NOTHING BUT LONG STAPLE IS GROWN Troy Holder Plants it to Exclu sion of Others. IN HONOR PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Nearly Three Score Years Old But Will Show the Young Man From the White House What Real Energy and Aquatic Skill Mean. ST. LOUIS, MO., Sept 28. (Spec ial)—Mrs. Lina Brandenburger, nearly three score years of age and a grandmother, Is among the entries received by the Missouri Athletic club for Its ten miles swimming race to be held In the Mississippi next Wednesday, on the occasion of Pres ident Roosevelt's visit. She Is 57, and the mother of a prominent young physician of St. Louis. Despite her age and sex, her muscular development is wonderful and It is possible that she will give some of the young athletes of the club a hard tussle for the first hon ors In the swim. ) Five years ago Mrs. Brandenburg was almost an invalid, and took up swimming to benefit her health, on the advice of her son. Now she is able to swim for hours at a stretch, without becoming tired or exhausted, and believes that she can finish -the ten mile course without any trouble. Mrs. Brandenburg declares that since she took up swimming she has enjoy ed the best of health and feels more like a girl of 20 than an old woman of 57. Mr. Troy Holder, one of the repres entatlve citizens of Stewart county and large planter, was among the visitors in Amerlcus yesterday. Speak ing of crop conditions in his prosper- out county, Mr. Holder said that not a few farmers were turning attention to long staple cotton. He has plant ed It for several years, and so well pleased Is he with results that the en tire cotton crop on hts plantation this year Is long staple varieties, and the crop Is a good one too. Mr. Hold er jselts his long staple cotton for fifty per cent, greater price than the short staple brings, and as the yield Is as much per acre the wisdom of his plan of planting Is quite appar< ent.

A few years ago, when a sufferer from indigestion went to a stomach specialist, the result was a rigid diet list that almost meant starvation. But the first thing to do In the case of indigestion or stomach weakness Is to strengthen the musuclar walls of the' stomach and intestines, so that they will care for the food that is eaten.! In no nother way can this be done as well as by taking Ml-o-na tablets before each meal. This restores strength to the stom ach muscles and stimulates the pour ing out of gastric Juices, so that the food is digested readily and Its nuor- lshment retained In the system to build up energy and vitality. Do not think the sick headache, heartburn, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, spots before the eyes, sleeplessness and the many other symptoms that are the direct result of Indigestion, will go away of themsel ves. The stomach must be built up and strengthened by Ml-o-na before you can be well and strong, free from suffering and distress. , The guarantee that Dodson's Phar macy gives with every 50-cent box of Ml-o-na, to refund the money unless the remedy cures, shows their confi' NEW YORK, Sept. 28.

Poole owns a tract of four acres good land Just beyond East Amerlcus and upon this he de monstrated fully what can be done by careful cultivation. In June last he harvested a crop of five hundred bushels oats from bis four acre patch, and nfterwards sowed it broadcast in peas for hay. This crop Is now being harvested and will yield seven ty-five wagonloads of finest peavlne hay. Thus, two profitable crops, are gathered from the land In a season.

St. Michael’s, which Is located Amsterdam avenue and Ninety-Ninth street, came suddenly Into existence In 1807, to meet an emergency. Per sons of wealth built homes in Bloom lngdale—country homes, they were were then—and went in their car riages dally to business and on Sun days to church in the Wall street dls trlct. Yellow fever broke out In the down town district und the evolution of the scare resulted In the building of a house of worship In the Immed iate neighborhood of the homes In the Bloomlngdale district. Under the floor of the present church are burled members of some of the oldest and best known families of the New York of the early nine- teenth century. Much of the church's distinction Is due to the re markable personalities of two of Its rectors, the Rev. Thomas H. Peters and his son, the Rev. Dr. John. P. Peters,,, the present rector. At a time when there was no other churches,, of any denomination, In the upper west side. It was the Idea of the elder Dr. Peters that he was tfie missionary to that entire district If there were any sick, St. Michael's must care for them. The dead were buried at the expense of the congre gation whenever the family of the de ceased was too poor to meet the ex pense. No distinction was made as to creed, and Catholics and Metbo- odlsts were often seen kneeling side by side at St. Michael's alter rail. In pursuance of the charitable policy of the rector, the “Sheltering Arms” was founded by the parish, and its Industrial home has become famous throughout the country.
