Many have tried the

Iast-but few have found
ii uniformly successful IL
takes too long to execute

using IL is trapped into
big losses.
The play, of course, Is a
paHs to one man, a for
ward pass 10 another and
n second forward pass to
the final man who Is to
receive the ball It's n
pretty play to watch when
executed perfectly. but
very often the second man,
while posing himself for

tackled from behind or In
front, and instead Of gain
ing ground, loses on the
play.

Do You Digest Your
 Meals With Pills ?
Make Your Stomach Stronger Than Medicine and End indigestion, Sour
 ness, Gas and Pain.

No healthy stomach needs digestive pills to do It's work If the food you eat disagrees 1t is bad policy to con tinually force the digestion of the fer rnenting food with artificial aids.
 Make your stomach strong and heal thy so it can do it's own work. A bad stomach needs a good medicine like Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets, which Lee & Osgood and leading druggists every where sell on positive guarantee of satisfaction or money back. Mi-o-na helps the digestion but it also helps the stomach by 1oosening up the hardened bile and mucous from the stomach h walls permitting normal flow of the nstturai digestive juices and strength ems the entire digestive system. Di- gestive pills often become a bad habit. Mi-o-na ends the pill habit and ends indi gestion. Many reports from satiS- fled users prove it's value for this pur- pose.

 You can cook with gas, heat water for washing, do the laundry work, light your house, take the chill from rooms on cold days; why, if you wanted to, you could have gas engine pump the water for you if that was necessary.
 It would take larger space than that occupied by this advertisement to enumerate all of the many things that may be done with gas, and as space is rather expensive, we would suggest that you call at our office and see for yourself how many things may be done.
