DON'T OPEN TILL XMAS ''

4 certain chap in Chicago last Chris tmas almost made reputation as d joker by using the tags marked Don't open until Christmas" But hs didn't use them on packages that cost money Not much, What he did was to buy a lot of penny Christmas postcards. and on each one he stuck a tag, Don't open until Christmas"
 Then he sent them to all his friends, and they were so tickled vii n the idea. that they never thought about how cheaply he had got off. Mind over matter, see?
 And nearly as funny as the joke was the fact that lot of women who received these cards. soaked them in warm water and split theHi open, or tried to split them open. sn the firm belief that the cards coutI really bf opennd

WHAT DYSPEP TICS
SHOULD eat
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE

Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are,
nine times out of ten, due to
acidity; therefore stomach suf-
ferers should, whenever possible,
avoid eating food that is acid in,
its nature, or which by chemical
action in the stomach develops
acidity. Unfortunately, such a
rule eliminates most foods which
are pleasant to the taste as we'll
as those which are rich in blood,
flesh and nerve building proper
ties. This is the reason why dys-.
peptics and stomach sufferers are
usually so thin, emaciated and
lacking in that vital energy which
can only come from a we'll fed
body For the benefit of those
sufferers who have been obliged
to exclude from their diet all
starchy, sweet or fatty food, and
are trying to keep up a miser-
able existence on gluten prod
ucts, ] would suggest that you
should try meal of any food or
foods which you may like. in
moderate amount taking imme-
diately afterwards a teaspoonful
of bisurated magnesia in a little
hot or cold water. This will neu-
tralize any acid which may be
present. or which may be formed,
and instead of the usual feeling
of uneasiness and fullness, you
will find that your food agrees
with you perfectly. Bisurated
magnesia is doubtless the best
food corrective and antacid
known. 1t has no direct action
on the stomach; but by neutraliz-
ing the acidity of the food con-
tents, and thus removing the
source of the acid irritation which
inflames the delicate stomach lin
ing, it does more than could pos
sibly be done by any drug or
medicine. AS physician, | be-
lieve in the use of medicine when
ever necessary, but | must admit
that | cannot see the sense of dos
ing an inflamed and irritated
stomach with drugs instead of
getting rid of the acid-the cause
of all the trouble. Get little
bisurated magnesia from your
druggist, eat what you want at
your next meal, take some of the
bisurated magnesia as directed
above, and see il I'm not right" =

DENVER, Colo, April 5.-"The
most remarkable brain in the
world" pulsates today in a prison
cell!
Cleo Smith, %, said by scient-
lists, at least, to have the most
marvellous mind in the world, the
most uncomprehensible brain
power known in the world, is
charged with violating postal laws
by sending indecent letters
through mail.
Smith was born a genius. Sci
entists and psychologists studied
his case.
The memory of the tiny lad In
knickerbockers seemed limitless;
he could pack the contents of
whole encyclopedias into his brain
cells.
science was baffled, but
the mother of the bOy-wOn-
der claimed his power was
the result of prenatal influ-
ence. Before he was born,
she says, she prayed to have
a child Of great mental gifts.
The idea that her child must be
wonder-child became. an obses-
sion with her. The mother says
her prayer seemed to be answered
when her son astonished the
world with his genius for statis-
tics.
The boy could not earn a liv-
ing; there are few jobs for statis-
teal wonders. He busted himself
writing letters, the police say, let
ters telling Of crimes and of weird
performances Of physical strength.
His brother Roy, also a genius
for figures, shared his brothers
letter writing mania, according to
the authorities.
The letters, 1t is charged, were
scattered through Denver and
some we're sent to President Will
son and other prominent men.
To Mrs. Smiths explanation OF
prenatal influence the eugenists
add their own explanation--that
the boy IL the offspring Of an un.

Oliver Girl
Reappears

Continued From Page One,)
1t is believed that she is starting
a new search for Ethel.
The disappearance of Ethel Oil
yer last September was one of the
mysterious cases in the annals of
the police department. The young
girl packed her grip one after
noon, and without a word to any
one, set out from the Shedwick
home.
Been in Seattle?
Although city and county de-
tectives worked on the case for
months, they could get no posi-
tive trace of the girl. Reports
from Oregon, Montana and Idaho
that the girl was seen in all three
states, failed TO develop any def
mite proof that she had been
there.
The police of Tacoma came to
the conclusion some time ago that
Ethel had joined her father, who
is separated from Mrs. Oliver,
and is living in Alaska.
They had received no official
information today regarding Eth
els visit to her mother at Ever
EFT Sunday.
IF it is true. | believe that
Ethel has been hiding in Seattle

HERE'S NEW VIGOR FOR
ONERWORKED STOMACHS

Crown Drug Co., the popular
druggists, have been in the drug
business long enough to have
their own opinion Of the best way
of selling medicines. They say
the plan adopted by Mi-o-na, the
great dyspepsia remedy, is the
fairest they have ever heard Of.
They don't believe that a medi-
cine ought to be paid for unless
II does the user some good. And
Mi-o-na is sold under a positive
guarantee to relieve dyspepsia or
to refund the money. You simply
leave so cents on deposit with
Crown Drug Co. and If, after you
have used the box OF Mi-o-na you
decide that 1t has done you no
good, all you have to do is to
tell them so and they will return
your money.
Hundreds of people have been
relieved Of stomach agonies by
using this remarkable remedy. 1t
is not simply a food digester; 1t
is a medicine that puts all of the
digestive organs into normal con-
dition and gives rudy, glowing,
vigorous health. A change for
the better will be seen after the
first few doses of Mi-o-na, and
its continued use will soon give
the power to eat anything at any
time and not suffer distress aft
erward.
Mi-o-na is sold under posi-
tive guarantee to refund the
money II It does not cure. This
is the strongest proof that can
be offered as to the merit of the
medicine.
Nothing lessons a mans sue
cess In his work or a woman s
