Try The MOney.BaCk Cure For
INDIGESTION.

Nine times in ten stomach derange-
ments are responsible for sallow COM
plexion, dull eyes and thin body.
1t is the stomach that supplies
nonrishing blood to the muscles. the
nerves, and skin. If the stomach is
healthy, plenty of nutritious matter
will be absorbed by the blood. If it is
not healthy, the food will ferment, and
undigested, will pass elong through tine
bowels, furnishing SO little nutritious
matter that the blood becomes inn
poverished, and the glow of health
vanlshes.
If you suffer from nervousness, sick
headache, belching of gas, sour taste
in the mouth, heaviness after eating, or
any other miserable stomach disturbance
you need Mi.o-na, and the sooner you
get it the quicker YOU will be healthier
and happier

VIII Install Twenty-Five Paper Presses In
Various Government POStOfficeS.

The Little Giant Hay Press Co.. of
this CITY. are meeting with wonderful
success in the sale of their paper press.
Through mail order system the press
has already been placed in hundreds
of business houses all over the United
States. last month alone lao of these
machines which sell for $50 each.
we're sold and delivered TO customers
scattered throughout the length and
breadth of the land. As our readers
well know the machine converts what
would otherwise be waste into a
source of revenue, and sometime
since. when in Washington. Mr.
Wilson secured an interview with the
first assistant postmaster general and
placed before him the merits of the
machine, and estimate of the revenue
that could be derived by installing one
in each of the larger postoffices of the
country AS result of Mr.. Wilson S
efforts,a list of fifty Offices will be
submitted to the department, out of
which the government will select
twenty FIVE. in each of which q
machine will be placed. If the press
proves winner financially in these
offices. a result. which only depends
upon the amount of waste paper that
accumulates in the Offices where the
press is installed, the COVER nment
will add one paper press to the equip
ment of all postoffices in cities where
the office accumulates refuse paper in
sufficient quantity to make it paw.
There are thousands of postoffices in
the United States where paper
press would not only prove matter
of convenience In disposing of refuse,
but source of revenue as well. and
the management of the Lite Giant
Hay Press Co. are willing to help the
United States to source of revenue
to the extent of installing their paper
press in such offices as the govern
ment NAV designate.
The company now has fifteen people
in its pay roll That its business is
growing is evident. and the citizens
of Alma wish the company success.
and hope the dav is not far distant
when it will be necessary for them to
increase the number on their pay roll
four fold.
