Sweeninc the sidewalk in frnnfl of your residence and place of busi ness is a little thing to do but it means a good deal in the appear ance of the town. Dead leaves and dirt on the walks .give an air of desolation to aay town, and a lit tered walk in front of a business establishment indicates a lack of energy and pride in the proprietors. Let everyone do his part in keeping the town tidy, so that home seekers and strangers generally may be favorably impressed when they view our little city.

Necessarily it will be many years before a large percentage of this Kreat mi'eage will be improved, and in the meantime it is ot the utmost impor tance that we mane tbe best possible qse of facilities at hand. An expenditure of nearly $80,000,000 per annum is being applied to ths maintenance of these roads and it is safe to say that the loss from ' improper methods is well up in the mil lions. -"In God We Trust" does not appear on tbe new ten-dollar gold pieces.

Science has now Found the True Way to Cure Indigestion. A few years ao, when a sufferer from indigestion went to a stomach specialist, the result was a rigid diet list that almost meant starvation. But the first thing to do in the case of indigestion 01 stomach weakness is to strengthen tbe muscular, walls of tbe stomach and intestines, so that tbey mill cire far the food that is eaten. In no other way can this be done as well as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates tbe pouring ou; of gastric juices, so that fie food is digest ed readily and its nourishment retained in the system to Duild up energy aud vitality. Do not think tbe sick headache, heart burn, bad taste in tbe mouth, coated tongue, spots before the eyes, sleepless for Men cost 910 or $30 per suit, Corm Oregon ness and the many of er symptoms that are tbe direct result of indigestion, will go away of themselves. Tbe stomach must bs built up and strengthened by Mi o-na before you can be well and strong, free lrom suffering and distress. Tbe guarantee that Graham & Wells give with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na, to refund the money unless tbe remedy enres, shows their confidence in the, treatment.
