GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY
w. r. Smith Co. Will Refund Money
II Mi-o-na Fails to Cure.

You may ask why w. II. Smith Co.
are able to guarantee to refund the
moneyunless Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets
cure when no other remedy for
stomach troubles is sold in this man
ner.
The reason for this is that ordinary
dyspepsia tablets merely digest the
food, while Mi-o-na builds up and
strengthens the digestive system so
that it soon begins to digest the food
itself without pain or distress.
If the stomach is only given a rest
by using digestive, the muscles soon
become weak, and it is necessary to
continue taking a digestive tablet
after every meal. On the other hand
Mi.o-na used before eating strength
ems the stomach SO that you will soon
be well enough to give up the use of
medicine.
Mi-o-na costs but SOC. a box, and
makes positive and complete cures.
The best proof of its merits is the
guarantee TO refund the money If it
does not cure that W. r. Smith gives

Marrying Under the GalloWs.

In olden days, II man or wom-
an would consent to marry under the
gallows, a person condemned to
death might thereby be saved from
execution. This happened, according
to an old English ballad, to q Chi
chester merchant who was thus saved
by loving maiden. In 1884 q GRIM
inal at New York escaped in the
same way. (And all readers Of Victor
Hugo's "Notre Dame" will remember
that powerful and dramatic scene
where Esmeralda saves Pierre Grin
goire.) But Pinkerton records case
where the criminal refused to retain
life in this way. The story of this
intrepid refusal has been told in
lines which bear quotation.

THE only way to stop people from

one, is to do as is done in England.

a postal clerk. I'VE often lose con-

offenders in this respect are not for

WINDOWS BEFORE THE DOOR.
Maid's Queer Idea Of Providing In.

a book full Of exceedingly funny read

out on Westminster place, and the
maid. as Is usual with maids, got very
much excited, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. After the Are was
extinguished she was relating Incl
dents and declared that her first
thought was to open all the windows.
Il went and threw up every window"
she said. But" demonstrated the
lady Of the house, why did you do
that?" why, to let the firemen in,"
said Mary. But couldn't they get In
through the door?" asked the lady.
"Oh, they never does," said Mary with
conviction; they never waits to 90
to the door, but jumps in through the
windows" and she smiled In thinking
OF her own presence of mind in re-
membering the vagaries of firemen.

EXPLAINS CHURCH COUNCIL.
DR.. Thomas Law of England Speaks at
Local Meeting.

1--WE never spend our time saying our
prayers and allowing the devil to make our
laws, and that is the lesson which American
ministers must learn DR.. Thomas Law, Or
ganizer and secretary of the National Free
Church Council of England. said, speaking
before meeting of local ministers and
church laymen at the Y. M. G. A. late yes
terday afternoon. During the course of his
remarks he f1ayed the divorce evil of this
country and advised the thinking men and
women of the country to work against it.
He also decried the lack of Sunday OBJ
servance in this country.
I DR.. Law has been in the United States
for several weeks. studying the religious
and moral conditions of the American peo-
pie and meeting the churchmen and urging
them to organize a church federation SIM
liar to that in England. The National Free
Church Council includes churches OF every
denomination except Catholic and Unita-
rians, the general idea being to find the
good in each creed and help each other by
an Interchange of ideas and a cooperation.
DR.. Law yesterday was the guest of Am
bassador Bryce at the British legation, and
this morning he was escorted BY the am
basSador to the White House to meet the
President. Although not a politician, DIR.
Law is recognized as an important element
in English politics. because of the power Of
the organization of which he is secretary.
DR.. Law told of the work and extent Of
the National Free Church Council. 1t has
subordinate councils in nearly every city in
England, Wales, New Zealand, Sout.. Af-
rica. Australia and many in Canada and
some in the United States. AS evidence of
the strength of the organization, lie stated
that at the last election 200 men were
chosen for parliament who had run at the
request of the society. He added that the
organization does not try to destroy any
denomination. but endeavors to recognize
good in all; that 1t is not political party,
but views political questions from the
standpoint of religion. and morality and
takes an active interest in the decisions of
such questions.
