PHYSICIANS PRESCRIPTION FOR
INDIGESTION
important for all those who suffer af-
ter eating.


If you suffer from indigestion after
eating and find that instead Of the one
little pepsin or soda pill you used to
take, it now needs two or three to stop
it, it's time you called halt and did
some hard thinking.
The plain truth is that there are
thousands of men and women i'm this
country whose stomachs are dead or
dying from lack of exercise while they
themselves still live.
Years ago a famous physician wrote
the prescription for Mi-o-na Stomach
Tablets and thousands owe their very
life TO them today Most stomach
remedies work on the food and digest
it. Mi-o-na Tablets strengthen the
stomach walls, simulate the stomach
muscles and vitalize the stomach
machinery into instant and normal
action. c. G. Rhodes and many other
leading druggists heresbouts, sell Mi
o-na Tablets, agreeing to refund mon
ey in any case where it does not
druggist thinks this well of Mi-o-na
you surely ought to try it. adv

DEFINE CHANGES MADE ]. IN COMPENSATION LAW
Employers of less Ihaa Five Do
 Not Come Under AGl.

New Haven, Conn. May 2e.-The Connecticut workmen's compensation held an all day session here yesterday for the purpose of taking such steps as to give the people of the state easy information of important changes in the law just enacted by the general assembly.
 The amendments will form chap ter 2ss of the public acts of 1915. As the new act has already been signed by Governor Holcomb and is now effective the commission has prepared a handbook for immediate distribution as it will probably be some months before the public acts are printed.
 Commissioners Statement.
 The commissioners issued a state ment reciting the present changes as follows:
 "A ten day waiting period without the right to compensate instead of the two weeks period as before.
 "A provision for medical. surgical and hospital service due to injury without regard to length of time, in- stead of being limited to thirty day period as before.
 Various Detail Changes.
 'svarious detail changes as to spe- cific injuries to the hands, fingers and eyes.
 additional details will be re- quired in making reports of injuries

.F and a system of reports will f| for which will make possI ! preparation of more compiled ties as to the nature and e1 injuries suffered by industrial CTS than has been possible un| authority given the conmiksio o the old law.
 Feature of New Iaw.
 Probably the feature of { law which will attract the public interest is the fact ii ployers of less than five e1 will not be affected by the pr of the law as amended. unla voluntarily desire to be so z and either file notice to that z insure their risks. At the time an employer of less th who does nothing does not col der the act"
 The commission says tha preparation of these forms VI essarily take some time but . as is consistent with careful W additional bulletin. containin revised forms and such other nation as seems proper will tributed.

 People Facing Starvation.
 Here we have in our western hemisphere people face to face with absolute starvation. The president has issued an urgent appeal and the Red Cross seconds his appeal with all the emphasis possible The Red Cross will place it's own agent in Mex leo and through the state depart ment in cooperation with the United States consuls there, such supplies as may be purchased with the contribu- tions or given in kind will be dis tributed among the suffering non-com- batants.
 Arrangements will be made for warehouse, at which donations of corn. beans, rice and flour can be col- lected to be forwarded at New York. Galveston and Laredo. Any further from American Red Cross headquarters, Washington, D. C."

head of the American Fed Cross, set ting forth that due to several years of internal disturbances, the unfor- tunate people of many parts of Mex leo have been reduced to the verge of staryation,'' and urging contribu- tionsa to relief funds. =
 White House Statement.
 Later the White House gave out the following:
 When the presidents appeal for aid for the Mexicans was issued, it was also stated at the executive offices that a statement from the president on the present situation in Mexico might be expected within the next few days"
 This statement has been prepared and will be issued after tho cabinet meeting. next Tuesday and then com municated to the leaders of all the Mexican factions.
 Officials Maintain Silence.
 Officials at the White House and state department declined to say what the presidents statement contained. but denied that recognition of any faction was now contemplated. It was stated authoritatively that while friends of yCarranza here had been , pressing for recognition, the Wash ington government had not been im- pressed with the ability if any of the 1 contending chiefs to restore order. The ] present action. it was, said. was not l intended to assist one faction at the i expense of another, but to demand in ] effect that the Mexicans arrive at an 1 early settlement of their troubles or l at least provide for the sustenance l of the starving population.
 High officials referred to the presi- dents forthcoming pronouncement as not meaning immediate intervention and they emphasized the word i'm, mediate The impression in execu- tive quarters was that one purpose ! would be to put responsibility for the ! present state of affairs squarely upor ] the military elem ents in tho southern l republic which have overrun ths country and appropriated its food sup i ply, or prevented the tilling of the : soil. While anxious to continue tht policy of allowing the Mexicans t settle their differences without out side interference. the president is sait i to be determind that the civilian pop
 ulation of the country shall not b starved in the meantime.
 Wilson Appeals for Aid. l The presidents appeal, addressed tt the American public, is as follows:
 '.The American people with charac
 teristic generosity and an impartia spirit Of brotherhood with all nations have contributed literally for the re lief If the appalling sufferings caused F by the unprecedented war in Europe There has now arisen condition Q ' equally great suffering and need clos to our own borders, due to seyera \ years of internal disturbance the un 2 fortunate people of many parts Q
 Mexico have been reduced to the vers
 of starvation, and unless assistance ]
 rendered them, many may die for lacl
