DAwsON's POISON FACTORIES
You Will BE Surprised to Learn How
Many There Are.

Did you ever feel stupid and dup
after eating a hearty dinner?
When food is retained too long in
the stomach, because of stomach
weakness, the poison factory works
overtime and there is giddiness, con-
fusion of thought, dependency
heartburn, sleeplessness, nervous
trouble and other forms of indiges-
ton.
The general use of Mona stom-
ach tablets puts within the reach of
everyone a reliable and positive cure
for all stomach weakness. Mi-o-na
quickly cures the worst case of indi-
gestion, and the pain and distress
which is often felt after meals will
soon disappear, such is the wonderful
curative power of this little tablet.
Mi-o-na acts upon entirely differ
ent principles from any Of the other
remedies that have been used in
stomach trouble. 1t is taken before
meals, and has a specific strengthen
ing action upon the muscles of the
stomach, increasing the flow of diges-
tive juices and making the stomach
get to work and digest easily and
naturally the food which is eaten.

The idea Judge Griggs has in
bringing this subject up for consid-
Grafton is that by this proposed ac-
ton of congress the accommodations
of the farmers will be enormously in
creased, and the merchants of the
small towns and the country store
keeper will realize an immense adj
vantage. 1t will effect direct, sat
isfactory and safe communication be-
tween the farmers along the route
and the merchants in their own To-
cality, which gives the country store
keeper an incalculable advantage,
and means a great saving to the
farmer, resulting in increased con-
sumption and consequent larger
trade. 1t will give to the country
the pleasant situation of allowing
the rural free delivery carrier to form
the connecting link of business be-
tween the towns, country store and
farmer.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The lack OF

dents OF the national capital will un-
dertake to raise the other half and
will make personal appeal to other
wealthy men In all parts of the coun-
try for funds. While such structure
would bring I'm more or less revenue,
il Is not believed the money thus de-

Washington, Dec. 10.-The big la.
Dor test case, with Alton B. Parker
among the counsel, and the execu-
tive heads of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, arrayed against the
Buck stove and Range company, az
filiated with the great manufactur-
ing interests in the country, was
argued in the court of appeals in the
District of Columbia today. The case
is on appeal from an injunction
granted by Judge Gould, of the Dis
trict supreme court, restraining the
federation from continuing the name
Of the Buck company on the 1--WE
Don't Patronize" list in the organi-
zation's organ the Federationist.
The counsel for the federation Of
ficials opened the arguments, urging
reversal of the lower court. In
answering Judge Van Orsdel as to
the right of an employe to prevent
his employer from continuing busi-
ness by taking on new hands, Attor-
ney Ralston declared that the foun-
dation of such a right was the pow
| er of free speech, by which means
an employe might dissuade the pros
pective successor from taking up th'
work which he had dropped.
| The counsel strenuously denied
that the method of the federation L
prevent sales of the st. Louis con
Germ amounted to an unlawful con
lspiracy or an unlawful boycott. Tn
Icounsel for the Buck company aske
that the injunction be continued i
effect. The decision of the court ha

What Must BE Done.
For each million acres of forest in
public ownership, over three million
are privately owned. The conserva-
ton of public forests is the smaller
task before the nation and the states.
The larger task Is to induce private
forest owners, which means three
million men to take care of what
they have, and to teach wood users,
which means every one, how not to
waste.
If these things are done, they will
conserve our streams as well as our
forests. II they are not done, the
usefulness of our streams will de-
crease no less than the usefulness of
our forests.
