HA! HA! HA!
Good Digestion and Good Health
Bring Joyous Life.

Whoever heard Of a jolly dyspcptic
Merrimcnt and indigestion are as far
apart as the North and South poles
Don't blame the poor dyspcptic for
being blue, cross. nervous, irritable
and grouchy. He cannot help it. No
one whose stomach is weak. whose
nerves are on edge whose tongue is
furred and who heSitatcs at eating a
hearty meal for fear of the distress
that will follow. can be swcet-tem-
pered.
Tone up the weak stomach muscles
and get digestion working naturally
by using Mi-o-na stomach tablets
This remedy is not a mere digestive
that gives temporary relief only; it
cures all stomach troubles by strength
ening the digestive machinery and
putting it into such perfect order that
it will take care of all foods without
distress, indigestion or fatulence.
Mi-o-na cures stomach troubles in a
perfectly natural way, increasing the
flow of gastric juices SO that life's
nourishmcnt is extracted from the
food and the refuse is expelled with
out the aid Of laXatives or other medi-
cine.
If the complexion is blotched or PIN
pied. in nine cases out of ten it is
caused by stomach troubles and can
not be cured until the stomach is
regulated by M-o-na.
So reliable and positive is the action
of Mi-o-na in curing Indigestion and
all stomach weakness that Bowditch.
Webster x Co. sell the remedy under
guarantee to refund the money I'M
less it cures. Try a 50-cent box and
see how quickly you will get relief
from indigestion and in how short a
time YOU will forget that you have had
a stomach.

SKIN CLEARED.
By Simple Change in Food.

1t has been said by a physician that
most diseases are the result of indi-
gcstion.
There's undoubtedly much truth in
the statement. even to the cause of
many unsightly eruptions, which many
suppose can be removed by applying
some remedy on the outside.
Ry changing her food Kansas girl
was relieved of an eczema which was
a great annoyance to her. She writes:
For five months l was suffering
with an eruption on my face and hands
which our doctor called eczema and
which caused me a great deal of in
convenience. The suffering was al
most unbearable.
THE medicine I took only gave me
temporary relief. One day l happened
to read somewhere that eczema was
caused by Indigestion. Then read
that many persons had been relieved
of indigestion by eating Grape-Nuts.
II decided to try it. l liked the
taste of the food and was particularly
pleased to notice that my digestion
was improving and that the eruption
was disappearing as if by magic. L

Much has been said and written
about the old battle flags which
adorn the walls at either side of the
main rotunda. 1t Is interesting, and
at the same time inspiring. to watch
the looks of reverence. almost akin to
awe, with which visitors regard these
precious relics. In fact, the precise
effect of this spectacle. as shown on
the face of the visitor seeing it for the
first time. is a sure mark of the good
breeding of that particular individual,
Suffice to say. that in almost every
instance the sight of the flags is the
Inspiration of a silent reverence too
deep for words.

Auc1IoAEERs POSTPONE
So Many of the Auctioneers Unable
to Come to Convention That
It Was Postponed.

Ten or twelve auctioneers met in
che city hall Wednesday for their
sixth annual convention OF the associ-
alton, with President Doyle, of
DelEont, and Secretary Merritt, Of
Parker, present. An informal meet
ing Of the auctioneers was held, at
which Secretary Merritt read and
referred TO about twenty-five letters
received from members telling of
their Inability to attend the meeting
at the present ii ne, being called
away on business matters. AS a con-
sequence there was not much doing
and the convention was not opened.
Two OF three of the auctioneers,
among them Col. e. T. Furbush,
OF. Redtield, gave his experience in
hanaline the license question tina. is
required to auction off a stock of
goods.
An adjournment was taken until
l O'Clock In the afternoon. In the
meantime President Doyle had to go
home and there were no new arrivals,
excepting Col. E. 8. Kean, Of Alex
andria, who occupied the chair at
the informal meetings.
Without %transactinQ any business
whatever, the members decided to
postpone the meeting of the associ-
alton TO Jan. s, 8, :, 1909. and the
convention will be held IN this city
at that time, and the au.tiopeers
feel that there will be a larger atten-
dance.

JIMMY AND JANE FOR The CHILDREN
Queer Mrs. kanoaroo.


Mrs. Kangaroo has a big pocket in
which she carries her young ones. 1t
Is the contest kind Of q place for a lit
tie Kangaroo. and sometimes you will
find a whole family of brothers and
sisters in the pouch at once
However, this is not the only way
Mrs. Kangaroo has of carrying her
children. When hunters pursue her
she puts all her babies into her pocket
and runs. for dear life. but if she feels
that the enemy is gaining on her and
that she is in dangersof being captured
she seizes one little one after another
with her forepaws and hurls it out of
the pocket to one si.le of her pathway
as far as she can throw it. She takes
care to do this only at times when the
enemy is not in sight. In this way she
is relieved of the weight of the young
sters, and she can run faster.
At the same time. says the Chicago
News. her motive is not a selfish one.
She throws her babies out in so skill
full a n that it does not hurt
them. They are soft little creatures,
and when they land in a brush heap
they are none the worse for 1t. The
hunter loses all scent of the little kan
garoos by this movement.

Character GUESSING.

All the players sit around In q circle.
The player who first thinks Of an inter
esting character in one of Grimm's
fairy tales or in Alice In Wonderland"
or any other book that is quite familiar
to all the players sits on the floor With
in the circle IL begins to describe the
character. The other children listen
carefully, and the first one who thinks
he has guessed the character sits on
the floor beside the other and continues
to describe the character. II he has
guessed rightly and is correct in his
description, The first player allows him
to go on describing. but II he is mis-
taken the first player Shoes him out Of
the game. AS soon as a child thinks he
has guessed the character he sits on
the floor and tells what he knows of
the character. and so 1t goes on till all
the children are sitting on the door ex-
cept those who have guessed wrong,
and they are all driven out Of the
game.

Error In

There has been a good deal Of discus
sdon now and then as to the phrase
grammatical error" but the best
scholars hold that it Is not good Eng

active and not passive, or perhaps 1t
might be better to say that it Is sub
jective and not objective, and it means
In accordance with the rules or prin-
ciples Of grammar. There cannot, there
fore, be a grammatical error, for an er-
ror cannot be grammatical. The right
expression is IAN error in grammar
