HOME ENDORSEMENT
Hundreds of Leon Citizens Can Tell
You All About 1t.

Home endorsement, the public ex-
preston of Leon people, should be
evidence beyond dispute for every
Leon reader. Surely the experience
of friends and neignbors, cheerfully
given by them, will carry more weigh
than the utterances of strangers re-
siding in faraway places. Read the
following:

Pills, for I know from personal ex-
perience that they are good kidney

The doctor told me it was acute in
digestion and l could not be cured.
Since that time I have suffered very

even light food, as soft boiled eggs,
would distress me. I lost fifteen
pounds. Sometimes l felt that |
could not live another day. A month
ago l got a box of MI-O-NA tablets.
Before l had used them week l
was better. l have used two boxes

went on strike here today, and
$4,000 more are expected to go

Ninety per cent of New York's
laundries are closed and all prob

The strikers demand a 10-hour
day, an increase in wages averag-
ing ID per cent and better sani-
<ary conditions, protected dressing
rooms, protected machinery and
adherence to the child labor law
which, they claim, is being flag
rantly violated. About two mill
lion persons who depend upon the
laundries for their personal and
household work will be affected.
Thousands of poorly clad, I'M
derpaid girl strikers today are do
ing picket duty. Strike breakers
so far have had no trouble, the
majority needing the pleas of the
girls to go away.

plants have gone out in sympathy

CHICAGO, Jan. forecasts
Cox here today felt an earthquake
which sent a slight tremor through
Chicago at 1921 o'clock this
morning. 1t was an east and west
vibration and lasted only q couple
of seconds.
Many persons at first thought
an explosion had occurred. Doors
of houses and building were jam
med. China toppled from pedes-
tails and water bottles on restaur-
ant tables rocked while chande-
liers threatened to come down.
At Joliet several buildings rock-
ed on their foundations, threaten
ing to collapse and greatly alarm
ed the inhabitants.
The quake was also felt at De-
kalo, Aurora, Lockport, Yorkville.
Mendoza, Sandwich, Waukegan,
Madison, Wis, Washington, d. c.,
and generally in the east. No
damage is reported.
