Cure the indigestion Which Is So Liable
toLead to ApOplexy'


People who suffer with head
ache. giddiness, palpitation,
bad taste in the mouth, drowsi-
ness, distress after eating, and
any of the other distressing re-
suits OF indigestion, are in serl-
Gus danger. Their digestive or
gans cannot care for the food
properly and hence the coats OF
the blood vessels in the brain
get little nourishment, become
brittle, and finally yield to the
fierce blood pressure and one is
then said to have a shock" be
paralyEed, or die from apo.
plexy.
In all diseases of digestion
and nutrition the prescription
called Mi-o-na has proven itself
of great value. 1t is relied up
on today as certainty to re-
lieve the worst troubles of indi-
gestiOn and make a complete
cure.
That MILO ma will cure the
worst forms of stomach trouble,
cancer excepted, and give quick
relief in indigestion is proven
by the guarantee L. M. Wood
give with every 5o-ceut box tc
refund the money unless Mi.o.ns

How many of US, who do not
want any Office. realize to just
what extent we are worked by
those who do? We are lead to
become greatly excited over
matters that are more or less
promulgated for the purpose OF
working upon our prejudices
and causing US to take an active
part in matters that are of lit
tie or no concern to us, but
much to the parties using them.
The metropolitan press is most
reprehensible in this respect. Il
apparently has no conscience or
respect for itself. but holds that
any means that accomplishes
it's desired end, however decep.
tive or misleading. is legitimate
and commendable. It is willing
in its promotion of measures or
the interests of men to use al.
most any method other than
sound argument to accomplish
the purposes for which it is
paid. These facts are just now
strongly illustrated in the lob
by cry that goes up from every

their arguments are unavailiug,
it is the lobby that is to blame
instead of the weakness of their
cause. Except where bribery
is used. lobbying is nothing
more than every man defending
his rights or arguing his cause
in accordance with the rights
gwen every American citizen.

nhcrits Fortune But Must Finish SIX
Years Term.

Asbury Park, y. j., Oct. Ii
When Frank Thompson, a convict in
the State prison at Trenton, shall
have served his term of six years on
two charges, he should not find it
hard to live an honest life. To his
great surprise he finds himself today
a wealthy man. In roundabout
way letter from an attorney of
Manchester, England, has found its
way to him in prison, informing him
that under the will of a wealthy re-
lative in England he has inherited
$3.50, 900. At the close of his term
the accumulated interest of years
viii bring his fortune to nearly $780,
600.
While Thompson Was being taken
TO prison in July he observed to the
sheriff who accompanied him from the
Freehold Jail to Trenton:
It's easy for you men who have
good jobs to be honest When
mans down and out he gives way to
temptations or starves to death. Give
man a good living and there's no
reason why he shouldn't be honest
and what your well-fed moralists call
an ornament to society" When
Thompson has done time" he will
have an opportunity to live up to his
philosophy.
He was convicted of stealing 4
gold purse containing $25 from the
residence at iI2 Sewell avenue in
this place. in July.
