National bank Of Bloomington, ILL.,;
his brother, Lafayette Funk, president
of the State Trust & Savings bank OF
the same place, and Frank Hoblett,
cashier of the National Bank Of Car
5linville, Ill, formed a party Of Illinois
men who were in Billings yesterday
looking after their property interests
in this section Of Montana.
The three gentlemen are heavy
stockholders In the Bloomington Land
& Cattle company, which owns 10000
acres Of land along the Musselshell
river and the o. X. Bar ranch. Jacob
Funk is president Of the company.
The Funk Bros. own . large area Of
valuable farming land in Illinois near
Bloomington and are interested in the
Funk Bros Seed company. For years
they strove to secure the prize for the
best fat stock at the Chicago fat stock
show. Z
Lafayette Funk is a member Of the

was especially true Of Lafayette Funk.

He declared that land on which wheat
like that grown by MI. George could

1t is probable that the members Of

by them on the Musselshell before
their return to Illinois.

PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE
Druggists Will Battle Stomach
Troubles in Augusta.

The increase of stomach troubles ir
Augusta has led Bowditch. Webster &
Co to take effective measures to COM
bat the disease.
They have the local agency for
Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and in order
to induce people suffering with weak
stomach or indigestion to use the
remedy, offer to supply it with the
distinct understanding that money will
be refunded in every case where it
does not cure.
Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive, but
an absolute strengthened and builder
up of the whole digestive tract. If you
suffer with headaches, giddiness, palpi-
tation, bad taste in the mouth
nervousness, coated tongue. distress
after eating, use Mo-o-na and see how
quickly these symptoms of a weak
stomach will disappear.
The remedy strengthens the muscular
walls of the stomach and increases the
flow of gastric juices so that nourish-
ment is extracted from the food and
the refuse is expelled without the aid
of purgative or laxative medicines.
Strengthen the stomach and make it
do it's own work by using Mi-o-na.
Do not fuss and nurse it along by
digestive tablets that do no lasting
good. Make complete cure of your
stomach troubles and replace weak
ness with strength by using Mi-o-na.
Remember that Bowditch, Webster
& Co, give a guarantee to refund the
money unless it cures. They take all
the risk, and there is no danger Of
you losing anything except indigestion
when you buy a 50-cent box Of
Mi-o-na.

consisted Of the reception of the officers
of the organizat ton and the accession OF
new members. Upon the former were be
slowed with appropriate ceremonies
crosses of honor and diplomas.
The sermon was well worth hearing and
will not soon be forgotten. The preacher
compared the officers of the Sacred Heart
Society to officers in the regular army
They were not. he said. towards or de.
serters or soldiers who fought for pay
but soldiers who battled for a love of
their flag and their leader.
The Scriptural illustrations were espec-
tally apt and impressive. The Shrine of
the Sacred Heart was more than usually
beautiful by the addition of an electrical
design representing "Thy Kingdom
Come" the motto of the society.
The singing of the children was another
attractive feature of the celebration and
certainly Father McCabe and his choir
have every reason to be proud CT their
success last evening.

THE STRAWBERRY CROP.
Oealers Predict BountifuI Supply at
a Price Within Reach of All.

glut in the strawberry market is
the prediction of fruit dealers in nearly
an sections of the country Reports
from the growers of berries. in
virginia, Delaware and New jersey in
dlcate that the coming crop will he
better than for many seasons and
snow that a larger acreage has been
devoted to the fruit. 1t is predicated
that lovers of this succulent fruit in
many northern cities will be able TO
eat all the good berries they want at
SIX cents quart, or perhaps five.
10 suggest that some persons can
not eat the raw strawberry as it comes
from the garden without stomach dis
tress may seem almost unpatriotic for
every American thinks it a patriotic
duty to eat strawberries whether thew
agree with him or not. 1t is a fact.
however. that many persons cannot
eat them without discomfort. The full
enjoyment of this delicious berry is
denied to thousands whose stomachs
do not take kindly to the peculiar acid
and the numberless little seeds which
1t contains For these persons the
soggy white flour dough of Short
CAKE makes bad matter even worse.
Almost any person whose stomach has
not gone out of business entirely can
eat Strawberries and Shredded Wheat
Biscuit with perfect safety and full
est enjoyment. The best way to pre-
pare them is to heat the Biscuit in an
oven until the shreds are crisp then
crush cavity in the top of the Bis
cult and fill this with the berries in
their own juices; then pour milk or
cream over it and sweeten TO suit the
taste. 1t is claimed that there is
something about the porous shreds
that neutralizes the fruit acid and the
combination makes most wholesome
and delicious dish-more easily d.
gested and much more nutritious than
the ordinary short cake
You can make the same wholesome
combination with raspberries or ally
kind of fresh fruit. A favorite sum-
mer MONDAY dish at the Union
League Club Of Chicago is made by
partly filling small bowl with red
raspberries, then covering with d
layer Of Shredded Wheat crumbs
(made by crushing two crisp Biscuits
in the HANDY, then adding a little
cream and sugar. Such a lunch is
wholesome and easily digested The
Shredded Wheat itself contains more
real nutriment than meat or eggs and
costs much lesS-While the fruit ADDS
to it's healthfulness and palatability.
A more ideal summer diet could not oe
