THE MI-O-NA TREATMENT
Flesh-F orming Food in Tablet Form
That Increases Flesh-Guaranteed
by G. Gehrinu.

The discovery of Mi-o-na, the remark
able fesh-forming food that builds III
good, healthy. solid flesh and makes thin
ness and scrawniness a thing of the past
has revolutionized medical practice in
certain lines
Its power to do all that is claimed for it
was so clearly proven to G.. Gehring
that he has sold Mi-o-na with the under
standing that if it fails the purchase
price was to be refunded.
G. Gehring certainly exhibited courage
in taking up this method of selling
Mi-o-na, but the results have fully
proven his judgment that the Mi-o-n2
treatment for stomach troubles, emacia-
ton, general weakness and run down
condition is the only efficacious and reli-
able cure.
Mi-o-na possesses healing and soothing
qualities that make it especially valu-
able in cases of chronic indigestion and
dyspepsia. Two or three tablets taken
each day in connection with the regular
food prove it a true flesh former
All that many woman lacks to be
positively pretty is little more flesh on
her face. To look haggard or not fat IS
never becoming. The use OF Mi-o-na Will
cure this defect.
With every soc box of Mi-o-na that
G. Gehring sells he will give written
promise to refund the money if it does
not give an increase in flesh and restore
strength. What a trifing cost this is if
it makes you well: If ii fails. the expense
is absolutely nothing

hour later he will go against the world

REQUEST REFUSED
RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS WILL
NOT RESTRAIN RAILROADS.
Answer to Wichita Wholesalers in
Rate Matter.

The state board of railway commits
sioners has refused the request of the
wholesale companies of Wichita, Hutch
inson, Salina and Arkansas City for an
order reafirmng the commodity rates
to these points. This is done on the
ground that the action could only be
construed as an attempt on the part of
the board to make the rates permanent,
and such a proceeding it believes is be-
yond its power.
a. E. Helm Of this city, attorney for
the wholesalers, in writing the board
requested that the case which was
brought against the railroads by the
wholesalers to prevent the annulling of
the commodity rates, be set for hearing
at the same time as the Wichita coal rate
case, despite the fact that the railroads
have announced the abandonment OF the
proposed change. He said that the
wholesale companies were anxious TO
have the jobbers' rates, granted by the
previous board, reaffirmed by the pres
ent board.
In its reply refusing to hear the case
or to reafffrm the rates, the board said:
1T would seem that the rates now in
force should be satisfactory to your peo
pie as the railroads have fled answers
disclaiming any intention of raising or
changing the rates. In any event. it APP
pears to the board that it would not be
justified in making a ruling in the ma
ture of restraining order prohibiting
the raising or changing of such rates.
when the railroads deny any intention of
taking such a course. The effect of
your request, if granted, would be to
make the rates permanent, and the board
believes it is beyond its power to make
such an order
The suit, which was brought by the
city of Wichita against the railroads.
attacked not only a proposed advance
in coal rates, but the present rates as
well, has not yet been set for hearing.
Mr.. Helm. who is also attorney in this
case, has requested that the case be
heard in Wichita about October 20 and
this may be done.

Nearly every one eats food enough to fur

its power to furnish real nourishment and

his faith in the merit of the article, offers
to sell it with the distinct understanding
that the money is TO be returned in every
case where it fails TO do all that is
claimed for it. You risk nothing in buy
ing Mi-o-na, and if it gives the desired
health the cost is trifing. only soc a box

| MAGNIFICENT STONE
BRIDGE over RIVER
Commissioner RedheId Gives
Facts for Consideration.
"COUNTY SHOULD Do IT"
City Has 0utgrown the Doug
las Avenue Bridge.

County Commissioner J. c. Rediel1
said Yesterday that the heavy traffic over
/ the Douglas avenue bridge keeps wearing
/ out the floor and that the bridge is fast
becoming worthless. He says that the
people of the city should begin to think
about a new bridge.
! The chairman of the county board is
/ noted for his effort at economy and saw
/ ing the funds of the people, and when he
! begins to talk about a new bridge, other
! people will conclude that it is time 70
! build it. Mr.. Redfeld says that he is in
favor of the county building the bridge.
and his reasons for that will give a little
information that good many people
! never thought OF.
He says that every year a bridge tax is
levied by the county commissioners and
the money is used to build bridges over
the county. He says Wichita pays about
one-half of this tax and then builds her
own bridges in the city. The Douglas
avenue bridge belongs to the county, but
Mr. Redheld says the county commits
sioners could any day turn it over to the
He is not only opposed to turning it
over to the city, but is in favor 'of the
county building a good bridge with stone
piers and arches and then have the
bridge paved with asphalt so that it Will
correspond with the paved street. He
was at Topeka and inspected the new
bridge there He says it is 600 feet long
and cost about $3.50 900. The bridge over
the Big river on Douglas avenue would
have to be about 500 feet long, and il
would probably cost a little less than
the Topeka bridge.
Mr.. Redfield says that the Topeka
bridge is constructed with steel and the
frames filled in with cement so that the
bridge has the appearance of having
been built entirely of cement. Some of
the officers told him it cost more than a
stone bridge He thinks the city might
have the city engineer make estimates
of the cost of a stone bridge and then
they could go before the next legisla-
ture and get a law passed to allow the
county commissioners to create a fund
for building the bridge.
He says the people are UP against this
proposition, and that they might as well
now begin to figure how they are going
to get the bridge. He is satisfied that
the farmers would not object to the
county building the bridge, because a
large number of them on the west side
of the river are interested in having
good bridge over the Big river. He
thinks that Wichita and the west side of
the county have both out-grown the pres
ent Douglas avenue bridge, and that
stone bridge, with paved floor to CORE
spond with the paved street would make
vast difference in the appearance of
the city. The present bridge in the very
business center of the city, he says, is
behind the times and ought 10 be Sc
placed with a new stone structure that
would be a credit to the city and the
county. He believes a proposition of that
kind submitted to vote of the people
of the county would be carried by Il
large majority.
