Means Good Health, Cheerfulness, Ambition, Persistency and Success. Mi-o-na will cure your dyspepsia or any other stomach trouble by building up the flabby walls, and making the stomach so strong that it will digest food without pepsin or other artificial aid. In other words, Mi-o-na cures dyspepsia by removing the cause. B. F. Fendig is the agent for Mi-o-na in Rensselaer and he says to every reader of The Democrat, whose stoniach is weak, who has indigestion or dyspepsia, that Mi-o-na is guaranteed to cure or Money back. The pride Is only 50 cents a large box, and one box is all you need to prove that you are on the right road to health and happiness. "I can’t say enough for Ml-o-na tablets; they have done more for me in one week than all the doctors have for the two years I have been under their care, and I will do all I can to recommend it to my friends. You can also use my name in your ad. if you like, for Mi-o-na is better than gold to me. 1 am like a new man, and am able ‘o work once more for the first time in over a year.”—W.

Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil it the means of life and enjoyment of life to thousands: men, women and -ttlwJl children. When appetite fails, it restores it. When food is a burden, it lifts the burden. When you lose flesh, it brings the plumpness of health. When work is hard and duty is heavy, it makes life bright. It is the thin edge of the wedge; the thick end Is food. But what is the use of food when you hate it and can’t digest it? Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the food that makes you forget your stomach. BCOTrABOWNB,4WPMfit.NcwY«t

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Linen Napkin Rings. i Napkin rings of linen are preferable to silver ones for everyday use, for they can be kept sweet and dainty, a piece of linen should be folded double, making a width of about three inches, the piece to be as long as is necessary to fasten around the napkin. The linen should be tine and white. Embroider a monogram on the linen. Work a buttonhole In one end, which should be pointed, and sew a pretty pearl button on the other. The edges may bo bound or merely turned In and stitched on the machine, or they may be basted and then featherstitched. The work is prettier when done In white, and thq monogram should be padded wen.

Maying Pale Lips Rod. Pale lips are a sign that their owner does not get enough fresh air. Deep breathing will send the color to the lips and make them red. Do not bite the lips to make them red, for the effects of this will be only temporary* and in the long ran will make them coarse, sore and colorless. Massaging the lips with cold cream wUI stimulate their circulation and make them red. A favorite little trick that has all the desired results is to massage the lips with rosewater and glycerin and a soft camel’s hair brush until tbley fairly tingle and glow. This will make them firm and red.

Jerusalem Pudding. Btlr into one pint of heavy cream that has been whipped stiff a half package of gelatin which has- been soaked for a half hour in one cup cold water, then dissolved over the kettle. Add one-half cup pulverized sugar, one-half cup boiled rice, one-quarter cup chopped figs, one teaspoonful vanilla and preserved ginger and hickory or almond nut meats to taste. Mold and allow It to become 'perfectly chilled. Serve in high glasses with candied cocoanut balls and candled ginger. Set the glasses on a plate with • dolly between glass and plate. Improved Cake Cutter. Among recent improvements In kitche'n appliances is a cake cutter especially adapted to the cutting of doughnuts, lady fingers and similar small cakes. As shown in the accompanying illustration, this device is arranged to cut the cakes in uniform length, width

