OF the witnesses. Regarding the mat
ter he says:
There is no statute law in Mis-
souri, regarding the speed of trains,
but under our laws, villages, towns
and cities can pass reasonable ordi-
nances regulating the speed of
trains running within their corporate
limits. Arbela has never passed such
ordinance.
In reference to what the jury
meant in regard to that part of their
verdict, which said From the evil
dence produced, we are of the opinion
that the accident would not have oc-
CURED had the train run in town at
proper speed
II suppose the jury meant one of
the following things: First: If the
train had run into town faster than
it did it would have beat the chill
dren to the crossing, and avoided the
accident, or second: If the train
had run into town slower than it did,
the children would have beaten it to
the crossing, and avoided the acct
dent
With the same reasoning, the
jury could have said, IF the girls
had been running at proper speed
the accident would not have occur

SOUR. STOMACH IS A
SIGN OF INDIGESTION

If you occasionally have a taste of
sour food in your mouth, it surely
shows that the food you are taking
into your stomach is not being di-
gested, but instead, is fermenting and
giving out poisonous gases.
Belching of gas is common symp-
tom at such times, and also that lump
of lead feeling, as if your stomach
was carrying a much greater load
than 1t could stand
These are sure symptoms of indi-
gestion, and should be attended to at
once.
If you want prompt relief and per-
manent cure, go to Wilkinson & Co.
and get a large tin box of Mona tab
lets for so cents.
