The state OF Mississippi is not setting
an illustrious example to the general
public in the matter of mule raising. nl
though that is fault attributable to a
system. rather than to individuals or
officials. II is n fact, and has been so
demonstrated, that mules can be- raised
in the state, and at less than they can
be purchased for In Missouri, Kentucky
or Tennessee, but, like improved cultured
methods which will enable every farmer
to live at home IL they are properly fol
lowed, the business must first be started
and must be Incorporated as feature
Of industrial economy. 49,.

HOW JAPAN's BIG ARMY WAS
CREATED.
The conversation here turned to the
organization Of the Japanese army
which, was largely performed by Prince
Namagata, And i asked him 20 tell me
something as TO how II was done. He
replied:
In the feudal times the imperial
army consisted of about 400 600 famil-
les OF Shizuoka, or the followers Of the
daimyos, who were the feudal lords.
Each daimyO kept as many retainers
as his finances would permit and, al
lowing two or three men 70 the family.
the army OF that day had possibly as
many as one million men. This in
cluded not only the soldiers but the
surgeons, treasurers and other officials.
II was I'm 1871 that the system OF con-
scriptiOn was introduced and the re-
organization Of the army began. II
was first started in a few provinces.
and thence extended throughout the
empire. The imperial scheme was TO
organize a standing army OF 400 600
men. comprising six army corps. This
was found impossible at the start. and
"a small army of 10000 was created.
That was about 1873. At that time
French officers We're brought In 90

cided that the German system was
better suited 60 our needs We then
introduced German officers, and our

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Bad Stomach Causes Unsightly Com
plcxions. Druggists Have a Remedy.

Bad stomachs mean bad blood; bad
blood means sallow, unattractive skin.
Why? The stomach in a healthy
condition separates the nutritious
matter from the food and gives it to
the blood to supply the entire body
with nourishment.
If the stomach is not in healthy
condition 1t does not separate from
the food the nutritious matter and 1t
passes off with the waste.
Thus the blood is impoverished and
has not sufficient nourishment to sup
ply the muscles, skin and body gen.
orally.
If you have belching of gas, distress
after eating, nausea. biliousness, ner-
vousness or foul breath. then your
stomach is wrong and you want the
best prescription for stomach troubles
the world has ever known.
You want Mi-o-na tablets, the great
stomach remedy which are guaranteed
to cure indigestion. no matter of how
long standing, or money back.
