KAISER, WANTS TB : .-,
: VISIT UNITED STATES
BERLIN, Aug. 30. Editorial com
ment is offered today by Vossischo
Zelning upon, the desire which Kaiser
recently expressed to visit the United
States. No reason why such a trip
should be made can be seen by the
newspaper and it attacks the sugges
tion, i It asks what the Kaiser can
.want in America. "He would not see
what makes America great and which
would be an advantage to him to se."'
the-paper v comments, "but he would
be-shown , -palaces and collections and
institutions. The only political result
would be that Americans and perhaps
others would Imagine that the German
empire is so Isolated that its Kaiser
, must go to America, to sue for repub
lic's friendship and alliance." In
view of all these circumstances the
paper expresses the opinion that a
visit by the Kaiser to the United
States cannot be thought of.

SENSIBLE REVIVAL. '
Doctrine That Is Being Preached by
i Best People of Winston-Salem.: -
There are all kinds of revivals, re
ligious,' moral, and temperance, but
today the chief interest seems to be in
a revival for good health, and It seems
to be the Mi-o-na doctrine that has tbe
most adherents In -Winston-Salem.
Wipe out indigestion and stomach
troubles by using Ml-o-na tablets and
most of the misery' and ill health
would be blotted out 'of existence.
Indigestion and stomach weakness
cause headache, backache, nervous
ness, debility, sleeplessness, pains In
the side and limbs, poor appetite and
s general unhealthy state, Take one
little Mi-o-na tablet before each meal
for a few days and you will soon find
that life is filled with Joy and health,
that eating Is a pleasure and food does
not 'cause distress, and that your di
gestive ' organs have become so
strengthened- that you can almost be
credited with the -digestion of an os-
tTlCh. ' ' .'. :;,..r-.
A large dox of Ml-o-na tablets is
sold for 50 cents by O'Hanlon and it is
so successful and reliable in curing
inaigesuon and ait stomach troubles,
with, the exception of cancer-of -the
stomach, that :he sells it under an
absolute guarantee that the . money
will, be refunded unless It does all
that is claimed for It.
