spirit for applying them selves to study, and 1t would not be simply a matter of selecting from among them the supposedly best3man; seniority will come into play and men tai qualifications as we'll and the most intelligent and capable of the three candidates will advance to the status of sergeant.
 "These examinations can be held in anticipation of a vacancy Tn order that the qualified corporal may be recom- mended immediately when the vacancy occurs and thus unnecessary delay be avoided"
 A Regular Reserve.
 A writer in The Army and Navy Journal gives some reasons why Ma tional Guard cannot be depended up- on as regular reserve. viz:
 "First: The young men. rank and file composing National Guard organiza- tions are, with few exceptions. com pelled to devote their entire atten- tion to their every day duties, hence can spare but little time for military purposes.
 "second: Their limited time. when they are called out for drill at their home station, is devoted entirely to that character of close order movements which are of little practical value for field purposes
 "Third: Should those in authority at- tempt to instruct this element in the nractical work that Is of value in the fteld. this character ofNserviee would have the effect of dlscouraging Ma tionaI Guard enlistments.
 Fourth: It matters not what tho qualifications of National Guard of- eanization may be. whether efficient Of otberwise, they cannot be depended up- on to enlist in the'' entirety in case Of, war The regiment commanded in inf last war was composed of compa- nies from our National Guard, and I believe that I do not exaggerate In the least when assert that not over twen- ty ner cent of its enlisted strength was An inc company rosters when said com nanies were called out, and that this condition applied to large percentage of all Volunteer regiments in said spanish War

SEASONS FIRST
SNOW LAST NIGHT

snow the first Of the season, fell last
night ,ss
Old weather prophets say that what
ever day Of the month the first snow
falls upon shows the number OF snow
storms for the winter. II that predic-
tion is correct there will be thirty
more snowstorms this winter as the
first snow fell on October 331. Just at
present, however. there is no indica-
tion OF another snowstorm in the near
future
The one meteorological popularity
about last nights snow was that It fell
while the wind was strong from the
northwest. The winters snow, as a
rule, falls while northeasterly winds
prevail. II so happened that the north
west wind yesterday brought a small
cold wave. which made the tenlpera-
ture fall gradually all day until at z
this morning II was down to 36 degrees.
Light snow was reported early in the
morning from the western section OF
New York State. It marked the end
OF a slngularly disagreeable month.
The whole month had only six clear
days, against seventeen cloudy and
eight partly cloudy.
