The United States geological survey

Companion. The survey was engaged
last year In making an Investigation of
metalliferous ores. In summarizing
this work the director says the Ell

members Of the economic force Of the
survey, in consequence of their en-.

they have been receiving from the

1t seems curious thing that man
should choose one of London's largest
and busiest hotels for a hermitage.
Yet for years a man lived in one Of
these famous hostelries absolutelr Sc
cluded from the world without and
within. He occupied the same ruoms
for 20 years. and the only time that
ne ever left them was at each mid
night, when he went out for air and
recreation. which he took in AN omen
square near by. He never spoke to
any one in the hotel. except to one Of
the proprietors and his waiter. who
served him faithfully for the score of
years he spent under the same roof
with him. None of the hotel patrons
ever saw him. He never received viz
tors and no letter or communication
was delivered to him during his so
journ there. Despite all the mystery
surrounding him and his remarkable
silence, the man went through life In
an otherwise sane way. He had plen-
ty of money, apparently. but no one
knew where the money came from.

WEAK STOMACH CAUSES SICKNESS
Different Symptoms That Result From
Indigestion. How to Cure by
Strengthening Stomach.

If you have ever suffered with a
weak stomach you must realize that
the digestive system is to the body
what the foundation is to the house
the base of support and strength.
Whatever hurts your stomach or
lessons its power, hurts all other parts
of the body and impairs their powers.
If the stomach is weak and distressed,
one organ after another will be in
volved until the heart, kidneys and
liver are all distressed.
Get the stomach right and health
will naturally come 10 the other or
gans. This explains why good many
people who have doctored for years for
diseases of the heart, kidneys or liver,
have at last been cured by Mi-o-na
stomach tablets. They found to their
establishment and happiness that,
when the weak stomach was strenth-
ened, their health returned. the heart
became regular, the torpid liver active
aud the kidneys healthy.
Do not think we claim Mi-o-na is a
'cure-an." 1t is not. 1t is a specific
for all distresses of the stomach and
when it strengthens the stomach and
cures indigestion, you will soon be well
all over without further medicine.
Mi.o-na is sold only in soc boxes,
never in bulk. 1t is sold under an alb
solute guarantee by Dodson's Drug
Store to refund money unless it cures.

THEFOOD PRODUCES OF AMERICUS
Samples viii Be Analysed By the
Government.

At almost any time in the next
month or two an inOffensiye and UNI
suspicious looking man is apt to strike
Anne ricus, enter its groceries and other
stores dealing in commodities that final
ly find their exit from the world of
commerce through the medium of the
human stomach, and there gather to-
gether samples of some of the articles
that are dealt IN.
| When these samples have been gath
cred together at the groceries, drug
stores, ETC., they will find their way to
Savannah. There, in a laboratory soon
to be established in the custom house
by the national government, they viii
be analysed.
This is all to be done in order that
the provisions of the pure food law
may be carried out. The intention of
the government is to establish these
i laboratories at different points, and
Savannah has been selected for the dis
trict in which Americas is located. 1t
is the intention TO vigorously enforce
the law as it stands.
OF course the retail or Wholesale
dealer will not suffer by the inspection.
If it is found that any of his articles Of
f! trade are not what they should be, the
manufacturers names will be obtained
and they will be brought up with a
round turn.
Tt seems to be the purpose to keep
inspectors going the rounds all the
time, gathering up samples. If they
perseyere in their work 1T is probable
| that the incomes of the doctors will be
seriously reduced and appendicitis
will become as rare disease as the
dodo is among the specimens gathered
| in natural museums.
