FOR INDIGESTION

r. F. Fendig Has a Remedy That He Gnarantees to Promptly Relieve All Stomach Distress. People go on suffering from littlestomach troubles for years and imagine they have a serious disease. They over eat or over drink and force on the stomach a lot of extra work. But they never think that the stomach needs extra help to do extra work. If these people would take a Mi-o-na tablet with or after meals it would be a great big help to the stomach in its strain of overwork. Mi-o-na tablets help your tired out stomach to do its work and banishes the cause. No matter what you eat or drink Mi-o-na tablets will sweeten your tour stomach and stop gas belching in 10 minutes. The heaviness disappears and the stomach.is greatly tided in its work of digestion. And Mi-o-na not only promptly relieves all distress but if taken regularly will absolutely cure indigestion by buillding up the flabby overworked walls of the stomach and making them strong enough to digest the most hearty meal. B. F. Fendig sells and guarantees Mi-o-na. The price is 60 cents a large box. Y 8

RELATIONS-IN-LAW OF BRIDES.

Nervous Strain From the Obligation to Meet Husband’s Relatives. There have been fortunate brides, and it is to be hoped there will continue to be, who have never known the nervous strain resulting from the obligation to meet their husband’s relatives. Not until their marriage became an old story did this experience come to them, if at aIL Those who have gone through an ordeal in the way of such experience consider such cases extremely enviable and rare. The brides, however, who are most to be pitied are they who on their wedding tour have husbands who are daft about having their wives meet their “in-laws,” of all ages and conditions, while on their wedding journey. Precious days have to be sacrificed to these “duty visits.” Brides take no such views of husbands in connection with their own blood relatives. On the contrary, they are more apt to resort to various means to shirk the request, if made, and are not at all given to pleasing their own folk by showing off the men they have chosen for their husbands. Brides look upon their own kin folk as creatures to be put off, cajoled, imposed upon and affronted in extremity. Yet, in spite of it all, there will exist a feeling of confidence in a future peace-making when they are ready to take steps toward it. “In-laws” are quite another proposition to them. Tom or Harry’s wife is, to their notion, usually a part of their property, no matter how delicately they may convey the idea or disguise it under cover of kindnesses and courtesies. Intuitively brides feel this and very soon become convinced of it. Therein lies the secret of their sudden revolts and defiances on unexpected occasions and the chip-on-the-shoulder attitude they often maintain. The “in-laws,” on their part, each have a way of building up an ideal bride, whenever there is a new one on the tapis. She is expected to resemble the one they had picked out for Tom—the family idol. From the moment his wife came into their presence the process went on of fitting the bride into their visionary creation. This keeps them constantly on the alert. They scent the air for a false note and watch continually to discover her defects, while their critical faculties, newly sharpened for this examination and comparison, absorb their attention from morning until night. How is she affected? What of her? She, too, is bent upon “in-law” investigations, but so prejudiced is sbfc against the various members of the family, very often, that she cannot do any one of them justice. As a general thing such family criticisms, inspections and meetings are most unsatisfactory to both sides, so far as the forming of good opinions and life friendships are concerned. It will take years of character tests in the future to bring about that desired end. Brides are also apt to fall back upon their family traditions or take up tne modern coaching and assume a fixed pose on occasion where "in-laws” have to be made up to. They are very often advised, on visiting such relations, to be entirely, subjective, to show but very little individuality, if they have any at all, and never to introduce family topics in conversation, or dictate, or argue, lest they tread on the family sensibilities. They are to pass over and ignore whatever may be said or done that in any way should lean toward a misunderstanding. They must be extremely amiable under all circumstances and act as if they were assured of the affection and esteem; if not positive admiration, of every member of the household. Tom, of course, takes everything for granted and is in a continually blissful state over his bride’s winning ways and the speed with which she has captivated his uncles, aunts and cousins, to the furthest remove of kinship. In the brief moments they have to themselves he tells her that she alone, in all the world, could have made such a triumph from start to finish and perfected his entire happiness. But the bride’s vision is too clear not to see that she and the “inlaws” are as far apart as ever; that their customs and habits would never fit into hers, nor their views of men and things ever harmonize with those she holds. At last the hour is welcomed, unconsciously in a way, when trunk packing and farewells form a prelude to departure. Tom’s family were more or less hysterical in the fuss they made over the departing guests, waving handkerchiefs as they stood and gazed at the handsome motor as it was swung down the road In the far distance.

Water Drinking.

Free water drinking is an essential to vitality and'to the development of staying power. All the operations of the body, digestion, assimilation, absorption, elimination of poisonous waste and so on, are carried on by means of water; and an insufficient amount of water in the system means embarrassment of every function. The body of a man of average weight contalas more than half a barrel of water, and such a body needs for its proper operation at least two quarts dally of pure water. In this connection, It may not be Irrelevant to mention that the Japanese soldiers, whose surprising powers are now engaging the admiration of the world, consume each between two and four gallons of water daily.—W. R. G. Latson, M. D., In the Outing Magazine. -

TOO HIGH FOR A START.

