PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE
Druaaists Will Battle Stomach
Troubles in Grants Pass.

The increase Of stomach troubles
In Grants Pass has led Demarsy to
take effective measures TO combat the
disease. He has the local agency for
Mi-o.na stomach tablets, and in order
to induce people suffer ng with weak
stomach or indigestion to use the
remedy. offers to supply it with the
distinct understanding that money
will be refunded in every case whore
IL does not cure.
Mi.o-ns is not mere digestive, bot
an absolute strengthener and builder
up OF the whole digestive tract. II
you suffer with headaches. giddipess,
palpatation. bad taste in the month,
nervousness. coated tongue. distress
after eating, use Mi.o.na and see how
quickly these symptoms Of = weak
stomach will disappear.
The remedy strengthens the muscu
lar walls Of the stomach and increases
the flow of gastric juices so that
nourisbmentis extracted from the food
and the refuse is expelled without
the aid Of purgative or laxative medi
cines.
Remember that Demaray gives {

Mr.. Justice Hawkins tenderness for
women prisoners was we'll known. He
admitted it, and he bad great dislike
OF sentencing these poor creatures to
death who had been recommended to
mercy and would probably be repriev-
ed. On one such occasion the sheriff
asked If he was not going to put on
the black cap.
No" he answered. II am not. l do
not intend the poor creature to be
hanged. and | am not going to frighten
her to death"
Addressing her by name. he said
Don't pay any attention TO what
am going to read. No harm will be
done to you. l am sure you did not
know in your great trouble and sorrow
what you were doing. and | will take
care TO represent your case so that
nothing will harm you In the way of
punishment"
He then mumbled over the words of
the sentence of death so that the poor
creature did not hear them.-London

Condor Individuality.

We had the best chance of studying
the colors of the condor head The bill
was horn color, and the red skin of the
head extended down, covering it about
halfway. The legs were tan. but on
each knee was a patch of red. On the
breast of each bird the skin was blood
red and could be seen occasionally
when the breast feathers were spread
and the birds were preening. Both had
light colored wing bars. and the pri-
maries were well worn. The skin on
the throat hung loose. and the lower
mandible fitted close under the upper.
The chin was orange red. and below
this on the neck was Il strip of green
ish yellow merging into the orange
about the sides and back of the neck
The top and front of the head were
red, but between the eyes was Il small
patch of black feathers, and these ax-
tended down in front Of the eye into
the orange red of the cheek. The pupil
OF the eye was black. but the iris was
deep and red and conspicuous The
