RULES FOR GOOD DIGESTION.
A Simple Way to Prevent and Cure
Stomach Trouble.

People do not want advice as to
their bad habits. but something that
will enable them to continue with
immunity.
The sufferer from indigestion and
stomach weakness does not want a
friend to say: Eat slowly and chew
your food thoroughly"
AS the majority of people have al
ready 50 abused the delicate stomach
that they suffer with distress after
eating. hatulence, headaches, coated
tongue, spots before the eyes and the
many other symptoms of indigestion,
it is necessary for them to use
strengthen the muscular walls of the
stomach and increase the flow of
gastric juices so that indigestion will
be cured
Mi-o-na is not a mere aid to diges-
tiontaken after meals, but a tablet
beforemeals, putting the whole diges-
tive system in such shape that il can
care for all the food that is eaten
without pain or distress.
In this way the digestive organs are
built up so that they are soon able to
take care of the food without any
artificial aid, and the use of medicine
can be discontinued.
Bowdtch, Webster & Co. give an
absolute guarantee with every 50-cent
box to refund the money unless
Mi-o-na does all that is claimed for it.
A guarantee like this must inspire
your confidence in the remedy.

HElaESS TO FORTUNE.
About 100000 Awaits Miss Georgia
Smythe, Boston Waitress.

Boston, Jan. 2S.-The Globe says
that Miss Georgia A. Smythc,
waitress in a Cambridge

from ner home in New Brunswick that
she Is entitled to a fortune of $200,o00
by virtue of being great great grand
daughter of Maria Fitzherbcrt cele-

The Strawberry Bed.

IT j i'll be time We'll spent to stop 9TH

sISttpce they struggle for. Il foothold

they will be there in early spring to
pre-empt and occupy the soil. The
vines should be so spread that they
form a perfect matted row with a path
from II to IS inches wide on each side.
If the rows have become too close,
part Of the plants should be cut out.
This is best done now. 1t Is better IT,
cultivate the soil so frequently that
the space between the rows will never
be covered with runners. The soil
should be loose and mellow between
the rows. Upon the same principle
that road freezes harder than a
plowed field, berry patch that is
packed hard will freeze much harder
than one which rs kept mellow. "A
mulch of some Kind is of great i'm
portance for protection. 1t should be
put on after the ground is frozen and
left until after the danger Of hard
freezing in the spring. This will keep
the pants from "heaVing, which Is
the result of alternate freezing and
thawing, and the blossoms are held
back long enough in the spring to es-
cape the usual frosts. Marsh grass Is
the best kind of mulching. as it lies
closer than grain straw. but rye, wheat,
oats or barley straw are suitable.
Shavings or sawdust has also been
used, and so have cornstalks and for
est leaves. There is an objection by
some growers to the use of buckwheat
straw, as it is believed that in some
way it poisons the plants, but this no
doubt is only imaginary. In localities
where Southern pine is abundant the
needles are spread on Strawberries and
are highly recommended for the pur-
pose. If Z fertilizer is desired, horse
manure having a good supply Of litter
is excellent.
