Gases In Stomach Poison the Blood.
Gas forms in your stomach because
the food you eat ferments and turns
sour.
Allow this fermentation to go on and
these gases become poisonous and the
poison gets into the blood.
MI-O-NA stomach tablets stop the
fermentation almost instantly, turn the
poisonous gases into liquid, and elimi-
nate the poison mostly through the
kidneys.
II you have any stomach trouble
such as gas. sourness. htaviness, fiat
ulency, or shortness of breath, MILO

minutes.

TAFT HAS DECIDED
NOT TO INTERVENE
Makes Up Mind to Leave Mexico
Alone.
Note Sent to Madero Does Not
Threaten Him.

From the highest governmental
authority came the positive informa-
ton that the Taft administration
has no intention of intervening in
Mexico
While it is admitted that affairs
in Mexico as they affect large Ameri-
can interests are not so favorable as
they were few months ago and
that the Mexican government appar-
emily is making no Roadway in es-
tablishing peace and order, yet the
policy that has been pursued by
President Taft and Secretary OF the
State Knox will be followed to the
end of the administration.
The complicated and embarrassing
situation will be turned over to
President Wilson and his cabinet to
deal with as they see fit The atti-
tude of the Taft administration is
that if President Wilson wishes tc
send an army of pacifeation across
the border he and the Democratic
congress may do SO and take the
responsibility. President Taft and
Secretary Knox are in accord in the
opinion that conditions in Mexico dc
not justify any such radical policy

could be used to give particular

I'VE should consider It patriotic
duty to furnish sucn material, which

said:
