BUSY BUSINESS MEN
Science Helps Them Out After Reck-
lessly Abusing the stomach.

The most reckless man in regard
to health is the busy business man.
At noon he rushes out for bite to
eat. He bolts his food without proper
mastication, and heaps on his stom-
ach an extra burden greater than II
is able to carry without breaking
down.
His overworked stomach Is crying
for help; 1t appeals to him for relief
in various ways: Expulsion Of sour
gas; waterbrash, sour taste in mouth;
heaviness after eating; shortness OF
breath; bad breath, etc.
One Ml-o-na tablet taken with OF
after each meal will help any sufferer
from dyspepsia wonderfully. 1t aids
the stomach in the work Of digestion
which II must perform.
Mi-o-na tablets are sold by Gil
bert's drug store at SO cents a large
box, with a rigid guarantee to cure
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles
or money back. They make eating a
pleasure.
Mi-o-na cleanses and purifies the
stomach and bowels and puts vigor
and strength into the overworked It's
sues, 1t is the surest stomach tonic
in the world. M
Mi-o-na is sold b,' leading drug
gists everywhere.

lay down our arms IN the face OF
wrongs. That can never be. Men
spoke at that peace conference, whose
methods OF business and conduct of
life are conducive to friction and con-
tinuous industrial warfare. Peace
must win her final victory in the
hearts OF all the people of all the
world. There Is the theater OF action,
and until the heart is at peace the
militant spirit will predominate. The
cost OF war is one thing to be con-
sidered, and seems to the principal
thought OF some Of the speakers, but
no nation bent on war has ever yet
stopped to count the cost. and when
there is righteous cause to fight,
may we never be gross enough to do
that. VI ..AAA

PEACE.

We all agree that thing Is right
or 1t is wrong. Then we organize an
association to promote It or dis
courage II. Those. who attend and
speak, are a little company unto
themselves, and all the rest of man
kind to be reformed. Those. who do
not 90, lift the shoulders or the eye
brows. according to the latitude and
longitude OF their nativity, and re-
mark that-as long as human nature
remains as II u.s. etc, etc. referring
TO human nafufe as quality pos
sessed by AL mankind. saving and ex-
cepting The speaker himself.
Bye and bye. though, the effect OF
the organization and the speeches
and the published stories of the meet
ings begin TO take root in the human
heart. Instead OF laughing at the
congress- and the speakers, those
who dc not attend begin to express
In their own language the thoughts
pronounced at the meetings, and
then the work is done. Human ma
ture hasn't been changed, but the at
titude OF the individual has been
altered.
The peace conference Is In session
at Chicago. We all agree that war is
a bad and cruel thing. We all de-
plore its necessity, nav, some of us
are coming to the belief. that II is
not a necessary thing, save in so far
as man is not entirely civilized. Bye
and bye, as individuals. we will begin,
when a casus belli arises, to echo in
hearts and with our lips the senti-
ment expressed at the peace confer
ence. and then peace will have won
her victory.
The more civilized nations already
have undertaken the policing of the
rest OF the world. That in measure
is necessary, but the spirit and pur-
pose of IL in some cases could be i'm
proved. There have been what seemed
10 be righteous wars in the past but
they were all made necessary by the
undeyeloped condition Of mankind.
One way to win peace is for every-
body to talk peace. Another way is
for everybody TO do right. There are
pretended advocates OF peace, who
really want only to be left alone.
As long as there Is a militant wrong
In the world there will be militant
right to overcome It, Let no fear
