DO NOT BE A BURDEN.
F. G. Fowler Gives Some Good Advice
 to Readers of The Advertiser.

E. G. Fowler Gives Some Good Advice
 to Readers of The Advertiser.
 A weak stomach and its resulting ills are not natural. With proper care and the usc of Mi-o-na stomach tablets. the very worst cast of indigestion or stom- ach trouble can be completely cured.
 It is a sin to deprive oneself of en- toyment in life and become a burden to others through indigestion.
 The backaches, headaches. distress after eating, loss of appetite, gulping up of undtgested food and gases are not natural. Mi-o-na stomach tablets used for a few days before meals will so strengthen the digestive organs that you can eat anything you want without fear of distress or resulting sickness
 The directions for taking Mi-o-na en- phasiZe the difference between this reemdy and the ordinary medicine that Is given for indigestion. Mi-o-na is to be used before meals strengthening the digestive system for the food which Is to be eaten. while the ordinary remedy Is taken after meals, and simply di- gests the food without strengthening the stomach.
 E. G. Fowler has so much faith in the merit o: Mi-o-na that he sells 1t under a guarantee to refund the money in case it does not cure. A 60-cent box of Mi-o-na will do more real good than a dozen packages of the ordinary remedies sold for indigestion. Then too. It costs nothing unless 1t cures.

The President will sail in a few days for Panama. During the time he is absent, he will be out of touch with af- fairs at home. but the wireless tele- graph system will come in handily for him. It is expected by the naval authorities that communication be- tween the White House and the Pres ident will be maintained by means of wireless telegraphy during the entire time of his absence from the Capital. when he goes to Panama. The operators at the Pensacola naval station have lately succeeded in keeping in com muncation with merchant steamer from the time it left New York harbor until it reached Honduras Wireless stations in the West Indies will facil- itate the maintenance of touch" with the President on board the battleship Louisiana, and it is possible that he may be able to confer constantly with members of the cabinet at Washington while he is at sea in November. Sec retary Taft will hold down the lid at Washington while the President is away.

SPEAKING AND WRITING.

Clever writers are rarely excellent speakers. even If they can speak at all in public way remarks The Portsmouth Star very correctly. It is interesting to note the difference between public men in this respect. Some men can only think while on their feet and others can hardly think at all when standing up. We have known more than one good speaker who could hardly dictate a letter or a paragraph while sitting down, but as soon as he would get on his feet there was no trouble. On the other hand. We have known more than one who could write well but as soon as he would get on his feet he would be ideas find vent by way of the mouth and others can only express themselves through pen or pencil.
 We may admit, as The Star says, that both writing and speaking "are used for the communication of ideas. The speaker or the writer puts his ideas into their logical order and then clothes them in proper words for the comprehension of those for whom he is writing or to whom he is speaking. The intent, in both cases, is to inform, to amuse, to instruct or to convince. Sometimes an attempt is made to per suade the subject of the discourse. That is generally too lamentable d failure to need consideration" but there is often a wide difference in the effect. A fine orator will frequently captivate the senses and carry with him an audience who would be little affected if the same sentiments came to them by way of the printed page. Then, again, there are those who will care fully read and be convinced by q well written article but who would pay lit tie attention to the finest speaker. Speaking and writing are diverse gifts but cac1 has its uses and its effects. because al! human beings are not con- stituted alike and all are not influenced by ike methods.

and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above sll, possessed of 8 wonderfully sympa- thetic nature.
 In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham, . builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and . daughter.
 In those good old fashioned days 1t was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, natures own remedies calling in physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex- perience many of them gained a won- derful knowledge of the curative prop critics of the various roots and herbs,
 Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest characteristics and power over disease. beautifully provides in the harvest nelds and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex- pTCbSly ucolSuco IO CuTC tilc SATIOuS ills and weaknesses of the body, and 1t was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi- cines for her own family and friends.
 Chief of these was a rare combina- tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu- liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink hams friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them.
 All this SO far was done freely. with out money and without price, as a labor of love.
 But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen- nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found.
 At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound was made known to the world.

PREACHING POLITICS.

Commenting on what it designates Sunday Politics. having reference to the custom of some ministers up there talking politics in the pulpit The New Bedford Standard says:
 From the minister in the pulpit talk ing abstract politics. with a decided sQuint toward the support of a party or candidate, it was not difficult transition to the layman with a mes sage. and the candidate with q self advertisement. And from that to the Dut-and-out political rally was a short and easy step. How anybody can dog rpatically decide on d line having on one side dissertation and on the other side duty we do not clearly see, though, of course, there may be those who are able to accomplish the feat. We think. ourselves, that Sunday might as well be left free from the clash and clang of the political orators, for the six other days are sufficient in which to perform that variety of labor: but, on the other hand, if the pulpit is to de- mand the right-which we are not dis posed to deny-to discuss the ethical bearings of political issues, and to ap- ply religious principles to the political duty of citizens, it is not reasonable 70 deny laymen the same right, even -reought it be exerted in more directly '--tisan way.

 Under it's present able editor and pub fisher, Charles H. Greer, The standard has been unusually cnterprising and progressive. It has helped Marion and all it's interests amazingly. It has attracted q great deal of atten- tion to Perry County l. certainly is worthy of the enthusiastic support which it is receiving from the people of that and adjoining counties.
