Eat a Square Meal and
Not Fear Indigestion

There are hundreds of people in Har-
fisburg who were not the least bit sur
prised when they read a while ago that
druggists are now selling Mi-o-na on
guarantee to refund the money in case
1t did not relieve. This remarkable
relieve the worst case of indigestion,
headache, dizziness, or the general
playedout condition that affiicts every
one suffering with stomach trouble.
Mi-o-na does not simply relieve, 1t aims
to cure.
There is hardly druggist but can
tell you of many well-known people in
TO health, often after they have tried
many other methods of treatment with
little or no benefit. We really believe
no other dyspepsia remedy has made so
large a percentage of cures as Mi-o-na.
1t is so large that dealers who have
sold il for years stand ready to refund
the price to any customer whom 1t does
not help.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer, and there
are hundreds to-day praising Mi-o-na
because 1t has done for them what it is
advertised to do. A few months ago
they could eat nothing without Won
dering what the result would be. Since
using Mi-o-na, they eat what they want
and when they want with no fear OF
suffering. This medicine comes in the
form of tablet and is very pleasant to
take. 1t speedily and permanently re-
lteves almost all forms of stomach trou-
BILE and is the only one sold under a
positive guarantee without any restric-
tion. tb refund the money If it does not
relieve. You can get Mi-o-na on this
basis from II. G. Kennedy or any Lead

four or five feet above the waves when
required was used in making the rock
soundings. The boat consists of twin
hulls rigidly connected over which is
laid a platform for the drilling outfit,
steam boiler, four hoisting engines
and capstans and crabs required for
handling the boat. At each corner of
the boat is a heavy spud working in
guides, and when the boat is to be.
lifted these spuds are brought to
bearing on the bottom of the lake and.
the boat is raised by means of a wire
rope system worked by four 10-horse-
power steam crabs. The raising rope
is led from the top drum of the steam
crab over sheave at the top of the
spud to a sheave on the guide and
then to an anchorage on the boat.
The spuds are kept clear of the lake
bottom when the boat is af1oat by
ropes that pass through sheaves fixed
to the bases of the spuds. These ropes
are operated by the lower drums of
the crabs, the two drums being so ad-
jGsted as to keep both ropes taut at all
times This boat has been successfully
used for pile driving as we'll as for
drilling. This unusual apparatus is
shown in several views in the October
Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Terror-D Driven.

All down that long steep hill-that
swarming street filled with it's rushing,
frantic mob-Ilingtcn fought his way
with his back and brawny shoulders.
Once, twice, he felt stealthy hand
at his hip pockets. Each time he
turned swiftly to find Ponto and Her.
nandez close at his heels. Without
warning he slipped aside into blind
alley, and let the crowd slide by like
a huge many-colored avalanche. When
he Joined the crowd again. Hernandez
and his Aztec ally Tere ahead of him
and not behind.
ITO the sea-to the sea"-the voice
of the multitude raised itself in agony.
There was but one cry-"to the sea-
let me past-make room for me-to
the sea-to the sea-"
At crazy little wharf Ilington
twitched himself and Manuella and the
child deftly 10 one side and let the
crowd plunge on.
He scanned the surface of the bay,
the fringe of shore. The bay was dot.
ted with small boats, laden to the gun
wales. The water was alive with
swimmers.

Il will be careful to take small
chance with you, friend Fonto," said
Ilington. He waved the packet to-
ward Hernandez. "All in good time,
senor," he said.
"The important question" went on
Ilington, is this: Who is in posses
sion of the lost isle of CHINA
bar? 1t belongs to me. l have the
paper title-at any rate l can obtain
1t, but whom must We eject when we
arrive?"
Leave that to me-" said Herman
dez. I'VE shall wipe them off the face

A screen door swung open and a
native woman gaudily arrayed In
green and yellow stripes, her head
bound around with a strip of orange
colored linen, slipped through the door
leading with her a tiny girl-a child
three or four years old.
The child saw Ilington and ran
tumultuously toward him, clasping his
huge leg with her arms.

ington. she is all have. Her moth
er died when she was born and when
l die she will be the heiress to the
lost isle of Cinnabar-perhaps the
princess of a principality, who knows"
Manuella, her native nurse, carried
her out into the narrow white and
winding street, and together they half
ran, half toddled down the hill.
Ilington resumed his own chair and
once more exhibited the oilskin pack
ct.
The contents of this packet-pos-
sibly-will indicate the whereabouts
of the lost isle of Cinnabar," he said.
Suppose we take a chance"
Break the seal, senor," said Her
nandez.
Ilington started to obey-but some
thing happened.

fleeing from the hunters, man-half

naked-bounded upon the veranda.
For the love of Cod" he said, in
broken French, flee for your lives.
Pelee has broken loose"
Ilington, with the oilskin packet
still in hand, sprang to the edge of
the veranda and from there into the
street. He gave one look and then
fell back.
"By George, he's right" he shouted.
"Look-look."
Anxiously he turned his gaze down
the hill. Then with a bound he was
off. In three minutes he was back
clutching his little daughter, Annette,
to his breast and dragging the frenzied
Manuella after him.
Shrieks from a thousand throats
rent the air without. Ilington glanced
into the street. His face went white.
Ashes, red-hot pieces of molten lava
were dropping in shower.
Hing ton, who had been holding
Annette, surrendered her in an instant
to Manuella. He darted into an inner
room and opened the safe. From this
safe he took canvas bag that jingled
with the gold pieces it contained. He
thrust this bag into one hip pocket of
his trousers, having already secreted
the oilskin packet in the other.
Come on" he shouted to the group
behind him. "It's death to stay here.
Come on down the hill"

