HOW TO GROW FAT
\ Lazy Stomach the Cause of Thinness
 Nine Times in Ten.

Lazy Stomach the Cause of Thinness,
 Nine Times in Ten.
 If you are thin or lean, have scraw- ny arms and neck. you can't grow fat unless your food properly digests.
 People take on flesh in proportion to the nutritious matter which the organs of digestion absorb and pass into the blood.
 Just as long as the nutritious matter passes along without being absorbed, just so long will you remain thin.
 Perhaps your stomach, bowels and liver need a tonic. If your digestion is not perfect. Mi-o-na tablets will put it right at once.
 Mi-o-na will relieve indigestion and every conceivable ailment of the stom l. ach promptly. It stren gthens digestion by building and toning up and not by encoura ging tired stomach to con tinue it's shiftless and health destroy ing habits It promptly drives away sour stomach, belching of gas, heavi- ness after eating.

A wrinkle, on the other hand, is never an agreeable object Eo gaze upon Only a tucked-up fold of the skin and so far not unlike the dimple, it, nevertheless, means exactly the opposite.
 It is the fixed and stereotyped i'm precision stamped by over work or undue worry, or chronic captiousness, or a peppery temper, or vinegarish disposition-or some other internal maiady.
 Instead of tending toward cheerful ness, it points a crowsfoot towards unhappiness, like a guide-post point ing the way to some local Slough of Despond
 Only in very old people, on whose faces time traces wrinkles in it's slow l annual passing even as spring freshets eventually wear Rl'inkling gullieS down the cheeks of once smooth hill sides. are wrinkles either admirable or behtting.
 Perhaps there may be one ex- l ception; in the case of those tiny folds radiating from the outer side of each eye which, in men of the type of i old Uncle Ike, come, not from cor Tugating ill-temper, but from their invariable habit of smiling with their eyes, rather than boisterously g-uffaW 1 ing with their mouths-But these
 are not true wrinkles They are of q different parentage: really a sort ot adult, grown-up dimple. They don't count in our discussion There are a good many men and women of this type, too.

 But, say, how my potatoes and corn and cabbage and peas and beans, etc, were growing that day! didn't really enjoy it, but they manifestly did. They simply bumped themselves. Rain had made the preceding day gloomy-to me. Heat made this day burdensome-to me. But the gardens had soaked in the rain with simply ecstatic delight and were now revelling in the hot sunshine. I had to cut as- paragus twice that day, to keep some of the stalks from getting wastefully long One particularly fat and juicy spear, which I noticed in the morning as being about four inches high, cut pole over nine inches long at six D. m,
 That rain, which didn't enjoy and that tropical heat which kept me un- comfortable meant a double yield of asparagus, as I could plainly see and cut into my basket. How many more punches of beets and onions and car rots how many more pecks of spinach and cress and peas and beans, how many more bushels of corn and pota- toes and wheat and oats, how many more tons of hay they meant I could not measure or estimate.

 Scarcely ayt1ing can be more pro- ocative of the answering smile than to see a sudden dirnple begin to ap- pear on the pretty face at which you are looking, and whose owner you are trying to interest.
