SOMETIMES 1T DOES!
A Hearty Meal Should Never An
nOy or Distress.

A hearty meal should give sense of
qualification and comfort. 1t should
never annoy or distress. If you have
indigestion and discomfort after eating,
it shows that your digestive organs are
weakened and they cannot properly
care for the food which has been swal-
lowed. If you cannot eat and digest
with pleasure and comfort three good
square, hearty meals each day, you
need to use Mi-o-na stomach tablets,
and you should go to L. P. Van Werden
for box at once.
Mi-o-na is as unlike the ordinary pop
sin digestive tablet as the electric
light is more valuable than a tallow
dip. Mi-o-na cures Indigestion or
stomach trouble by Strengthening and
regulating the whole digestive system,
thus enabling the organs to take care
of the food you eat without any dis
tress or discomfort.
Use Mi-o-na for a few days and the
nervousness, sleeplessness, general de-
bility and weakness, backache, loss of
appetite, headache and other ills that
are caused by indigestion will be ban
ished and you will feel we'll all over
Mi-o-na makes positive and lasting
cures and is sold under an absolute
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded unless the remedy cures. Ask
L. P. Van Werden to show you the
guarantee they give with every SOC
box of Mona.

SEPTEMBER LIKELY STORMY
Rev. Hicks Predicts Several Earth
quakes, Stormy Weather and
general Seismic Disturbances


Rev. Irl Hicks makes the following
predictions for the month Of September:
A regular storm period is central on
September 1, extending up to the 4th.
The month promises to come in with
areas of high temperature, low barom-
eter and storms making their transit
from west to east. The climax or cul-
mination of this period will fall on and
touching the I'd, the date of the full
moon. If high barometer and westerly
, gales follow these storms, look for a
change to much cooler with frosts
possible in the north. The 1st to the
4th is also a probable seismic period.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 18th and Sth and this fact, most
probably, will cause storms which
originate on the 9th to continue over
the 7th and Sth. If high barometer fol-
lows close behind any of the early
September storm areas frost will be
almost certainty in northern sections.
A regular storm period is central on
the 18th and covers the 10th to the
10Th. Look for high temperature, low
barometer, threatening storm clouds
and severe electric phenomena, center
ing progressively on the 18th to the
14th.
A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 18th, 18th and 10Th. This
period will carry the earth to the cen
ter of its autumnal equinox. 1t will
also inaugurate series of storms and
changes on land and sea that will prove
clear lines of demarkation between
summer and autumn. If West India
hurricanes should not appear before,
they are very apt to organize and begin
their progress south of our gulf coasts
about this time. But it will be pru-
dent to heed all indications of the
equatorial storms at all the September
storm periods. We figure that such
storms will be heard from within sixty
hours of noon on the 18th. During the
same period many storms Of rain, wind
and thunder are apt to visit the inland
part of the country generally, with a
possible tornado here and there. With
in the limits named-siXty hours from
noon on the 18th -seismic throes and
volcanic outbreaks are among the phe-
nomena to be anticipated. Of course
we mention these things as probable
in parts of the globe where such are
common. While any part of the earth
may be visited by them-the earth
shivers especially-they reach their
maximum of force and frequency only
in we'll defined sections and countries.
A regular storm period runs from the
22d to Goth, being affected by Mercury,
earth andi the entering of the Venus
period. We must keep steadily in
mind, also, that the Jupiter and Saturn
periodss are exerting their combined
energy during all these periods. From
Sunday the 23d, to Wednesday, the
10Th, is time OF maximum storm prob
ability.a Look for a commingling of
tropical and boreal conditions, bringing
rain, wind and thunder in some parts,
With possible sleet and early spurts of
snow in the far north. A reactionary
disturbance is central on the 10Th and
30th, causing low barometer and gen.
eral change to storm conditions as
September goes out.

The following beautiful thought is
from the lips of W. j. Bryan: "If the
Father designs to touch with divine
power the cold and pulseless heart of
the buried acorn and make it burst from
it's prison walls, will he neglect the soul
of man who was made the image of his
Creator? If he stoops to give to the
rosebush, whose withered blossoms float
upon the autumn breeze, the sweet as
surance of another springtime, will he
withhold the words of hope from the
souls of men when the frosts of winter
come? If matter, mute and inanimate,
is by force of nature changed into null
titude of forms that die, will the spirit
of man suffer humiliation after it has
paid a brief visit like a royal guest to
this tenement of clay?

At a conference held last night at
General Greeley's headquarters, plans
for rebuilding the city with govern
ment aid were discussed. There were
present. besides Gen. Greeley, James
D. Phelan, DIR. Edward Devine, Mayor
Schmitz and Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Metcalf No definite re-
quest was made. but the nope was
expressed that the government might
be induced to back the city with a
bond issue of 5000. .O00, 900. or what
ever sum is needed In this manner
the city could be rebuilt in four OF
five years with money at reasona-
BILE rate of interest, while it would
take fifteen or twenty years borrow
ing money at high rate.
The State Board of Architecture
has issued a statement to the effect
tnat the rumor that architects are
needed in San Francisco is without
foundation. The board claims there
are over $50 certified architects anu
1000 draughtsmen in the state. Not
only is there no immediate prospects
for employment of incoming archi.
tects, but many will find difficulty in
maintaining themselves.

Stunning three days 1t was decided

The City Council convened in reg
ular monthly session last night with
Aldermen Burns, Wyllys, Kinsinger,
Wiseley, Whiteman, Bell. Johnson,
Stone. and Mayor Stockard present.
Despite all rumors to the contrary,
the ''fatherless'' resolution putting
up to the voters whether or not gam

The first thing up was the report
of the Finance Committee, offered
by Mr.. Johnson. This report recon-
mends that the city no longer pay
for sprinkling the streets. but that
this be done by the property owners
= abutting on the streets to be sprink
led. According to this report money
is scarce. and expenditures will have
to be kept as loww as possible. The
funds on hand April first were S4,7OO,
approximately, and the approved bills
to be paid for March and April am
omted to about s1,4OO
The matter of removing the wood
en- culverts at street crossings was
brought up by Mr.. Kinsinger. who
thought that this left the crossings
in a very bad condition.
Engineer Dills explained that the
culverts were rotten and had clog
ged up, and rather than have the
streets full of standing water he had
ordered them removed Mr.. Wiseley
