THOUGHT HE HAD
CHRONIC DYSPEPSIA

Do you belong to the "No, thank
you society of the dinner table where
the mere sight of certain foods makes
you feel that pain you know would be
yours if you ever ate them?
What weak, easily upset stomach
really needs is not digestive aid but
a stomach strengthened. Any reliable
physician will tell you it's dangerous
to continually dose the stomach with
pepsin digesters and the like. His own
prescription will act on the stomach
instead. No physician ever wrote a
better stomach prescription than that
embodied in the famous MONA
Stomach Tablets that Thistlethwaite's
4 stores in this vicinity sell with the
positive guarantee that they must put
a complete and lasting end to stom-
ach misery or money back. Mi-o-na
strengthens the walls and muscular
fibres of the stomach and induces
prompt normal working of your own
stomach machinery 1t gives relief in
ten minutes to all the common and
uncomfortable symptoms of sour ris-
ing, gas, belching, burning, bloating,
shooting pains, etc, and in few
weeks will put the stomach in such a
clear and perfectly healthy condition
that it can digest typical New Eng
land boiled dinner without the slight
est effort or distress. Mona Tablets

more perfectly proven case in criminal annals" So
there is no burden the governors conscience.
clergyman is quoted as expressing the belief
that Becker innocent because he failed to con-
fess the crime and saying that the guilty invariably
confess in their last hours. The clergyman was no
doubt misquoted for to accept such theory in
wolves the admission that great many innocent
men have been put to death in the past. 1t is in
fact the exception for men accused of capital
offenses and who have fought the law to the ut
most limit to confess at the last, even to their
spiritual advisers. And who would venture to
fathom the working of the human mind beneath
the descending shadow of violent, terrifying death
from which there be no escape, or to pass
judgment upon the man who either holds his
tongue or uses his last breath to reassert his in
nocence?
The Washington herald., 1915-07-31
Passing of an American Citizen.

Coming as it does in the immediate wake OF
series of grave international happenings, the re-
cent transfer of allegiance made by Mr.. Henry
lanes has not turned out to be the crushing blow
it might have been under other conditions. Per-
haps the fact that ne has been in what might be
terminated state of transition for at least forty
wears NAV have contributed to the national apathy
over the detection 1t has long been patent to
observing Americans that Mr.. James had himself
we'll in training for such step, and, now that 1t
has been taken, wonder that it has been so long
delayed is as general in this country as it must
be on the other side. For never before, prob
abIv. was there ever born on American soil, of
American parents, a being who fitted in so har-
moniously with British institutions as has this
belated subject of King George, a native of New
York City, but a resident of England since 1869.
Let it be remembered, also, that there is a
good and sufficient reason for Mr.. James prefer
ence. When, several years ago, another Ameri-
can citizen became naturalized subject Of the
British Empire there ample reason to ques-
ton his motives-he was influenced by pique and
determination to secure the preferment which was
laggard in his country. Nothing OF the sort
can ever be charged against Henry James. Since
his early manhood he has been the very apotheosis
of Anglomania. His entire career has been
modelled and carried out on British lines and his
highly specialized mentality has been dominated
by British tradition. There is nothing sordid or
banal in his determination to become legally what
he has long been in temperament and spirit.
Moreover, Mr.. James has devoted his best
energies for lifetime to an attempt to show US
his late fellow countrymen-how impossible we
really are We are indebted to him for a great
deal of amusement, even if it has been at our ex-
pense. We hope sincerely that he will continue
for many years to dissect with his keen-edged,
but delicately handled scalpel, and disposed to
forgive him for his unique of the semi-colon
and his not infrequent hesitation to the
period Nor do we regard him as more of lit
erary mystic than the son of brany Sweden
borgian theologian should be.
Vale Henry James. American! Ave, Henry
James, Englishman!
