In Time of Peace
In the first months of the Russia-
Japan War we had a striking example
of the necessity for preparation and
the early advantage of those who, so
to speak, "have shingled their rools
in dry weather." The virtue of prepar-
ation has made history and given to
us our greatest men. The individual
as well as the nation should be pre-
pared for any emergency. Are von
prepared to successfully combat first
cold you take? A cold can be cured
much more quickly when treated as
soon as it has been contracted and be-
fore It has become settled in the sys-
tem. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is
famous for its cures of colds and it
should be kept at hand ready for in-
stant use. For sale by all druggists.

Innocent Indulgence Often Brings Trouble — C. R
Hiller Offers Means of Escape.
The consequences of violating phy-
sical law are aften as unpleasant as
the breaking of a moral rule. The in-
nocent indulgence of over-eating
brings consequences that amount to
real suffering. Indigestion is not nat-
ural; it is not right it should not be.
C. R. Miller offers a means of escape
in Mi-o-na tablets that is simple and
practical.
These simple tablets are composed
of such valuable medical agents as
bismuth subgallate, which is super-
ior to all other remedies for stomach
troubles, cerium oxalate, and tonics
and correctives which promote the
action of the digestive organs,
strengthen the whole digestive tract,
and makes it possible to eat what you
like and when you like.
Ask C. R. Miller to show you the
guarantee under which he sells Mi-o-
na. It costs nothing unless it cures.
The risk is all his.
