Nearly 100 of the 119 counties in
Kentucky have gone dry under local
option liquor law. The prediction is
made that in year only the towns will
be wet. The constitution of the new
state law of Oklahoma forbids the sale
or manufacture of malt and spirituous
liquors. In Illinois there is agitation
for the adoption of local option law
and it is planned to have the wives and
children of drunkards march upon
Springfield with demand for it's enact
ment. There is marked progress abroad.
In Denmark the movement takes the
form of an effort to substitute for strong
drink, beer and other drinks with not to
exceed q per centum of alcohol. Ac-
cording to the Baltimore Sun, "the cause
of temperance on the con-
sumption of light beer is in fact boom
ing in Denmark, and sobriety is said to
make real progress. Arrests for drunk
enness in Copenhagen in 1905 were but
is per 1000 of population, against 81
per 1000 in Gothenburg, where drinking
is controlled. Denmark puts no tax on
light beers, and there is no politics in
Temperance. 1t is the shrewd appro-
priation and expansion of the social
feature of the saloon that distinguishes
the Danish system" These are verita-
BILE temperance homes where families
assemble, where the neighborhood
gossips, and amusements are offered.

DON'T PUT 1T OFF LONGER.
Get Rid of That Indigestion a
Once by Using Mi-o-na.

Many people in Leon are slowly
poisoning themselves by chronic indiss
gestion. Their neglect to cure slug
gishness of the important organs of d.
gestion fills the system with ferment-
ing and decaying food that results in
sick headache, heartburn, bad taste in
the mouth, and many other symptoms.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are for the
special relief of such sufferers. They
quickly cure the worst cases Of indi-
gestion and when used few days the
pain and distress often felt after meals
will disappear.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets cost but so
cents box and do more good than a
dozen boxes of the ordinary digestive
ablets. He gives an absolute, unqual-
fed guarantee to refund the money if
Mi-o-na fails to cure.

TIME TO ACT.
Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages of
Kidney Illness. Profit by Leon
Peoples Experiences.

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-
regular elimination, headaches and
dizzy spells are common early symptoms
of kidney disorders. It's an error to
neglect these ills. The attacks may
pass off for a time but return with
greater intensity. If they are SYMPTOMS
of dropsy-putfy swellings below the
eyes, bloating of the limbs and ankles,
or any part Of the body, don't delay a
minute. Begin taking Doan's Kidney
Pills, and keep up the treatment until
the kidneys are we'll, when your old
time health and vigor will return.
Cures in Leon prove the effectiveness Of
this great kidney remedy.
Mrs. M. l.. Cosler, wife of nj. L. Co.'S
Ter, a farmer, formerly living southeast
of Leon, says: "My kidneys bothered
me for six or seven years, causing dull
aching in the small of my back. AS if
backache at times very pronounced
were not sufficient to bring discomfort
to the ordinary mortal the secretions
from the kidneys were highly colored
and | had more or less rheumatism
which located itself in my shoulders.
Advertisements about Doans Kidney
Pills stated that they were specific
for the kidneys induced me to go to
Van Werden's drug store for a box.
The treatment surely certainly helped
when the action and condition of the
kidneys secretion became normal the
last attack of backache ceased. | also
knew of case of a child who lacked
proper control over the action of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney Pills
were given him and help of most
pronounced kind resulted.
