BEWARE OF PHYSIC.
Only Aggravates Stomach Trouble
and Never Cures.

HHU NtVcT CufOs'
The trouble with most people
who have stomach trouble is that
they do not like to take the time to
get cured; they overeat and then
take physic, which simply upsets the
stomach and never cures.
While relief follows one or two
doses OF Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
chronic and long-standirg cases need
at least two or three weeks treat
ment before the sick headaches,
dizzy spells, bloating, heartburn,
constipation, nervousness and other
symptoms that directly result from

In This the French Arc First and the
Irish Come Next.
Artistic taste is due to temperament,
and where this exists the simplest ma
terials lend themselves to artistic COM
binatlons and beautiful effects.
The French excel in dainty, graceful
designs because of their volatile, mlrth
loving Compartments. The Germans
gan never reach these heights because
their Compartments are just the re-
verse, while 1t has been proved in sew
eral workrooms that. next to the
French, the Irish temperament is the
most artistic.

they TO appreciate and profit by the
fine productions of others; hence we
are slad'to see and grateful for the
privilege Of studying the models
brought from Paris each season by the
enterprlsing importers.
Twenty-Five years ago In Paris and
London the houses that catered to
America and the colonies put aside for
this trade any designs that were too
extreme or screaming for the fastid-
Ious home buyers, says the Millinery
Trade Review. But times have changed.

gi,lered the best dressed In the world.
