Everyone in Bismarck Has Right to
His Own Opinion.
FAB While everyone has right to his

consider what others think and profit
by it,
Nothing makes life so miserable, or
interferes so widely with the useful
ness of the average American, as indi-
gestion, and it is we'll for us to give
fair consideration to what others
think about this remarkable affliction.

in Mona stomach tablets it has an

Their action in selling Mona on

Reforming the Head Hunters.

A curious development is in steady
progress in the Solomon islands, the
group in the south Pacific which lies
to the west Of New Guinea, whose peo-
pie have earned such unenviable no.
toriety as head hunters. The young
men Of the tribes in these fertile and
beautiful Islands are abandoning the
historic pursuit which has made them
dreaded for centuries in the south seas
and are taking to the copra industry.
gCopra, which is the dried interior of
the cocoanut, is valued commercially
for the oil which can be pressed from
1t, and some of the young Solomon
islanders are accommodating consider
able wealth by extracting 1t, though
the older generation, to whom head
hunting is still the only profession for
q gentleman, are said to look down
