EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science Has Now Found the True
WAY to Cure Indigestion.

Science Has Now Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion.
A few years ago, when a sufferer
from indigestion went to a stomach
specialist, the result was q rigid diet
list that almost meant starvation.
But the first thing to do in the case
Of indigestion or stomach weakness is
to strengthen the muscular walls oil
the stomach and intestines, SO that
they will care for the food that is
eaten. In no other way can this be
done as we'll as by taking MI-o-na
tablet before each meal. This restores
strength to the stomach muscles and
stimulates the pouring out Of gastric
Juices, so that the food is digested
readily and its nourishment retained
in the system to build up energy and
vitality.
Do not think the sick headache,
heartburn, bad taste in the mouth
coated tongue, spots before the eyes,
sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result
Of indigestion, will go away Of them
selves. The stomach must be built
up and strengthened BY Mi-O-na be-
fore you can be well and strong, free
from suffering and distress.
The guarantee that J. NJ. Gleissner
gives with every 5O-Ceut box Of Mo
na, to refund the money unless the
remedy cures. shows their confidence
in the treatment.

VAST OPPORTUNITIES IN CUBA
Island Rich in Sugar. Tobacco and
Citrous Fruits

The island of Cuba embraces
about one-half of the total area of
the West Indies, with natural com
mercial advantages surpassed by
few countries. The population, num-
herring approximately 10000
about equally divided between the
native whites OF Spanish origin and
negroes and mixed races, depends
almost wholly upon the sugar and
tobacco crops.
Although nearly every portion of
the island is suited to cane growing.
1t is estimated that not more than
100000 acres (about one-four-
teenth of the entire total acreage)
Is under cane cultivation.
The opportunities for a profitable
development of this industry are
great. The climate and soil are such
as to furnish a ready cane growth
with comparatively little attention
to cultivation, and replanting Is
headed only once in 10 or Is years.
Cubas prestige in the worlds
sugar market is second to none, and
we Rave only to consider the mill
ions of acres adapted to such culti-
vaticn which are as yet in a virgin
state to realize the incalculable
wealth of the island.
Advance figures for 1901 show
the sugar expectation for the pres
,ent year to have been most satisfac-
tor thus far. For the nine months
ended September 80, 1907, there
were exported 9,214,166 sacks of SUI
gar, and there were left on hand
441,215 sacks.
! For the corresponding nine
months of 1906, 7,774,796 sacks of
sugar were exported, and there were
on hand 255,0O1 sacks on Septem-
Der 80, 1906. This shows an in
rcrease of 1,439,37O sacks in the
nunl er exported and 1904 sacks
more on hand September 80, 1907,
than on the same date in 1906. 1t
/ is predicted that the sugar crop for
1903 will show a shortage owing
to this years severe drought.
Tobacco Cultivation and Trade
Tobacco ranks second in impor-
lance in the islands products. Gu
ban tobacco is of superior grade,
and is reputed as being the best in
the world. Pinar del Rio, the ex-
IRENE western province, is the home
of the highest grade leaf grown.
and, in fact, nearly three-fourths OF
the total tobacco acreage of the ISL
and is contained in this province.
( The tobacco ndustry-raising

I cigars and cigarets-gives employ

In the face of the fact that the
demand for transportation facilities
is greater than the railroads can

They are pressed upon by the de-

velopments to meet conditions Any
suspension, then, is only temporary.
