IS YOUR STOMACH CLOGGED

A. A. Howes Co. Guarantee to Return the
Money if Mona Does Not Relieve You.

"It's pleasure to sell medicine when our

much good it has done Them. said A. A. Howes
& Co., the popular druggists to Journal man.
land that is why we like to sell and recommend
Mi o-na, the dyspepsia remedy. We have SO
much faith in this article that we are going to
guarantee it in the future. and will return the
money to any purchaser of MILO ma whom it
does not help. That may seem rash but our
customers have SAID so many good words in its
favor that we 90 not expect to have many
packages returned.
ANYONE who has dyspepsia, whose food does
not digest well. and who has to take thought
as to what he can eat, and when, can leave so
cents deposit at our store and take home box
of Mi.o-na and if the remedy does not regulate
his digestion and help his dyspepsia he can
withdraw his money"
This shows great faith in the merit of Milo
ma. 1t is really a most unsual medicine and
the rapid increase of sales since A. A. Howes
& Co.. introduced it in Belfast shows that it
does all that it is claimed to do-relieves dys-
pepsia regulates digestion and enables those
who use it to eat just what they want with no
fear of trouble after.

immigration into the United States for

"For the fiscal year 1915 there was
total of 1876, 1923 personal and corporation
income-tax returns to be examined, and
with the present force of 274 field Off
GERS, making examinations at the same
average rate as experience has shown that
they are abe to 60, it will require three
and half years for this force to complete
the examination of the transcripts that
will be sent to the agents for examina-
ton in the present fiscal year." That is
quoted from Secretary McAdoo's annual
report, and is one of his arguments for
an increase in his force of income tax
employees, additional provisions for
feeding more observing Democrats" at
the public crib. According to that state
ment each field officer has 1880 income
tax returns to examine, which, at his
present rate of examination, will require
all owing 300 working days to year
1850 days to complete. In other words,
the force is examining returns at the rate
of one return per man, per day, which is
a fair sample Of Democratic efficiency.
And of this type of employees, hundreds
were appointed temporarily by the Treas
ury Department, and then blanketed into
the United States Civil Service by exec
utive order of President Woodrow Will
son, formerly vice-president of the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform League, who
on being elected President of the United

in a letter to it's chairman: Il beg you
to believe that my interest in and my

vice Reform League has not been and

Congressman Park, Democrat, of
Georgia, recently addressed the House of
Representatives in condemnation of the
changes the Democratic administration
has made in the rural service. He said:
There is great dissatisfaction because
of this delayed delivery of the nails and
ag ain: "Of all the changes made under
any administration in any department OF
the Government, this change in the
rurai-route service has created more dis
content, dissatisfaction, and antago-
nism." When criticisms such as this
were voiced by Republicans from North
ern States, the answer of the Democratic
press was that it was mere partisan
carping. This expression from part of
the country that has been specially ia
vored by the Post Office Department. and
by member of the party in power, ought
to be accepted as conclusive evidence of
the bad management under which our
postal service has fallen.
U. S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge: eff
we are to take up this question of the
violation of our rights, want to put it
not on the lowest ground alone, but on
the highest ground as well. l think it is
of great Importance that we should
vindicate our rights as neutral in trade
if those rights have been violated, but
think it is far more important that We
should extend protection and assure Sc
curity to American citizens wherever
they rightfully are, for l do not believe
that any government can long retain the
respect of its own people if it does not
give them the protection to which they
are entitled. l think Americans should
be protected in their lives and in their
liberty everywhere. do not think they
ought to be murdered in detail and OBJ
scurely in Mexico or openly and whole
sale on the high seas. Although l am as
anxious as anyone can be to care for our
rights in trade if they are violated, to
me American lives are more important
than American dollars. The body of an
innocent child floating dead on the water,
the victim of the destruction of an un-
armed vessel, is to me more poignant
and more tragic spectacle than an un-
sold bale of cotton"
