way a ball looks when up in the air
in the smoky city and it is hard for
him to grow accustomed to the clear
atmosphere of the west. The per-

time the ball as he did in "Chi" and
when the ball hits the ground here
it is apt to pop up again, higher than
his head, instead of lying dead as it
does on the eastern ground. Mr..
Kyle has been secured to play with

A Dead Stomach.
OF What Use Is FTP

Thousands? yes hundreds Of thou
sands OF people throughout America are
taking the slow death treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stom-
ach, the best friend they have, and In
their sublime ignorance they think they
are putting aside the laws of nature.
This is no sensational statement; it Is
a startling fact, the truth Of which any
honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swal'
lowing daily huge quantities of pepsin
and other strong digesters, made espe-
cially to digest the food in the stomach
without any aid at all from the digestive
membrane Of the stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they do
more. Taken regularly for few weeks
they build up the run down stomach and
make it strong enough to digest its own
food. Then Indigestion, belching, sour
stomach and headache will 60.

Upon the Ears.

Sound Waves and tho Way They Act
Upon the Ears.
The detection Of the direction OF
sound by the sense Of hearing is. like
the rapid focusing Of the eye on OBJ
iects at different distances. one OF
those instructive operations which are
continually done without any conscious
method
Sound waves traverse the air as rip
pies stir the water. and the ear by ex-
perience acquires some slight power OF
detecting the direction In one case. MS
the eye does with far greater accuracy
in the other. Usually we unconscious
" receive assistance from other senses
as well. Often we fall to locate at
once some hidden source Of sound
such as a singing bird. and then "nr
instructive ingenuity displays Itself
The intensity of sound is. Of course
by no means so great behind screen
as in front of it. and every one carries
with him the screen Of his own head
which may prevent particular SOUND
from being heard so well by one ear
as by the other II. then. the head is
turned until this inequality disappears
and both ears hear equally well we
know that we must be directly facing
or turned from the source of sound

whereabouts generally prompts us to
