 To cure constipation remove the cause. The cause of constipation Is indigestion. If your food is digested properly it would continue oh from the stomach through the bowels. and would be eliminated without effort and with regularity.
 Mi-o-na tablets cure constipation by curing your indigestion. It is not a purgative. It is a stomach tonic and more--it tones up, strengthens. in- rigorates, refreshes and injects new life into the worn out muscles of the stomach, and in a short time makes the stomach hardy enough to digest any thing you eat It is q powerful, yet harmless stomach tonic, and its resist less influence on the stomach Is aston ishing.
 Try Mi-o-na for constipation. One box will cure you of indigestion; two boxes will relieve you of constipation; anu best of all, MI-o-na is such an economical remedy. 4 large box only costs so cents. and then. if yoa are not satisfied with results E. c. Fowler, the druggist will give you your money back.
 Mi-o-na cures all stomach disorders whether acute or chronic, such as dys- pepsia, vomiting, over-indulgence of the night before. sea or car sickness. stomach sickness of prospective moth CTS, etc.

CHURCHES OPENED WIDE DOORS

Thanksgiving day, as usual. was oe- served by all classes in Montgomery The banks were closed and the post office observed the holiday Many etores were closed. giving the clerks an opportunity to attend the churcn services or the football game or ob- serve the day according to their tastes and wishes.
 There were special Thanksgiving eerviees At a numb CT of the Montg omery churches. all of which were attended by large congregations, and most churches had beautiful musical pro- gram fer the occasion.
 Union services of a number of the Montgomery churches were held at the Dexter Avenue Methodist Church yes- terday morning at Il o'clock, while other churches that did not join in the union services had special services at their own churches.
 The union Thanksgiving services in which a hummer of the churches of Montgomery took part at the Dexter Avenue Meth odist Church. were attend cd by congregation, which filled the auditorium of the church.
 Rev. W. M. Cox. pastor of the Dex- ter Avenue Methodist Church, where the services were held. introduced Rev. Neander M. Woods, pastor of the Ceny tral Presbyterian Church who preach ed the Thanksgiving sermon.
 The services were opened by the, reading of a proc1a nation of thanks giving by Rev. W. NJ Cox, and a beautiful musical program was ren- dered by the choir of the Dexter Ave nue Methodist Church. The spirit of Thanksgiving was expressed in every phrase of the service.
 G=, Woods preached an excellent and typical Thanksgiving sermon. The text was from Proverbs xiv. 34: Right ousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people"
 Christ never exalted patriotism to the level of a Christian virtue" said pr. Woods. "As popularly understood, patriotism means love for ones own country and advocacy of its policies entirely, regardless of right or wrong, but Christ said, Thou shalt love thy neighboF as myself :" He loves all races and classes and nations, and taught his followers to do the same, and, above all He loved justice and fairness and never lent His approval to selhshness in any form.
 Virtues for Prosperity.
 But the Bible has much to say about those virtues which make for national prosperity, and especially does 1t denounce the sins and vices which pave the way to national degradation and ruin. It gives the history of Babylon. Assyria. Egypt and Judah, 2 and makes 1t clear that righteousness Is the oonly possession that insures . Perpefuity and prosperity to any na- tlon.

 "The Traitor"
 Mr.. Pollock's Best Work.
 With Thomas Dixon, 1T.
 Tn the work of preparing his novel "Ths Traitor" for the stage, Thomas Dixon Jr. did not trust to his skill alone. He enlisted the services in col Liberation of Channing Pollock. who for several years has been recognized as one of the best stage adaptors of novels in the United states. When 'sThe Pit" was the most popular book In the country and people talked of the possibility of its appearance on the stage, the wise critics said dramati- zation of the work was absolutely im- possible. Mir. Pollock performed the impossible, presenting the stage with a play which maintained the position on the top wave of public favor for several years. He executed the same feat in the case of The Secret Or chard" and several other novels which experts had condemned as unit for stage purposes. Mir. Dixon, in con junction with MT. Pollock, has evolved a play from The Traitor" which VIII come as a most surprising revelation to the people who have read the book Mir. Pollock himself claims 1t Is su- perior toany play of his previous achieve ment. Already much interest Is manifested in "The Traitor" which will be seen at The Grand, Saturday matinee and night.

Discipline.

With all the changes that have
taken place in American educa-
tional methods and ideals, and
they have been many,-there Is
none more remarkable than that
in the attitude of people of all
classes toward discipline.

Panhandle Hogs.

According to the Telegram
Mondays receipts at FIT. Worth
included mostly mostly Oklaho-
ma hogs, but Texas was well rep
resented, and the Panhandle
Offering were particularly notice
able. The Panhandle is now
sending to that market hogs that
are equally as good as those
from Oklahoma, and they are
selling right along in the same
notches as those from Oklahoma,
while as a rule hogs from other
sections of Texas lack the finish
of the Oklahoma product. When
Armour & Swift began opera
tons in Fort Worth such a thing
as raising hogs had never occur
ed to the farmers of the Pan
handle. But the packers have
claimed all along that the Pan
handle should develop into the
greatest hog raising section of
the state, and it seems as if their
predictions have at last become a
reality.-Clarendon Chronicle.

