HOW TO GROW FAT
A Lazy Stomach the Cause of Thin
ness, Nine Times in Ten.

"A Lazy StOmdcn the SduSe Oh lnln-
ness, Nine Times in Ten.
If you are thin or lean, have
scrawney 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 or
gans of digestion absorb and pass in
to the blood.
Just as long as the nutritious mat
ter passes along without being alb
sorbed, just so long will you remain
thin.
Perhaps your stomach, bowels and
liver need 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
stomach promptly. 1t strengthens
digestion by building and toning up
and not by encouraging a tired stom-
ach to continue it's shiftless and its
misunderstanding habits. 1t prompt
ly drives away sour stomach, belch-
ing of gas, heaviness after eating.
Wortley e. French sell Mi-o-na and
guarantee it to relieve indigestion,
sea and car sickness, vomiting of
pregnancy and all stomach diseases
and distress, or money back.
Mi-o-na is sold by leading drug
gists.-Adv.

namely $15 for his wife, $40 for his
first child and $3.50 for his second
child. But Hadley insisted on $50.
"How do you figure that?" queried

how are you going to figure the first
child? They both come under the
$40 head" answered Hadley.

after puzzling over it for a few hours.
