SUFFERING ENDED.
S. [. Raines Sells the Remedy that Cured
Stomach Trouble of IA Years.

And best of all S. L.. Raines guaran-
tees it to cure you or money back. Read
this:
II have been a great sufferer for Ia
years, everything ate gave me heart
burn. l have never been able to get
anything that would give me any relief
until a friend of mine insisted on my
taking Mona. l took a 50-cent box
and believe l am entirely we]l."-F.
M. Bryant, Newman, Ga, June 9TH.
Mona is not a nostrum; it is the
prescription of a celebrated physician
who is a specialist in stomach diseases.
One clever woman calls Mi-o-na the
Sunshine Prescription, because it
changed her from a miserable nervous
dyspeptic into a bright, healthy, happy
woman in a few weeks.
These little Mi-o-na tablets are sure
ly wonder workers. They absolutely
cure Indigestion whether acute or
chronic.
They stop belching, gas in stomach,
and heaviness, in a few minutes. Dis
tress after eating vanishes as if by
magic when one or two little Mi-o-na
tablets are swallowed.
Only so cents a box at leading drug
gists everywhere, and in Greenwood by

for Alabama Game Saturday.

AS Saturday grows nearer interest in
the Observation-Disclosures football game,
to be played at jackson that day, be-
comes greater. The members of the
team are working hard each afternoon
and at night they attend football talks
where the finer points Of the game IRE
discussed. The students assemble each
night and rehearse Mississippi yells
and songs to be used in Jackson. Down
to Jackson and down with Alabama il
the cry and the stndent bedy will be
here to back the team.
Mississippi's first football schedule
played in 1893 included Alabama, and
since then the two universities have
had several gridiron battles Fortune
has varied, but Alabama has gotten
somewhat the better Of it, especially in
the last few games. The following are
the ore Al far as r obtain.ble:
1893-Mississippi 6. Alabama 0.
1S94-Mississippi 6, Alabama O.
1899-Mississippi 5, Alabama Z.
1900-Mississippi s, Alabama II.
1901-Mississippi O, Alabama 45.
19O7-Mississippi 0, Alabama 20.
Last season the two teams did not
meet, but the 20 to 0 defeat Of 1907 is
still remembered here and it is felt
that the time has come for turning. the
tables. 1t is recognized that Alabama
is strong this year. but supporters Of

WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR
Reporters Seemingly SuperfIuous
Question as to Happenings at
Cabinet Meetings.

Postmaster General Meyer is of a
serious turn of mind, but he has bit
of hunor In his makeup, nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet, he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
"Mr. Postmaster General, can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings?"
There really is nothing to say" re-
piled the cabinet officer. I'VE dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
lance"
do you mean to say you did not
discuss politics?" the newspaper man
queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter. When he recovered his us
ual serenity he said:
do you suppose we were all muz-
zled?"

Nor was this the only scientific dis

galley whose hold became full of wa

of the time it was well-nigh impos-
sible to bail it. He appealed to Arch
imedes. The latter planned out wa
ter-tight cylinder, which should run
from the bottom of the bold to the
upper air. Inside this cylinder he
arranged long, spiral, close-fitting
screw, air tight, and twisted by a
crank from above. By turning this
screw the water was of course drawn
up from the hold through the cylinder.
In mathematics Archimedes excelled
all men of his century. He worked out
the mutual relations between sphere
and cylinder and the measurement Of

his various discoveries and inventions

mechanics, mathematics and physics

Those were the days of Greek de-
cadence. Marcellus, the Roman gen.
eral, besieged Syracuse. Archimedes
at once turned his talents to account
in devising catapults and other war
engines that worked havoc on the in

In such a way as to set fire once to
the attacking Roman fleet.
Marcellus, like all the world, re-
garded Archimedes with reverential
awe. He gave strict orders that, in
case the city should be captured,
Archimedes and all his property were
to be spared. But when, in PIP B. c.,
the Romans, after a three years
siege. stromed Syracuse, Archimedes
fell victim to his own absent-minded-
ness.
The victorious soldiers, rushing
through the city, came upon man.

AS the soldiers ran up he cried warn.

The next instant half dozen spear
points passed through his body.
