Of Chudleigh's regiment OF foot, a
marching regiment ever on the move.
Roger Sterne and his family tasted the

simple minded, good natured, but shift
less and rather peppery Irishman, Rog-

carried his load of debt with light
heart. "My father" says Sterne, was
of a kindly, sweet disposition. void of
all design and so innocent in his own
intentions that he suspected no one, SO
that you might have cheated him ten
times day il nine had not been suffi-

Sex md Debirth.

The theories concerning the possi-
bility Of our having previously existed
seem to be endless. OF them all think
the one best which suggests that sex is
reversed at rebirth and that when we
turn up cons after we previously ex-
listed we do so either as men or women
according to whether we were women
or men aforetime. This largely ac-
counts for the suffragette and for the
long haired thin voiced creatures who
potter around boudoirs. play the piano
like ''sweetly pretty" things and cal
themselves men. Presumably the besI
material of which we were fasbioned
then is now used in our composition.
for the most manly women and effemi-
nate men generally have some good
points about them. But if one Is to
keep on performing these Protean feats
through all ages it hardly seems worth
while worrying over sex problems. 1t
seems to me, in the long run, that we
shall each get about equal, according
to this arrangement.-Londo World.

Take Time
 To Eat
Hurry at Meal Times Will Send You to H. Goodman for Mi-o-na Stom-
 ach Tablets

Eat in haste and repent at leisure % is an old saying brought up to date.
 Hurry at breakfast means a bad start for the day, and if you hurry all so at the other meals you will soon suffer with loss of appetite. sIeepless- ness, nervousness, furred tongue, specks before the eyes, headaches, backaches, weakness and debility, in digestion, or other ills that are caused by an abused stomach.
 Here in Phoenix, as in thousands of other places over the country hurry at meals increases the druggists bus mess. Not a day passes that H. Good man does not sell several packages of Mi-o-na stomach tablets to those who have ruined their digestion by not talk ing time to eat.
 Of course indigestion has many other causes. but whatever the cause. the remedy is the same, Mi-o-na. It cures any acidity there may be. in creases the flow of the gastric juices. and actually gives strength and tone to the whole digestive system, so that you can soon eat anything at any time without fear of indigestion. H. Good man has seen so many cures made by Mi-o-na that he sells it under an alb solute guarantee that it will be sue cessful in every case where it is used in accordance with directions, that is. one tablet before each meal and will retund the money to anyone whom it does not help. A large box of Mf-o-na tablets costs but 50 cents; nothing if it fails.

When asked to give his reasons he said that his own eXperi- ence had shown him that violent earthquakes, when accompanied with vapors from the earth, were invariably preceded by a slight peculiar odor in the air, which was not unlike the odor of sulphur. The friends of the Neapol- itan assured him that slight earth quakes were frequent in California, and although they had heard the same suggestion from old residents of the coast country, it was regarded as an old wives tale.
