Dangers From Dyspepsia.
Digestion Most Prolific Cause
of Serious Disease.

While health reports do not give in
digestion as cause of death, yet it so
weakens the stomach and the whole
system that it makes one readily
susceptible to serious illness.
If you have distress after eating, a
feeling of heaviness in the stomach,
nervousness, dizziness, nausea, head
ACHE or any other symptoms of indiges-
ton, begin the use of Mi-o-na and get
well.
Mi-o-na will give such strength and
tone to the whole digestive system that
you can eat anything at any time with
fear of distress or Indigestion.

it cures.

THE POULTRY HOUSE.
Winter Quarters of Fowls Should Be
Prepared For Occupancy.

Prepared For occupancy.
1t is not too soon to begin prepare
tons for next winter, says Farm Jour-
nal. Too soon to do the work is not
to be considered unless there Is nothing
to do. 1t is surprising how much one
will have to do when winter comes on
and he is unprepared.
The poultry house may require over
hauling in various ways or new one
may be built 1t will be found that
new house will be less damp If built
soon enough to allow the wood to sea-
son before winter. Earth floors that
have been saturated with the drop
pings Of the fowls should be removed
to the depth of six inches and fresh
material used, and the roof should be
carefully examined while made tight
on the old house.
Another point is that it is only after
one has built poultry house and used
1t year that he knows what he wants.
No man ever built poultry house that
he could not see something to improve
about it, and 1t is this experience that
Is assisting to get more eggs In winter
Then there are the roosts and nests.
Those who have spent hours per
forming the work Of cleaning out the
poultry houses will appreciate any Ia
Dor saving contrivances, and the time
to adopt them is before the winter be-
gins.
1t is suggested that the house have
plenty of windows, so as to secure
sunlight and warmth. Nothing Is SO
repugnant to fowls as darkness during
the day, and they will frequently re-
main in storm outside rather than
keep within the walls Of dark house.
Begin the fall right and prepare for
the winter early so as to have the hens
and pullets laying before the cold
weather sets in.

advices from the east it is evident that
the record which was established last

this early the bookings are surprisingly
large. The Northern Pacific has booked
forty special trains.
The Scenic Limited, one of the finest
trains in service in the country. made
the initial run Yesterday over the Den
yer & Rio Grande. The train is strictly
first-class throughout and many of the
same ideas have been carried out as
are i'm the Los Angeles Limited which
is run over the Salt Lake. The train
is true to its name and the schedule
is so arranged that the ride through
the picturesque parts of the Rocky
mountains will be in the daytime.
