Ulcer - Of The
Stomach
Intldlout Nature of The Disease How to
Rtcognize and Curt It. -
Ulcer of the stomach may exi3tfor
years without very marked symptoms,
excepting those caused by indigestion.
In good health, the stomach resists
the action of the gastric juices, but
when weakened, the membrane is bad
ly nourished and the digestive fluids act
upon it as well as upon the food, keep
ing up until perforation of the stomach
occurs. In advanced cases of ulcer of
the stomach there is much' discomfort
after eating, with a constant) gnawing
sensation between meals, pain Irom
the pit of the stomach back to the
shoulder blade.
At the first symptoms of indigestion,
treatment should ..at once be started
with Mi-o-na. This is a scientific rem
edy adapted specifically to one purpose
the cure of stomach troubles. It is so
uniformly successful that F. S. Duffy
gives a signed guarantee with every 50
cent box that the money will be re-
f jnded if it docs not cure.

, . Story.
Mrs. R. Walton of Hornellville, N,
i., says, "Our little daughter was
Ttroubled wild a bad cough which noth
ing seemed to relieve. - We trieddiffer
ent doctors and medicines without ben
efit. The cod liver oil preparation,
Vinol, was recommended, and before
she had taken one bottle her cough had
stopped, and her condition 'greatly im
proved. She now has a splendid appe
tite and is gaining in flesh. I advise
every mother who has an ailing child to
try Vinol. Noth'ng equals it, and it
tastes so good there is no trouble in
getting children to take it."
HELEN WALTON.
Our well known druggist, Mr. F. S
Duffy, says Vinol in a grand medicine
for children, it produces bone, muscle
and rich pure blood. Itis not a patent
medicine, as everything in is is named
on the back label of every bottle; so
parents know exactly what they are
giving their children; it contains in a
highly concentrated form all the cura
tive, medicinal principles of cod liver
oil, but without the nasty oil and chil
dren love its taste. It soon makes puny
ones strong and rosy.
We just wish every mother in New
Bern who has a sick, puny or ailing
child would try Vinol on our guarantee

L Commission to Help
Travelers.
Raleigh, Jan. 16. The case of the
State against Moore and Bunch, charged
with the murder of the watchman at
the plant of the Standard Oil Co., has
been continued, as it cannot be reached
at this term of Wake count Superior
court. It is supposed that the Lillaton
Clark case wi'l consume the remaining
days.
Shortly after 8 o'clock this morning
an alarm of fire was turned in from a
box near the Capital Club, in speedy
response the firemen found the hand
somely appointed building of the Cap
ital Club in flames on the inside. While
the damage may not be accurately
p'.aced, it was estimated that the losses
will reach between eight and ten thou-
sind dollars. The fire had its origin
supposed'y in the basement in the
dumb waiter. It was first discovered
by Mr. Tom Stephenson, who, smelling
the fumes of the burning wood imme
diately gave the alarm. The handsome
wall decorations are completely ruined
and all of the wood work is defaced or
turned throughout more than three-
fourths of the building. Losses are en
tirely covered by insurance. The offi-
;es on the ground floor occupied by the
Southern Railway Company, the Ral
eigh & Pamlico Ry Co., the Merchants
Journal and Norman H. Johnston, At
torney General of the North Carolina
Retail Merchants Association suffered
lamages proportionate with the other,
part of the building. The ruin here
wrought being due to water which
destroyed or injured many files. This
building was e 'ected about eight years
ago at a cost of something more than
$8),00) and is considered one of the
prideful parts of Raleigh. While the
fire had it:-- origin on the east side of
the building, no part of the structure
is unhurt-as the dense smoke and steam
incident thereto has discolored all the
walls, blistered the furniture, broken
the glasses and marred the handsomely
fi'iished wood work The floor of the
ballroom recognized as one of the best
in tiu ;:.t w k.n.eti u; in j-arts by
the firemen, the tlames having pene
trated even to that height. Tiie fire
men made a record breaking fight and
coolness and discretion saved even
greater damages. Very fow members
were in the club rooms at so early an
hour, but such as were rendered able
and immediate assistance. Whilo the
interior damages are great the outer
walls of the building are not affected.
Governor Glenn has been applied to
by the officer who arretted Alt Holland
the Cherokee county man in the Indian
territory for an additional allowance
for the expense incurred in such an ar.
rest. Owing to the fact that the four
hundred dollare reward was supposed
to be deemed sufficient, the governor
will make no euch allowance until it is
passed on by the counsel of State.

Boys Take Notice
For soma time the boys of ,'the town
have used the Presbyterian church
yard as a play ground, and have not
only destroyed some of the trees and
shrubbery but have recently broken
windows and made fires on the grounds,
using church fuel and endangoring the
church property.
The sexton haa repeatedly told thiiu
that it was forbidden to play there and
they have been impertinent and pro
fane to him, and have utterly disre
garded hia requests.
The officers of tho church have taken
action in this matter and if it cannot be
stopped otherwise it will bo regulated
by law.
Parents will please take notice and
keeptheil boys out of tho yard, as if
this nuisance is continued the matter
will be referred to the police and ar
rests will be ms'lo.
