Why Saint Nicholas? ly ROBERT DONNELL. w jOoprrlvbt. H. American Praea Aaao- ciauon.j HT Is Pacta Clans sometimes called SL Nicholas 7 For the most excellent reason that Nicholas Is tbe real nam of the salut Until comparative ly recant years there was no Santa Clans at Christmas time. When tba old saint tonal down the chimney Dee. 24, Cbrtstmas tva, and deposits gifts for tbe children In ths suspended stocking ha Is just nineteen days be hind tie, for true and proper time la Dec. 5, that being tbe eve of St. Nicholas dsy. Just bow Nicholas got to be the Christmas eve saint Is not sltogetber clear, but those Icon oclasts woo dig Into ancient matters are probing this secret. They have discovered, or claim to have discov ered, that the Christmas eve Santa Clans really originated Lu America, be ing transported to England from New York. In tbe saints' calendar Dec. 0 la St. Nichols day. Nicholas was bishop of Myra. In l.yel He U believed to hSTe lived under the Emperors Dio cletlxn and Constantlne and l the pa tron saint cf poor maidens, sailors, travelers, merchants and children. Klch maidens, of course, are also quite willing to acknowledge him when be come along with diamond dog col tare, necklaces and tiaras. Before tbe great religious reformation the custom of glvlug presents on St. Nicholas ev was general throughout Christian Europe. When the worship of tb saints was abolished the prac tice died out In England, where for a boat three centuries St. Nicholas full ed to visit households on the evening of Dec. 5 to leave presents for good children. By tbe way. It should be pointed out that Nicholas was noted even In Infancy as a particularly good and ploas child. Therefore his visits are not mode to bad children only to those whose parents can vouch for their good behavior during the previous year. In Austria. Midland and Poland St. Nicholas eve la stUI observed.

MAKES ASTONISHING CTRES. Mi-o-na Tablets Cure Dyspepsia by Promptly Removing the Cause, or Money Hack. I Santa Claus' Vain Sear; The old patron Saini Christmas time can find in all his travel better JmeatJ or pou mart than at Ahlf 8 C Meat'Market. Ml-o-na Is a scientific and effective remedy for the permanent cure of Indigestion. Food Is digested In the stomach by means of a churning movement of the walls of the stomach, which thoroughly mixes the food wlh the gastric or stomach Juices. If tbe muscular walls are flabby and lack tone or energy the stom ach cannot churn the food properly, ana the digestive Juices nre not prop erly mixed with tho food. This causes Indigestion. The common symptoms are: Weight and fullness after meals, coated tongue bad taste n the mouth, discharges of wind from the mouth and belching ot sour material. Dyspepsia cannot be cured by tak lug a dlgestor, such as pepsin, be cause pepsin simply digests your food artificially, and not all of the food, either, for It has no effect at all on starchy food, such as potatoes, rice. oatmeal, bread, etc. There Is Just one way to cure dys pepsia and stomach disorders, triv ial or serious, and that Is to tone up or put energy into the stomach walls so that they will be able to properly mix or churn the food. Mi-o-na tablets cure stomach trou bles by putting strength and energy Into the stomach. They aulcklv arouse the stomach from its inaction and in a short time it Is able to do its work properly. And bear In mind that when the stomach is In good condition, consti pation disappears, also nervousness, drowsiness, night sweats, heartburn, etc. Demaray, the druggist, sells Mi-o-na tablets under a rigid guarantee to do all that is claimed for them, or mouey back.
