Germany has few friends in The
world. The sentiment in South Amer
lea Is divided, and the actual neutral
fly Of North America is doubtful.
We have not understood the psychology
OF the South Americans-and not OF the
South Americans alone. II
IS a mistake to say that merely envy
and ill-will are TO blame for this, for
we ourselves have frequently insulted
this psychology by our methods.

A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is It?,

Thousands? yes hundreds of thou sands of people throughout America are taking the slow death treatment daily.
 They are murdering their own stomach, the best friend they have, and in their sublime ignorance they think they are putting aside the laws of nature.
 This is no sensational statement; 1t is a startling fact, the truth of which any honorable physician will not deny
 These thousands of people are swallowing daily huge quantities of pepsin and other strong digesters, made especially to digest food in the stomach without any aid at all from the digestive membrane of the stom- ach.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis tressed stomach in five minutes: they do more. Taken regularly for a few weeks they build up the run down stomach and make it strong enough to digest its own food. Then indi- gestion, belching, sour stomach and headache will go.
 Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by druggists everywhere and by The Lee & Osgood Co.,, who guarantees them.
