Millions for q
NeU Stomach

One Of the greatest American million

bling. for q new stomach and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
Ali his wealth could not make him
happy or contented, for happiness large
Iy depends upon digestion. Without
health where does happiness come inv
After all the stomach plays a great
part in everyday life. Without
healthy stomach and good digestion our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our
heart action is weak, our liver does not
do its duty. and man is miserable and
unhappy. Prevent disease by putting
the house in order and strengthening
the system against the germs Of disease.
DR.. Pierce, of the Inyalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y,
years ago understood diseases and their
prevention, and he discovered certain
roots and herbs which were natures
remedies, and succeeded in putting them
I'D in a form that could be easily pro-
cured at the drug store Ciiquid or
tablets1. This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This Dis
covery gives no false stimulation be-
cause it contains no alcohol or any mar
cotic. It helps digestion and the as
sanitation of such elements in the food
as are required for the blood. It gives
to the blood the food elements the It's
sues require. For over fifty years it

The Bitter Truth.

Joseph Hergesheimer, who enjoys
an even greater literary reputation
in England than at home, dined re-.
Gently with a friend at New York
restaurant.
The novelist was condemning the
prevalent commercial spirit in liter
allure and said:
"In true art money should never be
an object"
At this point in the conversation
the waiter brought in his exorbitant
bill and Mr.. Hergesheimer, scanning
the document, sighed and remarked:
at is true that in art money should
be no object, but 1t should be no OBJ
lection, either, in these times"

Mrs. Hicks Relieved
By Four Eat0nicS

81 have taken four Eatonic tablets
and they relieved me of sour stomach.
I recommend it to everybody" says
Mrs. G. P. Hicks.
If stomach is not digesting your
food; if you have sourness, bloating,
food repeating, indigestion or acid
stomach, Eatonic will remove the
cause by taking up and carrying out
the acidity and gases, bringing quick
relief and healthy digestion. Why suf-
fer stomach trouble? Why not keep
your digestion normal and enjoy good
health? An Eatonic taken after each
meal will prevent discomfort and pain.
Make the test today and see how
quickly this wonderful remedy acts.
It comes in handy tablet form. Carry
it with you. A big box costs only a
trife with your druggists guarantee.

The application of the term "brown-
study" to state of mental abstrac-

writer's to be misno.i@r, as the real
term is "brow- study" it is, however,
more probably one of a group of SIM

Let's have a clean campaign,

candidates and kindred skates a
courteous mein maintain. Let's
hold~no long disputes with elo-
quent galoots, not fill the air with
fur and hair, and bricks and rocks
and boots. It's useless to get sore
and rant and walk the floor, con-
vincing jakes of their mistakes
they'll make the same some more.
It's useless to see red, and punch
your neighbours head; because
that wight may well be right,
when all is done and said. The
statesmen come along and chant
the same old song; if they get in
they'll Danish sin, and outlaw
every wrong. I hear the siren
tune the smooth old statesmen
Groom, and much it to

since days when / was young; and
I am wise to all such guys, for
often I've been stung. And so,
while others scrap, and yammer,
zip and zap, I prune my trees and
herd my. bees, and keep some
smiles on tap.
