IS EVERYONE A TELKFATHWT?
Are we all mind readorst
Can any prosaio business or pro
fessional man, with proper develop
ment, become an . accomplished
psychic, receiving and transmitting
ideas without the use ot a medium
so gross as the spoken word?
Iteceut expurlmenta in the Char
cot Institute in France, and la the
psychiatric rllnlo ot the John Hop
kins hospital In Baltimore, would
seem to lead to this belief, and Nor
man It. Frescott, at present the fore
most exponent of telepathy on the
pu'bllo platform, states It most em
phatically aa bis belief that this Is
true. Mr. Frescott will appear at the
opera house December 29.
Of course, this does not mean that
one can soon hope to duplicate Mr.
Frescott'a feat of transmitting a
name by thought wavee to his com
panion on the stage, and have this
sensitive pronounce that name
your name, tf you will; one that ho
has never heard before la his Ufa
or, for the matter ot that, any ot
the startling feats which amaxe the
modern public when . demonstrated

tential state in which most of us live

note.

"It'a a pleasure to sell a medicine
when your customers come la aftor
ward and tell you how much good It
baa done them," said C. II. Demaray,
the popular druggist, to a Oranta
Iass man, "and that is why I like to
sell and recommend Ml-o-na. the
dyspepsia romedy. I have to much
faith in this article that I ant going
to guarantee it In the future, and
will return the money to any pur
chaser of Mi-o-na whom It does not
help. That may seem rash, but my
enstomors have said so many good
words in its favor that I do not ex
pool to have many packages re
turned, v.
"Anyone who has dyspepsia, whose" '
food does not digest well, and who
baa to take thought as to what ha
can eat, and when, can leave 60
cents deposit at my store and take '
homo a box of Ml-o-na and lt the '
remedy does not regulate his diges
tion and help his dyspepsia he can
withdraw his money,"
This shows great faith In the
merit of M(-o-na. It is really a most
unusual medicine and the rapid In-
rrcasft of sales since C. H. Demaray
Introduced It In Grants Pass shows
that it does all that It Is claimed to
do relieves dyspepsia, regulates di
gestion and enables those who use It
to eat Just what they want with no
