LEARN 70 EAT
Few People in MarshaIItov,n Really
Know How.

Few People in MarshalItown Really
Know How.
Slow eating will solve onei-half the
problem of Ill health. Those who suffer
already with indigestion and weak
stomach can with care and t''e use of
Mi-o-na stomach tablets restore their
digestion to healthy condition, so that
they can eat what they want at any
time without fear of distress or suffer-
ing.
After few days use of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets, the headache, dizzy
feeling, drowsiness, bad taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, nervousness,
sleeplessness, distress after eating-all
these symptoms of a weak stomach
will disappear, and perfect digestion
and a good skin will show that the
vital machinery is once more running
smoothly.
Take little Mi-o-na tablet before
each meal so that it will stimulate the
digestive juices and give strength to
the stomach, and then it will take care
of the food that is eaten, without in
digestion and the unpleasant full feel
ing with which SO many suffer after
meals. f+t
Mcbride, & Will had so much conf
dence in the power of Mi-O-na to cure
indigestion and all. stomach ills that
they give a guarantee with every
5O-cent box to refund the money If the
remedy fails to give satisfaction.

Police Station in Demand as Sleeping
Place for Unemployed.
According to the police, this winter
gives promise of being the worst IN
Years for the number of trnmps. no.
boes and unemployed men who will In
fest the city. This prophecy is based
on the number of men who have al
most daily, during the month of De-
cenber, sought the police TO provide
them with q place to sleep. These re-
quests have been complied with. and
almost nightly the South Third ave-
nue. police station has had It's sleep
ers' who have stayed in it to be out
of the cold. AS high as eight a night
have frequently sought shelter there,
and there were but very few nights
during the month when there were not
at least one or more. count was
kept during the month, and the tota!
was 112, an average of almost four
night.
On the wooden benches and cement
floor Of the station these men have
slept, content, despite the hardness OF
their beds, to be near the fire. The
police say that not all of those who
apply for a place to sleep are of the
professional tramp and hobo class
Some of them are fairly we'll dressed
men, without money or work. How
anxious they may be to work is an
other question.
The police say that the colder the
weather becomes the more numerous
these applicants for sleeping place
will become, and the high water mark
has not yet been reached.

ishment. According to board members
the reason Tor disseminating it was be-
cause the county could buy what
crushed stone 1t needed as cheaply as
1t could get the stone delivered to the
jail yard. In addition there was the
cost Of a guard to watch the prisoners
while they worked.
The supervisors now say that there
seems to be necessity for the stone
pile, and that both Sheriff Hutson and
Chief of Police w. e. Nicholson have
that the old system be
again put in force. The board has al.
ready number of applications from
those who want to act as guard.
