QUICKLY VANISHES
- Your money back if you want it is
the way in Which the Newling Drug
company are selling Mi-o-na, the
great dyspepsia remedy. '
. This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-na
has so much merit and is so al
most invariably successful in reliev
ing all forms of indigestion that they
run but little risk in selling under a
guarantee of this kind. ... A .
- Do not be miserable or make your
friends ' miserable with your dyspep
sia. M.i-o-na will help you. If it
doesn't tell Newlin's Drug company
that you want your money back and
they will cheerfully refund it., : '
' A change for the tetter .will be
seen from the first few doses of Mi-o-na
and its continued use will soon
start you on the road to perfect di
gestion and enjoyment of food.
Mi-o-na has been so uniformly suc
cessful that every box is sold under
a positive guarantee to refund the
money if it does not relieve. What
fairer proposition could be made?
. Newlin's Drug company give their
personal guarantee of "money back if
you; want it" with every box of Mi-o-na
that they sell. A guarantee like

... An R. F. D. Library Service. 1
' In the January Woman's Home
Companion is the story of a Mary
land wqman named Mary Dewitt Tit
comb who has extended the field of
the Washington County free library
until it supplies the; loneliest,.-inaugurating
an R. F. D.llbrary service.
In reward the trustees have built her
a residence attached to the library.
, . "Miss Titcomb felt that it was
necessary for the library to go to
those who were- not able' to come , to
the library. So, with the consent of
the trustees, she built her first 'li
brary wagon.' It was, according to
her own description', 'most like a sub
liminated ; laundry wagon.' ' There
were side doors opening outward, and
each side was fitted with shelves full
of Woks." Between the shelves and in
the space below were two - dapper
mules, the wagon started onj its mis
sion of carrying good books to every
little crossroads - settlement, . every
hillside farm. An . auto has . now
taken the place of the wagon, and it
carries a visiting librarian, who helps
farm families and the teachers of remote-schools
K in their ; selection of
'books, and pictures. It makes two'
trips a week on sixteen routes, covering-
the entire county. : The county
has fifty thousand inhabitants, : and J
lest year the circulation of books from
the traveling library alone was sixty
thousand. ''Its clients demand less fic
tion than do the town people, showing I
a keen interest in works devoted to;
travel, piograpny, nistory, sociology
and poetry, . Appreciating the value
of 'their, librarian, the trustees have
built a charming residence attached
to the library just as a manse is to
its thurch, in which Miss . Titcomb
now lives, i-M f -si J r ij

cause the urie acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they beoome overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and eauss all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis
ery in the kidney region; rheumatio twin
ges, severe beadaobes, sold stomaoh, oon
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation. . .,
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four, ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy)
take a tables poonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is mado from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush dogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithla
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary orgnns clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.
