Stomah Dead

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation Of food, distress af-
ter eating and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial di-
gestors, are killing their stomachs by
inaction- just as surely as the victim
Of morphine is deadening and injuring
beyond repair every nerve in his body.
What the stomach Of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is a good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy and elias
ITCHY into it, and make it sturdy
enough to digest hearty meal with
out artificial aid.
The best prescription for indiges-
ton ever written 10 sold by druggists
everywhere and by Wortley & French
and 10 rigidly guaranteed to build up
the stomach and cure indigestion or
money back.
This prescription rs named Mi-o-na
and is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes for only a few cents. Re
member the name, Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. They never fail.

LOCAL NURSE WHO
IS NOW At CAMP
CUSTER, WRITES
INTERESTING MISSIvE FROM
MISS EDNA HUMMER TELLS OF
THE LIFE OF ARMY NURSE.

Sec'y. Byron +. Brown of the local
board Of commerce, is in receipt Of the
following letter, written by Miss Edna
hummer, daughter Of Mrs. o. A.
hummer, in which the nurse tells Of
the life at Camp Custer, as she saw
and experienced it &C the cantonment
during the serious "flu" epidemic,
which ragged there:
Nov. "a, 1918.
Dear Friends:
Your letter came as very pleasant
surprise. / surely did enjoy it. 1t
is comfort to know that the home
folks have not forgotten us and can
spare the time to assure W Of that
fact.
Yes, am quite myself again. This
has been q happy day for me because
/ was allowed to go back to regular
duty in the sick wards again, for the
first time since / was taken sick. The
work is not very hard and the corps
men do the heaviest part of the work
We have about, $50 nurses at pres
ent, many of whom are expecting to
be sent across soon. Nurses are sent
here from all over u. s. and those
who want foreign service are sent
from here to N. Y, where they are Civ
en- more training and drilling while
they are being equipped by the Red
Cross.
We have 80 student nurses who will
take two years CT army training and
one year in a civilian hospital. If
needed they will be sent across before
their training is completed. They
have classes, lectures and work in the
sick wards during the forenoon.
Army life is much easier than in
civilian nursing. We have 2 hours
a day for work in normal times. Night
duty is IL hours a day but we only
have one month of it during year.
You can see that army life is spoil
ing US. We don't want to go back
to private duty.
You surely did have big time cele-
0rating there. la.TS'i
We had very quiet time here. We
can see but little effect of the end of
the war. Every one at the Base hos
pital has just so much to do, regard
less of the day.
We have band here and it played
with all it's might played longer and
louder than usual. The big guns and
machine guns made an unusual
amount of noise. We could feel them
too by the rafting Of the buildings.
Across from the nurses quarters in
patients ward the soldier patients
organized a band and played pretty
good-that is they made lot Of noise
and kept good lively time. They had
a mouth organ, tub and sticks for
drum. They also had two large green
garbage can covers to clap together.
They had other instruments which /
was unable to see but which produced
much racket.
The soldiers from lower camp were
allowed to march to Battle Creek on
that day. l think about the most re-
joicing was done that day because
the quarantine was lifted for the first
since the flu epidemic.

Spanish INFLUENZA
MORE DEADLY
THAI VAR
laid That Epidemic Cost More Lives
Than American Loss in Battle
Danger Not Over-Great Care
Necessary to Prevent Further
Outbreak.

The appalling ravages of Spanish
influenza in this country are perhaps
pest realized by the statement recent
y made, that more deaths have result
I'd in little more than a month from
vGhis dease than through our whole Is
months participation In the battles OF
NE European war.
Our greatest danger now, declare
authorities, is the great American ten
dency to forget easily and to believe
che peril is over. Competent author
Hies claim the coming Of cold weather
is very apt to bring return Of this
disease and there should be no let up
throughout the winter months Of the
following easily observed precautions,
remembering that Influenza is far
easier to prevent than cure.
Influenza is crowd disease. Avoid
crowds as much as possible. Influen-
IA germs spread when ignorant or
careless persons sneeze OF cough with
cut using a handkerchief. Cover up
each cough or sneeze. Do not spit
on the flood, sidewalk, in street cars
or public places. Avoid the use of
common drinking cups AMI roller tow
reliable germicidal and antiseptic air

Judgment In your nose and throat.
Remember, no safer p-ecaution
against influenza could DE employed in
this manner than to get from the
nearest drug r+Hre a complete Hyomei
Outfit consi- ag Of a bottle Of the
Pure Oil of Hyomei and little vest
pocket hard rubber inhaler devise, into
which few drops Of the oil are pour
cd. You should carry this inhaler
about with you during the day and
each half hour or so put it in your
mouth and draw deep breaths Of its
Dure, healing germ killing air into the
passages OF your nose, throat and
lungs.
BY destroying germs before they ac-
tually begin work in your blood, you
may make yourself practically i'm
nune to infection.
All these suggestions about Spanish
Influenza are equally true in the pre-
vention Of colds, catarrh Of nose and
throat, bronchitis and even pneumo-
MIA. Don't become careless. Do
your part. Keep the germs away.
You may save yourself a serious i'll
ness and the loss of several weeks
work.-Adv.

The reason we so strongly recommend Vinol for
