Makes Astonishing Cures
M-o-na Tablets Cure Dyspepsia by
Promptly Removing the Cause; or
Money Back.
Cures

Dyspepsia cannot be cured by taking
a digester such as pepsin, because pep
sin simply digests your food artifcially
and not all of your food either, for it
has no effect at all on starchy food,
such as potatoes, rice, oatmeal, bread
etc.
There is just one way to cure dys-
pepsia and stomach disorders, trivial
or serious, and that is to tone up or put
energy into the stomach walls, so that
they will be able to properly mix or
churn the food.
Mi-o-na tablets cure stomach troubles
by putting strength and energy into
the stomach. They quickly arouse the
stomach from it's inaction, and in a
short time it is able to do its work prop
erly.
Mi-o-na is successfully used in vomit-
ing Of pregnancy, in car and sea sick
ness.
And bear in mind that when the stom-
ach is in good condition, constipation
disappears, also nervousness, drowsi-
ness, night sweats, heartburn etc.
Fred D. Pierce. the druggist, sells
Mi-o-na tablets at so cents large

that is claimed for them. or money

BILLIONS FOR FARMERS.

Billions upon billions, the farmer
has again piled his wealth." says
Secretary Wilson of the departn ent
of agriculture in his 18th annual re-
port.
The value of all farm products in
1908 he continues, reaches the most ex-
traordinary total in the nations his
tory 81. 778, 600. 900. This is about
four times the value of the products of
the mines. including mineral oils and
precious metals. The farmer contrib
utes 81 per cent of the raw materials
used in those manufacturing indus.
tries hich depend mostly or consider
ably on agricultural materials, and
these industries use ~ per cent Of all
materials used in ali industries
The gain in value of farm products
in 1908 over 1907 is $3.50, 900, 900, and
would have been much larger had not
the prices of hay and cotton been low.
The value of products in 1899. the
census year, being taken at 100, the
value for 1909 stands at 1875; for 1904.
at l31 : for 1905, at ia ; for 1906, at l43
for 1907 at 159. and for 1908 at i65.
In the last 10 years the wealth produc-
ton on the farms of this country has
exceeded the fabulous sum of $50, OOO,-
0On. 0cO.
Greatest of all crops is Indian corn
whose production this year is 2.643.
100000 bushels. The value of this
crop is $l,6l5, 600, 900. This is enough
to cancel the Understanding debt IF
the United States and to pay for the
Panama canal and so battleships.
| This crop is worth this year nearly
as much as the great crops of cotton,
/ hay and wheat combined. Compared
with the averages of the preceding
! five years the quantity is two per cent
higher and the value 43 per cent high
err.
It seems likely that the cotton crop
is one of the highest three ever pro-
duced but with value next to the
highest or perhaps more, although
the farm price Of cotton this year is
below the price of last year by more
than one cent. For the first time in
the history of this country's agricult-
ure, the value of the cotton crop, in
GLIDING seed, has apparently exceeded
the value of the hay crop. which has
heretofore held second place.
The greatest hay crop in history has

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

A Newport dentist has been practic-
ing in the same Office for thirty
wears. 1t must be like pulling teeth
to live in Newport such length Of
time. Rutland News.
The appointment of young Theodore
Roosevelt to a position on the staff of
Governor Lilley of Connecticut looks
like q clear case of toadyism from
where The Messenger sits. The"e
Es no more reason why this young man
should have distinctions he has not
earned and is not vet old enough to
earn, generally speaking. than that
any other American should be adj
vanced beyond his present deserts

achievements Of his father. And all
this wishing Teddy Jr. the best of sue

It is Certainly to be hoped that the
bill to protect newspapers from the
imposition of spurious news, will
become law. This, the meanest and

if ANYTHING greater hath entered into
the mind of man Tor woman) to con-
ceive evil" Every newspaper man,
sooner or later, meets up with the
Smart Aleck who deems it the epitome
of humor to send in a fake piece OF
news, which when published incites
very deep ire indeed in the one con-
corning whom the alleged news is
written and still deeper vexation OF
spirit in the editor, who is held
responsible. The proposed law inn
poses fine of from SIS to $50 on the
authors or senders of the spurious
news, and it is measure of protection
and caution which we trust willlbe the
harbinger of similar statutes in every
state. Much is asked Of the American
