A POSITIVE CURE
FOR INDIGESTION

If you have Indigestion, your food
ferments in the stomach and bowels.
1t does more: II decays, and the nu-
tritlous matter which should go to
make new blood decays with it, and
this leads to an impoverished con-
dition of the blood, to nervousness,
billiousness, constipation, sick head
ache, 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 fer
ments and often rots In the stomach.
And fermentation is coused by the
stomach not being strong enough
and energetic enough to thoroughly
mix the food with the digestive juices.
MI-O-NA is responsible for tens Of
thousands of cures. In fact, 1t is such
a positive cure for indigestion and all
stomach troubles that 1t Is guaran-
teed by Tallamn & Co., to cure or
money back. The price OF n large
box Of Ml-o-na tablets Is so cents, and
they are sure to promptly relieve the
worst case OF indigestion or gastritis.
Try them.

An Old Custom.
The custom was instituted by Celia
sius in the latter part OF the fifteenth
century In many respects II resem-
bled some Of the pagan celebrations
and particularly that OF the pagan
Februalia, which was held at about
this same period.
In fact. the Candlemas day cele-
bratlon is a substitution Of the Feb
rualia which furnishes the only logi-
cal reason for the use of the candles
i'm the festivities attendant.
February has been dedicated to
the internal gods by the Gentiles be-
cause at its beginning Pluto stole
Prosperine and her mother; Ceres
sought and rescued her at night and
carried lighted candles. The Februal- I
IA celebration was in honor OF Ceres
and the cclebrants carried lighted
candles, too.
The holy fathers tried to stop the
celebration, but failed and decrecd
that which had been done unto Ceres
should be done unto the virgin. This
is how the festival came to be known
as the Publication of the Blessed
Virgin, During the Middle Ages 1t
was also a favorltc time for the cere-
mony among Christian mothers anala-
gous to the Greek presentation in the
temple.

came a reaction against the custom

 e- GO SOME STRONG
Labor Unions to be We'll Represented at Labor Day Festivities to he Held at Hot Springs. Monday. September S.

Hot Springs, Ark, Aug. 25.-A tele- gram to Secretary J. B. Scudder of the Labor Day Committee, from a man prominent in Pine Bluff labor circles states that the various unions of that city will be well represented in Hot Springs on Labor Day. Several unions have already promised strong delega- tions, among them being the follow ing:
 Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, 150; Painters, 100; Timers, 30; Carpenters 75; Owls, 250.
 MT. G. H. Hill of Pine Bluff stated that the other labor organizations and fraternal orders of Pine Bluff would wire the Labor Day Committee of Hot Springs in day or so, giving an esti- mate of the percentage of membership from their different bodies that would participate in the parade and exercises here.
 Many other Pine Bluff people will take advantage of the reduced rail- road rates and way stations will be we'll represented. An estimate of the probable number of people expected from along the route of the Pine Bluff and Western, including Benton and Pine Bluff was yesterday given at 2,0O0 and it is highly probable that the ac- tual attendance will be in excess of that number.
 Little Rock and Argenta will also be we'll represented, and way stations along the Little Rock, and Hot Springs Western will furnish delegation.
 On the whole, September G. will be a banner day for Hot Springs and local labor organizations.
