L'ut the first thing to do in the case of indigestion or stomach weakness is to atreugihen the tuiiFCulur wall of the stomach ami intestine, so that thev will eare for the food that in eaten. In no other way can this be done as well as by taking a Mi-o na tablet before each meal. This re stores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastrin juices, so that the lend is di gested readily and its nourishment retained In the system to lioild up energy and vitality. Do .not think ihe sick headache, heartburn, had tste in the mouth, coated tongue, snots before the eyes, sleoplessii) si and tin many otlur svmptouis that are the. direct resolt of iudigeptiou, will go awav of them selves.

Tfce following special dispatch to the New Tork World from Sioux City, la., explains In brief a new movement which Is of vital Interest to all local merchants and likewise to all citizens of town and country: An Important mercantile movement Is now working In the northwest under the name of the Berkley system, which numbers over 1,000 merchants and Is spreading rapidly. The system, which has the haeklnir of the wholesalers in the principal western Jobbing centers, lias ns its aim the extinction of the mall order meth od of doing business, which has bees developing at such a rapid pace that country retailers were rapidly losing hoie. The object Is to so operate the business of distribution that, while the retailer still gets u good protlt ou his wares, he sells them at not more than the catalogue houses ask. The Berkley system merchants league themselves together to adver tise co-operatively In order to lessen the expense and secure the benefit ot oxert and a unllled advertising policy. Hy co-opera l Ion, it is claimed, the cost of an effective advertising campaign, which Is a heavy burden for the Indi vidual to carry. Is reduced to a nom inal figure. The system In carrying out this work has undertaken to supply newspaper and circular advertising to quote prices to consumers, and many thousands of consumers are now receiving such ad vertising at regular Intervals. Aside from the economic Importance attaching to this new movement as a means of securing permanent reduc tions lu prices to consumers In the hundreds of communities where the organization is operating, It promises to greatly increase the importance of local centers, which in many Instances ',r",, liKht In the past few years "ive necn reduced t and railway station, ihe fanners transact, der business. mere postottlce through which 'd their mail or h Fought at Cettiburg rinvid Parker of Favette, X Y w l, ,'08t. f',f t Gettysbnrg. writes: Llemc timers have done me more eood than auy nisdicine I ever took lot several years I had stomach troiu.le and paid cnt much money for medieiue to little purpose, until I be Bnn takliiB Electric Bitters.
