A young woman in Gibson

position as teacher in the public
schools for the purpose of going
as a missionary to Africa. Why
should she go so far when
hicago is so near, where
there are more heathens to the
square yard than there are in
Africa to the twelve square
miles. Strange ideas of mission-!

have.

that home life is the foundation of
all life, and that municpal, State

only as the bome-life is pure.

FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS.
Don't Use Any Remedy That Keeps
Its Formula Secret.
People who are troubled with
stomach weakness cannot afford
to use any remedy unless they
know what it contains.
Mi o-na is not a mere diges
tive giving only temporary re
lief, but a specific for all dis
orders of tbe digestive organs,
and so effects a, permanent cure
for stomach troubles.
Your physician will tell you
that not bin z is better than a
combination of chemically pure
bismuth subgallate to allay any
inflammation of tbe stomach and
bowels; , cerium oxalate, to
strengthen the stomach nerves;
sodium bi Carbonate, which
neutralizes the poisonous acids
that are present in stomach
troubles; and nux vomica,
which will restore vigor to the
digestive organs and tone the
whole nervous system.
This combination is found
only in Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets, and it so rarely fails to
strengthen the digestive system
and cure all forms 01 stomach
disorders, that J, H. Kennedy
& Co. sell the remedy under a
guarantee to refund the money
unless it cures.
If you suffer from indigestion,
distress after eating, specks be
fore the eyes, headaches, pains
in the back and side, emacia
tion, bloating, nervousness,
sleeplessness, or any of the
other symptoms of stomach
troubles, begin the . use of Mi-
o-na stomacn tablets at once.
J. H. Kennedy & Co. sell tbem
in 50c boxes with a guarantee
to tefund money unless they
