There is great deal of difference in the
quality of work broom will do and the
length of time it will wear. One that is

washing powder in hot water and dip the
broom up and down in it until the straws
look clean and new. Then rinse and
lang up to dry. If a new broom is dipped

Mi-o-na is the only logical dyspepsia
remedy on the market to-day. It is
not a digester. Il does not contain a
particle of pepsin. Il cures by building
up the muscular walls of the stomach
and making the stomach so strong and
perfect that It is able without artificial
help to digest an ordinary meal with
ease. and without discomfort.
The experience of Mr.. Goodiel Is a
common one. and it Is safe 10 say that
Mi-o-na tablets have cured more acute
