A Positive Cure For Indigestion.

If you have Indigestion, your fooc
ferments in the stomach and bowels
1t does more: it decays, and the nu,
tritious matter which should go to make
new blood decays with it, and this leads
to an impoverished condition of the
blood, to nervousness, biliousness, con-
stipation, sick headache, bad breath
which disgusts your friends, and other
disagreeable and unpleasant conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by the
food that doesn't digest, but ferments
and oftimes rots in the stomach.
And fermentation is caused by the
stomach not being strong enough and
energetic enough to thoroughly mix the
food with the digestive juices.
MONA is responsible for tens Of
thousands of cures. In fact, it is such
a positive cure for indigestion and all
stomach troubles that it is guaranteed
by the Red Cross Drug Store to cure or
money back. The price of a large box
of Mi-o-na tablets is so cents, and they
are sure to promptly relieve the worst
case of indigestion or gastritis. Try
them.

lie that hath trousers which seem
even as though they had been fash
toned for the elephant.
For great is the f~ullness thereof,
and likewise great is the emptiness
of the |fullness:
They flap about his knees, and at
his ankles they roll up even as a
scroll;
And his coat, 1t hath buttons up the
sides thereof, even unto his armpits,
And the waist is pinched in upon
him, and the tails of his coat stick
out even as a shelf;
Yea, and he weareth socks that
make a louder sound than the glass
crash in ~"Lohengrin;' and his necktie
and his handkerchief, do they not
match for hue?
And his hat, hath it not a band of
many colors, like unto the festive bar
Der pole?
And he buyeth soda water and talk
eth in a loud voice of golf, and exc
of automobiling;
And the mosquito biteth him not,
for 1t is afraid.
My son, when men speak unto thee
against the summer and tell
thee that the peekaboo and the
squintaboo hosiery is wrong,
Listen not unto them, but tell them
to be on their way and to beat it and
to s%kiddoodle.
For the summer man taketh the
badge.
Yet is he glad, for some one hath
told him hat he looketh like unto an
actor who acteth in the slapstick

And his heart is large within him.
And he studieth the thermometer

Is it not so. even as we have told

Even SO.

If the collector is to obtain anything
like a fair proportion of the 90 ODD
species he must cruise through Ma
