eve Will Buy It Back"

1t is natural for people to doubt, but
when F. S. Williams & Co. frankly offer
to buy back any empty boxes when Milo
ma fails to restore health and increase the
weight. and return the full amount of
money paid. it silences the doubters and
they cannot help but feel that Mi-o-na Is
an unusual and remarkable preparation.
Used for little while this flesh-forming
food will show that 1t actually furnishes
real nourishment, regulates digestion and
increases weight.
Every one who is thin, weak and out of
health should begin the use of Mi-o-na
on these terms, for it costs absolutely
nothing unless 1t makes you well.

vigilant Seeking Marine Railway.

Harbor Master Sutton has been trying
for the past two or three weeks to get the
harbor police boat yigilant upon a marine
railway to have her ice-breaking plow re-
moved but the railways are all so busy
that 1t has been found impossible to do So
1t was determined yesterday to remove the
plow without the aid of railway, so the
tug was run into the shoal water adjoining
the new wharf of the morgue and the pillow
was removed by the crew of the boat.
The ice breaker will be allowed to lie
in the shoal water where 1t was removed
until it is needed next winter. The Vigilant
will be hauled out as soon as a railway can
be obtained to have her broken propeller
replaced with new one.
