A SAFE WAY TO STOP INDIGES-
TON

The greatest folly of today is COM
mitted by people with weak dyspeptic
stomachs who take artificial digesters
to cure indigestion.
Your stomach must itself be strong
enough to expand and contract with
a sort of churning movement so as to
mix its digestive juices with your food.
If your stomach isn't strong enough to
do this you will keep right on having
indigestion and every artificial digest
er you use will make your stomach
weaker
Their is one stomach remedy that
every dyspeptic can depend on and
that is the famous old MI-O-NA Sto-
mach Tablets. Most stomach remedies
let the stomach rest and digest the
food themselves. MI-O-NA succeeds
by strengthening and stimulating the
stomach and making il do its own di-
costing. II stops stomach pains, gas
bloating, buring. belching, etc, in ten
minutes and does still better by max
ing the fiabby, infamed and inactive
stomach walls 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 generally sufficient 10 put
any stomach in fine shape and Chas.
Rhodes and many other leading drug
gists hereabouts sell il with that UNI
derstanding, agreeing to refund money
20 any one who does not get complete
relief. ADJ.

four states composing the second Hague
conference O90O, was Endorsed by the In

Britain and Germany. II has been ex-
haustively studied at four annual con-
ferences OF the American Society For Ju-

and by foreign governments and publ
cists. The suggestion has also met with
the approval OF state legislatures in the
United States, OF leading chambers OF
commerce and of representative religious
bodies. Indeed. it is approved by thought
ful men everywhere
Practical men dislike TO go on talking
about projects when their desirability and
practcability have been demonstrated
They insist upon seeing them realized.
The project Of the court is a mature prof.
