A Wonderful Tonic
That Aids Digestion

Thousands are unable to digest cet-
tain kinds Of food. In most cases 1t -
not the fault Of the food, nor the stoni-
ach. It is probable that the stomach
has been abused. Many resort to pre-.
digested foods and various KINDS OF
medicines to get relief from dyspepsia,
indigestion and heartburn, but without
permanent benefit.
II your stomach was In perfect con-
dition, you would not need medicine to
digest the foods you eat. Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge is stomach regulator: IL
gets the stomach in such condition
that it will digest food without other
assistance. It overcomes the acldity
and stimulates the coating Of the
stomach and intestines SO that they
will properly absorb and assimlate the
nutriment from the food eaten. Suf-
ferers from dyspepsia and indigestion
will find permanent relief in q short
time after beginning the use of the
tonic. For children, the addition Of a
little sugar will make it most pala-
table.
Many forms Of supposed indigestion
are the result Of intestinal parasites,
for which Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is
unsurpassed. Insist upon Jayne's;. &C
cept no other Millions have praised
It for more than eighty years. Sold
by druggists everywhere. Oh. %.

VICE CRUSADE ON.
Campaign Against Owners Of Property
Only Solution.

Minneapolis, Oct %. - A sweeping
recommendation, which, if carried in
to practice, promises an effective step
toward the control of the vice problem
of Minneapolis, has just come from
the Hennepin county grand jury.
A resolution was passed urging the
city council to make some provision
by which owners of property, which
has been found to be used for immor-
al purposes, may officially be notified
Of that use, SO that in the event of
second conviction of a tenant for op-
Grating a disorderly house, the owner
may be presumed to have been aware
of the use to which his property had
been put.
The question has been under consid-
grafton by the grand Jurors for several
weeks. Under the present law. own.
ers of property are liable for the acts
Of their tenants, if their buildings are
used for immoral purposes, if it can be
shown that the owner is aware of such
use. This law has been difficult to
enforce, because of the task of prov
Ing that the owner possessed such in.

That the high cost OF living, about

The question. who first applied a cab

David Matthew. one Of the first master
mechanics Of the Mohawk & Hudson

to locomotive In tho early Dos, but no
particulars were ever given and David
had weakness for claiming TO be the
originator OF nearly all locomotive TIM