The Red Death,

Capt John Hardin of the Princess
regarded the fast-receding coast line
with unusual alarm He shouted to
his mate.
'Welcher," he cried, pointing aft,
Took at that I've never seen old Pc
lee act that way before"
Welcher, the mate, surly, sallow-
faced, ill-conditioned fellow in un-
kempt uniform, followed with his eyes
the captains glance.
Gee whiz," he said, me neither"
Ben" exclaimed the captain, shes
splitting fire. By Godfrey, that means
death-death, tell you, death"
This was back in 1902. The Prin-
cess, Captain Hardins boat, was a
tramp steamer bound to New York
from the city of st. Pierre, in the
Island of Martinique, with cargo of
cocoa, coffee, sugar cane and cotton,
and had been under way probably an
hour.
You're right, captain" he returned.
"Pelee means business this trip.
Death is right"
A feminine ngure emerged from the
shadow of the afterhouse and rushed
forward toward the bridge. Behind
her, following in her wake, raced two
sturdy youngsters. One of these
youngsters darted past her, swarmed
upon the bridge and confronted the
captain and his mate.
He was Captain Hardin's boy, Neal
the only child.
The other boy was the mates son,
young Joey Welcher, sallow-faced and
disagreeable like his father.
With the roar of a thousand thun-
ders Pelee beloved forth
What are we going to do, Jack?"
cried the captains young wife; what
are we going to do?"
"Do?" returned the mate, before the
captain could reply. Put on more
steam, that's what we'll do. We're
we'll out of that hell-hole yonder. An
hour and we'd have been in the thick
of it. We're well out of it, tell you"
Captain Hardin applied his eye to
his telescope once more. The boy
upon his shoulder followed suit
"Welcher,", said the captain bravely,
we've got to go back"

The Lost Isle.


On the same day-the day Of the
red death at Martinique-and but two
short hours before the pilot put the
helm of the tramp steamer Princess
hard aport, three men sat on the YER
anda of a low-roofed, white-walled
bungalow in st. Pierre.
One of these men was Ilington, a
young American. He passed around
a box of fragrant Martinique cheroots.
He folded up some half-dozen slips OF
paper he had been examining and re.
turned them to another individual who
faced him from across the table.
"Senor Hernandez" exclaimed the
young American, for a week at least
half a hundred times-I have told
you your credentials were satisfactory
to me-"
Hernandez nodded gravely. He
thrust the papers back into a pocket
and tapped them significantly.
None could be better" he ex.
claimed grandiloquently, II am Her.
nandez-that rs all sufficient"
Suddenly the American turned and
faced the third member of the coterie.
"And what" he exclaimed, what Of
Ponto here?"
This third individual was the
strangest creature of them all. He
was a Mexican; dark, very dark; low.
browed; and-fat.
Hernandez nodded significantly.
"Ponto, senor," he returned, lis as
good as gold. He, too, IS brave"
will he do as tell him." queried
the American.
Hernandez bowed You tell me,
senor, and tell him. He will obey"
The American turned his back for
moment and Hernandez and Ponto
exchanged significant glances.
Ilington turned back to them. 1T
is agreed" he said, II will take you
on. To have brave men one must
take a chance"
Ilington crossed the veranda and
entered the living room, from there
disappearing through another door. In
a moment he was back, apparently
Suply OuCC hC DCdICu
himself and then drew from the hip
pocket of his trousers a thin oilskin
packet sealed with sealing wax. He
laid it on the table before him.
Gentlemen" he said, "I am the
owner of .he lost isle of Cinnabar.
My forefethers held the grant direct
from Spain. The lost isle of CHINA
bar is a valuable isle. Tradition has
it that upon it is located quicksilver
mine-an ancient mine but little
worked. My mission is to seek that
island, to find it and to claim it for
my own"
Where is this lost island?" queried
the Portuguese.
Ilington nodded. THE secret" he
returned, lies within this packet"
In fash Ponto's hand darted like
q black snake across tho table to
clutch the packet In it's grasp. The
American, for ell his hugeness. was
quite as agile as the fat Ponto. He
snatched the packet away Just as Pom
to's fingers touched it.

flushed suddenly. He fingered the hilt
of his knife and glanced toward Her

Diversified Farming Under Irrigation
(By l. ID. O'Donnell

Wy 1. H. ~ DOHHel
The farmer on irrigated land should
where possible. practice a system of
diversified farming. Diversified farming
naturally follows irrigation. In humid
regions you have to grow crops to con-
form to the rainfall, while by irriga-
tion you can conform your moisture
to the crops. Irrigation is naturally
more expensive. Lands cost more,
maintenance and operation charges
have to be met, besides the cost Of
distributing the water on the land.
For these reasons the farmer should
take advantage of the many benefits
that arise on the irrigated farm. He
can grow crops from early spring un-
til late fall. He can plan for early
crops. midsummer crops and late fall
crops as he has the moisture at his
control. Some crops need and do bet
ter with great amount Of moisture,
and others require very little. In a
great many cases the farmer can
grow one. two and three crops on the
same land In one season He can af-
ter an early crop of alfalfa or clover,
grow a crop Of seed; or after crop
Of early wheat or oats, he, can irrigate
