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.

Statistics recently ' compiled show
that there are nearly 2,500,000
miles of public roads iu this country,
only a small percentage of which are im
proved. 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

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

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.
