STOMACH MISERY
QUICKLY VANISHES

Your money back if you want it is
the way in which R. Hodgins, the pop
ular druggist, is selling Mona, the
great dyspepsia remedy
This is an unusual plan, but Mona
has so much merit and is so almost
successful in relieving all
forms of indigestion that he runs but
little risk in selling under a guar
antee of this kind.
Do not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspepsia.
Mona will help you If it doesn't,
tell R. Hodgins that you want your
money back and he will cheerfully re-
fund it.
A change for the better will Sc seen
from the first few doses of Mona
and it's continued use will soon start
you on the road to perfect digestion
and enjoyment of food.
Mona has been so uniformly sue
cessful that every box is sold under a
positive guarantee to refund the money
if it does not relieve. What fairer
could be made?
R. Hodgins gives his personal guar |
antee of money back if you want it"
with every box of Mi-o-na that he |
sells. A guarantee like this speaks
7olumes for the merit of the remedy.

Chatanika Man Is
 Burned To Death

Brick Iver Heggbloom young to death at an early hour last Fri day morning in a cabin fire al Chatanlka The origin of the fire in which he lost his life is not known, although the people of Chat anika are able to draw their in- ferences from the position in which the body was found.
 It appears that the young man went to his cabin from a down town resort at Chatanika about one-half hour before the fire was discovered Before leaving for home he stated that he had not eaten anything and therefore intended go- ing home to cook some meat All happened between midnight and ? o'clock on Friday morning, nobody seeming to be able to tell the exa0 t time It is understood that he had visited his brother early in the ev- ening.
 There was a high wind blowing at the time and it is therefore thought that the fire caught from the stove or from spark. From the position in which the body was fcurd on the floor it Is evident that the young man was lying on the bed while the fire was start ing and that he fell asleep.
 Commissioner Samuel R. Weiss, of ChatGnika, expresses the Opini- on that an inquest over the remains is not necessary It Is stated that no funeral arrangements have yet been made The body is to be brought to Fairbanks as soon as the train can get through.
 HeggDloom leaves a brother who has been a resident of Chatanika for many years. It is also stated that he leaves his mother, another brother and a sister in Sweden and that still another brother lives In California.
