SENSIBLE HOBBY
wel-Known People Devote Spare
 Time to Upbuilding Health.

Physical culture Is getting to be more and more of a hobby with many people, who devote their spare time not only to upbuilding their own physical health, but in preaching doc trine of good health to others
 There Is no excuse today for any person, unless tainted with an incura- bI0 disease, remaining sickly, with the great advance in medical discoveries and the growing popularity of physi- cal culture.
 triton, for example, an acknowledged specific treatment has been found in Mi-o-na. It is relied upon as a cer- tainty in relieving the worst troubles of digestion and assimilation. and mak- ing a complete cure.
 People suffering with headaches, pal pitation, sleeplessness. bad taste in the
 mouth, coated tongue, distress after eating, specks before the eyes, ner- vousness and general debility. and any other of the many distressing results of a weakened stomach. should pront by the discovery of Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
 E. c. Fowler has seen so many cures by Mi-o-na of stomach and general rundown state of health that he Is firm believer in the power of this rem edy to cure practically every case, and he shows this faith by giving guar antee with every b0-cent box of Mi-o- na to refund the money unless 1t does all that is claimed for 1t. He takes the whole risk, and Mi-o-na will not cost | you a penny unless It cures.

SOUTHERN DELEGATE CONTESTS.
Are Causing the Taft Following Deal of
 Trouble.

Trouble.
 Washington Special to New York Sun.
 Indisputable evidencs has been obtained here that the managers of the Taft Presi- dential candidacy are looking for delegates in what are known as the. "favorite son" states-namely, News York. Illinois In- eiana. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania This discovery on the part of the so-called allied forces Is expected to add zest to the great race now in progress in the Republican par ty, and the fear is expressed by party lead CTS that before many days have passed there win be open hostiIities between Taft and certain candidates in the field. Up to date. the contest, on the surface, at least, has been devoid of personal rancor or bit- terness.
 Secretary of war Taft himself enunciated the dootirne that every State having can didate should stick to its favorite son. This doctrine was soon after Governor Hughes oauaed 1t to be made known that he was a receptive candidate for the Presidency.
 The determination of the Tafters not to eo into the states of the favorites has been vacated. 1t is understood. owing to the sit- uation confronting them in the South. De- snite the tremendous exertions made there in behalf of the Secretary of War, his can didacy has made little or no progress n that section. when Frank H. Hitchcock, sornner First Assistant Postmaster general. tied himself up with ths Taft boorns t was the expectation that he would be abie to swing the Southern States in line for the man whom Roosevelt had picked out to succeed him in the White Rouse. me drift in the South was away rom Fats when Mir. Hitchcock assumed charge of the Taft forces. and 1t has not veered since then. It is already apparent that North Carolina, South Carolina and cartain other Southern states will send Cannon delegates to the Chicago Convention. There Is trou- | ble for the Taftsrs in Aiaoama' m Mlss,s' souri and in Mississippi. while in Kentucky | senator-elect Bradley is doing yeoman ser vice for vice.President Fairbanks.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE
f Furred and Coated, it is 8 Warn
 ing of Trouble to Come.

. When 1t is the morning after the night before, you do not have to look at your tongue to know that the stom- aclf is upset; the head is aching with a dull rhythm, and that all the world looks black and dreary.
 It may have been lobster Newburgh. Welsh rarebit or some other tasty dish that looked much better at night than the morning after. There is no need to look at the tongue thermometer then for symptoms Of trouble. You natur- ally go to your box of Mi-o-na st0m- ach tablets. and with one of the little relievers bring joy and gladness to the physical system.
 The real time to watch the tongue is all the time. If 1t is coated with a white fur, or possibly with dark trim not tell you by the acute pains of in- digestion that it needs help. yet the coating shows that you are getting in- to . bad way and that there lis need of Mf-o-na. /
 Used at the first symptom of coat ed tongue. distress after eating, head aches, dull and lifeless feeling. fiatu- lence, or any other of the early symp- toms of indigestion. Mi-o-na will strengthen the stomach muscles so that they will take care of all the food that is eaten without the slightest pain or discomfort. It will increase the flow of gastric juice so that the food di- gests as Nature intended it should. ex- tracting the nourishment and strength and expelling the waste from the sys- tenn without further aid.
 Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, Sd re- liable in It's curative action upon the stomach that D. c. Fowler, the local | agent, gives an isabsclute guarantes | with every 60-cent box he sells to re- fund the money unless the remedy givei | absolute and complete satisfaction.

FOUND TRUE REMEDY
E. c. Fowler is Sure Mi-o-na Will Cure All Stomach
 Troubles.

rh. fnealculable amount of good that AKi-o-na stomach tablets are doing in Montwomery, in making sick and even despairing people well, should compel tha attention of every Judicious person who is out of health with stoihach troubles. ..
 The underlying cause of nervous de- biiity, headaches, sleeplessness ana melancholy is faulty nutrition, the re- suit of a weakened stomach ana mac tive bowels. .L tissues cannot assimilate proper nour ishment, no matter how much rood IS eaten. Mi-o-na increases the strength and activity of the muscular walls or the stomach. regulates the bowels ano makes the blood capable or conveying nutriment to all the vital organs.
 The use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets makes all the difference between fired. nervous, sluggish condition 2 weakened stomach, and a healthy' en- erxetic bodily condition.
 Tn no other way can you so quickly .o readily and so positively stimulate inc stomach to good health as by us ip9 Mi-o-na. The fact that this rem adv is sold by D. c. Fowler under gparantee to refund the money unless | if cures, shows conclusively It's supe riority over ordinary, old-fashioned al

 Moita was a handsome woman of sonic Ave and twenty. dark as night, with regular features indicative or strength of character, The straight dark brows and firm thin lips spoke Of a hot temper: and had abundant eyi- dence of the truth of the indications in her treatment of those about her.
 For me she professed the most sr- dent affection, and she wearied me fn- effabIy with her assiduous attentions and evidence of her feelings It seem ed almost as if she thought she could win me back to health by the mere protestations of love; and when she found me Inexpensive, her eyes would flash with anger at one moment and melt into tears the next
 conceived an instinctive dislike for her, indeed, and 1t was only with great effort could restrain myself from showing 1t.
 She could not avoid perceiving that there was a great change in me. Ap- parently I had been an ardent lover. giving caress for caress, and when now I turned away from her or submitted uneasily to her lavish proofs of affec- ton. she would upbraid me roundly for my coldness one instant, and the next break out into wild storms of grief, attributing the change to some serious injury to my brain.
 She was a passionate, stormy crea- ture of extremes of feeling and emo- tion; utterly without self-controf; un- bridled and a complete slave to the feelings of the moment
 Had I been in reality as i'll as she thought, her treatment of me would have retarded my recovery, even if it had not destroyed all chance of 1t. But I purposely affected to be worse than was. because wished to use the time of convalescence to learn all could of the position of matters on the island.

 As the commuter who always board ed the train at Paradise Hills seated himself he was conscious that the young man next him looked at him with some curiosity as they exchanged good mornings. For the first few min utes neither one spoke. Then the young man broke the ice. 'You have a delicate throat, see," he said. com miseratingly. 'I used to be bothered that way myself.
 The commuter hesitated. There was something about his seatmate which invited confidence.

 The commuter cautiously Ioosened the bandage round his throat and turning toward his companion. dis played an absurd looking, polka-dotted tie.

The old and the New way.

Political methods change with the years. In the good old days 1t was left to public sentiment to crystallize upon a name for the head of each ticket, and the later names were ss- lected for their availability, geograph- ically and otherwise In those days the office made some pretention of look ing for the man. Now public senti- ment is coached in the direction of this candidate and that, paid representa- tives traversing the country in search of votes, and only the rich, or those for whom the rich ones will put ur a stiff sum, have any chance of serv- ing the dear public. The idea is not strictly utOpian, to say the least

Madison.-Following the welcome
given by Gov. Davidson to the lake
states forestry convention, which met
In the capitol, the representatives of
the various states and provinces,
without any 'talkfest," Immediately
began consideration of uniform legis-
lation. Three measures were placed
before the body for consideration.
The first proposition discussed pro-
vides for better fire protection to tim
Der in the three lake states-Minne-
sofa, Wisconsin and Michigan. The
plan suggested by Wisconsin is a tax
of two to two and one-half cents per
acre upon wild and uncultivated lands
In the north, for a special patrol of
the forests. This law virtually has
been agreed upon by the lumbermen
of northern Wisconsin.
The second proposed law provides
for the burning of all "slash'-tops
of trees-within year after the cut
ting.
To encourage the protection of tim

posal is to tax only the lands, not
the timber, which are listed and un-
