bell think Of the Firemen. II you are

ct. II you don't hear either, then put

Christmas comes at the wrong season
of the year for the newspaper man to re-
ceive gifts. If it only came when the
pumpkin shucking season was on or the
turnip threshing bees were at there
highth, or the cabbage We're swelling
their heads, then the larder of all from
the devil to the archangel might groan.
However there is way to make them all
happy and make a very acceptable
Christmas and New year offering and
that is by paying up at least delinquent
subsci ptions. 1t will ease the conscience
of the payor and relieve the drawbacks
Of the payee. Don't take our word for
it but just go down into the jeans and
try the experiment. We know our end
Of the experiment will be happy one
and we believe yours will be the same.
Just try sending this kind Of Christ
mas remembrance. There is no danger
ef overburdening us by too many doing
this graceful act. We all contemplated
having half holiday on Christmas and
New Year days, but will forego this pleas
ure in order to make out receipts for
subscription, and rejoice to do SO.

A DlSORDERED STOMACH
MEANS BAD BLOOD

Zine times in ten, stomach derange-
ments are responsible for sallow COM
dull eyes, thin body and col

1t is the stomach that supplies nour-
ishing 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, un6igested, will pass along
through the bowels, furnishing SO lit
tie nutritious matter that the blood
becomes impoverished, and the glow
be healthier and happier.
If you suffer from nervousness, sick
headache, belchinS of gas, sour taste
in the mouth, heaviness after eating,
heartburn, foul breath, or any other
miserable stomach disturbance, get
rid of it now by using Mona the
mighty cure for Indigestion, and the
sooner you get it the quicker you w..l
be healthier and happier
