post at Tallman & Co., or any drug
store and take home a box Of Mi-o-na
and if this remedy does not do all ID
is advertised to do. he can withdraw
his money. This is the strongest
proof that can be offered as to the
merit of the medicine.
Mi-o-na is not simply a food di-
gester; it is a medicine that puts an
of the digestive organs into normal
condition 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 should soon give the power to
eat most anything at any time and
not suffer distress afterward.

Remarkable Remarks
South Carolina Senator-"It comes with
bad grace from men on that side, who have
been getting their share of chicks and eggs
from the National Government, to get up
and cautiously criticise the rest of us who
are only doing the same thing"
Member of Congress-"Mr. Speaker there
are six men in my district after my seat, and
must do something to raise the wind"
Representative Austin, of Tennessee - "I
believe in putting money in circulation in
the same time. these buildings give employ
ment to thousands of American working
men,"
Representative Burnett, of Alabama-"If
you want to economize, why don't you stop
building battleships?'
Senator Clark, of Florida-"We unite
the affections of the people all over this glo-
rous land in a closer bond of union by rear
ing in their midst an edifice for the transac-
tion of the public business, which, while be-
ing useful, will at the same time remind them
of the glory the majesty and the power Of
this great Republic"
Senator Sutherland, of Utah, with refer
ence to postofIice costing 100000 at Jasper.
Ala, population 25O9: st think 1t is a little
bit important to the Federal Government in
a town like this, where it is holding it's courts
to be represented by building with a flag
flying at the top Of it."
Representative Garner, of Texas-"There
are half dozen places in my district where
Federal buildings are being erected or have
recently been constructed at cost to the
Government far in excess of the actual needs
of the communities where they are located
Take Uvdale, my home town, for instance
We are putting up postoffice down there at
a cost of 100000. when $4,000 building would
be entirely adequate for our needs. This is
mighty bad business for Uncle Sam, and I'll
admit It; but the other fellows in Congress
have been doing 1t for a long time and 1
can't make them quit. Now we Democrats
are in charge of the House, and I'll tell you
right now, every time one of these Yankees
gets a ham I'm going to do my best to get a
hog"

ANOTHER EMDEN!

WHILE the State Department Is brushing

national law aroused by the arrival of the
British liner Appam, in charge of a German
prize crew. the world will take moment to
applaud the hardlhood and the vigor of the
captors alone. After the Emden's tragic end.
and after a few other raiders had been swept
from the sea- in the boastful phrase of the
officials the oceans were clear Every port
was guarded. every harbor blocked. And
suddenly the Moewe!
The history of the Moewe Is not yet known.
She started from the Kiel Canal. When she
shot across the Appams bows she was dis
gused by false eolors. Her men fought in
blood on the decks of the Appam, took her,
and apparently transferred to her prisoners
from seven or eight other prizes. The Appam
was taken to Hampton Roads The MoeWe is
still roaming the seas.

ANCESTOR OF THE BANK

One ancestor we have always with us. and
that is the pawnshop. Only we're reforming
him.
The pawnshop is the ancestor of the bank
1t has existed in some form in all ages and
among all peoples. The Greeks the Hebrews
and the Chinese. in ancient times, borrowed on
-the security of personal effects. In medieval
Europe, when princes and kings and such like
personages needed money, they went to the
pawnbroker, The pawnbroker was the banker.
Pawnbroking was synonymous with usury.
Germany led the way in the establishment
of governmental pawnshops. In that country
royal. municipal and private shops may be found.
They are usually run In connection with savings
banks. st. Louis established a municipal
pawnshop one or two years ago. In general the
American way OF dealing with the evils which
have been associated with pawnbrokng has
been to regulate the business by law and to form
loan societies to combat the Sharks"
The imperial pawnshop of Vienna was founded
by Joseph in 1707, That makes 1t older than
any in Germany though the latter country was
the first to make governmental institutions
general. The Bank of England may be consid-
cred pawnshop in that 1t lends money on plate.
Pawnbroking Is everywhere regarded as a le-
gitimate business in itself. It is criticised only
because Of abuses sometimes connected with it.

Mayor Gaynor is reported as saying that he

Gaynor himself asserted that he knew Epictetus

L little do we enthuse over safety razors.
We like the od-fashoned straight blade and

Yet we notice that whenever we shave on

lighted a long black cigar for n comfortable
smoke and who was watching us with APP
