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
eliminates the poison mostly through
the Kidneys.
If you have any stomach trouble
such as gas. sourness, heaviness, fiat
ulency, or shortness of breath, Mo
MA will give gratifying relief in five
minutes

IN TOWN OF WEsTcHESTER
Brother and Sister Accused of Incest
Investigation as to Sanity.

On Tuesday night State Policeman
William e. jackson Of Willlmantic
and Thomas F. Downing of Hartford
with Sheriff Casey, went to the home
of William Jones and his sister,
Phoebe Jones, at Westchester, a part
of Colchester. and took them to the

where there are only two rooms, and
that besides the two persons named
the aged mother of the couple lived
in the two rooms, and also q boy,
aged 3 years. and it is claimed that
the brother and sister are the parents
of the boy and that they had another
child and it died.
The state police found the house
reeking with filth. A bulldog was
chained in the bed. There was but
little food found in the place. The
selectmen of the town have cared for
the aged Mrs. Jones and the child.
The house in which they live is some
distance from any other habitatlon,
and part of it is occupied by an
other family.
Lawyer Shields desired to have DR..
Pollock examine the couple as TO their
sanity. The doctor talked with the
accused couple and then with States
Attorney Hull and Lawyer Shields re-
tired for consultation. Later Major
Hull conferred with Judge Wheeler,
The man is "A and the woman 80.
Both stutter SO that it is difficult to
understand what they say.

TURKS ENJOY HORSE RACING
First Event Of the Kind at Constan-

An enormous and motley crowd
gathered on the beautiful plain OF
Vcli-Effendi, on the shores OF the

races of the Ottoman metropolis. The
day was magnificent. the weather
propitIous and the people at the
height OF their festive mood. The
Moslcms had never seen horse races
before. To them II was In every way
n new spectacle. and to all II WIS
real sign OF advancing times.
Among tho many thousands OF
spectators women predominated.
Hours before the show they zane
from every quarter with baskets OF
provisions intending to spend the
whole day In gazing Mt any chatting
over the events OF the day. The
groups o; Turkish ''hamouns" In
their bright. multi-colorcd tchars'
hats. !eredjehs and yashmaks were
picturesque In the heighcst degree.
The ladies OF the imperial harcm
watched the races from their car
riagcs. The sultan was fatigucd and
did not attend aud his absence was u
great disappointment to performers
and spectators alike. Many of the
diplomatic body were present on spc-
cially constructed platforms and
large numbers OF the most elegant
clements OF the European quarter
also attended.
There were six races, and the
highest prize. 100 Turkish liras. was
won by Lieut.. Djelal Effendt- a
smart officer who rode n bcautifut
Arab horse. Zip-Zip. There was also
n steepleehase, in which only two Of
Ulcers participated. and Rushdi-Bey
proved the winner.
