of great genius is almost invariably

have been expressed that the glaciers
would disappear in time. since. as was
alleged. they gave strong evidence of
melting away. But the scientists
have been investigating carefully and
the result is comforting assurance
that the glaciers are all right, and
likely to stay indefinitely. The ap-
parent changes are explained by the
fact. as alleged, that glacier action is
variable. being subject to periodical
changes which cause the icy masses
to expand and contract at intervals.

HOW IS YOUR STOMACH
Easy Way to Strengthen Il and Ge
Well.

A good digestive system, one that
acts so that you do not know that you
have stomach, is Gods birthright to
every man-to every woman.
If digestion is weak, if food turns
into gas, if you suffer after eating,
if you are sleepless, nervous and
out of sorts-then the stomach is
diseased and prompt action should be
taken.
W. A. Ennis, a we'll known build

strengthen the stomach and get well
when he writes; 'Miona Stomach
Tablets have done more for me in
one week than all the doctors the
two years l was under their care
Thanks to Mona, l can work once
more the first time in over a year."

the stomach and cure indigestion by
