D. c. Fowler Has simple Remedy That Is Guaranteed to Cure the Trouble.
 No one word better expresses the condition of the sufferer from weak stomach or indigestion than "mis- cry" The stomach Is weak and can- not digest the food, so that there is no appetite. there are pains and griping in the stomach and bowels, the head and back ache, and the misery goes to ev- cry organ.
 Strengthen the stomach and the di- gestiva system by the use of Mt-o-na. This is the only stomach remedy known that gives relief by strengthening the stomach and, digestive organs It is this principle that makes 1t certain cure for indigestion. Other medicines may give temporary relief by helping digest the food. but they do not strengthen the stomach, and that or- gan gets weaker and weaker all the time.
 E. G. Fowler, the reliable retail druggist, has so much confidence in this remarkable remedy that he guar antees a cure, or the money will be re- funded. Mi-o-na costs but 50 cents box. Ask to see the strong guarantee given with every box.
 Mi-o-na is in tablet form and should be taken before each meal Other rem- edies for stomach troubles and indi- gestion are taken after the meal, and decompose the good food you eat, but Mi-o-pa used before eating strength ems the stomach, soothes and heals all irritation and inflammation. enriches the blood. and puts the stomach in such a healthy condition that 1t will take care of the food itself and there will be no pain and suffering.

TRANSFER OF TRACTION COMPANY
 POPERTY TO-DAY.
R. ID. ApDersOn of Virginia, VIII As- sume Its Management and is in Sympathy With the Baseball
 Interests.

R. D. Apperson, of Lynchburg, Va, and associates will today assume control of the Montgomery Traction Company.
 MT. Apperson reached Montgomery yesterday from his home in Lynchburg. He remained in consultation with his attorney, Ray Rushton, until late last night, when it was announced by Mir. Rushton that unless some unforeseen difficulty arises, MT. Apperson and his associates will assume control of the property by order of the United States Court for the Middle District of Ala bama.
 It will be remembered that about three weeks ago a bill was filed in the United States Court by the North Amer ican Trust Company alleging that the Traction Company had failed to meet requirements of a deed of trust in that 1t had not paid the interest on its bonds. The bill asked for the appoint ment of a receiver. E. B. Winters, general manager of the Traction Com pany was appointed receiver for the lines and the court took charge of the properties.
 Several days later Mr. Apperson reach ed Montgomery. It was announced that he was the representative of Philadel- phia capitalists who intended reorga- nizing the Traction Company.
 The next day MT. Apperson was elect ed president of the reorganized compa- ny.
 MT. Rushton said last night: "we had so many details to arrange today, that we were unable to assume control of the lines but unless something unfore- seen arises, an order will be issued by Judge Jones tomorrow, turning the properties of the company over to us"
 MT. Apperson met the directors of the Montgomery Baseball Association last night. It is we'll understood that practically all of the stock of the Mont gomery Baseball Association is owned by the Traction Company in the name of its manager. D. E. Winters. At the meeting last night, MT. Apperson as- sured the directors that he was with them heart and soul and would do all in his power to promote baseball in Montgomery.
 Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United allowing the Montgomery Baseball As sociatlon to lease the ground of the Traction Company at Athletic Park.
 No contract was entered into be- tween the two companies before the Traction Company was thrown into the hands of the Court and accordingly special permission had to be given by the court for the lease of the grounds.
 Until he assumes active control of the lines of the company, MT. Apperson will give out no statement relative to his policies or to his management.

Montgomery County Negro in Jail on
 This Charge.

MontgOmery County Negro in Jail on
 This Charge.
 Joe Jeems. a negro, is in the Mont- gomery County jail. under order of United States Commissioner John A. Fillmore. He is charged with selling whiskey in the vicinity of a church, thereby disturbing public worship. against the peace and dignity of the United States of America.
 The complaint against Joe Jeems was made by the negro pastor of White Banner Christian Church, which Is To- cated near Pike Road.
 He told the Commissioner of the trials and tribulations of minding the spiritual welfare of congregation of field hands. He told of the scanty coi- lections, the incessant chicken raids and the frequent assemblage of almost his entire congregation to spend an hour or more rolling dice.
 All of these he said he could stand but when Joe Jeems broke up his ses- vices by selling liquor in the vicinity of the church he had to appeal to the law of the land.
 The pastor told how Joe Jeems has been selling whiskey every Sunday near the church for twenty years. He related how the astute Jeems recog- nized that the greatest gathering in the country was on Sabbath morning about church time. and as the negroes came to church they were lured from the straight and narrow path by the wares of Jeems. Often when members of his congregation entered the chapel they were hardly able to walk and totally unable to pray. All of the intended contents of the collection box had found It's way to the privy purse of the infamous Jeems and often worship was completely disorganized by the cry of Jeems outside the church door. | Good gin fer sale"
 The Commissioner agreed with the pastor and Jeems was bound over to the Federal grand jury.

SAVED HIS
 CHILD'S LIFE. One-half Bottle of Rex a all Mucu-T0ne Puts Child on Road to Re- coVery. R el eyes
 MOth0r'S Anxiety.

MT. E. G. Fowler, Montgomery, Ala. {: Dear Sir--'1 bought your Mucu-Tone for my little boy, four years old, who was suffering from catarrh of the head and throat. He had it since he was two years old. During the past fall and winter he had whooping cough and measles which left him in a very bad condition. He had very bad dis charge of the head, and as soon as he would lie down to sleep the mucous would run down into his throat and choke him so we would have to sit up until he would be able to catch his breath. Ills lungs also had a rattling in them and he had a wheeZing in his throat. His little heart was very weak, and we did not think we would be able to get anything to help him as he was in such bad condition.
 Seeing Rexall Mucu-Tone adver- tised we concluded to give it a trial, and we are very thankful we did so, as he has taken little over half a bottle and Is fast on the road to recovery; the discharge of the head Is stopped and his lungs do not rattle any more. He eats and sleeps well.
 You may be sure we feel as though we could not thank you enough for the great good your medicine has done our little boy.
 with heaTtIeJ thanks, l am Slncere- ly, Mrs. George E. Bailey. Cor Conn., and Seaview Ayes. Bridgeport Conn.,"
 We have many more testimonials of the good work that Rexall Mucu-Tone is doing in our city," said Mir. E. G. Fowler "Mucu-Tone gets right in and absolutely drives out the germs that cause catarrh.
 Besides all that, MucuTone. as its very name implies. tones up the mu- cous tissues that have been diseased by catarrh and fortifies your system against any subsequent attacks
 If you are troubled with catarrh in any form, internal or external, wheth- CT catarrh of the head and nasal pas sages. catarrh of the stomch, bladder Kidneys or intestines, or any catarrhal condition of the entire system, if you want to be cured of 1t and prevent 1t from attacking you again. then you must drive absolutely every trace of It out of your system: Rexall Mucu-Tone will do this.
 We have q large trial bottle at fifty cents which we would be very glad to | have anyone try on our personal rec lomniendation. and if it doesn't benefit them we shall be very glGd to refund the money. E. G. Fowler
