Bitter feeling against United Sta
tes army engineers because of pub

that reports of distress in the flood

EAT A SQUARE 3IEAL AND
NOT FEAR INDIGESTION
There are hundreds of people in
Oxford who are not the least bit sur
prised when they read in the Public
Ledger that J. G. Hall is selling Mi-o-na.
on a guarantee to refund the
money in case it did not relieve. This
remarkable dyspepsia remedy will re
lieve the worst case of indigestion,
headache, dizziness, or the general
played out condition that afflicts ev
ery one suffering with stomach trou
ble. Mi-o-na does not simply relieve
it aims to cure.
J. G. Hall can tell you of many well
known people in this city who this
remedy has restored to health, often
after they have tried many other
methods of treatment with little or
no benefit. No other dyspepsia rem
,edy has made so large a percentage
of cures as Mi-o-na. It is so large
that J. G. Hall 'stands ready to re
fund the price to any customer whom
it does not help.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer, and
there are hundreds in Oxford today
praising Mi-o-na because it does what
it is advertised to do. A few months
ago they could eat nothing without
wondering what the result would be.
Since using Mi-o-na, they eat what
they want and when they want with
no fear of suffering. 19-2 6

CLEANSES YOUR HAIR -MAKES
IT BEAUTIFUL,
THICK, GLOSSY, WAVY
Try This! All Dandruff Disappears
And Hair Stops Coming
Out.
Surely, try a "Danderine Hair
Cleanse" if you wish to immediately
double the beauty of your hair. Just
moisten a cloth with Danderine and
draw it carefully through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time;
this will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt
or amy excessive oil- in a few min
utes you'wll be amazed. Your hair
will be wavy, fluffy and abundant
and possess an incomparable softness,
lustre and luxuriance.
Besides beautifying the hair, one
application of Danderine dissolves
every particle of dandruff; invigor
ates the scalp, stopping itchiing and
falling hair.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. It goes right' to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life
producing properties cause the hair
to grow long, strong and beautiful.
You can surely have pretty, soft,
lustrous hair, and lots of it, if you
will just get a 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any
drug store or toilet counter and try
it as directed.
