Your letter of few days ago was

part has been accomplished since, but
at that, in the light of experience, |
venture the statement that the sur

opment has only been scratched. One

predicted it time and again. 1t was
this belief of mine that prompted
years of negotiations with the captains
of finance in order to interest them in
the development of the mineral re-
sources of the Chickasaw Nation.

feet of recalling to mind my old and
valued friends, not that | had forgot

The legislation contemplated at
that time was the approval of several
leases by the congress OF the United
States, which, if accomplished would
have meant the development of oil
and other minerals, at that time, in

There were just two reasons why |
failed in securing needed legislation.
The first and real reason was my lack
of cash to play table stakes" Had [
been able and inclined to do this, the
second reason, lack of brains to COM

could have been easy side-tracked.

skeptical as to this statement of mine.

OF its work for It, This is fine for a time
put as every chronic dyspeptic knows,
artificial digesters soon lose their eff
cheney. Where one once did the trick
three or four are now required and the
poor old stomach itself is worse off than
ever.
Your stomach must be strong enough
to expand and contract with sort Of
gestive. juices with your food. If your
stomach isn't strong enough to properly
churn your food. you will keep right on
having indigestion after every meal until
you make it strong
There is one Stomach remedy that
every dyspeptic can depend on as surely
as that the sun will rise tomorrow and
that the sun will rise tomorrow and that
Is the famous old MI-O-NA Stomach

utes and does still better by making
the fiabby, inflamed and inactive stom-
acn walis grow strong and elastic and
able to do their own churning. Mi-o-na
tablets never lose their effect and unlike
mere artificial digesters need not be
used forever. A few weeks use is gem
really sufficient to put any stomach in