and thickness, so that but a minimum amount of dough will be left to be worked over the second time. It is also arranged to leave the cakes upon the dough board. Cleaning Furniture. First the wood should be washed o£l With tepid suds, the soap used being a good white polisher. Never be afraid to wasli a wooden surface. Much is gained and no harm is done. A polish mnst then be prepared of equal parts of turpentine and crude oil or equal parts of alcohol, olive oil and vinegar. White spots may be removed with a few drops of alcohol on a clean cloth. Holding a’ hot iron over the spot is also a good way to remedy it, but it is apt to slightly Injure the varnish. A good bath with gasoline Is also helpful to every piece of furniture. Care of House Plants. J)on’t be afraid to scrub the plants brought In for the winter. With a brash, water, soap and an Infusion of tobacco every leaf and stem should be ■ctubbed to remove Insects, after which rinse thoroughly. A frequent drenching and occasional meals of flower! food will make up to the plants for the loss of outdoor life, and they will repay with vigorous growth and bloom during the winter months. Spruce Beer. A good recipe for white spruce beer calls for three pounds loaf sugar, five gallons of water, essence of spruce to taste, a cupful good yeast and a little lemon peel. Add sugar and essence to boiling water. When cooled to lukewarm add yeast and ret aside to ferment. Skim frequently while fermenting and when it becomes languid In two days or so put in stone bottles and seal. , Deviled Chestnuts. Take a pint of chestnuts, two ounces of butter, one-half teaspoonful of salt • pinch of cayenne pepper. Shell and boll the niits until they are tender. Dry them, melt the butter, and when It Is hot put in the ntlts, tossing them continuously over the fire until they are a golden color. Sprinkle them with salt and cayenne before serving Fer Sallow ComplexioA A corrective for sallowness Is sometimes found in wiping the skin with a lotion of two drams of iodide of potassium, an ounce of glycerin and a pint of rainwater. Apply with a little | sponge several Mmes a day and at night, letting ft «dry no.

Every place he stops he picks up a new story to tell at the next station, and Tom Marshall’s yarns are repeated from Peru to Posey county and from Terre Haute to Fort Wayne. Good Story on the Governor-Elect. On one of these periodical railroad “Jogs,” as he terms them, the train stopped at every station for 100 miles across the northern part of the state, at the rate of a mile a station. A woman who had l>een much Interested in the understanding which seemed to exist between Hie conductor and engineer turned in her seat to find- herself face to face .with the present newly elected governor. "Excuse me. sir,” she said, “but could you tell me what the conductor means when he sticks his arms up like that to somebody up ahead there?” He Informs • Woman. "That's the conductor's way of telling the engineer what be thinks of him." responded the lawyer. “He is wiying in arm language: ‘You longlegged, freMile-facek loqreared. homely galoot, go ahead.” "Thsnk you.” said the woman, turning back to her original position. When Lawyer Marshal} reached bis station he felt tliat he had been rude to the woman, and as he got up to go out he Ptopped at her side and said: Woman Gets More'n Even. "Sorry I spoke to you the way 1 did. You don’t know me, perhai>s, but my name is Tom Marshall, and 1 have to live tsp to a reputation as a humorist.” Saying never a word, the woman reached oat her arm and gave him the conductor's signal to go ahead, and Tom went ahead.

Humor and philosophy

By DUNCAN M. SMITH

COSTS MONEY. I’d like to be eccentric, To have the people say, “There goes the oddest mortal You'll meet in many a day.” To be considered different , Would splendid be, I'msure, '■ But honors of that nature Don't come round to the poor. It’s all right for a genius Or some one of that sort. Backed by a wealthy uncle, * To have that kind of sport. Were I to play eccentric In garments, food or talk X fear the boss would tell me That I could take a walk. * If we have nothing better. Old clothes are not the brand Of intellect and kinship With those who understand., The hallmarks then of labor Appear these garments frayed. And some one will invite us To get a pick and spade. 'Td like to be eccentric. To wear a home patched suit. To talk in language mystio And live on nuts and fruit. To scorn the law of custom And let my whiskers grow; But, oh, my case is hopeless! I haven't got the dough.

NOT A HERO.

