Indigestion.
Relief in Five Minutes and Perma-
 nent Cure or Money Back.

When Anders Jacobsen states that he has a remedy that is guaranteed to cure any man or woman who suffers from food fermentation which causes belching, sour stomach, gas eructa- tions, heartburn and that lump of lead feeling in the abdomen or money back, what are the poor stomach sufferers in Stafford Springs and vicinity going to do about 1t?
 The name of this most remarkable stomach prescription is Mi-o.na. Most people call them Mi-o-na stom- ach tablets because they know that there is no remedy so good for indi- gestion or stomach disorders. Here is one opinion: .''I have been troubled with indigestion for more than a year. bought one box of Mi.o-na and it. cured me. Now, 1 would not be without a box in the house for $50. co. It saves a lot of doctors bills when you cam be cured for 50 cents.
 You can use my name if you want to. "-Arthur SedeIquest, 6 Nichols street, Wakefield, Mass. Nov. 2, 1909.

 Now we are going to close. this little trip with view of several pictures on the balcony of the beauti ful staircase which are causing breath less wonderment in all who see them. There is one called "The Spirit of the Falls. {" moonlight marine view, a copy of the famous "Duchtss of Devonshire'' by the great Gainsboro, and three beautiful dogs called Unity" People who look at them, without noting the cards say "What beautiful paintingsi" But as mat ter of fact these are embroiderie 8, done in an almost infinite number of, oolols of embroidery silks The more you look at them the more the wonder grows.

ITs YoUR KIDNEYS.

Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your Trou-
 bles. A Stafford Springs citisen
 Shows How to Cure Them.
 Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from e lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only . muscular weakuess; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And SO it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease The best remedy to use is DOau's Kidney Pills. .It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Stafford Springs people testify to permanent cures.
 Napoleon Billodeau, Main street Stafford Springs, Conn, says: "I suffered from dull headaches for . long time, especially at night. When I arose in the morning was tired and languid.

 hat are little short of marvellous as
 pieces of human handy work Roses. spirea, lilacs, English daisies, lilies of valley, orchids, and a score more are displayed, and if the case, almost as it stands, was transported to some florists window. passers would be arrt sted by it's unusual lavishntss, while probably not one in a hundred would suspect that the flowers and foliage were not natural.
 Right here let us speak of the special display on the first floor, near the entrance, of oorssge bouquets Nothing of it's kind has ever been seen hereabouts As we stood at the counter yesterday we heard lady say, pointing to great bunch of English violets at the back of the case: ''Those smell deliciously fragrant. I suppose you keep this oatnral bouquet for it's odor so as to finish your counter 7 And the sales lady replied with a smile: These are artificial also, and the perfume is artificial as well.'' The customer was as delighted ss if she had not been deceived, and she had good reason to be. There are daffodils, jorquils, hyaoinths. single and double violets, many varieties of roses, and orchids of the most tropic beauty, with masses of lily of they valley and other delicate flowers There is not one which would not completely de- ceive a casual observer, and indeed deceive almost any body.
 1Such are the materials that are dis played on the hats in the millinery depar artment This is most attractive room, especially in it's arrangement, and one is impressed with not only the business-like air of the clerks, but with the air of expertness and refinement which they convey. It might be said that this is character istic of the whole store The sales force takes a quite evident personal interest in it's work. wherever you find it.
 On the top floor is that dainty little Baby land' room of which we have often spoken. It never loses it's charm. Every girl and mother who sees it is drawn into it to admire it's pretty clothes for little folks and the odd toys and ornaments which abound The whole floor, together with this room, is given to the interests of chil iren and misses and their garments are beautifully displayed, On the 7oor below is the millinery depart

GUN COTTON.
A Peculiar Characteristic of This Ter.
 ribIe Explosive.

A Peculiar Characteristic of This Ter. Fibls Explosive.
 Many and odd are the materials en- tertng into the manufacture of modern explosiveas but perhaps the most inter esting of all these clements of destruc- ti0n As well as the simplest is gun cot ton, The gun cotton manufacturing in- duSfTy is large, as enormous quantities are used in the charging of torpedoes and for similar purposes.
 The base of gun cotton is pure raw cotton or even cotton waste, such as is used to.clean machinery. This is steep ed in a solution of one part of nitric and three parts of sulphuric acid. It is the former ingredient that renders the mass explosive. the sulphuric acid be- ing used merely to absorb all moisture. thus permitting the nitric acid to com-I bine more readily with the celIulose Of the cotton.
 After being soaked for several hours in the solution described the cotton is passed between rollers to expe all nonabsOrbed acid, process carried to completion by washing the cotton in clear water. This washing process is a long one, requiring machinery which reduces the cotton to mass resem- bling paper pulp. Should any nonab- .sorbed acid be allowed to remain 1t would decompose the cotton. If the explosive is to be used after the manner of powder 1t ias stflI fur ther pulverized and then Thoroughly dried. 1ut if intended for torpedoes 1t fs pressed into cakes of various shapes and sizes- disk shaped, cylindrical, fat squares and cubes. When not com pressed gun cotton Is very light, as light as ordinary batting.
 A peculiar characteristic of this ter Hible explosive is that a brick of 1t when wet may be placed on a bed of hot coals, and as the moisture dries out the cotton will flake and burn quietly. If dry originally. however, the gun cot ton will explode with terrible force at about 32O degrees of heat.
 In general it is the custom to ex- plode gun cotton by detonation or an intense shock instead of by heat. In torpedo the explosive charge is wet, this wet cotton being exploded by means of dry cotton in a tube, this having been fired by cap of fulnli- nate of mercury, the cap itself having been fired by the impact of the torpedo against the target Harperes weekly.

ment of which we have spoken, and one story down. on the second floor, Is the great suit room whioh has so much distinctive attraction.
 This seasons suits as shown here are characterized by simple. strong, .mannisl1 lines, the sanics being much in evidence, braid being freely used. of the same color as the fabrics, and the suit oolors are in soft. pastel shades in indesrribable variations which produce 8 quiet glow that is exceedingly satisfactory. There a @ touches of color in the biaid -tIimmo d collars and cuffs. and here and there ieweled buttons, but everything is in psrfect harmony. There are almost no contrasts that we could begin to call naked, not to say s,riking. In the more conservative there are warm grays and mode shades in states, and right here mention ought to be male of the special care given to the stock of out.sizss in these staple oolorings which never fail in their quiet, artistic meyit. One sees some heauti ful long coats in pongee and similar materials which are at .once orna mental and thoroughly practical.
 Stepping down the great staircase with it's cases of beautiful evening dresses one locks down the broad aisles on the main fl TOT, and the de- partment of silks and wool dress goods catches the eye. This is not only a large display. but is one of the finest examples of oJlor arrangement in beau. tiful gradations from fabric to fabric shat we have ever seen.
