THE PATTON COURIER, MARCH 16, os
Eat What
Pont Starve or Det, Hal Use Miconn and
Cure Your Stomach Troubles,
The average treatment of stomach
troubles consists of a rigid diet list,
which often half starves the patient,
Of course it would be foolish for any-
one who knows that some foods are
tively harmful and poisonous to
continue eating them, even while fol-
lowing the Mi.o-na treatment, but in
ordinary cases of stomach troubles it
i# not necessary to starve or diet if
Mi-o-na is faithfully used, a tablet be-
fore each meal,
This scientific remedy, for the cure
of stomach troubles, acts upon the
whole digestive system, and strength-
_ ens the organs so that they are able to
digest any food that is eaten without
fear of distress.
0. F. Wolf has so much coufidence
in the power of Mi-o-na to cure stom-
ach troubles and resulting ills, that he
gives a guarantee with every 50 cent
box to refund the money unless it
cures. '
Macha ureat In His Own Way,
They tell a story about John Sher
man and Bob Fitzsimmons, the prize
fighter. During his triumphal tour aft-
or he had downed Corbett the great
gladiator was in Washington and
called at the state department. Then
. WAS seen a contest between brain and
brawn, head and hands. Fitzsimmons
Jonked sheepish and ill at ease, but Mr.
_ Bherman evidently tried to make him
feel at home.

r. Fitzsimmons scrutinized the

“The United States is a fine country,
your honor,” and backed out of the
ice, responding with short, sharp

. The Song of the Yukon River,
“There is something peculiar about
the Yukon river that I have never
| heara of in connection with any other
| stream,” said Captain Gray, who has
been running boats on the big Alaska
artery. “From the mouth of the Yukon
up as far as there is any navigable
| water the stream iv constantly sing-
dng. No matter where you are, there
i8 a sound like that made by escaping
steam. At first 1 used to think that
maybe it came from the boiler or en-
fines, “But when we were tied up at
ght, with everything ‘cold, the sound
‘was the same. I have puzzled my
brain to find an explanation of the
phenomenon, but without avail. The
singing goes on day and night.
“When you get up stream some dis-
tance, you can also hear the rocks
rolling over the bed of the river, and
this produces a most peculiar sound.”

The Average Lawsuit,
There Is nothing more ridiculous than
he avernge lawsuit. Two men dispute
over a few dollars and go to law, Both
are sure to lose. Their neighbors are
dragged In as witnesses, and the costs
dispute, Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start guarrvels that
last for years. Some men claim It is
“principle” that actuates them in these
lawsuits. It is bullheadedness, pure
and simple. It is nearly always easy
to “split the difference.”
Another had feature about these law-
sults is that the county is put to con
siderable expense, and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury.
Bettle your disputes without going te
law. If the man with whom you are
disputing is not willing to “split the
difference,” he will probably accept 8
propositicn to leave it to three neigh

Custom Influences Language.
Pomologists, like botanists, find it
impossible to enforce the rules of prior
ity in names of fruite and flowers. In
fruits the names of Bartlett for a peas
and Telegraph for a grape have not
been changed in spite of the efforts of
leading pomologists and pomological
societies to support prior names. Those
who lead in these good efforts forget
that the only law for language is the
law of custom. Ib a famous grammar
we are told “the English language re
quires the pronoun ‘it’ for all inani-
mate objects,” but custom has so firmly
made the sun a he and the moon a she
that we have accept it. Thus it will
ever be. To secure the adoption of a
prior name reformers must bestis
their selves before custom gets posses
siov of the field.-~Meehan's Monthly.

it with provisions. The weather was

stuck n the ice half a mile from the
knoll. Dorr left the boat and started
aver the ice.
When he reached the lighthouse, he
was warmly greeted. “Come in the
dining room,” said the keeper's wife
after the rescuer had warmed himself
“Come in and have dinner with us.”
Mr. Dorr thought that hunger had
made her mad. “I heard that you
needed food,” stammered Mr. Dorr as
soon as he could speak.

the housewife, “we do. We have plen-
