ARE YOU GUILTY
Do You Smoke too Much, Drink
too Much, Eat too Much7

1t takes mighty good stomach to feel
ready for a good breakfast the morning
after the banquet or social session.
"What do you want for breakfast?'
inquired Browns good wife.
"Just pleasant smile and breath of
fresh air." answered Brown the morn
ing after an important meeting at the
lodge.
If you eat, smoke or drink too much
al ways remember that two little MI ONA
stomach tablets taken just before you go
to bed will destroy all poisonous gases
and leave you with sweet, clean stom-
ach in the morning.
For Indigestion and all stomach dis
tress, MI ONA is the best prescription in
he world. w. H. Sheldon sells it on

New York, Aug. 2.-Duns Review to-
morrow will say:
Trade expansion contrasts with specu-
lative dullness. Inasmuch as the IN
creased Industrial and mercantile opera
tions involve larger demands for money
while requirements In connection with
moving the crops will also be heavy. 1t
Is on the whole. fortunate that there
is no great speculative activity to add TO
the burdens of the money market, whicn
is giving signs of an advancing tendency.
The Industrial and trade situation is thus
in advance of the speculative securities
market, but the sluggishness Of the latter
is not an indication Of suspicion as TO
the reality and permanence of the FORM
err The crop situation. upon which ma
tional prosperity so largely depends, Is
in an eminently satisfactory position.
Some uncertainty still exists as to cot
ton, as is evidenced by the wide fuc-
tuations in the market for cotton op-
tions, but the latest news shows i'm
provement in the Eastern cotton section,
with lack Of moisture again reported in
the Southwest. notably Texas. The grain
crops are in a very promising condition.
The great prosperity of the iron and steel
industry is steadily maintained in all
its important branches: and the rail-
roads, already in possession of a traf-
fic, as indicated by gross earnings in
the three weeks Of July, "a per cent
larger than last year. are preparing for
a still larger business by liberal arrange
ments for rails and equipment on a scale
in excess of most former years. A mid
summer lull prevails in merchandising
in dry goods. yet many orders are COM
ing in for future delivery. The shoe
trade also maintains recent improvement.
The general advancing tendencies of the
business situation are strikingly indicated
by bank clearings for July. which show
gains Of IA per cent over, 1911. and of 90
per cent over 1910, and these gains are
well distributed over the different sec
tions of the country. a proof that busi-
ness improvement is national in scope

TALK WITH A
DUMB MAN.
An Expert ManIpuIates His Fingers
In the Lobby of
keokuk Ho-
DR.. BARR ENJOYS JOKE
The Talk Suddenly Ceases When the
Voice Of Supposed
Dumb Man Is
Heard.
DR.. BARR ENJOYS JOKE

The many friends OF Or. G. Walter
Barr sincerely sympathize with him
while suffering from temporary
throat affection depriving him temper
arily of the power of speech. Some
We're disposed to treat the matter as
joke. But it was like the old and
oft repeated story of what is fun for
the boys is death to the frogs
Doctor Barr may have smiled at
the alleged humor. but 1t must have
been painful to him. Anyhow. 1t was
no joke.
There was little incident occurred
at the Hotel Keokuk yesterday morn
ing which sis a tale extremely apro-
pos now that the trouble is all over
and the doctor is himself again
DIR. Barr is familiar figure in the
hotel where he spends considerable of
his leisure time. meeting acauaint-
ances and friends and oftentimes
reading magazine. During the time
of his throat affliction gentleman
noticed the absence of DR.. Bars
voice and of his friends making a play
OF talking to him on their fingers as
liz TO a regular deaf and dumb man.
The doctor took this so pleasantly
| that the gentleman was interested in
| the geniality, good humor and enter
tanning qualities of the supposed dumb
man, In fact he became much in
tterested in the peculiar characteristics
fx>f L., x,ylr
! So yesterday morning the gentle
man was rather lonesome and strolled
about the lobby as the sprinkle OF
rain came down. There were very
few In the lobby at the time and those
! who were present did not appear in a
Ihumor to amuse or entertain anybody
else. So the time was dragging heav
lily Presently the street door of tbs
lobby swung open and DIR. Barr en-
tered leisurely. 1t appeared to be ont
of his off moments when he was no
almost too busy to live comfortably
The gentleman had never had thu
pleasure of an acquaintance with DIR
Barr. the supposed Jolly dumb mar
and he was pleased to see him. He
must rake up an acquaintance Il
break the hour OF dullness. With al
the hlandness of a Chauncey DepeN
he met DR.. Barr. extending his hant
with the kindliest smile. The hand
shaking over. the bland stranger be
gan to manipulate his fingers like al
4 expert. He told in this mute lang
uage about having son so unfor
tunate as to be yoiceless. He was
good. intelligent boy and would hav,
made his mark in the world if HI
only possessed the power of speech
He closed up by lamenting the mis-
fortune of his boy.
81 That's too bad. TOO bad was Dr.
Bars reply in a stronger and firme
voice than usual
20. the devil. exclaimed the strans
er as he fastened 10 the elevator t,
seek his room.
