Anyone whose food does not digest as 1t ought, who has to take thought about when and what to eat, should take advantage of this generous offer of MT. Fowler.
 Mi-o-na Is almost invariably success ful In curing stomach trouble of all kinds, from an acute attack of indiges- tion to a chronic case of dyspepsia. By its use new rich blood is made, the weight increased and health restored
 If Mi-o-na were not successful in 99 cases out of 100, an offer like this would be ruinous. This offer shows the great faith Mir. Fowler has in the health giving powers of Mi-o-na and you should begin its use at once. Try it for month anyway. If it fails to help you. the cost is absolutely nothing. while if it does what Is claimed for it, the expense is trifiing. nov 1928, 2S.

PATTEN DOES ELIZA STUNT
AND ELUDEs HIS PURsUER s

Edward Patten. whom the police
chased across the Mississippi in row
boats yesterday afternoon, still is at
large, having reached the. Iowa shore
before he could be cvertaken.
Patten left his boat when $50 feet
from the south shore of Grand Isle.
Officer Henry Thode and eX-Onicer
William Fcrliel. after Il stormy voy-
age. landed shortly behind him. but
declined to take chances i'm doing the
Eliza stunt.
Pattcn waited until the boat bear
ing his pursuers reached the shore ice
and held conversation with them. He
was given friendly talk by Officer
Tho,le, but refused To- surrender. He
could have been reached with a bullet.
but such desperate measures were he
lieycd Unnecessary. as it would be
only a matter of Il short while until
he was captured.
Ferkel tried to follow Patten. but
his foot slipped when u short distance
from the sliff and be dropped into the
water up to his waist. Presently an
other boat with Officer Dennis Nc
Carthy and Detective Dick Carnes was
sighted in the northeast. They appar-
! emily were making for the north side
of the island. Pattcn saw the game
was to surround him and he took to
the woods.
ThoGe and FerllCl returned to Rock
Island and telephoned the keeper at
the island. who is vested with police
authority by the government. to
watch for Patten. Presently a teIe-
phone message was received from the
island announcing that Patten had cs-
capeI across the ice ON the north side
of the island and had reached Iowa
territory.
The river between the island and
the Iowa shore is filled with floating
ice. and how Patten got across with

was entitled To his liberty. y search
