PROTECT YOUR VITALITY.
Hooper Drug Co.'S. Sensible Advice 10
Take Care Of the Digestion.

The vital part of the human
machine is the stomach. When it
is strong and acts naturally, so
that digestion is perfect and the
food that furnishes our steam
power is stimulated, 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 gives out, all the vital
organs will soon become weaken.
ed and diseased. There will be
headaches, back-aches, pains in
the sides and limbs, specks before
the eyes, loss Of appetite, sleep
lessness, weakness and debility.
Hooper Drug Co. very sensibly
advise people to take care of the
digestion by strengthening the
stomach with Mi-o-na tablets, a
remedy which they absolutely
guarantee is positive cure for all
stomach troubles, except cancer
of the stomach, and sell 1t with
the understanding that it costs
nothing unless it cures.
Ask Hooper Drug Co. to show
you the guarantee they give with
evrey 50 cent box of Mi-o-na.

A Game Of Ball.

There was game of base bal
played Sunday south of the city
between a team from Great Bend
and the Santiago boys in which
the latter won out by a score Of
10 to 8. The game belonged to
the Great Bend boys until the last
half of the ninth inning, the score
being s to 4, when the town boys
felt so sure that they overreached
themselves and lost the game. 1t
was a pretty good game up to
that time, but now there are some
of the boys who say they have
quit playing ball and will sci
their uniforms and other fxin,
pretty cheap. But they will gel
over it in a few days and be ready
for another game.
