about government loan in which he
was largely interested. When he
reached the yacht he sent another
man to wait till midnight at the office.
The diva was angry, he thought;
that was clear, and perhaps she had
some right to be. The tone of her

At this time Of year, as he knew, she
was beset with offers of engagements
to sing, and they had to be answered.
From eight o'clock in the morning to
midnight there were 16 hours, ample
time for . retransmitted message to
reach her anywhere in Europe and to
be answered. Logotheti felt a sensa.
ton of deep relief when the man came
aboard at quarter-past midnight and
reported himself empty handed; but
he resolved to wait till the following
evening before definitely leaving
Naples for the ten days which must
elapse before Baraka could try on her

showed no inclination to travel far,

money, still protesting. So that was
settled. and Baraka was to be out

truth, the establishment is really
smart one, and she was favorably i'm
pressed by the many pretty frocks
and gowns that were tried on several
pretty young woman in order that she
might make her choice.
Baraka would have liked a blue
satin skirt with yellow train and a
bright green silk body, but in her
travels she had noticed that the
taste of Feringhi ladies' was for
very sober or gentle colors, compared
with the fashionable standards of
Samarkand, Tiflis, and Constantinople,
and she meekly acquiesced to every
thing that Logotheti and Nine. Anna
proposed, after putting their heads to-

Bad Stomach
Many in MarshaIItown Are Being
Thoroughly Purified by Ml-o-NA,
the Guaranteed Cure for In


If reports are authentic, people of
Marshalltown who suffer from dys-
pepsia and other stomach troubles are
getting tired Of taking preparations
containing pepsin, because pepsin Sim
ply digests the food artificially. Pep
sin relieves, it never cures-the prin-
ciple is wrong, the cart is before the
horse.
And remember, pepsin only digests
animal food; it has no effect 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 first to cleanse
and purify the stomach and bowels,
and to tone up and put energy into
the stomach walls, so that they will
be able to properly mix the food with
the natural digestive juices of the
stomach
That is just what Mf-o-na tablets
do. They quickly arouse the stomach
from it's inaction, and in a few days
it Isl able to do its work easily and
without exertion. There will be no
more sour stomach, fermentation IF
1000, ClZZlneSS, SICK IleduttSHo, DelGII-
ing of gas, specks before the eyes, or
foul breath.
Mi-o-na only costs so cents a large
box, and is guaranteed by Mcbride &
Will Drug company to cure dyspepsia,
sea or car sickness, vomiting of preg-
nancy and stomach sickness result
ing from over-indulgence Of the night
before, or money back.
