RELICS OF IRON ACE
DUG UP IN BRITAIN
Meare Lake Village Yields Some
Strange Finger Rings and Bone
Implements.

LONDON. Nov. 15.-Remarkable evi.
dences of the life history of the Early
! Iron Age in Britain are being brought
| to light by the excavations on the site
of the Meare Lake village. near Glas-
! tonbury, under the auspices of the
Somerset Archaeological society.
Though the existence of the lake VII
lage has been known since 1895, this is
the first season of excavation. In the
wear named a small farmer, while dig
ging a post hole, found a spindle-whorl
piece of pottery and a milestone.
This was followed up by the detection
OF number, or group OF small mounds.
Many of the relics are now in the
Taunton Castle Museum. They exemp-
lily the life history and requirements
OF the ancient Britons of the late Ger
tic period. 1872

This is true also Of the Glastonbury

At Glastonbury some fragments OF
Roman pottery were found, mat there

Commas,

The French do not. as rule, employ
inverted commas to indicate dialogue,
but they employ the dash to indicate
a change of speakers, which is just as
bad. Certainly many punctuation marks
are sadly misused or overused. Dick
ems flung unnecessary commas all over
his pages-whole battalionS of them.
Walter Patcr also employed them with
extraordinary prodigality, frequently
before the word and where the con-
junction rendered them supertluous.
Pater was also overload of the mark
OF exclamation, SO that when he drops
q Yes" into his measured style it must
needs appear as Yes But. though
the Bible does without inverted COM
mas, there IS real art in its punctua-
ton. How admirably it marks the ca
dence and helps the drama in that
great story Of the prodigal son!-Lon-
don Chronicle.

A Dead Stomach
Of What Use is it to Anyone?

Thousands: yes hundreds of thous-
ands 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 ma
ture.
This is no sensational statement; it
Is a startling fact. the truth of which
any honorable physician will not de-
ny.
These thousands of people are swal-
lowing daily large quantities of pep
sin and other strong digesters, made
especially to digest the food in the
stomach without any aid at all from
the digestive membrane of the stom-
ach.
In other words they are taking from
the stomach the work that nature in
tended it should do. and are also re-
fusing it the only chance for exercise
it has.
Mona stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed 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 go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold bv
druggists everywhere and by L. H.
Fihe, who guarantees them. 30 cents
