W. P. Lafferty had a peculiar experi

the river a few days ago. after his ar
rival there he discovered that he had for
gotten his watch, which is a valuable
timepiece, and also a pair of small scis
sors that be has carried in his vest pocket
for years and values highly. He ielt a
little vexed at his own absent-mindedness
in leaving at home these pocket
pieces, but went on at his work. He
was cutting and burning brush and
placed his coat on a tree limo, later on
tossing his vest onto a little bush near
by. It was some distance from the fire
and as he was slashing soma distance
away he did not see the sparks drop onto
the vest. When he want after the latter
garment it was burned to a crisp. He is
glad now that he was absent-minded that
morning.
EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science has now Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion.
A few years ago, when a sufferer from
indigestion went to a stomach specialist,
the resnlt was a rigid diot list that almost
meant starvation.
But the first thing to do in tbe case of
indigestion or stomach weakness is to
strengthen tbe muscular walls of the
stomach and intestines,-so that they will
care for tbe 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 the pouring out
of gastric juices, so that the food is digest
ed readily and its nourishment retained
in tbe system to Duild up energy and
vitality. 0
Do not think tbe sick headache, heart
burn", bad taste in tbe mouth, coated
tongue, spots before the eyas, sleepless
ness and the many other symptoms that
are tbe direct result of indigestion, will
go away of themselves. The stomach
must ba built np and strengthened by
Mi- o-na before you can b9 well and
strong, free trom suffering and distress.
The guarantee that Graham & Wells
give with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na,
to refund the money unless the remedy
enres-, shows their confidence in the
treatment. .
