The Widow Stebbins began to i'm

reroofed her house and put up new

Suddenly from within the store

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry near
~ all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be SO, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
OF eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and it's accompanying
n,iseries.
A Phila. lady said. the other day:
my husband and I have been sick
aud nervous for Is or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, good part of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals.
I'VE tried doctors and patent medi-
cInes that counted up into hundreds Of
dollars, with little if any benefit.
"Accidentlly, a small package of
Postum came into my hands. made
some according to directions, with sur
prising results. We both liked it and
have not used any coffee since.
THE dull feeling after meals has
left us and we feel better every way
We are so well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend it to our friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee" Name given

o ENJOY A GOOD DINNER.
How to AVOID Distress and Tndiees-
ton After Eating.

Let us tell you how you can enjoy
good dinner, so that the heartiest meal
will set well upon your stomach and
cause no unpleasant and disagreeable
after effects.
We will show you how to regain the
appetite of your childhood aud the en-
joyment of food, so that it will taste
as well as when mother cooked the
dinner.
There is no hard work necessary to
do this; no need of rigid and self
denying diet list; no call for nasty and
disagreeable medicines. Simply take
a Mi-o-na stomach tablet before each
meal and before going to bed, and it
will so strengthen the stomach that
before long a hearty meal will give
you qualification and comfort, without
the least fear of distress and suffering.
The strongest proof we can offer of
our faith in this ADVICE, is the fact that
Dodson's Drug Store gives an absolute,
unqualified guarantee applying to two
| soc boxes of Mi-O-na) that your money
will be refunded unless Mi-o-na cures.
A guarantee like this gives you conf
dence in Mi-o-na. They take the whole
risk and the remedy will not cost you
penny unless it cures.
Mi-o-na is not mere digestive, CIV
ing only temporary relief but specific
for all diseases of the stomach, strength
ening the digestive organs and making
| a permanent cure. Z, II, Is.

Citizens residing there, and who are

REFERENCE TO LIGHTING PLANT
MIR. Roman and His Associates Make
Statement

To CITIZENS AND TAXPAYERS OF
AMERICUs: Various statements are
being circulated by parties interested
in keeping control of the present cleo
trio and gas mOnopolies, that the
proposition which 1 have presented to
the Mayor and City Council is specu-
lative, and is without substantial back
ing.
A decent and becoming respect for
the dignity and functions of the Mayor
and city council, and for their ability
to judge of propositions presented for
themselves would seemingly make
such statements somewhat previous
and unnecessary.
And beyond making the following
public statement, | cannot take notice
of them. My proposition is equally if
not more so desirable in every respect
as any other before the council and has
never been changed in any way, with
one single exception, since having been
presented to the council three months
ago.
We are able and willing and ready
to secure the city inevery way when
the proper time arrives and the city re-
quires it. Moreover, it is amazing that
so strenuous an effort should be made
to hold on to proposition that was
shown to pay so poorly. 1t is also
amazing what a frightful thing little
healthy competition is.