Frances had been arguing and tyl silenced her opponent stood leaning against the stone of the tower waiting her pleasure to remove from the scene of contest But her line of thought held her fast, or perhaps the beauty of the Belgian landscape would sot release her. At all events, she did not move, and he waited. Finally he ventured to suggest “Won’t your Aunt Laura be tired ofwaltlng?" She turned her eyes from the brown Scheldt flowing below as she answered carelessly: "Aunt Laura? Oh, she doesn’t mind! She preferred to let’ll come up without her. She adores th * cathedral, and It Isn’t time to be hunry” Ben Ripley had been in Antwerp four hours, three of which be had spent with Frances Deere, and for at least an hour the two had been on the cathedral tower engaged in the argument already mentioned. Ben had asked where Frances meant to spend the winter. It was a natural question, for they had been neighbors and friends at home in America. Even when he was at college there were vacations, and she continued to be a gery warm friend. So did he. except In the inter vals when, having become too warm, he was obliged to undergo a cooling process. Her she said, would be One of hard study. Aunt Laura would select masters for her.' and she would work at art. music, languages—anything to keep busy. Then he began to argue that she was all wrong. She ought to go home to her mother and not waste her youth (she laughed scornfully) and her beauty (she smiled proudly). Then she asked him why be lived on Banbury road and studied mathematics at Oxford Instead of go Ing into business with his father in New York. He answered that he wasn't worth considering, that she was the only person In the world worth talking about, and the climax of his whole argument was that she should go back to America engaged to him and wait for the. glorious life they would begin together next year, when ttaphad taken his doctor’s degree. But she was relentless and wouldn't even attempt to answer his questions whether she cared for him at all. Sfep grew a little Impatient and said be ought to sec that she couldn’t think about such things; she was Interested In carrying on her studies and In nothing else. Finally he said he supposed ■he expected him to start back for Oxford that night—and wanted to be contradicted. But she agreed that it would be the most sensible thing to do. So It had all ended, and she had become absorbed in the landscape and forgetful of him until he mentioned Aunt Laura, and they started down the tower. Ben was three or four steps •bead two-thirds of the way down when, he heard a stumble. Frances had caught her foot In her dress and fallen. He had just time to brace himself with an arm against either wall when she slid down upon him. , “Get your footing quick and don’t faint,” be said. I "I’m not going to faint," she answered, “and I am quite myself except that my hat is crooked—not that it matters in the dark,” Slowly he dropped his arms, and she passed on before him. As they came out into the light he motioned to a carriage crossing the narrow court. 1 "There isq’t a moment to lose,” he explained, ."if I am going to get my boat. You are sure you are not hurt?” “Perfectly sound. Did I frighten you?” “Well, yes; it didn’t seem exactly ■ate for either of us to have you come tumbling down on top of me. But 1 must go. 1 'shall see you again someday, Frances.” Stomebow got the cathedral door open for her, an umbrella, took off his hat, pressed her hand and entered the carriage. She couldn’t fol low bis movement: she only felt his eyes resting on her as if they could not turn away till the narrow sidedoor closed Itehind her. After a few minutes Frances found! her aunt, and they left the cathedral. ‘Where is Ben?” Aunt Laura asked. “Gone to England to do his work as: a boy should, and we are going to Brussels tonight.” Aunt Taura gave a little sigh. Ito Is hard to be patient with youth’s perversity In bringing trouble upon Itself. The next day the two sat at a table In a small patisserie near the top off the Montagu de to Tour waiting for chocolate. Frances was struggling With the Rotterdam daily paper. It was hard work to make any sense off the queer language, but suddenly she■topped, appalled, at a sentence shefancied site understood. Am accident to the Antwerp-Harwich boat aud. somor thing too Dutch tor comprehension had happened to the passengers. “Aunt Laura, order the cakes, dear, and I’M be back soon, rm going tn get a Christian paper.” And' Frances stepped into ttfe-street. with visions of bursting boilers, enveloping waves and fires sea and! in the midst a strong, ■miilug white /ace with pleading i brown eyes A low carriage was just creeping up the almost impossible hill, and in It sat the owner of the strong face and the ■mile, but somehow the brown eyes bad ceased to be suppliants and turned conquerors In the brightness of theBrussels morning. He- waa before her. her rejected lover, who- had saved her yesterday from, a broken crown and today from a. broken heart. “Oh, Ben. I thought you were drowned!" she said in a voice he hnd never beard before. He sprang out of the carriage, and joyously they mounted; the hill toigotbor. ' '
