REMOVE THE CAUSE.
Eow to Remedy Much OF the Suffering in
Belfast

There is hardly family in Belfast where
there are not one or more members who
suffer at times from the effects of weak
stom ach
1t may be that this occurs only after eat
some food that does not agree, or be-
cause of supper late at night; or it may be
that the stomach is SO weak that scarcely
any food can be eaten without pain and dis
treSS.
The only way to treat a condition Of this
kind successfully is with Mi-O-na. 1t re-
moves the cause of Indigestion, weakness of
the muscles of the stomach and bowels. and
restores the whole digestive system to health
and strength so that it takes care of all the
food that is eaten.
Get well and strong by using Mi-c-na
tablets Take the remedy at the first symp-
tom of Indigestion. when you can be cured
easily with "a few doses. However, no case
of stomach trouble is too severe or chronic
for Mi-O-na to overcome.
A. A. Howes & Co. sell it under an abso-
lutte guarantee to refund the money unless
| it cures. A 5O-cent box lasts for couple of
weeks, and will do more real good than a
dozen boxes of the ordinary digestive tablets.

Some Good Advice.

Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed Of
hard work. Work for the best sal
airy or wages you can get, but work
for half price rather than be idle.
Be your own master, and do not
let society or fashion swallow you
individually hat, coat and boots.
Do not eat up or wear out all you
can earn. Compel yOnr selfish
body to spare something for profits.
saved. Be stingy to your appetites
but merciful to others necessities.
Help others and ask no help for
yourself. See that you are proud
too. Let that pride be Of the right
kind. Be too proud to be lazy; too
proud to give up without conquer
ing every difficulty; too proud to
wear a coat you cannot afford to
buy; too proud to be in company
that you cannot keep up within ex-
pense; too proud to be stingy. St.
