There is way for you to eat what
ever your stomach Graves. Many Will
say, "How I wish l could, but l have
tried, and every time it nearly kills
me-"
The real trouble is that people who
suffer the untold agony Of Indigestion
do not realize that the stomach has
lot cf work to perform in digestlng
the food and if crowded with extra
labor it rebels and kicks up fearful
disturbance.

disturbance or money refunded. 1t
not only increases the flow Of digest
i've juices, but surely and safely
builds up and strengthens the stonl-
ach so that what you eat is cared for
as nature intended.
It's needless for you to suffer with
INDIGESTION, heartburn, bilioUsness,
sour, gasy or upset stomach, for Mi
o-na tablets surely give prompt and
lasting relief and are perfactly harm
less.-adv.

BIRDS PLENTIFUL

Our local sportsmen report that
birds and other game are very plen-
tiful, and everybody who knows how
to shoot a gun ought not to grow
hungry for quail. doves, squirrels,
wild turkeys or deer this season. The
excessively dry weather this summer
made lots of birds, for the young ones
were not drowned out by the excess
i've rains, as in former years.
The open hunting season begins on
November goth. and great many
hunting parties are already being
planned. They will leave Ocala on
November 10Th so as to be in the
fields and in the woods at the peep of
day on Friday, the goth. A license
will be absolutely necessary, and this
precautionary bit of paper is being
taken out through the proper official
channels.
The local merchants dealing in
hunters supplies are reporting quite
active sales.

SENATOR HoKE SMITH is FOND
OF CHICKEN

Senator Hoke Smith, like most
southerners, is fond of chicken, as a
waiter on dining car bteween
Washington and Atlanta has just
learned.
The senator, on the way home from
congress, ordered a whole chicken,
southern style. with cream gravy and
all the "fixin's." He wanted it served
with hot biscuits and buttermilk, and
he wanted it to be plenty big for a
man-siZed dish.
The waiter came staggering in I'M
der a big platter, which smelled like
Thanksgiving Day. Senator Smith
took look at it and called the waiter
back.
where's the rest of that chicKen?"
he asked.
why, boss, OATS all oh HIT" re-
turned the waiter.
well, where / was raised chickens
had two WINGS" said the Georgia
man. you go back and bring that
other wing"
And that's where one waiter failed
to beat passenger.

We understand there is to be re-
vival of the citrus industry in this
section. There are already several
small groves whose owners intend to
add to them, and several of our en-
terprising citizens who are clearing
land for farming purposes, also intend
to set out groves. There is no reason
why Marion county cannot produce
oranges equal to any in the state, and
perhaps at less expense, as groves
require less fertilizer on our heavier
lands.-Dunnellon Advocate.

DR.. Trotter, the colored preacher
of Boston, did not help his race nor
himself by the temper and tone of his
remarks to the president. He said
that he took the position that the ne
groes had equal rights with the
whites, and that those rights should
be respected, and therefore objected
to any segregation of the employees
in the government offices. If the two
races are equal and the whites do not
object to the segregation why should
the negroes? Is not that bare fact
an acknowledgment of a condition
that Trotter is vehemently denying?

BETTER BABIES CONTEST ENDS

The better babies contest ended
Friday afternoon, after three days of
examining the little ones entered in
this contest. Thirty-four children
were examined Friday, making a
total in all of lightweight babies ex-
amined during the three days. The
physicians making the examinations
Friday were Doctors Lane, Dozier.
Walter and Van Hood, Peek, Counts,
Walters and Lindner, and the follow
ing dentists: DR.. r. ID. Fuller and DR..
Carlisle Izlar.
There were quite a number Of ba-
bies from out of town entered for the
last day of the contest, Mrs. Barton
and Mrs. Hester of Williston, Mrs. w.
J. Crosby and Mrs. Sparkman of Cit
ra, and Mesdames F. B. Brown, Fer
guson, Walkup, Lindsey of Mcintosh.
and Mesdames Olin and Seckinger of
Kendrick, Mrs. Walter Ray of Martel,
all being here with their babies.
These contests are a scientific med
ical examination of children under
five years of age, for physical and
mental development. The judges are
physicians who pass on the baby's
condition. Sturdy limbs, firm flesh.
steady nerves, good digestion-these,
and not pink cheeks, soft hair and
dimples, make better baby and a
prize winner. Such baby Is OF in
calculable value to parents and the
country, for a healthy, normal baby
means a healthy, desirable citizen,
and the contest this week has demon
strated that Marion county has some
very fine babies. The health depart
ment of the Woman's Club is to be
highly commended for the deep inter-
est they have taken in this work, as 1t
has been a great help to the mothers.
The prize winners in the contest
will be announced at the health meet
ing at the Woman's Club next Satur-
day afternoon. The meeting will be-
gin at three o'clock and all the moth
ers who entered their babies are in
vited to be present to hear tho re-
suits.

There il No Cause for Being

WASHINGTON, July Until the

eral Rucker said today: There is no
necessity for any community to feel

AS far as today's reports are con-

nothing more than to observe instruc-

"Some people are getting foolish no.
lions about the plague. Reports about
a concrete wall to be built around
the infected district in New Orleans
are rot. Revival of stories that cats
would be brought on large scale in

laugh. "The idea is absurd, as cats
are afraid of wharf rats"
