A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is II?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thousands OF
people throughout America are taking the
slow death treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stomach, 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 start
ling fact, the truth of which any honorable
physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swallowing
daily huge quantities of pepsin and other
strong digesters, made especially 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 distressed
stomach in five minutes; they do more. Taken
regularly for a 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.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by drug
gists everywhere and by A. A. Howes & Co.,
who guarantee them. 50 cents box.

A metropolitan newspaper denounces
men high up in political Office, or coun-
try weekly prints something about the
wrong doing in office of an Insignificant
selectman, and instantly there is indigna-
ton expressed at personal animosities,
etc. If the position of the newspapers
is sound and just they have rendered the
public service, even though the public
does not discern it, for the fact remains
that wrong done the public is a serious
matter, however you may regard it, and
he who commits such wrong should be
the last one to vince if he and his i'm

He should have thought of that when

THAT WICOMICO
NATURAL GAS
Professor Clark Says it is
Not Apt to Prove Of
Commercial Value

SALISBURY, Nd. Aug. 25.-Askcd
his opinion OF the appearance of nat
ural gas near Salisbury, Professor
William Bullock Clark state geologist,
says:
There is nothing remarkable in
the discovery of natural gas i'm small
amounts i'm the tidewater portions OF
the Atlantic and Gulf borders. In
Texas and Louisiana under somewhat
similar but more favorable conditions
both gas and oil have been found in
large amounts. Along the Atlantic
border. however, it is very doubtful
whether either gas or oil will ever
be found In sufficient quantities to
prove Of much commercial value.
This territory has been drilled at
so many points, from New Jersey
southwark to the Carolinas, for ar
tesian waters, without discovering
any considerable reservoir of either
gas or oil. that the chances of such
discovery are poor. Furthermore, the
materials making up the geological
formations of this area, being for the
most part sand and sandy clay. are
unsuited to provide the impervious
roof and floor required to hold the
gas ana OH IN any considerable quaint
tiles even when formed.
Destructive distillation Of the
organic remains entombed in greater
or less quantities in nearly all de-
posits, when laid down, is supposed
to be the cause of the oil and gas.
but unless the impervious roof and
floor are provided for the reservoir
they become readily dissipated. as
has evidently been the cause I'm our
Atlantic tidewater country.
Il should. therefore, be greatly sur
prised If either gas OF oil were found
on the Eastern Shore in large quanti-
ties"
N To which the suggestion was added
Z by a citizen to-day that II there were
= oil or gas in large quantities some
great trust would have pre-empted
the territory a long time ago.
