TO ENJOY A GOOD DINNER.
How to Avoid Distress and Indiges-
ton After Eating.

Let us show you how to enjoy a
good dinner, how to regain the appe-
tite of your childhood, and to relish
your food.
There is no need of any self-deny-
ing diet list, no call for nasty and
disagreeable medicine, no list of
hard exercises; simply a Mona
stomach tablet before each meal,
and one before going to bed, and it
will so strengthen the stomach that
good dinner will give you pleas
ure and comfort without the least
fear of distress.
The best proof of the value of our
advice is the fact that Dawson Drug
Co. and Peoples Drug Store give a
positive guarantee (applying to two
soc boxes of Mi-o-na) that your
money will be refunded unless the
remedy cures. A guarantee like this
must give you confidence in Mi-o-na
stomach tablets
Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive
with only temporary relief, but a
specific for al disorders of the stom-
ach, strengthening the digestive or
gans and making permanent cure.

NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
Healing Medication That Is Breathed.

Giving Quick Relief.
The fact that many people right
in Dawson cough and hawk and
shuttle for days and weeks after they
nave been treating a cold with usual
stomach dosing shows how valueless
are the ordinary cough and cold
cures.
The right way to cure a cold in
the head, or cough and irritation
IN the bronchial tubes, is by breath
ing Hyomei's medicated air from the
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit. Take a few breaths
IN this way, and immediate relief
will be noted. The medication goes
right to the spot where the disease
germs are and renders them harm
less.
Dawson Drug Co, and PEOPLES
Drug Store give an absolute guaran-
tee with every HyOmei outfit they
sell that if it does not give satisfac-
ton the money will be refunded.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $1.00, while extra bottles of
Hyomei, if needed, can be obtained
for only soc.

CONNECTS OK THE HIGHWAYS.

The recent suggestion of the Good Road enthusiasts to work state con- viets on the public roads throughout the state is meeting with general fa- men and others who have made study of the labor conditions and the Good Roads movement in Arkansas.
 The old states of the South-Geor gia Tennessee. the Carolinas and many others-began permanent road building years ago by using convicts on the public highways. What has the result been? Lands believed to be worthless in those states have been brought by thrifty Germans, Italians. and other immigrants who, by improv cd methods of farming, have made these once worthless lands to be yalu- able
 Roads impossible in former years, are now modern turnpikes, and where team of mules could hardly trans port two bales of cotton, they are hauling now from six to eight at a load.
 The Arkansas legislature at it's coming session will be urged to enact law authorizing convict labor on public roads. In this way the sur plus convicts in this state will not come in competition with free labor.
