LEARN TO EAT
Then II Stomach Rebels You Need
Mi-O-na.

mi-N~Uds
One OF the great characteristics Of
the American people is-too rapid eat
ing. The inevitable result OF boiling
our food is indigestion with its various
forms of stomach ills.
Nothing makes life so miserable. or
interferes so widely with the useful
ness of the average American as dys-
pepsia, the result of indigestion.
The quick lunch counters. many res
taurants, and even some homes are
veritable manufacturers OF stomach
troubles.
It seems useless to say -eat slowly"
for our best physicians, and publica-
tons devoted to health, have been
making the same cry for years, yet
we don't heed their warnings.
Since we persist in defying nature,
help must be given the digestive ma
chinery, otherwise serious results will
follow
Mi-o-na Tablets are a specific for
stomach Ills. They not only attack the
food in the stomach and assist in its
digestion. but go farther, and tone up
the entire digestive tract, restoring It
to a healthy condition so that we can
eat what we want at any time without
distress.
Take Mi-o-na at the first sign OF up
set stomach. such as headache. dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, eructatiug OF sour
food, or nervousness. All the SYM
toms OF stomach distress will prompt
" disappear. indicating that the d.
gestive machinery is once more run
ming smoothly

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Gerrit Smiths Fatal Lack
Of Concentration
By Holland.

A few days after the Republican
national convention, which was held
at Philadelphia in the spring OF 1879.
adjourned after having renominated
President Grand and named Senator
Henry Wilson OF Massachusetts as The
candidate for Vice President, a little
gathering Of the friends Of Thurlow
Weed met at his house near Washing
ton square in New York city. The
call was made upon Mr.. Weed to give
him some Of the interesting details of
that convention. He was at that time
76 years Of age, had not felt equal to
attending the convention.
Among those who were called at
that time to see Mr. Weed was the
distinguished public speaker and pub
lie citizen Gerrit Smith. He had
served as a delegate to the conven-
ton and had given his warm support
to the denomination of President
Grant. Mr.. Smith did not know that
1t was through the agency of Thur
low Weed that he had been chosen a
delegate to this convention.
In the course of the convention Mr.
Weed explained to Gerrit Smith the
kind of politics he had employed to
secure the substitution of Mr. Smith
as delegate in place of another Re
publican who it was expected would
be chosen as a delegate.
Mr.. Smith was much interested and
even astonished when he heard this
explanation. Shortly after it was
made he babe Thurlow Weed good az
ternoon and departed. After Mr..
Smith went out Mr.. Weed turned to
the friends who remained with him
and said:
Il never see Gerrit Smith without
being more and more convinced that
but for one accident of politics he
would in all probability have been the
Wing candidate for President of the
| United States either in 1910 or 1913
am also more and more convinced
that if Gerrit Smith had been the can.
didate for President he surely would
have been elected. a
"A few years after the Wing party
was organized, I think two or-three
years after William II. Seward was
defeated for Governor, in 1882, Gerrii

candidate for the New York Senate by

regarded him as a young man who
possessed extraordinary qualifications
for high political Office. In the first
place, he was the owner of a large
fortune which came to him by inner
itance. In the next place, he had az
unusual gift for the kind of oratory
that sways a great mass during Z
campaign. He had a wonderful,
beautiful voice, and he was man Of
singularly attractive personal appear
ance. Furthermore, he had a certain
charm that was indescibable. but Il
is sometimes called personal magnit-
ism. He was always the friend oil
those who we're in distress. and he
was a perfect Democrat in his social
relations. He was also gifted with
great intellectual power.
Il said to Gerrit Smith, after he be-
came the Wing candidate for the
State Senate, that if he won the cleo
ton he would be rapidly advanced
and would probably be named foi
Governor of New York in the course
OF a few years.

had just one weakness, and that was
a certain instability OF purpose. He