The Engineer Corps.

When, after the resignation OF
three successive heads of con.
struction, it was announced that
thenceforth the digging of the
Panama Canal was to be in the
hands of the engineer corps OF
the United States army, there
were many civilians who doubted
the wisdom of the arrangement.
They were unfamiliar with the
history and record of the corps,
but since they have read the
monthly records of constantly
increasing quantity of dirt taken
out, they have begun to see a
new light.
In point of fact, the army en-
gineers represent one of the
most competent bodies of men in
the world, and before beginning
work on the canal they already
had to their credit a remarkable
record of achievement. First, in
point of time, among the great
engineering featS which they
performed was the construction
of the national rOad--the old
Cumberland Pike that stretch
ed from Cumberland, Maryland,
to st. Louis, and made possible
the rapid settling of the middle
West.
/ More important still was the
building of nearly all of the early
railroads. Up to 1883 hardly
one important railroad had been
built without the assistance of
the army engineers. At cost
of one hundred and thirty mil
lion dollars, two-thirds of a
coast-line four thousand miles
long has been adequately forti-
ed. The blowing up of the OBJ
structions in He'll Gate, the build
ing of numerous lighthouses,
some of them under conditions
of especial difficulty, the great
works at the mouth of the Miss
issippi, and on the channel in the
Great lakes from Buffalo to Dull

for whom some friend could
answer, Good? Well, | should

deestric in Norton she just give

dation could be asked.
1t is, of course, well that this
ideal no longer survives, but
there is no longer any question,
for it is a fact, that the
pendulum has swung too far in
the other direction-and the rod
not far enough. 1t may be that
the increase in elective courses
is partly responsible. but the
change is more probable due to
the general softening of the
whole feeling toward children,
and the almost universal ten
dency toward making life easy
and happy for them.
Young people nearly always,
and parents far too often, as,
sociate discipline with punish
ment. This is unfortunate.
Discipline is really only the con-
forming to wholesome rules, the
training of mind and body to
obey laws and to perform GER
tain tasks at stated and required
periods. 1t is that ruling of
the spirit which makes a man
greater than the taker of a city.
There is no other way to success
in life. Without discipline the
native force however great, re-
mains uncOncentrated and UNI
applied. Youths Companion.

The Voices Of the Dead.

Under the above caption John

lowing beautiful lines:
I'VE die but leave an influence
behind us that survives. The
echos of our words are ever
more repeated and reflected
along the ages. 1t is what a
man was that lives and acts
after him. What he said sounds
along the years like voices amid
the mountain gorgeS; and what
he did is repeated after him in
ever multiplying and never ceas-
ing reverbation. Every man has
left behind him influences for
good or for evil that will never
exhaust them selves. The sphere
in which he acts may be small or
it may be great. 1t may be his
tireside, or it may be his kindom,
a village or great nation; but
act he does, unceasing and for
eyer.

To Bring Buyers 10 Ranges.

A movement has been started
by the Texas Cattle Raisers' AS
sOciatiOn to compel the buyers
from the large packing houses
of the country, and other buyers,
to come to the ranges and buy
the cattle there instead of having
them shipped to the markets of
the north and east.
The points argued in favor of
the plan are that the overlooking
of the markets would be ended,
which alone would tend to keep
the prices better; besides it
would do away with the shipment
of cattle of inferior grade as the
buyers, naturally, would be after
only stock tit for market.
Cattle raiSerS of this section
are divided in their opinions as
to the practicability of the plans.
Some say that it is entirely too
visionary and others pronounce
it good thing. The hindrance
to the success of the scheme may
lie in the fact that there are other
great cattle raising regions and
that concerted action along the
same line by growers in all sec
tons would be required.
One man to speak in favor of
the plan is President Springfield
low of the Amarillo National
bank. He said to the Daily Pan
handle man:
Without attempting to pass
upon the SOundneSS of the scheme
| would say that it promises
much of good to Texas. 1t would
prevent an over supply Of cattle
at any given point, which would
be means of giving degree of
uniformity in price heretofore
unknown. Under the present
system there is a flooding of the
market. TO illustrate my point
| would say that during a recent
visit to Kansas City | witnessed
the heaping of large numbers of
cattle upon the market. One
day there were 1000 and the
next the showing was $4,000.
With the adoption of the pro-
posed change, then this condition
could hardly prevail. The eX-
pense to the grower and the
shipper could therefore be cut to
a minimum, and his percentages
increased. 1t is apparent to all
thinking minds that when great
mass of cattle, or any other com
modify for that matter, is thrown
upon the market, Il decline in
price results. The changed man
ner in handling the supply would
have much to do in governing
this tendency to glut the markets
and shatter the prices. Elk.