Embarrassing Situation Believed bj a Beady Man. N. C. Goodwin, the comedian enjoys telling of an amusing incident at -the performance of a burlesque In which In the old days he was a principal performer. It seems that a young woman, well known in Buffalo for her am ieur work, had been given an oportunlty to prove her claim, to avaiHblltty on the professional stage. She was billed to render a song, the re», frain of which was, “The autumn days have come; ten thousand leaves are falling.” The aspirant for professional honors was in so extreme a state of exdtment that she took too high a key, "Ten thou-ou-sand— ’’ she screamed, and then stopped short, f<i>r want of breath. “At this critical Juncture,” observes Goodwin, “some irresponsible ‘god’ in the gallery, perhaps an auctioneer by calling, shouted in a stentorian tone: “Start it at five thousand, old girl! Start it at five thousand I’ ”

Change of Heart.

An elderly professor who had grown weary of the bachelor state determined to marry and asked a lady whom he had known for a long time to be his wife. The question was a surprise to hqr and her answer was a confused “No.” On reflection, however, she reconsidered the matter, and the next time she met the professor she said to him. “By the way, Professor , do you remember that question you asked me the other day?” The professor replied that he did. “Well,” she went on, “I’ve been thinking over the answer I gave, and I’ve changed my mind.” “So have I,” replied the professor. —Harper’s Weekly.

Two Dogs.

I do not like my neighbor’s dog. Wero I to size him up, One brief phrase would express It all: "A most ill mannered pup.” He’s vicious, and he has no sense, He even barks at me; And yet my neighbor seems to think There’s no such dog as he. Now, my dog, on the other hand— I’m very fond of him. He’s really gentle as a lamb, Although he looks so grim. And yet my neighbor falls to see His keen intelligence. “Your dog,” he says, “Is vicious, and He hasn’t any sense.” Somerville Journal.

Wanted to Get Even.

A correspondent sends us the following extract from the pious petition of a good old colored brother In a Georgia settlement: “Lawd, we wants a blessin’ fer ever’ one, ’cept one; en dat one Is a yaller nigger, what boarded de railroad train, en runned off wld de whole collection what wuz took up ter pay my salary wld; Lawd, please make de train Jump de track —don’t hurt de yuther passengers, but take off one leg sum dat nigger.”

She had even learned some Russian And a little Portuguese; As for Swedish, she could leel it Off as easy as you please. And her lucky husband daily, With a joy that was sublime, Thanked the Lord that she could only Speak in one tongue at a time. —Chicago Record-Herald.

She Had It.

A young clergyman doing his holiday shopping In a New York department store, asked, at the book department, for Carolyn Wells’ new collection of parodies by well-known writers. “Have yofl ‘A Parody Anthology?' he inquired of the young sales woman. “I think we have,’’ she replied, glancing at his clerical garb. Turning to another clerk she asked: “Have we got “A Parody on Theology?’ ’ —Town and Country.

She is Full of Blood.

Not long ago a German gardener, who lives a couple of miles south of the city, bought a cow which, the seller told him, was a full-blooded Jersey. Last week the cow strayed away from her owner’s pasture and was lost. The next day the following sign was nailed to a tree near the gardener’s home: “Lost—From the basture avay. Von Chersey cow, full of blood. Revart shall be bald. Fritz.”—Kansas City Star.

Idaville’s Skunk Farm Raises Injunction Talk.

Not long ago Editor Foster of the Idaville Observer announced, with a parenthetical exhortation to his readers not to giggle, that Robert Baker was going to start a skunk farm in that neighborhood. It seems that the announcement was straight goods, but some of the neighbors were in no giggling mood about it. As they got their olfactories in tune they scented trouble and began to talk about enjoining Baker and his skunk farm. Notwithstanding Mr. Baker’s assurance to the contrary they fear that ' skunks cannot be harbored year in and year out without creating an odor that will make life anything but pleasant in the neighborhood. Nevertheless there are skunk farms in actual operation, and they are said to be profitable. Mr. Baker counts on raising 1,000 skunks per. year on his five-acre farm and has contracted for machinery to extract the oil. From hides and oil he expects to realize about $2,000 a year from his crop of 1,000 skunks.

Limburger Cheese Cost Him $150 Before Smell Was Located.

Tom Mauger, proprietor of the Indiana Harbor Express company, bought a piece of limburger cheese. It cost him $l5O before he was through with it. Mauger’s wife refused to tolerate It in the house, and so he tied it to a nail outside the house and the hot weather did the rest. Mauger forgot about the cheese and his wife told him that there was something wrong with the plumbing. He employed a plumber and in searching through the pipes for defects In sewerage the plumber practically wrecked the house. Then Mauger remembered the cheese and the cause of the smell, and the plumbing and other bills amounted to $150.75.

He is doing much of the farming himself; all of it is done upder his personal supervision. There are no buildings on his place—not yet, but there will be In due course of time.

A Western editor has received the following unique letter: “Send me a few copies of the papers that have the obituary and verse about the death of my child a week or so ago.
