Women h Efn[Snd.

In Finland the meetings of sui fragettes are unknown, for already women are students in the university, clerks in the banks. in the post offices and in business houses, and they not only have their vote but can be elect ed members of the diet. Yet, accord ing to Paul Waineman in her Sum mer Tour in Finland" they are mot in the least overbearing, but are for the greater part exceedingly modest and womanlike"
 As she landed one of the recently elected members of the diet was point ed out to her; she was well dressed and young looking, with keen, deep-set eyes and a pleasant smile, and in no way resembled the grotesque carica- lures of the women members of the Finnish diet in some English jour nals."
 Even the paths of Helsingfors are scrupulously brushed every morning by regiment of barefooted women, and in this work they are employed all over the grand duchy; in fact. q mere man may well pause and wonder for what purpose he was created in Finland

FAULTLESS PRESCRIPTION
No Remedy for Stomach Distress
 and Indigestion so Perfect.

A scientific prescription for dyspep- sia put up in small tablet form and called Mi-o-na Is making thousands or quick and lasting cures throughout America.
 There is no stomach disease (even eatarrh of the stomach) that 1t IS not guaranteed to cure, and The Lee X Osgood Go. has so much faith m MI, o-na for stomach disorders of all kinds that they will refund your money if it does not cure.
 Mi-c-na, the faultless prescription, stops sour stomach, belching of gas, distress after eating, heartburn, bil- iousness and nervousness.
 IL is well worth a trial by any read- CT of The Bulletin who suffers from any stomach disturbance. It contains ingredients that not only give relief but that act on the stomach so bene- ficially that in a short time the fiabby, tired out walls of the stomach regain their strength and activity.
 Try Mi o-na for a week; misery will change to happiness; despair to hope dull eyes to be bright, and you will yourself wonder why you suffered So long with such a remarkable prescs1p- tion at hand.
 And only 50 cents for large box at leading druggists everywhere.

The second attitude is cynicism. These believe that the kingdom of will is stronger than the Kingdom of God. The third attitude is that of Christ, who said, Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden.
