Millions of Stomachs Refuse to Do
Their Work Properly.

All over this broad land millions
of stomach owners are being held in
humiliating subsection just because
they are so stubborn that they will
not accept a fair, square and broad
minded offer.
Life is short for all of us: it will
be shorter for those who let their
stomachs go from bad to worse.
Anders Jacobsen has a famous
prescription called Mi-o-na, and he
believes SO thoroughly in its remark
able curative power that he says to
every owner of a distressed stomach
that he will guarantee Mona tablets
to cure acute or chronic indigestion
and all stomach ailments, or money
back, and the price is only so cents a
box.
And still there are stubborn people
right in Stafford who won't accept
this offer, but continue to suffer from
gas on stomach, belching of sour food,
stomach pains, foul breath, dizziness,
biliousness and headaches, just be-
cause-just because-that's all, there
is no other reason.

Care In Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest Of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are

Merchandise Steamers of the Muskoka

Among the interesting features Of
life in the Muskoka lake country, in
Ontario, are the floating stores. A
good sized steam vessel fitted out with
every imaginable item of merchandise
that might be required makes tour
of an assigned chain of lakes once
each week. On certain hour of a
certain day the boat is expected at
the different resorts and summer
homes, and enough merchandise must
be bought at each to tide over until
the next trip Of the floating store.
Upon stepping on board the store

chanics, the purchaser approaches a
counter with scales and cash drawer.

the counter are shelves. on which are
displayed such articles as may tempt
the eye. Behind these shelves is the
entrance to the storeroom and hold, in
which more merchandise is stored
Each article has it's place. and the
storekeeper can find it in a moment.
Sometimes isolated farms on the
lakes are not worth stopping at every

Engraved Gems of the Ancients.

Engraved gems are among the most
interesting objects of art inherited by
us from the ancients. Though many
of the canoes and intaglios were en-
graved on precious stones over 1000
years ago, they are still as clear and
fine as if they were cut yesterday.
The designs engraved on these stones
indicate that the old Greeks and Ro-
mans regarded them as charms against
accident or misfortune. This super
stition generally took the form of G
foRdness for representation of certain
animals. Sailors affected the dolphin
because it was believed to be the mari
ners friend. Women. so far as fishes
were concerned. preferred the repre-
sentation of the prolific aringn Of the
Adriatic. which was symbol of fruit
fulness because of the great number
of it's eggs. The ant WAS worn as an

The Good lime.

Frequently you hear a rich man
abused because he stays on the job
that made him rich instead of spend
ing his time gadding about the earth
in search OF good time. But it is
hardly fair to assume that avarice and
greed prompt such action or even that
it is a lack of faith in humanity Very
likely the work done represents the
good time for the man who stays at
it after all need of work has passed.
for it is certain that there are many
ideas of what constitutes happiness,
and the man who selects loafing is apt
to change his mind in time if he tries
it. Doing nothing is harder than work,
and if man has spent many years at
work, learning little of play, work
brings him, more enjoyment than the
butterfly existence. Globe
